I knew I was likely going to hire Oscar and his team just by the mere fact that he actually showed up (early in fact) to our appointment for the quote. Not only was he punctual, he was responsive communicative and extremely professional. they sent me the estimates by the end of that same day (others took weeks or didn't even bother to show up at all). They delivered as promise, showed up on time, and his team of 3 finished my large property in 1.5 days. My garden beds look amazing! We hired them for mulching and edging the beds only, but already getting quotes for other work. I highly recommend the Rivera brothers for all your landscaping and hardscaping needs.

From the moment we first called for an estimate, they were professional, timely, responsive and fair. Their quote was well below another local tree company. Their skill - by a team of at least 6 crew members- was phenomenal! They coordinated their work, took great care with our yard and fence, and took the trees down without any problems. They cleaned up beautifully and even came back another day to clean up some more. Eduardo and Liz, the co-owners, couldn't have been more responsive. They even plan on coming back in a few months to seed a few areas of lawn that were affected by their equipment. I can't recommend Luna enough!! It's refreshing to work with a business that is so fair, professional and honest.

Our new backyard was filled with large, unhealthy trees that were in danger of falling at some point (and positioned precariously over neighbors' homes!). Rather than wait for that to happen, we called Luna after the biz was recommended to us by multiple friends. The walkthrough and consultation with Liz was straightforward and informative, and we quickly came up with an action plan. Within weeks, the crew was onsite taking down trees -- I was so surprised and impressed that they were able to accomplish so much in December! Communication was great, and the cost was worth every penny. Thinking about the high winds in some of this winter's storms, I'm incredibly relieved that the trees were taken out at the beginning of the season. We've still got some work to do with Luna (general landscaping) but I'm so grateful to have found them for tree removal. We initially had another company come out and take a look but Luna's professionalism and efficiency blew the other biz out of the water. Highly recommend!

Fortunately they had fallen on the ground, causing no property damage. I called Andrew, of Trout Brook Landscaping to take down the damaged branches. Andrew has done tree removal previously on my property and on my parent's, so I knew he would be the perfect man for the job. Andrew is extremely professional, responsive and skilled in his line of work. He immediately came with his equipment, and took down the heavy tree branch, and he cut down the damaged branches off the dogwood tree. He of course cleaned up all of the tree debris. I highly recommend Andrew of Trout Brook Landscaping. If you need tree removal, or are concerned if your tree might be unsafe for your home, or anything else regarding landscaping. Andrew is the answer in the West Hartford area.

Formal Warning Regarding John (Mac) Bellingrath (Bellingrath Bros. Landscape & Design, Newington,…read moreCT): In August 2024, we entered into a contract with John (Mac) Bellingrath for a backyard renovation, paying approximately 95% of the total cost upfront--an error in judgment we fully acknowledge. The contract established clear completion deadlines for early September 2024, with allowances for minor delays. In the several months that followed through April 2025, Mr. Bellingrath repeatedly failed to meet numerous promised completion dates, including a final, "guaranteed" deadline of January 7, 2025. Despite our sustained good-faith efforts to allow him to meet his contractual obligations, he engaged in an ongoing pattern of project abandonment, unprofessional communication, substandard workmanship, and repeated false assurances. Ultimately, due to Mr. Bellingrath's continuous non-performance, escalating safety concerns, and deteriorating conduct, we were left with no choice but to formally terminate our relationship with him on April 1, 2025. The situation escalated to such an extent that police assistance was required to escort him on and off our property to retrieve his remaining equipment. Mr. Bellingrath's complete lack of professionalism, accountability, and competence turned our project into a nightmare. He repeatedly abandoned work, delivered subpar craftsmanship, and caused extensive damage--showing zero regard for our property or safety. A few examples include: * Repeated Abandoned Work & Safety Hazard: He dug an 80-foot trench for electrical conduits across our backyard and disappeared for weeks. In numerous occasions, Mr. Bellingrath left our backyard a dangerous construction site littered with heavy stones, machinery, and debris--forcing us to keep our children away. * Poor Work & Property Damage: Mr. Bellingrath sent an unqualified worker to handle critical tasks like building our patio, installing steps, and adding a rodent exclusion barrier. The result? A sloppy, unacceptable mess that required constant oversight. To make matters worse, this worker damaged our house siding. * Negligence & Destruction: Mr. Bellingrath's team repeatedly drove heavy machinery/vehicles over our front lawn--an area not even part of the job--destroying our front yard we worked hard to maintain. * Known to Authorities: Mr. Bellingrath's history of issues isn't unique to us. The West Hartford Police Department and town officials are well aware of the complaints against him. There is much more to say about this, but we'll stop here. Beyond our personal experience, we have been contacted by other clients reporting similar grievances, including significant upfront payments for unfinished work and long delays exceeding several months. It is evident that Mr. Bellingrath's conduct constitutes a serious breach of contract, a disregard for professional standards, and raises broader concerns for consumer protection. Mr. Bellingrath continued operation poses a significant risk to other unsuspecting clients and we urge anyone considering hiring him to exercise extreme caution and due diligence.
