Lamphear's Lawn Service

Here is a great example of a basic Unilock retaining wall installed by your team at Lamphears Landscaping. Its already failed after less than 5 years. It’s a simple wall that is barely 24 inches high. When asked how much of a gravel drainage layer they put behind the wall I was told only several inches. The Unilock website says minimum 14 inches should be used. When I asked if they used Geogrid or filter fabric behind the wall. I was told they didn’t need it. Both items were listed on the initial quote but now by their own admission not used. Pictures dont lie this is what you are left with. I’m sure you will likely see a rebuttal to this review from Lamphears. Of course, the GM will tell you “Hey it only had a two year warranty!” There was nothing in writing on the quote or final invoice about a warranty. Only a two year warranty for a simple wall like this ? Goes to show you how much they think of their own work when they wont back it up after 2 years. Stay away.

Did and EXCELLENT job. I will hire them again in the spring for new landscaping. Excellent customer service.

Like clockwork.

Lamphear's Lawn Service has some of the most honest, competent and trustworthy people I have ever done business with!  I requested an initial consultation through Angie's List, which took a few days longer than I had hoped, but it is the busy season. The person who came out thoroughly assessed my situation and identified my needs, which helped me decide that some of the work I thought I needed really wasn't necessary, ultimately saving me a lot of money.  I did have them spray my lawn for weeds in two visits over about 5 weeks, the service was excellent and my lawn has never looked better!  You can trust these guys.  Thanks Lamphear's!

It was a really good experience. They provide good customer service and quality of work.

We were very pleased with the results.  Our front was covered with brush & dead trees and fallen trees.  Brad & and co-worker cleaned it out with only tree stumps left to have ground.  They worked hard and were very pleasant and professional.  They came when they said they would.  Their estimate and final cost was very fair.  We will have them back again for additional yard work.

They did a great job! The crew showed up early in the morning on time. We walked thru the placement of all the new plants and reviewed what they were going to do. Everything was removed and installed exactly as we had agreed. The edging and mulch looked great--far better than I've ever done myself. One bed hadn't been cleaned out in years and they did a fantastic job of cutting down all the overgrown weeds and removing branches, poison ivy and other misc trash from the bed and clearing it out. They even pulled out an old metal bar that had been sticking out of the ground! They also did a nice job of working around the few shrubs that were going to stay in that bed. It looked great. I would definitely contract with them again for my landscaping.

Kevin came to give us an estimate in April. Our 1 acre property was a mess from the winter, with leaves everywhere, huge bare spots where the grass had died and 1 area where flooding had occurred. He was very professional, gave us a step by step plan, and advised us that the weather would have to be right before they could do it.
Drew came with a crew 3 times until all the work was completed. It was amazing to see the yard with all the leaves gone. The aerating, seeding and fertilizing worked great. Grass has come back in all the bare areas. Drew and the crew were very easy to work with.

Kevin and the crew have been very professional and on time. The quote took about a week to receive but was timely and well priced. So far they've done a great job on our lawn.

They responded to my call for service very quickly. They did a great job, cleaned up, and were done!

New flower bed with stones--one new large shrub--one medium rock

Kevin came out to survey the job site shortly after I contacted him. Work was completed within a month after approving the design. Kevin was very good, explained things clearly and the contracts were written clear and concise. I spoke with his employees the day they were working and to a man, they were all very polite and friendly. The work was completed later that day and the work was very good. I am having them do the mowing next year as well. Very pleased with all phases of the project.

Very efficient. Only took a couple of days. Well done. The drain works great and the lawn looks great.

Fantastic. They have the right equipment to do the job quickly.

They did an excellent job. They had the foreman, Shane, and seven gentlemen assisting him. They had 3 trucks to clean up and haul the stuff away. When they left it was clean as a whistle. The value and workmanship was wonderful. Kevin, who came to do the design and quote, did a hand drawing of his design, including colors and name of plants. No other place did that, it was wonderful to see what we were getting before we started. He also provided a proposal instead of an estimate, so we knew what the cost would be. All of the gentleman were very conscientious and worked very efficiently.

It went very well. The drain seems to work well in heavy downpours. The grass is growing. The major low areas are flattened out. The concrete contractor that did the driveway wrecked the yard and Lamphear fixed that. The concrete guy is not an Angie's list service so there you go....
I guess the price is good. I did not get additional estimates which is an Angie's list no-no. So I have nothing to compare to. But the work is done and done well with no redos on anything so I got what I paid for.
Kevin from Lamphear estimated and directed the work. He even came back a second time on a Saturday before the work to explain the details. He sent two crews so they got it done in one day. Kevin's professionalism and willingness to explain everything and send enough people to get it done quickly was why I didn't bother with additional estimates.

I would not hesitate to refer this company to my friends !! Their office staff is very helpful and answer all questions..
