Great. Bryan did a good job freshening the yard up. He's also good about checking in with the customer's opinion.

Bryan and his crew are FANTASTIC!!! You can't go wrong hiring Christman Landscaping for ANY of your landscaping needs...we've had them mow, mulch, replace plants, landscape design, fall cleanup, spring cleanup, take trees down...they are fabulous, honest, reasonable in price and all-around a terrific company! (In fact, we were quite sorry that he no longer does snow-plowing...he was the best we ever had, and we have been trying ever since to find anyone even half as good!) We can't say enough great things about Bryan Christman and his company. You won't be sorry if you hire them for anything at all to do with landscaping!

Bryan Christman is knowledgeable and extremely helpful with prioritizing work. Last year our plantings were in poor repair and required a great deal of attention, pruning, fertilizing, etc.
All salvageable plantings were cut back. Those plants that required removal were replaced by carefully chosen, high quality plants. These plants flourished over the summer. In the Autumn, the plantings were pruned and readied for Winter and the following Spring.
This year, last year's efforts were clearly apparent.
We are extremely happy with the overall quality of the work performed by Bryan Christman and his assistant(s).

I have known Bryan Christman for many years, and have used no one else. He and his crew are very professional and unlike many landscape people he knows about trees and shrubs. So he knows what is a weed, when and how to prune trees and shrubs, and what to remove if necessary.

Bryan Christman, whose company is very close to my home, came over for a bid within hours of my initial contact. Within a few days he was at work removing the weeds/creeping grass from the beds and the following week completed the work with a few coworkers. He was very professional and congenial/easy going. He guided me to using a quality organic mulch (same price as the painted wood kind) that would enrich the soil. He was very careful not to cut electrical lines during the edging. His honesty was reflected in him lowering the final price due to not having to use all of the previously estimated mulch.

I contacted Bryan Christman, probably the 2nd or 3rd week of September, on behalf of an elderly friend who is very hard of hearing. He returned my call that same day, I explained the reasons for my role as a go-between and gave a general description of the work to be done. We arranged a date to meet at my friend's home and toured the property while thoroughly discussing the work that was needed. Bryan gave thoughtful and reasonable suggestions, when he noted problem areas, for my friend to consider. He explained in detail what he would do and made certain that both he and my friend clearly understood everything. I asked for a written estimate and Bryan e-mailed that to me within a couple of days, with a description of the work to be done. My friend reviewed it, gave his OK and I contacted Bryan again to arrange a time to begin the work. As so much re-seeding was needed on the front lawn and it was getting into late September, I wanted to be sure that the seed had time to grow. I know that Bryan did his absolute best to fit my friend into his work schedule and he called me about a week later to tell me when he could begin. In today's world of contractors who dislike calling customers to make certain expectations are met, Bryan is a rare business man. He kept me informed in advance of everything, so I could relay information to my friend. He is a man of his word, always prompt and completed the work when he said he would, despite having an employee out sick. My friend told me that he was extremely pleased with all areas of the work - front and back - and the grass came up very nicely.
I checked the and quot;N/Aand quot; box regarding the price of the work because we did not get any other estimate, but the cost was acceptable to my friend and he thought it was reasonable. It was getting later into the fall for the re-seeding and because Bryan is so customer oriented, my friend asked that he do the work as soon as he could, which he did - to our complete satisfaction!

Owner and his assistant arrived on schedule and took care of all items as requested + a couple of small, extra tasks. They worked quickly and carefully around the plants. Treated my yard as if it was their own. Very polite and pleasant. I
plan to have them do other yard work in the future. Highly recommend them.

Sevice was performed the three snow storms, Work was done promptly and completely. However, during the first large snowfall, the plow did rip up two large pieces of sod, which will need to be removed or repaired.
Response from Christman Landscaping
"Thank you for the review. It can be tough determining where the edge of the driveway is if it is not marked. I was not aware of the damage until now, but I will fix it when things are thawed out. That first storm was a hard one because the snow got packy and I could not backblade at all, which meant a lot of extra shoveling. But that's the snow business and you do what you have to do. Thanks again, Bryan Christman"

I called to pick up leaves. I have a half acre yard that was buried with leaves. With the hurricane coming in I was afraid it would make a soggy mess no one would be able to pick up. He came immediately, putting off work that he had planned on his own yard to come and do my yard on a Saturday. They picked them up quickly and beautifully then went rushing off to do his own yardwork.
Response from Christman Landscaping
"When I saw the 6" deep leaves all over and especially covering the storm drains I knew there could be some real problems with flooding of your property and the main road through the town, not to mention a huge truckload of wet leaves if they were left until afterwards. The job ended up being a bit more than I expected with lots of branches under the leaves, but I was glad to be able to get it cleaned up before Sandy hit. Thanks for your report! Bryan Christman"

We were pleased. They came on time and did what they were going to do. I thought they did a good job but my husband thought they didn't complete the job as well as we would have liked. The price was exorbitant.
Response from Christman Landscaping
"I don't know why this customer posted another report to the work we did a over a year ago with a few minor changes. (Original report is dated 4/26/11). As far as the original job I was tempted to respond that the customer probably did not realize how difficult it was to clean up the fall leaves that were left for the whole winter of 2010/2011 (which was extremely snowy and packed the leaves down plus dropped many large branches that we cleaned up). The customer was not present during most of the time we worked there. It was one of the most difficult spring leaf cleanups I have ever done in nearly 30 years of experience and simply sticking to my estimate and doing as good a job as we could was already going the extra mile. As far as the "area by the shed" I had simply forgotten to cleanup a small bed area that amounted to probably less than 5% of the entire job and when I was reminded by the customer when they arrived we cleaned it out. If I had charged the customer for the actual time we spent there it would have been $100 more. But I have always tried to stick to my estimates even if I know it should cost more (I don't expect my customer to know that and don't bring it to their attention that I think they got a deal from my perspective.) Respectfully submitted by Bryan Christman, Owner."

I can't say enough good things about Brian. He is by far the best landscaper I've ever worked with. I think his prices were very fair considering the amount of work done. More importantly, he went out of his way to be meticulous about doing the job the right way, not the fast and lazy way. I really had no idea what I wanted to do and he gave me all kinds of ideas and was very good about staying within our budget but still getting the look we wanted.
I asked him to pull out a small tree because we thought it was ugly. Any other landscaper would have just pulled it and charged us. Brian decided that after pulling out the surrounding shrubs that the tree looked too good to get rid of so he left it in place. When I got home he was there and said he just couldn't bring himself to pull the tree out. He made a plea in person as to why the tree should stay. And he was right, it looked good after all the other shrubs were removed and I decided to keep it. He would have made more money by just pulling the tree but he obviously cared more about how our yard would look than his bottom line which is pretty exceptional. Anyway, I've used Brian since last year for a spring clean up and again he did an awesome job.

I contacted Bryan when we needed some yard work done quickly. He was unable to help us at that time, due to our schedule needs and employee illness in his company. However, Bryan was extremely prompt with his reply, courteous, helpful---very professional in every way. I was impressed enough with his professionalism that I kept him in my files for future contact. Then my husband went into the hospital for a couple of weeks quite suddenly, and after he returned home to recuperate, we discovered that he does not yet have the physical stamina to mow the lawn as he normally does. I contacted Bryan immediately, to see if this was one of the services his company offered. He got back to me right away and came over to give us an estimate that same day. Based on once again his professionalism and specialized training and experience, we hired him immediately. He made a point to fit us into his busy schedule quickly, which we much appreciate. He came yesterday and mowed our big properly, doing an absolutely beautiful job of mowing, edging with weed eater, etc. He was terrific and we are very pleased. We will absolutely continue to use Christman Landscaping for our landscaping and lawn needs. Indeed...we hope that he decides to offer snow removal services, with which he also has many years of experience, so that we can hopefully hire him for that job as well!

they seemed to stick to the center of the lawn - we had to ask to have the leaves next to the garden shed raked up. The lawn looks very good - they cleaned up well. I wish they had gone the extra step for the high price.

We initially called for an estimate on raking and a final mowing. When he came to do the estimate he also offered a more in depth clean up, clearing gardens, sapplings, etc. The estimate was $400 plus tax, and he also said if we accepted that he could come back and do it that same day! I was so happy with the results, my yard went from scrappy mess to imaculate in just a few hours. I plan to have him do more work in the future.

The experience was very good. When they left there were no leaves left! It took 2 gentleman 4 hours to complete the work. I would suggest to others to wait until all your leaves have fallen til you call to schedule. The day after our service we had a tree lose more leaves and get all over our yard again. It was worth the price and half the cost of another quote we received.
