Crenshaw Landscaping

Crenshaw Landscaping was great to work with - our experiences with workmen giving prompt estimates and timely follow-up hasn't been the best, but Crenshaw couldn't have been better . They arrived when scheduled, worked diligently throughout the hot August day, and did a perfect clean-up after the job was finished. Our sidewalk and retaining wall are beautiful, and we will be using them again for other landscaping projects.

Chris is extremely knowledgeable about the plants and trees of this area and his plan was well thought out to preserve and renew the trees and hedges and remove invasive plants. I interviewed a number of contractors and his bid was the most complete. He was punctual for both the bid meeting and with his crew to do the work - which was well worth the expense. They did an excellent job and I can't wait until next Spring to see our yard bloom. I highly recommend Crenshaw Landscaping.

They were able to get things done quickly, which was great because we were moving and needed to get the house "look" resolved before we left town. I felt like the cost was a little high for the visual impact of the work, BUT I will be the first to admit that I have no idea how much thing kind of thing should cost, so I am probably under-valuing the work. We were just glad that we didn't have to do it ourselves. Here's the breakdown: Description: Clean up front landscape beds. Include the following. Weed front beds and re-mulch. Add 2 Varigated Lirope 3 gal. . Price: $125.00 ---------------------- Description: Back Beds - include the following: Install a stepping stone landing at bottom of stairs, fill large hole with topsoil, Weed garden and re-mulch including blackberry and rose bushes along fence. Price: $225.00

We worked with Chris and asked for a couple of modified bids. We were attempting to work with the Homeowner's association on the project, which delayed it significantly. He was very patient and when we finally were able to move forward, he was able to do the work within 3 days. We were not home when it was completed, but were delighted with the work. They not only did what was contracted, but also reworked two areas of drainage and planted grass seed.

When he arrived at our home, he asked how I had heard about him...Told him Angies list....Told him that I was aware that he was offering a special to angie's list clients....Told him basically what we wanted...he measured, took notes....gave me a ballpark price of $4,000....said he would email me written quote within 24 hours. Well, 48 hrs later, I received the written quote and it had doubled in price...AND...to top it off, he never called to see if I received the quote, if I had any quesions...nothing...nada...horrible customer service, and shame on him for quoting one thing and then delivering a totally different price. Would not use this company.

They are very excellent, they did a good job and I did not have any problems or issues with them. The person who worked with us is very gentleman and its nice to work with him.

Chris & his crew showed up on time and did a great job! Even after they were finished, they came back on their own time and made some adjustments. I highly recommend Chris; he is a true professional, cares about his business and does not hesitate to go beyond to ensure customer satisfaction.

My landscaping needs were relatively small compared to the larger jobs that Crenshaw does, but my job was treated as if it was the only job they had. There was no rushing to get finished with my job and Crenshaw and his crew made me feel at ease and not hesitate to ask questions or add my "two cents worth." All in all working with Chris Crenshaw, his Dad and crew was a very positive experience. Chris and his Dad are very knowledgeable concerning varieties of plants, bushes and trees, where they would do best, when they should be planted and how they should be planted. For all these reasons, Crenshaw will be coming back this fall to plant trees, bushes and plant bulbs. I finally found the perfect landscaping company....Crenshaw Landscaping.

They did a very good job. They are easy to schedule with. They showed up on time and did exactly what they said they would.

Crenshaw did great work. Answered phone on first call, came to my house after work and gave me an estimate the same day. I had one other estimate and chose his because he was so knowledgeable about plants and how they should be pruned as well as garden design for minimum effort and maximum enjoyment. We needed major work done including pruning and shrub removal and cleaning out a pond with a fountain and getting it running. I spoke to him a few times before the job started and he answered all my questions and made great suggestions for our garden. He was able to start quickly, was on time and completed the job very timely. Exceeded my expectations. Will use them again.

Chris provided a drawing of the proposed changes in my back yard using existing planting and design features in his design. He and his crew removed (Chris actually used climbing gear) the tree and a large pine tree and placed a large water feature in the yard, multiple trees, bushes, and flowers. Chris repurposed many bushes and shrubs. He was on the site every day, both directing work and participating in work. Many days he was at the house long after his crew was gone. He took great care to use many of the existing plantings or move them to a more suitable location. He turned the backyard into an oasis that is 100% more usable that it was in the past. We have already used Chris to add a second water feature to the side yard and he will return to put in the remaining flagstone patio in early July. Chris is easy to work with, his crew is hard working, and went above and beyond to ensure that the project was what my wife and I wanted. I highly recommend Chris and Crenshaw Landscaping and have friends and neighbors who want his contact information for their projects.

The first day they transplanted a magnolia tree, which I hope will make it was this is not the ideal time to transplant and started digging for the pond. We have rock everywhere about 2 inches below the surface, so it took them longer than planned to go through the rock. For our area they did not think we would have so much rock. We had a lot of ground cover to be removed from the new pond area which they did a good job in removing. The plants from the old pond area were moved to the new pond and several more new plants were added. Several limbs from an existing large oak tree were trimmed to give us a better view of the pond and landscaping. They build a wooden bridge over the water to continue the path from our driveway to a back door of our sunroom. A 110 volt power box was moved from the old pond to the new pond. They pumped out the old pond, removed liners, and filled in with dirt and seeded and put down wheat straw. Since there are lots of small rocks still at the old pond location, we will have to have further work done on that area. Overall both my husband and I love the new pond. We both think it is more than we were planning on. We definitely would recommend this firm for landscaping. Everything on the contract was completed and they cleaned up every day and at the completion.

When you call, they answer the phone. They get you a quote in a reasonable amount of time. They were actually done ahead of schedule. It worked really well. It was amazing.

The team worked really hard for three full days and did an awesome job. There was good communication and feedback during the process. Everyone was very nice, friendly, and very easy to work with. Chris and I consulted throughout the process to modify and tweak the plan as we went. I am so happy with how everything looks! I would definitely recommend them to anyone!

I called Chris and asked him to come out for an estimate for a paver patio. I also wanted wood steps that went to a screen porch replaced with stone steps. He scheduled a time and came out. He listened to what I wanted and I asked for any design recommendations that he may have as well. He suggested adding the seat wall. Chris said we would itemize the estimate so that I could implement what my budget would allow. Each item could be added later. After a few weeks I received an email with a very detailed drawing and itemized estimate from Chris. It listed the type of materials and cost for each item. We had a few more discussions and once I had decided on what I wanted I sent Chris the down payment and he got started almost immediately. The patio, seat wall, steps and lighting all look great. I am very pleased with the outcome. Chris and his team were very professional with the work that they did.

Chris Crenshaw came out to our house and spent over an hour surveying the property and drafting a proposal. He came back a second time to review the proposal with me and my wife in person. It is quickly apparent that Chris is very knowledgeable. He does a great job of working as a landscaping "consultant" vs. a high pressure "sales person". He was respectful of our budget and did his best to maximize what we were willing to spend. His crew of 6 guys came out to our house earlier this week and completed the entire project. We could not be more pleased with the results. We've already had two neighbors ask us for the number to our landscaper!! I would highly recommend Crenshaw landscaping. High quality work and affordable pricing.

got an estimate from Crenshaw on some landscaping for the front of my house. Chris came out at a time that was convenient for me and gave me a comprehensive, timely estimate. I did not use him, as I went with someone I had previously used who I already had a relationship with. But, I would not hesitate to contact him again for future work/estimates. Good ideas, professional.

Had first engaged with Crenshaw Landscaping to get a quote to solve some yard drainage problems with my new house. Mr. Crenshaw wrote up a nice proposal as to how to resolve it, knowing that it would likely be handled by the builder, which it was. So no business for them from this first encounter. He personally delivered it for me to pick it up at the new house. And this was all done without actually meeting! However, their responsiveness impressed me. So when I opted to pursue getting some exterior lighting showcasing the front of the house, I opted to return to them. They had some good comments on Angie's List, and my experience so far was good, so why change? They did what I wanted, how I wanted, when I wanted, and for the price I was quoted. It was not an inexpensive job, and perhaps someone "handier" and with enough free time could've done the job themselves, but... I wanted the job done right, and well, and it seems that it has been! All this, and we've still not met in ! Email and phone and written quotes have been enough. I anticipate that I will turn to Crenshaw again should I have additional landscaping needs!

He was a good guy. They did everything well. They were competent and knew what they were doing. They came when they said they would. I would use them again.

Came out for estimate for waterscsape, 2 hours late. Personable fellow. I asked for references and photos. Mr Crenshaw said he would email them to me within a few days. Never heard from him again.

I found them to be outstanding. They recommended a landscape architect to help layout a complete revision of the front. They are very easy to work with. They were a shear delight to work with.

When Chris arrived to find out what we were interested in having him do, I had only a vague idea of what I wanted. Our house is new and the yard small, and the builder put in only the basic landscaping -- hollies, dwarf nandina, monkey grass, a few arbotrvitae. I told Chris several plants I liked and a few I did not like, and told him I just wanted my yard to be pretty, with some definite seasonal color. He was very patient, at the end of a long day for him, and did not make me feel rushed when I tried to describe my ideas. He took lots of notes, had lots of suggestions, and was obviously very knowledgeable. A few days later we received a color drawing of a design he had in mind. It was fabulous -- but the estimate was much more than we wanted to pay at this time. We said if he could break the plan down into phases, and do what he could to keep the first phase under a particular dollar amount, if we were happy with his work after the first phase we would call him back at some point to do more. He drew up another plan, and we went with that one. It looks great, even in December. Can't wait to see it in spring!! The arrival of spring and summer, and the emerging of the bulbs and blooming azaleas and crape myrtle, will be the true test. But I have full confidence that we will be thrilled. And the plants are guaranteed for a full year, so if anything happens they will be replaced.

Chris and crew were pleasant to work with. He had some good ideas and we spent alot of time discussing the options. He seemed knowledgable about plants and what works well in Tennessee, and came up with a great plan. The price seemed high, but proved to be competitive. The installation went well and everything was left neat and looking fantastic. He returned a few days later to cheerfully move a few plants around. They even came to my house and watered the new plantings while I was out of town. Thanks!

Chris came to my home to estimate rejuvenating an area < 1000 sf that would not grow grass. It's on the North side of my home and in heavy shade. I had asked for replacement of some topsoil that had eroded with rain, possible shade tolerant ground cover with mulch to hold the soil and minimize erosion, and drip irrigation. Chris came to inspect, but never followed up. Two calls and two eMails failed to garner a response. I suspect my job was not lucrative enough for him to get involved. I can accept that, but what I cannot accept is the unprofessionalism of not responding to my personal inquiries as to cost, availability, etc. In my opinion, if one cannot communicate effectively before the sale, what kind of communication might we expect if I had paid him to do the work and some sort of issue developed? I just won't go there, and I hope you won't either. There are plenty of reputable professionals who will shoot straight and deal with you like an adult. Don't take a chance on this guy.By the way, I ended up spending just above $3K with another landscaper I'd worked with before, and I'm completely thrilled with the results!

We were pleased with the job. The brick work was excellent. They cleared up a section of our driveway and made sure it was re-barbed and secure. I am very happy with all of it. Their price was competitive and I think they were better than some. They gave us excellent service. They also gave us suggestions for the future and how the water should flow. We are on a hill and he gave us suggestions. He did a lot of extra things without charging. He was a good worker and designer and I was very pleased. He came when he said he was going to come and he was professional.
