What recent reviews say

Two long-term customers praise full-service work (mowing, aeration, hardscape, lighting) and professional standards. One unhappy customer reports undisclosed fees, unannounced price increases, and difficulty obtaining a promised refund from the owner.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Praised for
  • full-service maintenance package
  • professional crew
  • fair pricing for scope
Watch-outs
  • unclear or mislabeled fees
  • price hikes without notice
  • poor refund handling
  • dismissive communication
skilled-crewbudget-mismatchpoor-communication
Best for: homeowners seeking one contractor for mowing, edging, aeration, fertilizing, and hardscape work.
Think twice if: Fee structure is not transparent; get a detailed, itemized quote in writing before committing to a service plan.

Strengths

  • full-service (no need for multiple contractors)
  • long-term customer retention
  • hardscape and lighting work in-house

Worth knowing

  • Owner is Jim
  • One long-term customer (12 years) reports full-service scope: cut, edge, aerate, fertilize, seed, hedge trim, pine needles, paver landscaping, and spot lights
  • Another customer had experience with undisclosed fees and difficulty obtaining refund

Common questions

Do they handle both design and maintenance?
Yes. Long-term customers report using them for landscape design, lawn maintenance (mowing, edging, aeration, fertilizing, seeding), hedge trimming, paver work, and landscape lighting in one service.
Are they open year-round?
Their Google listing shows hours seven days a week, suggesting year-round availability, though seasonal services (color, aeration, seeding) are mentioned.

Most customers praise the crew's professionalism, punctuality, and the visible improvement in their lawns and plantings over months or years. Jim, the owner, stands out for knowledge and responsiveness in long-term relationships, though pricing runs high and some customers report broken promises and poor handling when plants die or damage occurs.

Andrew and his crew transform yards through hands-on design and meticulous execution across planting, hardscape, grading, and irrigation work. Reviewers consistently note the owner's involvement, quick response times, fair pricing, and pride in finishing details, though the business reportedly prioritizes contract clients over one-time projects.
