We hired EDS for a major landscaping project in 2023. One of the main reasons we selected EDS was…read morethe promise of maintenance-free landscaping. We also specifically requested that our existing mature, healthy, and unique trees be preserved. These trees were an important part of our property and provided significant privacy. I was only able to stop the removal partway through the project, but several trees had already been taken out. We were told at the time that the removed trees would be replaced with new plantings that would ultimately provide a better overall appearance and maintain privacy. Unfortunately, this has not been our experience. Many of the replacement trees have struggled to survive, and within a couple of years several have died. We have already had to replace at least four trees at our own expense. In addition, when I reached out to Mark about one of the failing replacement trees, I was initially told that replacing a small pine tree would cost approximately $800. I ultimately purchased a comparable tree from Home Depot for about $70 instead. After this, communication stopped and I did not receive further responses. While the initial sales process and communication were positive, the long-term results have not reflected the premium price we paid. The loss of mature privacy trees, the need for repeated replacements, and the lack of follow-up support have left us disappointed with the overall outcome.

If you have a big, expensive project and want to let someone else design it, this company may be…read morevery good (look at the photos on their website), but if you have something small, or your own idea of what you want, look elsewhere. They were up front about having a minimum project cost of $10K. I was willing to pay at least that for work on combination of several gardens around my yard. I took Mark around the yard and told/showed him what I wanted to do. Several weeks later (and much longer than he said it would take), I went to his office to look over his plans. Nothing in the plans had any resemblance to what I told him I wanted. He wanted to rip out all the perennial flower beds that all my neighbors and I love for their year-round color (I even get many compliments even from strangers walking by). His plans replaced them all with "Japanese gardens." He told me he's been doing Japanese gardens for years, but what he wanted to do was, at best, Japanese-inspired gardens because they defied a lot of Japanese garden design principles. I've spent a lot of time studying Japanese gardens, including 2 weeks touring Japanese Gardens in and near Kyoto Japan with Judith Clancy who has written a book on the subject, so I know what is and isn't a Japanese garden. There is much more to Japanese garden design than putting rocks and trees in together. EDS did landscaping for a neighbor a number of years ago. The work in front is lovely, However, in back there are 5 evergreens that looked very nice when planted, but were placed too close to the house and now that they have grown will have to be taken out because the branches are rubbing against the siding and the trees are blocking windows. One of the berms installed and another area also became overrun with European Snow on the Mountain that required Roundup to eradicate it.

I have done many home improvements in the last few years and this was by far the best experience I have ever had with a contractor.

SMA Exteriors redid my roof in 2024 after a hail storm. In 2025 I discovered water leaking into my…read moregarage where the roof and gutter meet the wall. Turns out they never installed a kickout flashing/bump out in that spot. When I called, they came back and added it for free, but told me there "wasn't one there before" when they did the roof. To me that admits they knew it should have been there. Kickout flashing costs cents and is basic code/best practice to prevent water intrusion. Because it was missing, water ran behind the siding and rotted the wall sheathing. I had to tear off drywall in the garage and found the damage. When I asked SMA to help, they said it's not covered under warranty and isn't their fault. Their reasoning was the damage is "old" because there was never flashing there originally. My response: if the job was done correctly in 2024, we wouldn't be debating old vs new damage. I didn't open the wall until a year after their work, and the sheeting was rotten underneath. I spoke with owner Steve. He said, "we can agree to disagree" and that they aren't willing to help. When I asked why his crews or project manager missed this, he said they notice and add kickouts now, but "must not have known to add them before." Meanwhile my garage has water damage from work they did, and they aren't concerned with helping a past client. To make it worse, this house was purchased from a friend. SMA tried to use that against me, implying they would've helped the previous owner but not me because "my name isn't on it." That's a terrible way to stand behind your work. I've read their responses to other bad reviews - lots of talk about how long they've been in business and how they "treat everyone right." Yet multiple people are saying the same thing: issues get denied and not fixed. Stuff happens in construction. The difference between a good company and a bad one is whether they fix mistakes they caused. The most ironic part: this is a company that will argue with insurance that damage isn't "old" when it benefits them, but the moment a homeowner questions them, suddenly everything is "old damage." Can't have it both ways. Plenty of honest roofers in the area who will actually fix their mistakes instead of walking away. Look elsewhere

This is an awful company! WATCH OUT!…read more This company was contracted to do work at my neighbors on a garage roof that overhangs a shared alley. Two guys from this company made a huge mess, leaving nails and debris in the alley. I drove by to get to my house, the only way for me to get home, and one of their roofing nails punctured the sidewall of my front tire. Immediately after driving by and arriving home I noticed the nail. I walked back to the garage later on and found another one of the EXACT SAME roofing nails that I found in my tire, so don't tell me it wasn't your nail! I drive an AWD Subaru and the tire couldn't be patched, so I was required to buy a set of 4 new tires. I was told that they would pay for 1/2 of the expense, but this happened a month ago and I still haven't seen anything. Can't get a hold of anybody in the company whenever I call and it sounds like the owner doesn't come in for long periods of time. Maybe if they did, things like this wouldn't happen. $800.00 down the drain because of this company's negligence and inability to clean up after themselves. Unprofessional and unresponsive- take your business somewhere else! Take accountability and compensate me for the damage you caused! UPDATE: The owner of this company, Steve, agreed to pay for part of the four tires, but not until I take this post down and come in to sign paperwork that I won't post bad reviews about the company. Yikes! Never got paid. Avoid this business. If you don't believe me, read one of their many other 1-star reviews
