Hursh's Landscaping

I have worked with Hursh for at least 5 years. While they had some growing pains in the beginning, the work is high quality. The men are polite and easy to deal with. The operating manger, George, has become very responsive. One area needs attention: returned phone calls. But, things are improving markedly. I will continue to use these folks.

Contractor regraded a section of property which needed a half dozen
stumps removed.  Job start was significantly delayed from that
promised.  A fairly large area needed to be resseded and was sub
contracted to Godshall Hydroseeding.  The grass was of poor quality and
did not germinate properly; that grass that did germinate was field
quality and weeds.  Owner came to look at job and made excuses and said
he would try to repair before end of season.  After 3 years with this
contractor, it appears we are at the end of our relationship.  Very poor
communication skills.  Owner does NOT return telephone calls. 
Operations manager tries to do best he can but owner seems more intent on HOA jobs and less interested in our's.  We had a rocky beginning where we advised them in advance they were on probabtion given our experience last year.  Unfortunately, Hursh performance this year has gotten much worse. Sloppy cutting, tearing up turf, cigarette butts thrown over property, extensive damage to metal fence attached to wooden rails requiring extensive and expensive repairs. The Company does not follow through on commitments.
In conclusion, perhaps if you are an HOA, this contractor may work out, but as an inidividual, Hursh quality has gone from excellent in year one to terrible and expensive in year three.

This review is long overdue!  My project involved some light landscaping at my condo within parameters of my small budget and the condo association!  Excellent service! I booked my consultation with Jason. He arrived exactly on time for my initial consultation and provided some excellent ideas for my project.  In less than I week he delivered a landscape plan that I loved and was immediately approved by my homeowner association.  Long story short, I now have beautiful landscaping surrounding my condo. I couldn't be happier!  Thanks to Hursh's!

1. Big crew came to conduct clean-up.  So far, the edger cut through 3 UNMARKED items. A low voltage lighting system wire; an unused irrigation line and a unknown electrical line.  The Company was very honorable and and owned up to the issues immediately and in the last case, where the wires led to an unknown item, they repaired the same without being asked immediately.
2. I asked the tree line pine beds not be "blown" clear of existing pine needles so as to preserve the natural mulch.  Lack of communication apparently led to blowing much of the existing pine needles away thereby requiring more mulch.  Also, some beds were mulched that were nor supposed to be.  This communication was my fault.  I first told them to mulch and subsequently told their boss not to mulch. Unfortunately, the size of the crew leaves room for many miscommunications.  Today we had 30 guys working on 4 acres.
3. For the last three years I have paid for weed control which involve monthly weed treatment in the numerous beds and not the lawn.  The weeding has been a gross failure to date.  The weeders come once a month and that is not enough.  Unless I am present to point out the weeds, many are missed; some are three feet tall.  The Company has recognized this as an ongoing problem and has hired new folks again to do the weeding. 
4..My biggest issue is communications.  I have contacted the owners by email and phone numerous times and rarely hear back from them; thus requiring multiple communications and leading to my frustration.  I do, however, eventually hear from a quality control guy- usually in time to resolve an issue.
The bottom line is the work is top notch, not cheap, not outrageous, extremely professional and polite workers.  The relationship requires ongoing attention.  Maybe I am just too hard to please.

It was a beautiful job, done on time and within our budget.

Working with Hursh's was an excellent experience, from initial meetings with the landscape architect, to the workers who were here every day on time, to the owners

They always do a good job. They have a lot of people so the job will get done in a timely manner.

Things kept getting pushed back but when they finally said they could come, they did show up on time. I'm not 100% happy with how the lawn turned out, so I'm not sure we would use them again.

Hursh's Landscaping did an excellent job. It took the exact amount of time they said it would, and they were courteous and professional throughout the job.
