"We hired Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC to install pavers at our home in May. The work has NOT been completed as of today July 16th. It was to be a 1 week, 5 day job with a promise to come everyday until the work was completed. That 1st week on the 2nd day Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC did NOT show up. He said he was getting supplies for the project. He has a multi person team so while he was purchasing supplies, his team should have been demolishing the old pavers/deck . No one came that day thus pushing the projects completion avoidably back. Some of the ensuing delays and complications, were due to issues with our homeowners association. Throughout this process, dealing with the HOA, Justin remained professional and did his best to resolve the HOA’s demands in our favor. He was unsuccessful. The project is still not completed. Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC had advised us to use permeable pavers, with appropriate spacing & grout between the pavers, to allow the shower to drain. Unfortunately, this “system” he recommended & installed does NOT allow the water to drain. It floods the pavers creating puddles & may take anywhere from 12-24 hours to dissipate! Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC now says we need to install a drain which was never offered as an option. We are far from experts but had we been offered the choice between a system that may be effective, the permeable pavers & one that is a sure thing, a drain, we obviously would have elected the sure thing. We relied on Justin’s Wright JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC expertise which as outlined proved not to function. Upon reporting this dilemna to Justin Wright /JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC he recommended he install a drain, but of course now wishes to add on another charge! The second problem we are experiencing as a result of Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC “subpar” ( the words of our HOA) work is a street repair, which proved necessary after the pavers were laid . Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC elected to use a cold patch, not asphalt as previously was in place. After the cold patch was installed, the HOA & I inspected the cold patch repair. The HOA deemed the work subpar, contacted an outside contractor to repair the cold patch with asphalt & expected us to pay for the repair. Fortunately, we were able to get a reprieve from the HOA with Justin Wright /JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC promising to repair the cold patch. The cold patch was repaired on approximately June 16th but has still not cured. When I informed Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC on July 6th that the cold patch still had not cured , was fragile & soft , he texted me “impossible”. I am concerned that the HOA will still find the work subpar, putting me at risk for a reprimand, fine &/or another costly expense to fix the street where the cold patch has not performed as required. Subsequently, I requested a meeting at our property to demonstrate the failings of the shower & cold patch. I had previously asked that he come by the property anytime, even if we’re not there, to assess the situation . This did NOT occur. I texted him this past Friday July 11, with no response. I again texted him on July 13. He now states that the cold patch needs time to cure. This after telling us, as mentioned above, it was “impossible” that the cold patch hadn’t cured. On Sunday July 13th, he recommended we talk tomorow. He NEVER called. I texted him that evening reminding him that he neglected to call. At 11:58 pm he texted “call tomorrow”. I NEVER heard back from him & waited until Wednesday evening when I again reminded him that he did not call as he stated he would do. He again did NOT call despite asking what his plan was. This morning I provided a brief synopsis of this review to Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC. He answered within 1 minute!!!! He said he would call & we should be available at 10 am. I have been waiting for the call as requested & it is now 2:05pm & he has NOT called. Accordingly I will have to wash my hands of Justin Wright /JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC & chalk up my experience to a dishonest, unreliable contractor who tells you what he thinks you want to hear. At this point we are left with a shower that doesn’t drain, a large area cold patch (one foot by twenty feet -1’ by 20’ ) that is soft, fragile & uncured as well as an HOA that is unhappy (potentially causing us additional hardships). To resolve these issues it wil require additional funds. We are now at the point wher we will have to consider legal remedies. This review is intended to help future customers in choosing a paving contractor. We wish we had read a review such as ours, so that we could have avoided all of these frustrations & costs. At least you will be able to avoid these pitfalls by NOT choosing Justin Wright/JMW CONSTRUCTION LLC to work on your property. Videos/photos of the flooding shower & still soft cold patch will be posted on Youtube & are also available upon requst."

"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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"We have been using Evergreen Landscape for our condo landscape upkeep as well as them helping us to adhere to storm basin regulations. They have also given us innovative and creative ideas on landscaping ideas and maintenance. They have been extremely responsive and knowledgeable and their pricing model is very fair. We have also have them complete our winter maintenance of snow and ice. We would fully recommend them to any business or individual."

"Raul and his team did an excellent job! They removed old shrubs and debris, cleaned , defined, and mulched bed. In addition, they installed drainage with a pop up, and reseeded areas of our lawn. They are prompt, professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend R.L Landscaping."

"They did the work, but then didn't come back to fix a problem (they wired a zone incorrectly). I texted multiple times, but no response. Don't use them."

"Excellent My pond has not been running this well for years Very professional and understanding"

"We reached out to The Sprinkler Company after we had some major landscaping done at our home. Unfortunately, the tree and shrub removal, drainage, & new plantings damaged our irrigation system. We scheduled an appointment and Chuck came out to assess the system, however the damage was significant and nothing was working. He recommended scheduling a service call with a technician who could repair the damage and see what was viable/not viable. Within a week they were back to fix some cut wires and broken pipes. Afterwards, Chuck was able to give us a proposal for reconfigure the system to accommodate the new landscape layout. He put the repair cost as a deposit towards the new work we're getting done, which saved us a few hundred dollars! Very pleased and can't wait for the system to be refurbished in the spring."

"Jason was very professional, he showed up on time and was very receptive to all the things I needed accomplished and the time I had to do it. He assisted with lifting my furniture and moving it to my new home. He ensured all properties were delivered safely"
