Country Landscapes and Tree LLC

The company has always performed well - they do quality work for reasonable rates. When cutting the grass they vary the pattern so as to not cause pattern in the grass. Tree removal - good clean up.

The actual work done was satisfactory, just incomplete: the shrubbery was largely removed (some vegetation left but little enough that I will be able to get the rest out myself), The trees that were supposed to be taken down were taken down, and only one tree was taken down that I wasn't expecting, but I had told them "when in doubt, take it out", so I have no complaint with that. 

One significant problem for me is that my understanding was that the original agreement included grinding the stumps of the trees taken down around the house, especially over the end of my leach field, so that the guy who cuts my grass could mow everywhere there had been overgrowth.  However, the stumps of none of the trees were ground down (only the three Rose-of-Sharon bushes at the corner of the house), and I was quoted an additional charge to do the tree stumps.  Then when they did come out to grind the stumps of the trees down, I wasn't home and they only did three small tree stumps in the front yard (for which they are charging me $75), and none of the ones at the end of leach field that I understood to be included in the additional quote. The stumps confusion was all verbal--I've learned my lesson: have a detailed, written, counter-signed contract, no matter how great the person you are dealing with seems to be).

Finally, I had got a quote from them for resurfacing my driveway with gravel. Again there was confusion about what was going to be done (whether it would be scraped down first or not, given that there's a large rock at the surface across the width of the driveway, and for this I have a complete email chain so I'm clear that I am not the source of the confusion). There was further confusion about when the work would be done. Lastly I have learned that the quote is high compared to what my neighbors have paid for comparably sized driveways, so I'm going to resume shopping around.  I'd have been willing to pay it, however, if I'd been confident of a good job, and no confusion about what I was or was not paying for.  The repeated 'surprises' were not reassuring, however, and I have decided that I will not have any further work done by them.

They are detailed and thoughtful, from the quote process to clean-up/ They take into consideration their clients needs and financials. They are a lovely team to work with.

We have quite a large area to mow.  CT & T are committed to excellence.  They are consistent and always do a great job.  They charge a fair price for the amount of work.  The gentleman they hired is kind, and a hard worker.
