It was time to add some color and texture to the yard along both sides of the 120 foot long driveway and to the front of the house/entryway. We have lived here for 24 years and never did much but cut back the overgrowth and keep the existing azaleas trimmed. Needless to say it was blah. We live in a wooded area with a fair amount of shade. Chris came out, looked at it, listened to what we wanted to do which was add plants to the areas but keep it looking like a park setting in the trees. He did just that. He and his crew worked hard getting the old vegetation removed and completely transformed the area. It looks wonderful. He used about 10 different kinds of plants and a tree of differing colors and heights to create the look plus a few lights to highlight the oaks. We are very happy with the results and the price. Chris has a Master's Degree in this and his designs and thought processes really show through. We highly recommend CJ's Landscaping/Chris Swezey to anyone who needs this type of work done. Ours was a blank canvas and he the artist that gave it life.

CJ's has taken care of our grass and plantings with particular care. We get regular compliments on our yard. We live in a Deed Restricted Community with strict rules about lawn maintenance. CJ's keeps our grass in great shape and takes care of the bushes as well.

I have used Chris for many projects throughout the years and have never been disappointed. I would recommend Chris for any landscaping project and also for lawn maintenance.

Chris is very knowledgeable, extremely professional, and obviously loves what he is doing. We have recommended him to neighbors. He is very direct about things that will and will not work. His prices are reasonable and his work high quality. If we ever move, we very much hope he services our area.

Once I got a hold of him, he came and was very knowledgeable of what we needed done. The first time the service was done, he was also present to oversee the project. That was the last time we saw him. His workers did not maintain our property good enough for our HOA, had to leave message (never returned our calls to talk in person to answer our questions) every month to remind him that it was overdue for service. Have since found some who follows thru and communicates much better. If CJ would have done our maintenance, I feel it would have been better, at least if he was on location during the maintenance.
Response from CJ'S Landscaping
"[Member Name Removed], I did return your calls several times, left messages every time, and spoke with you or your husband at least twice. We were contracted to service the property twice monthly. During the early part of the Summer, we did miss a service, but made it up the following week. After you called to cancel service, we went back out and trimmed and weeded all areas. Sorry for the mix up. We do quite a few properties in your community and some we've done for years."

Great job. Came to the house and gave me an estimate within 48 hours of my inquiry. Had a bit of a delay getting started because of an equipment problem but kept me well informed throughout the process. Really did a nice of removal and cleaning up. Will hire again to plant.

Overpriced and didn't follow instructions. Put a flower bed on the side of house that it goes unseen. He was supposed to replant a bunch of Ti plants in front of the home that can't handle the afternoon sun. The Ti in the front of my home were not relocated, they remain. I gave specific instruction where I wanted mulch put based on visibility and order of importance in this order [1. Front, 2. Back of home on canal, North side (visible from street) and South side- invisible] . Landscaper proceeds to put a $250. flower bed on the side of my house that is invisible to public and the last place I wanted mulch for that reason! I asked him to only mulch that area of the home if there was enough mulch left over to do so. I had to go out purchase more mulch for him to mulch the back of the home which was the 2nd location , I had to go out and purchase more mulch He blamed his worker and had an excuse for everything...

Chris was honest and did what he said he would do. He was on time and schedule and he cleaned. Up after he was finished . We are pleased with CJ's and will use the again.

They've been great. We will use them again. He has done some landscaping and next year we probably will have him re-landscape the entire property. It was a great experience. He is very knowledgeable and conscientious. His price was good.

Chris Swezey and his crew were very knowledgeable, professional and did a high quality job. Chris' plant selections were wonderful and mainly his design. The plants were good size, and in excellent condition. My wife and me were very pleased. Chris took the time to give us the history behind his choices and how to care for them. The decorative block wall is awesome in the yard, and the new rock in front make our home look like a million dollars. I would use CJ's Landscaping and Chris again and highly recommend his services to others. Price, value and workmanship is second to none. Alan and Pat Gascon

Response from CJ'S Landscaping
"Mr. Hassliner replied to my concern about the "C" review by bringing up a few things which we said were not done. Namely, that his RR tie parking area was not pinned down and that an area where our truck got stuck was not repaired. I personally pinned down every single tie in the parking area, so I know it was done correctly. The area where we got stuck was repaired, and I even sent a man over with an additional 3 tons of fill dirt that he requested for an adjacent area. We did not charge him for this additional work. We also had a problem with the sump pump, which we warranted out within 48 hours of him calling. I'm sorry he felt that our work was any less then "A" work, but my crew and I were very happy with the job and [Member Name Removed] gave no indication that he was unhappy about anything while we were working or when we came back to replace the pump at no charge."

The new gardens are beautiful. The job was completed on time at the agreed upon price. The quality of the plants are excellent. There were no unexpected extra costs or issues. Chris is a very knowledgeable professional. He was successful in helping me to achieve the look I desired for my landscape.

It had been more than 15 years since anything has been done to cleanup the bushes, trees, and weeds. it was completely overgrown with some trees more than twenty five feet tall. I live out of state so I was unable to meet Chris in person. There was an element of trust from my relationship with Angie's List to decide to go forward. It worked out perfectly. Chris' crew removed everything and scraped the lot to bare ground. Great job, thanks.

Our home has not looked this good since the day we moved here in 2006. In the 2 months since the work was completed, the yard has stayed in beautiful condition, in large part due to the correct selection of plants, use of appropriate ground cover, and the care that was done in the preparation of the planters.
Needless to say, we could not be happier with the professionalism and service provided by Chris Swezey and his crew. Would definitely use this company again, and have already recommended to others.
