As part of my project, they removed several 50+year-old rare peony plants that were meant to be…read morepreserved by having the hardscape created as a memorial garden. Ever since I gave them kind and honest feedback about their lack of management on my job leading to those plants being lost, they have done everything possible to avoid fixing costly mistakes they left that were never part of the project scope to begin with. TL;DR: Villa doesn't know the difference between nutrient dense seeding soil used for planting grass seed and plants versus dirty landscaping fill with pulverized stone and gravel used for leveling landscaping, grading and creating the foundation for hardscapes - in case you're confused, one kind grows stuff and the other doesn't, yet these experts who've been in business for 30+ years seem to have no clue about this difference. To cosign another reviewer, "I have never encountered such a poorly managed job. They did a job done, but it came with a lot of stress and distress and disappointments. Please use another company."

After 20 years, our patio had sunk and was uneven so we contracted with Villa to design and replace…read morethe old patio. Andy did the design and quotation and was a pleasure to work with. He is a great and timely communicator and a competent designer. He listened to our wants and needs including reusing as many of the original pavers as possible to reduce waste. Brett, Garrett and Glenn did the demo and reconstruction. They are professional and pay attention to detail. They exceeded our expectations in workmanship and project duration. Landscaping is not inexpensive but you get what you pay for. Villa delivers on their promises and is worth the price.

When they arrived to do the work, Curtis made sure to walk me through everything they were doing and how the job was going. By the time he and his team left, you would never know there were here, except the fence was good as new! I would recommend C Stone Landscaping to anyone looking for landscape improvement or maintenance. It's a pleasure doing business with a company that cares about your project as much as you do.

We hired Bill to tear out our old concrete patio and lawn and install pavers, new sod along with…read moreall new sidewalks. This was done very late in the fall of 2019. We did not have a chance to access the work, as it snowed shortly after he completed the job. Come spring 2020 we noticed that a large portion of the pavers have settled towards the house, which causes the water to run towards our home. The reason for the landscaping in the first place was because of this issue, which is now worse than it was before.   As for the sod, the yard was never graded and fill was not laid appropriately so the sod could grow. We are left with a very rough yard of dead sod. The only thing that was done properly was the sidewalks, which Bill subcontracted out. The sub contractor came to our residence twice asking for payment even though Bill was paid in full. The sub contractor still has not been paid. 01002339275-00 9 We paid over $18,000 for this landscaping and are left with and absolute disaster. We had several other landscaping companies come to assess and to have the work done properly which we already paid Bill to do will cost at least $7,000. Mind you when we told the other companies what we paid for the work Bill attempted to complete they were astonished and said we were severely overcharged. We have requested Bill pay for us to have the landscaping done properly. We are not asking for reimbursement of the entire amount, but just what we will have to pay to have it completed properly. Bill has refused so we have no other recourse than to file suit. In the process of doing so it appears this will not be the first time Bill has been sued. Appears he operated under a different business name and was sued by another individual, as he has several judgments. We would highly think twice before hiring Bill to do any work for you.

They were great at helping us come up with a plan for the area that would make the area more livable for us and handle water well. Plant selection was another area where they provided great advice. When it came time to put the plan into action, they worked with us on things we wanted to do ourselves to save money (demolition work), have them do, or have them subcontract to others (like pouring the new patio). I would use them again and recommend them to others.

I met with three representatives from Phillips Garden. We had a long meeting which I thought went…read morevery well. At the end, we agreed they would do a design for a patio on one side of my property. I waited several weeks but never heard back from them. When I contacted them, they informed me they were not interested in working with me. Apparently they were not going to contact me of their own volition and I felt very stupid having waited several weeks for a design and informing family members of my "great" meeting. I do have a place on a larger chunk of land, so I think perhaps the scope of the project was too large for an urban landscaping company. However, I think it would have been much nicer to have told me this and not have me foolishly under the impression that they would do work for me when they had no intentions whatsoever. The whole situation was unpleasant and bizarre.

My cousin,…read morewho cares for my aunt called me last night not knowing what to do about a large tree branch that fell in the yard. My father, who would help my aunt with a lot of household stuff passed away 5 years ago. So, my cousin reached out to me asking what to do. I found Family Tree Service searching Google. Called Travis and explained what we needed done. He got back to me quickly with a very reasonable estimate and took care of the problem within a few hours of the call same-day. My Cousin also had questions about some other tree issues in the yard. Travis made some recommendations as to how to proceed and offered to help if needed. My cousin said Travis could not have been more pleasant to work with. If my aunt needs tree/lawncare help in the future, Travis and Family Tree Service will definitely be my go to.

Very nice doing business with arborist Travis from Family Tree Services! Sent photos of what I…read moreneeded and he provided a quote range, which was on point when he got there to see in person. I was hoping to remove limb above neighbors side of fence to clear some space over their yard, as well as trim the tree away from the house. Once he got there Travis was kind enough to explain that cutting the limb away would likely hollow that bit out and that I'd probably get the desired result by simply trimming away the branches growing downwards along there. He also mentioned that he could do that and if I wanted more done could always do that after I saw it and decide from there. Very pleased with the results, both of clearing a nice patch away from neighbors side and of trimming back away from the house. Will be using him again!
