I wanted a new fence but the property line had about 2' slope, so I thought I would get a wall built. I got three estimates for a wall to be built in the backyard. I took Raymond landscaping as the contractor that would build the wall. Communication between them and myself was OK. They would always get back to me towards the end of the day. When work started to begin I actually had my communication with the mason who was building the wall. Between his ideas and my wants, I ended up with a really nice wall. Their building methods adhered to the dry wall method of construction. The wall was done at the end of the summer, so I didn't get to plant anything. Next spring will be very busy! I would hire them again if I had work to do that I couldn't do myself. Attached are some pictures I just took, along with ones where the wall just done and the new fence not in yet. read more

Do not hire. They damaged our fence, did not complete the job, did not clean up or weed as agreed. Very unprofessional

First few years with them was great but over the last 3 years service has gone WAY down. Completely rude office staff and owner. Told me after all these years that my every other week cutting would have to go to every week and that it was a mistake they should have remedied last year. How is that my issue to pay? Especially if they are just noticing now. Was told "How is it their responsibility to eat the money because I only want my lawn cut every 2 weeks". Done. Not even high quality lawn cutting to make up for it. read more

I needed my back yard graded for a new garden project. The guys were very efficient and thorough, even to remove some old Forsythea shrubs. Josh understood my plans and even amended the soil with nice mushroom compost. The grading went well, as my yard has a slight pitch to it for runoff, and leveled out the areas where my raised beds were to go. I would recommend. read more

There's another review here that states "At first, we were frustrated by the slow customer service" and that couldn't be more accurate. I got a quote from Josh on grading and seeding my front lawn. It took weeks to hear back from him with any sort of date for the work to be done. When the day finally came for the job to be done, they didn't show up, and didn't call. I called and got no answer and his voicemail was full. He later called me back and scheduled for the next day. The next day... again, no show, no call. Unfortunately, as a home-owner, you run into people running their business like this all the time. It really is hard to get good help. read more

Held off on writing this review from early spring to see if Raymond would make right on my lawn. They did not, now I have a small claim judgement that they lost and are not paying. Long story short and to the fact only. Hired Raymond in fall of 2019 to replant entire lawn following home addition construction. Paid more upfront than originally discussed for what he said was an add, but we discussed and I had planned from day 1 for the dirt that would be the fire pit area. I thought would maybe end up with a better relationship so paid the little bit more than make a big deal. Lawn was supposed to look like neighbors in spring since Josh said the soil, hay, etc and it didn't need anything more. Spring 2020 came and lawn was not looking good. Josh came out and then I could not get in tough with them on how they would fix. When I contacted to say I was filing claim, Josh sent me more excuses and quote for another $1000. See attached pic and let me know if you think that is worth $5K and then have a contractor not make good. read more

Raymond Landscaping - Lawn pic for my review of landscaping - Landscaping Near Me - Trappe,, Pennsylvania

After two OK spring jobs, I have experienced a big downturn this year (2019). I hired Raymond Landscaping to edge and mulch trees and flower beds. The work that was that was done was OK, but they ran out of mulch and left one good-sized tree undone. The worker took a picture of the tree and said he "would tell the boss". Nothing happened. Have had several conversations with them, but still no resolution. Now I received a "past due" bill. Planning to call them and demand job completion before payment. Very disappointed; will not use them again. read more

Josh and his team did an amazing job helping us simplify our yard. The previous owner had put in multiple garden "patches" around the property. It was just too much garden for my husband and I to keep up with. The yard was turning into an overgrown lot. Josh listened to our concerns and worked with us to come up with the best solution for our situation. The Raymond Landscaping team pulled out multiple garden areas, leveled the ground and laid sod. It looks great and has made our yard so much easier to maintain. We continue to get compliments from our neighbors..We liked their work so much, we had them put a stone patio in for us as well! We highly recommend Raymond Landscaping to anyone looking for a hardworking, honest landscaping team! read more

We received a few services from Josh and team last year, including having some new trees put in and other trees moved around. At first, we were frustrated by the slow customer service but eventually the work got done and it was no big deal. The tree service came with the promise of a 1 year warranty if the trees died. Later that summer, the tree died and we called and asked for them to replace it. We've been requesting a replacement for close over six months and they still have not done it and have stopped replying to emails or calls. They do not stand by their product or their promises. We have a lot more landscaping needs and will surely be going elsewhere. read more

Josh and his team do a great job maintaining my unwieldy yard and gardens, and digging me out after snowstorms. They also have done a number of projects for me, including fencing and installing garden areas. He's not only reliable and fairly priced, but he's extremely friendly and customer service oriented. Highly recommend. read more

Raymond Landscaping was hired by our rear bordering resident to completely demolish, remove, and replace the landscape wood wall that failed bordering our properties. The original landscape wall was 12 feet high and was to be replaced with a 14 foot high interlocking block wall, under low utility lines, with the only construction access being through our property. They completed this task of installation, grading and restoration very quickly and with little inconvenience to us and our neighbors. Everyday after work, they cleaned up and kept our driveway and street to our satisfaction and complied with the conditions of the Upper Merion municipal permit. My neighbor and I are very pleased with the project completion in such a short period. read more
