I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Anthony, the main contact, is not only one of the nicest guys, but he keeps in touch, is on time, always available and then delivered on everything he said he would do and when it would get done. After meeting him, I didn’t even seek any other bids. He made me so comfortable with the process, that I was confident I found the right guys for the job. When I hire someone, I don’t want headaches, I don’t want to track people down, I don’t want missing crews, or excuses. I expect to pay a fair price for a fair job. Well, with Griffin’s and Anthony, I paid a fair price for a job done faster than expected, better than expected, communicated more thoroughly than expected, and we couldn’t be happier. Call them and sit back without worry or problems, while the job gets done expertly, and I know you will feel the same.

Fantastic! Griffin is affordable, fast, and very tidy. Anthony was my contact and he followed up with me and stayed in touch during and after the job. He found an odd bit of hard-to-find picket fence left over from another client, which I needed in addition to the chain link fence. It's nice to know your landscape company keeps an eye out for things you need, even when they're not on your property.

We've had a wonderful experience working with them on various projects these last two years. We called Glenn to give us an estimate for a retaining wall replacement. He provided a quote for the job, but Glenn also offered advice for alternative options. We went with his vision to tear the wall down and simply regrade the slope and install a new lawn in it's place (where various brush/shrubs and pachysandra previously thrived). The difference is like night and day and we couldn't be happier, thanks to Glenn's vision. Not only was his recommendation a far better option, but he also saved us some money by taking his advice. Glenn and his men are easy to work with, and they take pride in their work. They don't leave until the job is done. We had the same experience last year when they built a beautiful foundation garden in front of the house. Once again, Glenn had the know-how and expertise to design and plan and offer his recommendations. He's professional and as honest as they come. We look forward to working with him again next year when we redo our driveway!

Very well. Glenn reviewed our yard within hours of my requesting a proposal and within a week we agreed on a price and his group completed the work. He listened to our comments and preferences and made great suggestions. His group worked efficiently and were easy to work with while they completed the plantings. They also did a good job cleaning up when finished.

We are extremely happy with Griffin Landscaping. Our patio and fireplace area look so much better than I had hoped for. Glenn and his crew did a fantastic job. We had interviewed multiple landscapers and Glenn was the only one who came up with a great plan from our the first meeting. He came out several times after to refine the plan with us before his crew began and even during the work his guys worked with me to make adjustments when things didn’t look right to me. I highly recommend Griffin’s Landscaping and will use them for other projects in the future. Thank you for our beautiful backyard!

Glenn Griffin and his team were outstanding. We had three sides of our house that needed landscaping. Glenn walked through the property with us and helped creatively design a layout. Since he owns Hilltop nursery he then walked us around and showed the plants and perennials to confirm what we liked. On the install date his crew showed up early with two trucks filled with plants and mulch and stone. Glenn was on-site directing them. In one long day they accomplished an amazing amount of work and completed the job. It’s great working with a group that owns a nursery because they brought extra plants and it was easy to pick and choose and change our minds through the process. The guys were all friendly and easy to work with. Glenn really takes pride in his work, loves the art of landscaping and has no ego about our changes and requests. We highly recommend them!

We had a recently renovated pool in our backyard and needed fence work and landscaping. Most companies have us. Long lag time to get this accomplished but griffins couldn’t have been quicker and more accommodating to our needs. The work quality was outstanding and done so quickly. Amazing communication with the person in Charge. We would use them again no questions asked.

Avoid Griffin's Landscaping. I paid more and got less than we had agreed on in writing. I later discovered that much of the work was done improperly. The main work item was a 4-foot-high retaining wall of mortared stone. Glen Griffin's proposal gave a fixed price for it (not a price per foot). Without consulting me, Griffin added $1,125 to the final bill, claiming that the wall turned out higher than he expected. During later excavation on my property, I found that the wall lacks the required concrete footing and the base is only a few inches below grade (see the photo here). There is also no gravel backfill behind the wall for drainage. These defects mean that the wall is prone to premature failure. The work plan also specified a "curtain drain" (a buried, perforated pipe surrounded with gravel) along one side of the house. I wasn't around when the workers installed it. Later, when digging in that area, I discovered that they had simply buried a solid pipe. During the project, I asked Griffin what he'd charge to prune branches on a large maple tree. He said he'd get back to me with the price. It seemed odd that he wouldn't say on the spot. The next thing I knew, the work was done, and there was a steep charge for it on my bill. When I first interviewed Griffin, he told me he had built the house's existing walkway for the previous owner. Later I took up some of the pavers and found that they were resting on dirt. The normal layers of paver base and bedding sand are missing.

Friday came around and no one had called or stopped by, so I called again to confirm. I was assured that I was on their schedule to have my lawn mowed by the end of the day. No one ever showed up. This is now the second time this company has done this to me! Each time I called, I spoke to the same person.

We hired Griffin’s Landscaping/Griffin’s Organics over 10 years ago to handle our lawn cutting, and because of our satisfaction with the high quality of their service and reliability, we gradually added more services over time including lawn refurbishment and reseeding, tree take-downs and shrub pruning, shrub/tree spraying, gutter cleaning, snow plowing, and most recently a masonry project designed by Mr. Griffin: a retaining wall crafted of New York and Connecticut field stone, field stone/blue stone- capped front steps, and a full color blue stone landing. On this project the masons worked tirelessly and skillfully, and the end result is a perfect complement to our home, beautiful as well as functional. My husband and I stare in astonishment every time we enter and exit our house now as the masonry work is so lovely, and I know from my prior research on projects similar to this one as well as my observation of the work in process that the preparation and construction were meticuously carried out. We have had nothing but positive experiences with Griffin’s over the years. They have always been easy to communicate with and have consistently listened to and acted upon our comments and requests. Our crews have been skillful and personable, and they clearly take pride in their work. Griffin's has earned our highest recommendation.

I used to use Griffin's for lawn care, snow removal, and they re-paved my driveway and added a new parking area. First to the landscaping. Not bad and they did show up weekly, however they took little care in what they did. In fact they cut my dog line 3 times. As for the snow removal, you are serviced after the commercial accounts and I also had them do shoveling of the stairs. On several occasions, I was charged for the shoveling when none was actually done. You need to watch them when they actually get there. My main complaint has to do with my driveway. Glenn Griffin sold me on re-paving the upper portion of my driveway. Less than 6 months later, the driveway was sinking. Glenn claimed that I had excessive water underground and sold me on a whole underground water piping system that he guaranteed would solve the problem. We also added a lower parking area. Within 4 months, this driveway was sinking again and the lower portion they installed is crumbling. We are now $15,000.00 into this driveway that is worse than ever. I had my oil delivery which has been done for years and Glenn went so far as to blame my driveway on the oil truck. He looked for any excuse not to stand behind his work. The lower driveway is completely crumbled as well. Now I believe Griffin's does not actually do driveway work, but sub contracts to another company and just takes something off the top but my receipt is what Glenn Griffin. My driveway is an utter mess and I cannot afford to repair it. I would not recommend Griffin's Landscape to anyone as they totally ripped me off and did not stand behind their work.

The team working on my property was very professional and work diligently for the entire time they were here. Towards the end of the project we had some very strong thunder storms. The runoff from these storms affected the grading because the grass had not come in. It also indicated that some minor changes needed to be done to the design. Griffins came in and repaired the run off damage and made the necessary changes at minimal cost ($500). There were some other minor difficulties, with a subcontractor that Griffins had hired. They got the subcontractor to redo the work at no cost additional cost. The workers were here every day for about 2./5 months and only as needed after that. We communicated via e-mail, phone, and face-t-face. There were occasional miss communications, but all of these were cleared up promptly to my satisfaction without affecting the work.
Description of Work
This project started in June of last year and finished up in September. IT Was NOT a one day project. My property has 5 rock retaining walls. When the house was originally built, the builder constructed all of these as loose rock walls, no mortar or cement holding the walls. That was 16 years ago. During the winter of 2010-2011 it became apparent that two of the walls were in immanent danger of collapse. I had been planning on redoing all the walls so I had a previous estimate from griffins. I contacted Griffins again and some other companies. Griffins did the work to replace the two walls for the original estimate (which was the lowest estimate I received). This work involved removing the old walls, digging proper footings (backhoe required at times), and reconstructing the wall from the footings up. The new walls were made of rock and cement. Some of the old rock was reused and some new rock was brought in. The long wall was around 100 feet long and was between 1 foot and four foot in height (footer to top), it ran uphill and then made a very sharp angle (less than 45 degree angle) along a sidewalk. On this wall only about 6 inches to approximately 3 feet is above grade on one side. The short wall was about 75 feet long and varied in height from 6 feet to 4 feet (footer to top), although only 3-4 feet was above grade on one side for the wall. The parts of the walls that were below grade on both sides were stone and cement. The parts of the wall that are above grade on one side and the top are smooth. There is no cement or mortar showing on the face of the walls, just on the top. In addition to this I had some landscaping done and a new wall build for a ramp between two levels of my property. Each of the wall had french drains behind them. On one wall the drain was tied into existing drainage pipe that runs to a catch basis. For this wall there are no weep holes. For the wall along my driveway there are weep holes. Finally the work was graded to control run off from the hill behind my home. There was some minor electrical work that had to be coordinated with the reconstruction of one wall. This was done without difficulty and without delaying either project. On one of the walls a drainage pipe was put in place which will be used when the other (nearby) walls are reconstructed.

We first hired Glenn Griffin to do some driveway work several years ago since we had just moved into the house and the upper portion of the driveway was sunken and cracking. All went well until the following winter when the driveway had sunk again. Glenn tells me that we have serious drainage issues under the driveway and we need special drainage piping installed to make sure this does not happen again. Fast forward to Summer of 2008 and we have the driveway dug up, piping installed, and an additional area of our lawn converted to blacktop for additional parking. December, 2008 I call Glenn (owner of Griffin's Landscaping) and tell him that the driveway has once again sagged and there is a huge sink hole. In fact, the entire area he worked on is all sunken and no longer flat. His response was to blame the oil tanker that comes up my driveway to fill my oil tank. He refused to do anything. He took absolutely no responsibility whatsoever. The lower portion of the driveway was also breaking apart due to poor workmanship. It's all crumbled but the upper portion is almost unusable. Glenn chose to no longer accept my phone calls and refused to fix the problem. My wife actually fell in the hole last winter but fortunately, she was alright. At the time, we were also using Griffin Organics for out lawn work and I immediately stopped using them. Not to mention they were not that good to begin with, and kept cutting my dog line with their equipment. We also used them that winter for snow removal but kept getting charged for shoveling when none was actually done. The only thing they did correctly was plant a tree and fortunately, the tree is doing well. Please understand that this is not a personal vendetta against Glenn Griffin, just an accurate account of my experience with Griffin's Landscaping.
