"The man who came out was very punctual and polite.. He quickly found the problem, explained it to me and fixed it. I was very pleased with their service. I gave them a 'b'' on the price. I don't have anything to compare it to, but iti seems a bit high to me. Putting that aside, I would still use them again."

"Awesome Job! This guy knows the Job, and my wife very happy with the exterior designs he recommended. surprisingly he came back after few days to checked back if anything we need him to adjust or redo. We said NO we love it. I already recommended him for family and friends, I will always call him back anything I need to do again! Thanks Collins… ?"

"Overall, communication was good, the work performed was excellent and the contracted services were delivered on-time. Mr. Gregory paid attention to the details and he was flexible and adaptable to how I wanted the yard to be serviced. Highly recommended.

Three years ago I redid the landscaping out front myself and since then I had been doing all the maintenance. I couldn't devote the time to do trimming last fall and this spring so the bushes became overgrown and were overlapping. I found Mr. Gregory on Angie's list and gave him a call. He answered right away and scheduled me for an estimate in the next few days. He came out when promised and gave a reasonable estimate for the amount of work that needed to be done. I agreed to the terms and we signed a contract with 1/2 the amount as an immediate deposit.

For the job, I bought 6 plats of flowers and 140 cu ft (~48 bags) of mulch in bulk from a local nursery.

He and his son began work when promised. On the first day they worked about 5 hours and started with trimming the bushes and clearing the mulch beds. On the second day they worked another 5+ hour day and finished clearing the mulch beds, put in the flowers and started putting in the mulch. The mulch was delivered on a gardening truck and dumped on top of plastic on the driveway. Mr. Gregory and his son put in a lot of work wheelbarrowing the mulch to the mulch beds. On the third day for about 2 hours Mr. Gregory finished the mulching and created the mulch beds around the trees out back.

I inspected the work along the way and when everything was done, I wrote a check for the final amount. His work saved me several weekends of my time. He is meticulous and seemed to treat my yard like his own. Great job and overall a good experience.

The only downside was entirely my fault in not communicating what I wanted clearly. I didn't intend for the bushes to be cut back as far as they were. Just as my own preference, the bushes should have been 2-3and quot; longer on top and the sides. Obviously, they look good as is and definitely will grow to this length by the fall. (The upside is I don't have to trim this fall!). My wife expected the bushes to be cut by hand as we normally do instead of by a power trimmer but we never relayed that information to Mr. Gregory and it would have added tremendously to the cost. Bottom line - Tell Mr. Gregory what exactly what you want and he is flexible enough to do exactly what you want - as long as you pay for his time."

"Mr. Webb came out to do my estimate quickly after my initial request. I had some odd jobs around my house that I have been meaning to take care of. He charged me a flat, per day amount that I thought was very reasonable. I ordered the columns that needed to be replaced in front of my house and he told me that his crew would pick everything up from the store on the way over to do the work.
It was the easiest process I have ever experienced with a service provider. He told me when they would be out, which was about 2 weeks from my initial contact ? very quick, in my opinion.  I also didn't even need to be home since everything was outside that needed to be repaired.  When I got home from work everything was complete and looked so good.  I was also provided all of the receipts for anything they had to go out and buy to finish the job, which I really appreciated.  The only not positive thing for me is that I wish I would have had an idea of how long each job would take.  When I got home early that day to check the progress, they were already finished.  There were a couple other minimal things I could have had them do (replace two lighting fixtures outside) if I would have known the time for completion on the other jobs would not take a full day, since I was paying a per-day rate.  However, as I?ve said, the rate was very reasonable, so I wasn?t too worried about it. 
Overall, it was a very positive experience.  I already know that I will use them again for a later project and have recommended them to others.
