Awesome job. The quote came in a lot more expensive than a competitor but "you get what you pay for" here. High end job! Complete crabgrass mess on front lawn was removed, artistic shaping of front shrubs completed, and seed/fertilizer mixture began to grow in less than a week. All neighbors were amazed and enjoyed the daily change from brown to....green! Doug and Jess showed up on time, worked hard, and were a pleasure to have on the property all day. They were knowledgeable about the plants and willing to explain how to water the new lawn. They weeded and mulched the yard as requested, a huge job. Whole experience was excellent. Would highly recommend.

R&S designed the gardens, pathways, stone-facing and stairs for our house in Glen Rock. They also did our on-going garden maintenance. The work was beautiful and professionally done. People walking or driving by the house often stopped to say that our garden was easily one of the most beautiful in town.

Julie, one of their landscaping professionals, initially came out and did a walk around with me. She was very knowledgeable, and gave me a quote of $45 a week for lawn maintenance. Although it was $10 more than my previous landscaper, I was willing to accept the price since they seemed very professional. I was looking for a landscaping company that paid attention to detail, and it seemed this was one of them. When I received the contract, the price for weekly maintenance was listed as $50 a week. I contacted her via email, and she said she was unable to honor the price she quoted because the "system" would not allow it. Although this left a bad taste in my mouth, I still decided to go with R&S, hoping their landscaping work was worth it. The first week they came out, I was introduced to a foreman, who explained the work they will be doing from week to week. The foreman stated he would be on the job from this point forward so that he can become familiar with the property. I remember thinking this was great, since most companies don't care, and just cut the lawn and move on. So the first month, the landscaping crew did a great job. However, about a month in, I noticed a new crew was coming, and I never saw the foreman again. The new crew told me the foreman I originally had was fired. Regardless, I figured the new crew would do just as good a job, but boy was I wrong. Over the course of the summer, I would see patches of my lawn torn up, and not small patches. One of those patches that was completely ripped up was approximately 3 feet by 3 feet in size. I emailed Julie about the lawn, and she informed me that she would address the issue. However, only two weeks later, the same crew did it again. Then in July of 2017, R&S came to prune the shrubs around the property. I had this beautiful Hemlock on my property that was a staple of the landscape for over 25 years (see picture attached, before and after). The shrub pruners that R&S sent stated they were only going to “trim” the shrubs. I walked around the property with them as they informed me what they were going to do. So I left for work, trusting they would follow through with what they said. However, when I returned, I saw that my Hemlock was completely cut 1/3 of the way up, like a lollipop. I don’t know what gave them the idea to do this, but my Hemlock will never grow back. The owner of the company, Bob, came out and apologized, but was reluctant to even discount the pruning, as if their mistake should still be billed accordingly. Now in November and December 2017, R&S stated they would be coming every other week for leaf removal and clean up. At the end of October, some leaves were already falling and I observed one of the workers blowing the leaves into a corner of a flowerbed at the rear of my property, rather than picking them up. When I confronted him about this, he stated the company told them to do so, since leaf cleaning doesn’t start until November. As he could see, I wasn’t happy. He then apologized and blew them back onto the lawn and picked them up. Once November and December came, R&S NEVER came every two weeks to pick up leaves. Many times it was at least 3-4 weeks, and my property was the only one on the block covered with leaves for the holidays, and eventually covered in snow as well. R&S also adds in a leaf removal fee, along with their weekly maintenance, which they DO NOT do in November and December. My grass has wilted for the winter, longer than it was during the summer. I am still being charged a “late fee” for a bill that was never sent with the proper readjustments that I was told. R&S Landscaping’s automated billing system continues to bill me a $3.80 late fee incorrectly. Anyone who wants to hire a landscaping company that does not keep their word, overcharges, and destroys your lawn and shrubs; this is the company for you. Otherwise I strongly recommend you stay away!

I purchased an Angie's deal for six hours of yard work. Several weeks later I realized I hadn't heard from them--not a call, email or message through Angie's List. I've had Angie's deals that didn't go as well as I wanted before, but I've never had a provider not even contact me. I was disappointed because I had a lot of work I wanted done, but other things in my life made it not worth chasing after them so I contacted Angie's List for a refund.

We sincerely apologize for the glitch that prevented us from being notified that the six gardening visit was purchased. We were not notified and unaware the client made the purchase and were never contacted. We wish the client would have reached out to our office via phone or email and we certainly would have scheduled the gardening visit.

At first they did an excellent job.... as the season progressed, the employees who cut the grass changed, and they did not use as much TLC. They tore up my grass is spots with the tires of the large lawn mower they use. And they dont bag the grass, unless you pay extra. To their credit, I complained about torn up spots, and they came to seed it and credited my account for one cut. Also, they pruned one of my hemlocks half way up so that it looks like a lollipop when the shrub was fine all the way to the ground and not in need of such a drastic change.

Badly. They added new steps and walkway to the front door for an additional 15,000--not something I asked for. There are many computer programs where, using a picture of your house, you can design a landscape and see what it will look like. This didn't give me any idea of what the landscape would look like. They are still selling this "service" through Angie's List.

We were quite surprised to have received this review for a design project that was prepared 3-2014 over 3 1/2 years ago. The client never communicated with us after the plan was presented and shared their thoughts or concerns. We certainly would have addressed their questions and prepared a revised plan. We have an excellent A rating on Angie's List and pride ourselves with exceeding client expectations.

I contacted R&S and made an appointment with Rob for an estimate. He arrived promptly and was courteous and professional. Upon review of the project I proposed, he told me that while feasible, he did not feel that it would be cost effective for us. He explained in detail what would be required and strongly advised that we not proceed with what we had in mind. Rob preferred to be straightforward with me instead of just going for the business. I was most impressed with his honesty and candor. Based on this experience, I would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody considering landscaping projects.

R&S Landscaping failed again and agin to get an employee to do the job, even though they had said, time and again, that they would. After more than a half dozen messages and more than a month, they were still making promises they were unable to deliver.

The client's initial request came into our office with an address that was located 98 miles away in Moorestown. This caused a delay in our responding as we needed to verify the address. The request for trimming work came into our office during our peak mid May period. This further delayed one of our gardeners from responding. This situation is not representative of our service and current A rating on Angie's List. We apologize for the service delay for shrub trimming.

Roy Targia Masonry

Roy got his start over 25 years ago as a member of the local Masons Union. He quickly rose through the ranks demonstrating his abilities as a craftsman as a masonry contractor. Although working in the Union was both rewarding and a decent living, Roy wanted to work on more creative projects. Such projects were not presented to him through his local union shop. Eventually his creative spirit won over his practical side, and he left the Union behind to strike out on his own as a small business owner. Roy and his clients quickly realized his ability as an old world mason with an eye for detail. Targia strives to attain old-world craftsmanship through the application of new-world methods, implementing both technology and technique to meet the client’s needs. In this, the foundation of our philosophy is born “The most important foundation we build is the relationships with our clients”. His ability to manage projects and to over deliver time and time again, is how Roy Targia Masonry and Custom Outdoor Living has been able to build a thriving masonry business in New Jersey. Masonry contractor New Jersey contact masonrybyroy.com. There is no job too big or too small for Targia’s team. Additional DBA - RoyTargiaMasonry.com.
