"I am amazed at the calibre of work Cambridge Landscapes did on my back yard. This included a retaining/sitting wall, a fire pit area and a long walkway and patio around the side of our house. Using only the finest materials, and professional, experienced installers, I watched as my sad back yard became an oasis! Many thanks to Scott, Katie and Miguel for their insights and for shepherding this project from the beginning to its completion. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"I contacted Robert S. to discuss a water leak from our master bath through our kitchen ceiling, which we have been dealing with for about 3 years in our 5 year old new construction home. He patiently listened to the history of this leak issue and how we have had the shower caulked multiple times and the caulk continually cracks. We were resigned to the idea that we would need to tear out our entire shower to fix this. Robert was at our house with his plumber within days, diagnosed the issue which did not entail ripping out the shower. We will be replacing our shower doors which were improperly installed by the builder and Robert will be repairing our water damaged ceiling. Robert and his team are reputable and honest contractors and we highly recommend them for any home repairs or home improvement projects. We will definitely hire Kaash Construction again for home improvement projects and repairs."

"RECOMMENDATION of Garden Artisans We contacted Garden Artisans and several landscape companies near Princeton for consultation regarding replacement of aged rhododendrons, azaleas and evergreen shrubs damaged by wet and heavy snows in recent years. Garden Artisans was the first to reply to our inquiries and immediately scheduled a Saturday survey and consultation. Peter Jamet, the owner, came and discussed our objectives, and budget. We have a colonial home sited on a corner lot on 3 acres with old growth hardwoods in Princeton. As we don������������t have deer fencing and do have deer, we wanted deer-proof landscaping and natural looking plantings. Within a week of the consultation Peter was ready to make a present his design proposal. He brought scales drawings of the plantings across the front and side of our house and a bed near the driveway entrance surrounding our carriage lamppost and mailbox. Together with the drawings he had photos of every tree species, shrub, flower and grass proposed for the plantings. He described why he had chosen them. Part of his plan of scale and distribution was to create color throughout the seasons and evergreen color sustained throughout the year with certain elements of the planting. He has tailored the cost to our budget and offered both upgrade options and cost saving options for each of the specimen trees. He recommended the ideal time for planting so as to get the plantings successfully established before the winter. We set a date and Peter with his crew came and prepared the plot exactly as scheduled. Two weeks before the planting he provided photos of the exact specimen trees and shrubs to be installed. Once the beds were prepared Peter again came to position the specimens personally and ask our review and approval before actually putting the plants in the ground. Immediately after the planting we were taking a three week holiday and Peter provided attending and watering to ensure the health our new landscaping. He again came, unprompted and reviewed all the shrubs six weeks after planting. The plantings are now ten weeks in the ground and every plant is in excellent condition. We are extremely pleased with the design and selected species. It has been a pleasure working with Garden Artisans. The work was done exactly on schedule and was professional and very careful in removing old shrubbery and cleaning up and reseeding areas not to be replanted. The entire job was done within our budget in a very artfully conceived, professional and carefully planned manner. We have owned several homes and done projects of this scale but have never had this level of precision and care in the design, selection of specimens, planting and after-care. In other projects we have experienced a number of trees and shrubs dying within weeks of the planting and have had to pay to replace them. Garden Artisans insured our planting and, knock knock, until today we have no casualties in"

"Jeff was an hour late to our scheduled first meeting in Feb. I wanted to have some lighting installed for the patio, and I had already begun getting estimates from electricians. He said that he could save us time, money, and frustration if we allowed him to install low-voltage lighting. “Just buy me what I need and I’ll put it in for you.” I decided to design the patio myself. I emailed the scaled computer design drawing to Jeff. He wrote back that “it might be best you get a landscaper to draw out your envisioned plan so we all could be on the same page.” I e-mailed him my design again and explained what he was looking at. He wrote back, “I want to clarify that a landscaper architect could have a better imagine in that aspect.” After a telephone conversation with Jeff, he revealed that he had not thoroughly read my e-mails nor looked at the design. An enduring issue was not returning phone calls, e-mails, or text messages, or simply not reading them at all. I finalized the design, I e-mailed it to Jeff and he said that he would be at our home that evening to discuss the design. He arrived 90 min late and without having looked at the design. He came in with the lowest price and took the time to work with us to make sure that we could afford the things we wanted. When he came to our home to present us with the contract, Jeff admitted that he’d never actually read his own contract and that it was something which was printed off the internet. These things set off alarms, but we just asked him to fix the errors in the contract. We signed and emailed the contract on 4/24. We asked when work would begin. “The last week in May or the 1st week in June.” How long until the work is completed? “About 2 to 3 weeks depending on the weather.” The project was not completed until about 9/5, 4-1/2 months later. He implied that he would be going to my township on 6/8 to discuss permits. On 6/20 I got a text from him saying that he had been to the township and that he was filling out permits. It was 2 months without any progress being made. During this time several texts and phone calls went unanswered. In the 3rd week of June he called to tell me that he would be at our house the following morning around 8. He didn’t show up. That night around 8 PM he showed up to our home with one of his workers. They worked for hours into the night and left some time after my wife and I had gone to sleep. The front walk was only partially taken up when I checked the following morning. Another issue was irregular work hours. Often they would arrive late in the afternoon or evening and work into the night, using their car headlights for light. The running engines and lights on my quiet suburban block was not pleasant for my neighbors, and they expressed as much to me. Over the next days they finished ripping up my front walk. Over the next week there was no progress, no phone calls, no texts. On 6/27 I texted him to ask when he would be returning to complete the work. My wife and I went away for July 4 weekend and he worked while we were away. By the time we came home the front walk had been completed and he took the liberty of redoing the step which leads into our home. It came out nicely. However it did come out uneven and had to be fixed. There was a paver stone which was supposed to be left loose so that we could access a drain cleanout underneath so he had to fix that too. On 7/28 our zoning permit for the back patio was ready. No progress had been made after the front walk. On the 29th he texted me to ask, “Do you mind if I start dropping my equipment today”. I came home late to find that they had parked a trailer on my front lawn and in the process they drove over several of my solar path lights completely destroying them. Jeff told me that he would replace them. He never did. For 2 days their equipment sat. On 7/31 he sent me a text verifying our color choices which I had previously e-mailed him. His workers came and began ripping up our old patio. They were very nice non-English speaking men. It was difficult for us because I wanted to ask about timeline and progress, but there was a language barrier. Jeff had said something to the effect of that he would always be doing the work himself. I’d say that he was only on site for about 50% of the work. Jeff amended the contract to include no deposit, a 50% progress payment, and then 50% upon completion. I had told him that whenever he wanted his progress payment he needed to give me 4 days before I could write him a check, because our savings account and our checking accounts are at different banks and we needed time for the transfer. About 8/3 Jeff asked for his first progress payment. He asked for more than what the contract stated. I agreed. I reminded him that I needed a few days before I could hand him the check and he seemed to be annoyed by the delay. On 8/8 Jeff cashed my check and texted me, “I lost all my info when I got my new phone can you please send me over the color choices again.” I did. A few days later he arrived at my home with a truck-load of the wrong color paver stones. The incorrect stones were left on my front lawn for about a week until his supplier came with the correct stones on 8/19. On the morning of 8/21 he sent me a text message, “Just want to keep you updated grabbing the machine and tools from the other job site be there shortly”. He never showed up. I asked him, “What happened today?” He replied, “I have no f***ing clue.” One of my in-ground lawn sprinklers got buried which caused a mud pit in that area. 3 light fixtures were cracked at the base by his workers during installation. There was a voltage drop problem with the lighting; he had to rip up a paver stone in the back patio in order to fix it. There is construction adhesive which oozed from the seams in the stones of our fire pit. The wiring for our accent lights was not dressed properly, it was plainly visible on top of the soil in the boxes. The wiring on the front patio was done in the same fashion, as well as the main line being strewn on my front lawn. The black housing of 2 accent lights was marked in red and holes were drilled through them. My lawn has been reduced to patches of dirt in the places where their equipment was parked for weeks at a time. Jeff didn’t build the mailbox I asked for. I asked for one slanted piece of bluestone at the top. Instead he built it with two pieces coming to a point. He said, “It wouldn’t have looked this nice if I did it the other way.” The bluestone caps are two different thicknesses and their faces of them are stained. We purchased an address plaque and the paint was stripped off a bit. The new mailbox itself was mangled with scratches on the face and the inside looked like it had been mashed in. First he put the mailbox flag in one place at the apex of the roof, which looked ridiculous, and then he put it on the side of the stones using screws which have since rusted. The screws holding the address plaque and the accent lights are stripped and not sunk in. On 8/30 he asked me to leave him a check for the final payment. I said that things weren’t finished or done to my satisfaction. He replied, “I [need] a check”. I said there were things that still needed to be addressed. On 9/2 I received an e-mail which explained that the lights and electrical wire “are not in your contract” and “it is typically the homeowners responsibility to provide an electrician for this type of work”. (Exactly why I wanted to hire an electrician in the first place.) They continued in the e-mail from 3:28 PM, “As far as completing additional items that are not in the contract, before Jeff receives final payment will be a breach of contract. Jeff will need to collect your final payment today no later than 5 PM.” When I got home I replied in part, “As you've already alluded to, I paid Jeff (at his request) $13K as the initial payment. This is not the black letter of the contract. My point being -- the contract seems to only apply when you want it to.” I went into detail about how I wanted to hire an electrician at first but was talked"
