I don't think I've ever seen a landscaping crew (or a contractor of any kind for that matter) do as thorough and diligent job as these guys did.
We hired them to put in a fieldstone wall and build up our front landscaping, after the Snowmageddon blizzard destroyed all our existing plants. We also had them installing 6 yards of mulch in our backyard, which is about 1/2 reclaimed scrub forest and thus full of roots, broadleaf weeds, and other weird plants that just won't go away.
First, the front - these guys put in a solid day just prepping the site of the wall - leveling the ground, digging below grade and putting in sand, rerouting our gutter downspouts, and so on. Then another (hot!) day building the wall and adding the fill (good topsoil, too) and yet another day doing the mulch and planting the new (and hopefully more snow resistant) plants.
They also salvaged the surviving plants and replanted them in good locales in the back yard - a nice touch.
Speaking of the mulch; they went through the entire area and, using a hoe, took out all the weeds and other undesirable plants. They also evened up the edges of the yard where the grass and mulch meet.
They left the site clean and tidy, to boot.
Five star service all the way! read more
