We called 4 different contractors, John from Don Green's Dirt Service was the only one that called us back. He came out within the week and gave us a quote. It took time trying to discuss with 10 people. John stopped out for a second time and gave us 3 different options as price was a concern. Once we all agreed on price/work, John and his team were able to come out the next week and complete work. A few of us watched the whole process. You could tell how efficient they were as doing this many times. Work was completed in 1 day and for quote amount. There was extra gravel used but John did not charge us any extra. The road looks great and concerns were fixed. John and his team took the time to walk us thru the project and inspect before payment. They did such a great job on this we are having them back in the spring to clear part of our land.

"I had thought of attempting the work myself, but realized that Tom, a problem solver, had completed a better job than I could have managed. I have used Cady Handyman Services several times in the past, and would use them again.

"The workers on site were wonderful -- we were very happy with the work as it was being performed, and they were very careful with surrounding area (drive, sidewalk, lawn) and did an excellent job overall. They were friendly and very respectful of us and our home/yard - a joy to have around.
My dissatisfaction was with the level of responsiveness I received from the owner after accepting his bid and sending a deposit check in (up until the deposit was sent, he was very quick to give a bid, explain the process, and return calls to answer questions).
After being told that the landscape crew was "a few weeks out" it took about 6 weeks for the job to happen, and that was after several calls to the owner to get an update on status. I understand that other projects ahead of mine may fall behind schedule or go beyond scope, however I was never updated on timing at all and was left wondering if he even received the paperwork with the deposit check. The only proactive note I received from him was the email on Friday at 5p indicating that the crew can start Monday morning, and 'will someone be there that morning'.
Upon project completion, my husband inadvertently gave payment in full, per the invoice, to the lead worker at the site (not factoring in the deposit check I sent in 6 weeks earlier to secure the bid). After immediately contacting the owner to let him know about the mistake, I asked him not to cash the check. I received no reply, and 3 weeks later the check was cashed. Now I need to go thru the hassle of trying to get that deposit money refunded. While the work performed was wonderful, the business management and
customer service leaves a lot to be desired.

"We had purchased a big deal for the service, and they were very good. They were friendly, timely, and he was a nice man to work with. I had them do some trim work around flowerbeds, and they charged me extra for that. He was very quick in his response, and everything was very timely. I was very pleased all around. The one draw back was that he was really good at holding the arrangement, but I was outside his area, and he still honored. It would be nice if that would be made much clearer as to what areas they service."

"We are happy to day we have finally found a landscape contractor we can rely on and does exceptional work. We had several phases of work performed by them. Tony Cordes and Lasting Impressions Landscape restored our faith in landscape contractors. The water feature design and end result are absolutely gorgeous. The retaining walls and walk ways not only added function and beauty but enhanced the value of our property. In addition to all the hardscape services Tony and his company also provided erosion and water control. Installing several lines of drain tile and reshaping our side yard as to cure water intrusion issues. 
We had specific desires and needs - Tony Cordes not only listened to these but took them to another level. His crew was professional and respectful of our property. We had several estimates done - we found them to be in the average range - however the attention,  execution & creativity made this the best value by a mile. While constructing our pond (approx 15x22 and 5 feet deep) Tony treated every stone and curve as it were a painting. The end result exceeded our already high expectations. We were having an addition done soon after we started some of our landscaping - Tony worked seamlessly with our general contractor and was another reason we had him back for the final phase of yard work after our addition was complete.
If mother nature ever stops this winter - we will take some photos and post - they are gorgeous.  It is always fun to see neighbors and friends as they see the yard for the first time - eyes pop wide open - just another validation to us that we made the right choice for a landscape contractor.
So in summary if you are you tired of inconsistent and undependable landscape contractors and are looking for a contractor that has vision, creativity, listens to his clients needs, someone that can execute and deliver and go that extra mile for their client you will find it at Lasting Impressions. If you are searching for a landscape contractor that delivers highest level quality of service at (what I feel are) average prices -  we confidently recommend Lasting Impressions and Tony Cordes.

"We had been with Advantage Lawn Care for three years and were extremely satisfyied with his work but when I contacted him this evening to ask when he was going to start service he apologized and said was no longer coming to this area. A simple phone call to let us know would have been greatly appreciated, especially this late in the season.

As the owner I have been debating on starting a construction company or not for many years. I have over 15 years experience on construction and a vision to complete projects. I grew up in the construction field with my grandpa owning his own construction company learning the tricks of the trades from him to owning my own Landscape business that I sold a few years ago. ( which was a Angie's list award wining company.) I am excited to get into building homes and remodeling homes to peoples dream we will work with any budget and help you get to your dreams as quick as we can. You will barely find some one so up front and honest about your project.

Land Clearing Services questions, answered by experts

Building a road on a slope requires careful planning and will normally require a drainage system underneath to prevent flooding and damage to the road over time. Your professional may lengthen your road to create switchbacks if the slope directly to your home is too steep, as there are regulations for maximum road slope. The drainage system will help prevent runoff from the higher side of the slope from damaging the asphalt or concrete. Keep in mind that building a road on a slope isn’t a good DIY project, as a lot can go wrong.
