Collegiate Landscaping

I could not be more disappointed with Collegiate Landscaping. In the fall of 2024, my husband met with Devon to discuss the best course of action for our front lawn. It was full of green grass, but several types of grass. My husband wanted it all one species. Devon’s solution was to kill the whole front lawn and replant, promising some grass before winter and a gorgeous lawn in the spring. We paid $3,000 for this service. Our lawn this spring is almost completely weeds. My husband started leaving messages in April and I’ve been emailing Collegiate, asking for help. They completely ghosted us. No calls no replies to my email. I do not recommend trusting this company to deliver on their promises. Clearly they took the money and ran, and now we are left with a giant lawn of weeds, much worse than original lawn. I couldn’t be more disappointed.

That made me want to part ways and I simply asked for them to bill me for the work that they did. I waited a while and received no bill so I contacted them again to ask about the bill. I was told that they were recalculating because of a surcharge for canceling my contract agreement, which I NEVER signed. Devin (operations manager) told me that since I canceled, that I did not comply with the contract and will actually be charged a higher fee than what we verbally agreed on. The misunderstanding got out of hand; if you want to hire this company you better have a lawyer because it is all very technical. This could have been left at simple misunderstanding between both parties and the bill be settled with no problem in the amount that we agreed on. Instead he threatened to take me to court to settle this and proudly told me that they've taken people to court for $40! I think people need to know this, that this company may know well but they don't any conflict resolution skills at all. I would not recommend them to anyone or ever hire them again.

The service was okay. They did not do everything I expected them to do. They were supposed to remove the branches and leaves and they just removed the leaves. The workers were okay.

They did a great job, and I was pleased with the work.
