Description of Work: Russell put in a bed of myrtle for me. The plants were healthy, the job done professional, and the clean-up after the job thorough! I would use this landscaping services again for sure.

Yes, they have done a good job every time. Replaced my front lawn in fall of 2014 and maintain if for me. They do not ride over it with a huge riding mower; rather they cut it with a modest sized electric mower and keep the height at a good length. My neighbors are always asking, "Who put in your new lawn and who takes care of it?"

I had high hopes for Russ, he showed up looked like the real deal and spoke like he knew his stuff. He was the opposite of a couple mexicans with a pickup, he looked a few notches above that, which is exactly what I was looking for. But what happened was: He contacted me, everything was sounding great, he came to give me my estimate, we spoke about what could & would be done. It seemed like we hit it off and he gave me confidence. But's that's when things went down hill. He adamantly said that he'd get a quote over to me in 1 business day. But it was only after chasing him down for 2 weeks (with more promises in the middle) that I finally got a phone call from him that wasn't my quote, but said he just didn't want to do the job. He made it sound as if what he came to see, quote, and agree upon with me, was now somehow beneath him. Mind you the whole time I'm waiting to get my yard back, waiting to open my pool, thinking I can depend on the guy, all in the MIDDLE OF SUMMER, where he kept leading me on- only to leave me hanging without so much as a courtesy call, instead. Bottom Line: If the job isn't for you- Fine, there's nothing wrong with that. He said he's a landscaper, not a weed puller, which is totally fine and even understandable in some regards. But don't lead me on and tell me you're working on it, make me waste time, and not give me so much a courtesy call without having to chase you down for an answer. A simple "Hey, I'm not going to be able to do your job" would have done it. Or better yet, maybe know the job's not for you while you're there on site, looking at it first hand, and don't lead your customer on to begin with. Maybe Russ is the greatest landscaper around, but neither I nor anyone I know will ever find out because of the run around business.
Description of Work: A yard clean up. Come in, remove a dead arb, spray down crab grass, and remove lots of weed overgrowth.

We moved in towards the end of the season and with no lawn equipment or experience, so we were very happy to have Russ. He came every 10 days or so to mow the lawn, clean up debris, rake and remove leaves from our lawn from October - December. Work was great, price was fair and always professional, we'll certainly use him again.
Description of Work: Fall leaf and lawn cleanup, debris removal, mowing.

Quote was never received. Instead, a handwritten note from another landscaper had been left stating that the owner could not fit vehicle down my narrow, dead-end street. That's understandable but the owner did not bother to inform me and left it to the referred landscaper. I called that landscaper and my message was not returned.
Description of Work: Owner returned my call and was told that he would drop by the next day with a quote. Quote never received.

Russ is great, he is friendly and always does a very professional job. He always makes sure the customer is happy and satisfied. I have known him for over 8 years and he is consistent with his services and keeps all of his customers happy all summer long!
Description of Work: Russ does my spring and winter yard clean ups. We normally cut our own lawn, but sometimes I will ask him cut my lawn when he is on the street. He never complains or says no.

I would recommend Russ to lay sod if you're interested in doing that. His team are nice, professional and efficient. I wouldn't use him to do any upkeep on your lawn fertilization, however. Wish Russ would respond more promptly. Feel bad about writing this review but it is what it is.
Description of Work: We had Russ lay sod for the front and backyard of our home in the fall of 2011. We were please with his work in this regard. We had asked Russ to provide us with the service of fertilizing our lawn and making sure it was done on the proper schedule. We also have a sprinkler system that we had installed to make sure the grass was throughly watered during the summer. My brother-in-law happened to point out that it looked as though we were developing mold on the front lawn....small, brown patches in various areas. We called Russ and asked him to come over and check it out. Russ is a very nice guy. Unfortunately, when we caledl him and asked him to check out the problem with the lawn, he gave us a day when he would come but he never showed up. He would usually come apprx. 5 or more days later. This happened a couple of times. One time we had called him and just on a fluke we happened to pass him while he was doing work on a neighbor's lawn down the street. I think he was surprised to see us. He told us at that time he was going to come and stop by our house when he was finished with this property. Russ looked at the lawn and said he would put fertilizer down. My husband asked him if he could place us on a schedule of doing the necessary fertilizing for our lawn so we could keep it in tip-top shape. Russ never came and did the fertiliizing and we eventually developed a very bad mold/fungus problem, sad to say. When he came back and looked at the lawn he said he wasn't sure what the problem was and he would have another individual look at it and check it out. Some one came and put something down on the lawn a few days later. We had to call him again and ask him what they put on the lawn. No one told us what it was. Thankfully, Russ never billed us for this treatment. Where we once had a beautiful lawn, now there are bare spots throughout. We told Russ apprx. two weeks ago that we may need a few pieces of sod to replace the areas where the lawn has gone bad and he said he would come and check out the lawn. To date, 10/22/12, we still haven't seen Russ. Nice guy but must be very busy.

Russ did our lawn for about 14-15 years--- always did a fine job......if one of his men accidentally broke a pot or whatever, Russ always apologized and repaid me promptly for the item....Over 15 years Russ and his crew did an excellent job and if I hadn't moved, he still would be my lawn service person. I highly recommend Russ.

He's done it for 20-30 years and he's very good. He is a very nice guy and he is very reliable. His people sometime trim a little more off the trees than the tree would like. I guess that is called collateral damage. He's good and my wife says the price is fair. He comes every week. He does the spring and fall cleanup. We don't even have to call him. If there has been a storm, suddenly someone shows up. He does the lime and insect protection. I'm allergic to grass and I stay away from it and my wife takes care of dealing with them. They have good people. We used him at our old house and then continued at this house. We are on an hill and they do it all.

Russ is always very responsive and does really good work....occasionally you need to talk to him about what you want done or how to do it if you have special circumstances (we did), but overall he is excellent and I recommend him to anyone asking about yard work in the Montclair,Bloomfield, Glen Ridge, Verona, Caldwell, NJ areas.
Description of Work: Spring clean up -- well done.

The hedge trimming was a big job and Russ honored the original estimate even though the job turned out to be harder than expected. The hedges are very tall and the tops could have been done more neatly, but I was satisfied with the overall execution of the job and the professionalism shown.
Description of Work: They trimmed the hedges and did spring cleaning of our landscaped property. I had retained them to mow the grass along the sidewalk throughout the summer.
