Joab was terrific to work with—responsive, friendly, excellent pricing, can-do attitude, did everything he said he would.
He came out quickly to assess the job and was helpful with suggestions. Very happy with the result and deal he gave me.

From my first communication with Joab of A Little Finesse, to completion of 200' of a French drain being installed was 5 days! Personable and professional is all I can share. I am so impressed that I have shared their information with all my neighbors and friends! As Joab told me, they can do anything for the outside of your house. You won't be disappointed with their quality of work.!! David Deliz

Joab Allen was great. Showed up when he said he would and stayed on project until work was completed, he even did additional work at no additional cost. Several of our neighbors have already hired him to do landscaping for them. Our front landscaping looks great it is everything and more than we were envisioning.

Dismiss robbed me, took $14000. And never did it thing, don't hire this guy. He's a liar and a thief. I would not recommend his guy to do anything for anyone.
Response from A Little Finesse
"Mr. Ralph [Consumer Name Removed] did have a bad experience. I am a small company that grew in 2024. I tried to expand by using other subcontractors when I needed them. I learned a few lessons this year. I have been with Angies list / Home advisor for 5 plus years. I was hired by Ralph to tear off and lay a metal roof. The Contractor I used could not pull the permit. Before I knew that I ordered the material for the roof. They would not deliver the material without a permit number. Thats when I was informed they could not pull that type of permit. At that point I lost the money for the material. Nothing was done for Mr."

Joe from A Little Finesse Landscaping gave May 8 as a start date, saying it would take 1 1/2 weeks to install a 4-5 zone, 11-14 head sprinkler system at my home for $4500. They overcharged my credit card for the 50 % deposit ($3,071.36!) Their response to my dispute to Citibank was that they **completed 95% of the job !!! After days and days of unanswered calls and texts ,on May 20, they finally dropped off their crew, 1 worker, (who is the Only good thing about their company- a hard worker) who dug *trenches and laid pvc pipe in them, nothing else was done, no sprinkler heads, solenoids, pressure gauge, etc.,**the job nowhere near completion. The entire yard a safety hazard for weeks, I couldnâ t go out to weed or harvest from my garden areas for fear of falling. Dave said the entire lawn would be watered at one time, I told him that was Not at all possible, he said to do it with zones running separately it would cost $7,000. - Bait and Switch, they took advantage of an 81 year old widow living on Social Security. Finally after 6 weeks of excuses and more unanswered calls, we hired a reputable company who had to *reconfigure the trenches and replace the 1 1/2 inch pipe with 1 inch pipe, and install sprinkler heads and solenoids, pressure gauge, etc. for 6 zones that would each run separately, They completed the job in 2 days for $3,600. This debaucle has been an extremely frustrating and expensive experience and I post this so no one else will fall prey to their unethical work practices.
Response from A Little Finesse
"* The job was matched to a previous quote provided by Michael * Michael continually insisted the scope of work was different than what was provided in the quote wanting a much more elaborate system than what was in the original agreement * A Little Finesse worked to accommodate Michael and his requests by adding additional irrigation lines and sprinkler heads, including offering to exchange the already installed pump if Michael would cover the cost of the difference between pumps (which he declined to do). * The systems trenching and irrigation piping was completely installed other than installing the sprinkler heads which would have been done after final testing of the system. * Inclimate weather delayed the project which made the area unworkable * A Little Finesse consistently worked with Michael to accommodate him and his mother on their project which they ultimately filed a chargeback on their credit card causing A Little Finesse to lose all money invested in the project * A Little Finesse kept in constant contact and communication over the project with Michael and his mother until legal threats were made * The job was 95% completed (leaving only the installation of the sprinkler heads,an electrical connection, back filling the trenches and a systems test) when the job was paused over legal threats made by Michael * All materials and products were left with Michael with no compensation to A Little Finesse"

I was very happy with the services from â A Little Finesseâ . Joab came out,listened to what I wanted, understood my ideas, and came up with a price in my budget. His crew did a great job. They were polite, professional ,and worked so hard to get my projects done. They trimmed back over 20 years of Travelers Palms unrelenting growth, cleared out a nice new bed across the front, and trimmed and cut trees. What a wonderful difference from the way it looked. My neighbors have been very complimentary on the fresh new look. I would certainly recommend â A Little Finesse â for landscape projects.
