"He was very easy to work with. He saw the vision of what was needed and did it to perfection. He is very fair with his estimate and stayed with price quoted. Ask several times durning job if it was to our satisfaction and he also did a couple of other things that were not on his list but made the place look better. We are so happy with him that we have ask him to come back after the build and finish off the yard with seeding and whatever else is needed. ."
"They showed up and made my yard look way better. Very reasonable and very hard workers. I will definitely hire them more often when I need more work done."
After 30 years together, my wife and I bought our pickup and I am now looking to supplement my income by putting my pickup truck to work for me. Whether moving appliances or delivering purchases, I've got the tool for the job.

I called several providers that could seal a crawlspace seepage problem. Brian Flanagan provided the quote for CrawlspaceSolutions after inspecting the cement floor crawlspace and walking around the house inspecting landscape drainage. I ended up with two acceptable quotes. Crawlspace Solutions was significantly less expensive and offered more actual benefit in the combined indoor and outdoor work.
He offered several options for proceeding. At my request Brian broke out the options in his quote for: 1. Only crack injection sealing and interior drain tiling with sump pit and pump 2. Only exterior drainage correction 3. Combined if all work is to done at one time. He also provided options for a battery back up system for the sump pump and for pouring a new floor. An additional discount was offered if work could begin on Wednesday or Thursday the following week. I accepted all options.
The Crew arrived punctually on the Thursday and covered all floors for foot traffic, broke out the perimeter concrete, trenched and installed the tile, pit, pump, overlayed a new smooth finished floor and removed the sod, trenched, graveled, installed the external French drains to clear standing water and replaced the sod slightly raised to accommodate settling. They cleaned up all but a few smudges that were easily wiped away and were gone at the end of the day. Brian came on Friday to check the job. My only concern was that new cement touched the bottom of the furnace ducting in one place. They were to return the following Tuesday to install the battery backup pump, so he said the crew would come back then to cut, chip out, frame and re -cement to increase the clearance to the furnace and install a connection from the furnace depression to the drain tile. He also suggested that they would add another French drain outside and extend one installed the previous Thursday at no additional cost.
The crew arrived again on Tuesday and accomplished all of the assignments. Brian and the crew were very easy to work with and were genuinely dedicated to making sure that they were professionally proud of and that I was pleased with the work. I am extremely pleased with the outcome. The warranty is for life and transferable to a new owner."

"Nathan and his team were professional and timely in their work. We are very happy with the landscaping project. Voss is great to work with. He met with us in the evenings to plan the project. I highly recommend them."
"We had Patrick come out twice in the past two months. First, after the storm in July, we realized that our pump in our front yard flood control failed, resulting in our basement flooding. Patrick came out quickly to replace the pump. He knows what he's doing. He's been in the business for over 10 years, and he's a truly honest guy. The pump and the installation ran us about $500 bucks. Then, we most recently called him because we noticed a coroded pipe in our basement which was leaking. He said he was going to come out during the day, but didn't show up until dinnertime. One thing I would have appreciated if he would have just called my husband or me to let us know he wouldn't be able to make it until later. But, it wasn't a big deal at all, the work got done and it looks great. I also appreciated when he came out to give us an estimate on the leaking pipe that he checked our pump in the front yard, without us even asking! I thought that was really nice amd showed me that he's looking out for his clients.We will definitely call McDonagh and Sons in the future.... but hopefully not too soon! :)"
"I hired the company to do a make ready [clean up & prep] on a single apartment in a building which I own in the town where I live. I needed the property to be cleaned up so I could rent it again. I have been a landlord for over 20 years & hadn't found a vacated property in such a mess in all my years. They did the complete interior clean-up which took about five hours. And, the complete prep of the property. they took out all the trash & junk, and cleaned up all debris left in the yard. They did such a great job with that I decided to use them for the yard maintenance also. They cleaned all my flowerbeds & got them ready for spring, placed mulch & trimmed the shrubs and flowering trees. On the inside they made everything look brand new! Cleaning the walls, painting, cleaned the carpets & stripped & polished the wood floors...making them look brand new. The appliances that stayed were cleaned inside & out. They even remembered to get all the light fixtures clean for me. Dusted all window seals & doorways. Shine mopped all they tile floors. To top it all off they even gave the bathrooms a fresh clean look by putting a new caulk seal around the tubs, sinks & shower...which gave the bathrooms a fresh face. All in all I found it to be a very stress free pleasant experience. And, I will definitely call on them for the next project because if they could do so well with a nightmare like that I'm sure the less difficult will be equally affordable and easily handled. Everything just looked so nice when they were finished. Thanks, Green Earth "

Landscape design can be a simple service that includes a drawing or visual representation of how your yard can be set up and optimized for your intended purposes. But it can also include all of the manual labor to make your vision a reality. When you speak with your landscape designer, ensure everyone understands the specific services you want.
Some add-on services may include the following:
Sourcing and delivery of raw materials
Professional installation of features, including pergolas, decks, and pathways
Drainage system design
Recommendations for specific plants and trees
Unless it only rains once in a blue moon where you live, you’re going to want water-loving plants in your garden bed or pot. A few ideas for plants that aren’t super fast-growing (meaning they’re good in pots or near foundations) and can handle a lot of standing water include:
Acorus (Sweet flag)
Colocasia esculenta (Taro or elephant ear): In many climates, these are annuals, making them less desirable because you need to adjust the chain again after each replant.
Equisetum scirpoides (Dwarf horsetail rush): non-dwarf varieties of horsetail are fast growers and can take over quickly.
Juncus effusus (Curly rush)
Osmunda regalis (Royal fern): Royal fern can grow quickly but can also handle being crowded, making them good container plants.
Don’t worry if there’s a gap between cutting and planting an ideal branch. You can still cut the perfect branch when you see it. If you can’t get it in a pot or water right away, put it in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to finish the process, make a fresh cut.
Since the nature of the landscaping project can heavily influence the overall cost, it helps to understand what different types of landscaping projects cost on average. For example:
Late August, September, and mid-October are the ideal months for planting a young tree. However, the best time to plant a tree ultimately depends on when the weather transitions to fall-like conditions and eventually winter frost. As long as the hottest days of summer have passed and the ground hasn’t frozen yet, you can still successfully plant trees.
