I’ve been using Custom Care Lawn & Property for several years. They are reliable and do great work. There are so many companies to choose from, yet the thing that sets them apart as an excellent company is the positive attitude of their staff….always looking to do the best they can do. I’ve seen this from the owner, to the office and field staff. It’s always a pleasure to come home to a lawn that’s well kept…and I hate to admit it, but they do a much better job of lawn care than I did. They do it all, from cutting to fertilization and insect control in the lawn….I will continue to use them and hope that this review helps you in deciding to give them an opportunity to serve you….you won’t be disappointed.

They do an excellent job. I have worked with them and they do more than just landscaping. They are getting ready to do my lawn in about two days.

Project went great! Staff was prompt and professional. I was able to customize the design of the patio to meet our needs and style. The patio is wonderful and we wish we had done it sooner. I would highly recommend this company.

After contacting multiple Landscape companies, all from Angie's List, we decided to heir Custom Care. The foreman Joe, came out to do the initial estimate, and realized that we needed to be creative, due to the large German Shepherds that had created a "dog track" in the back yard, and were adding to the incredible erosion problem that already existed.

We ended up taking the major mud slide, and putting in tiers with timbers, filling the tiered levels with river rock and then I added large ceramic pots with plants and flowers for color and esthetics.  All of the timbers around the retaining walls were raised and those that needed to be replaced were replaced. Where there was a bunch of stones just thrown in a random line along a tree line, the workers made a great tiered stone wall that the dogs would not be able to "knock down" or destroy. The work was primarily done for erosion control and ascetics for a very disastrous yard.

When the project was completed we realized we should have taken before and after photos! We are very pleased with the work and it is holding up very well with the dogs continuous running in the yard. Thanks to Custom Care, Joe and all of the workers who took the time to come up with the solutions and made subtle changes to the design structure when needed!! Great work, and highly recommended

Professional!

From the planning to execution, the entire staff was the epitome' of a "can do" attitude.
Willing to work together in a
Fluid environment to achieve the desired outcome within budget and on time.

Superb in every aspect. This was a tough job.... And they did it well!

I was on site.... These guys, from the owner to the guy with the shovel, are task oriented, aim to please, and
Are part of a focused and productive organization.

Best group of folks I have seen outside of the Corps!

I could have gotten the same thing from any landscaper for a free estimate. I don't think they went beyond. They did an evaluation, plan and drawing. I've called other landscapers too and they did the same thing for free. They didn't charge anything more. I've called other landscapers in the past and some did it for free and some did it for $25. I don't think the price was as competitive.

After our walk around the property, he left.  We were expecting a written landscaping plan with a price estimate.  After not hearing anything for many weeks, I called him in June.  He indicated that they had had a lot of people purchase the coupon and that they were very busy.  He would get back to me as soon as he could.  In the meantime, we put off going with any other landscaper because we assumed that he would get back to us with a plan and an offer.  Unfortunately, it is now the end of August, our yard looks even more unimpressive with many of our bushes dying -- the reason we purchased the deal to begin with -- and it's no longer a good time to do any significant planting.  
I understand being overwhelmed with work, but the professional thing to do would have been to (at the very least) take the initiative and contact the customers that you've left hanging to let them know you won't be able to get back to them this season.  In that case, at least we could have made the decision to go with one of the many other landscaping businesses around, and our yard wouldn't look so terrible.  
I also understand that Custom Care Lawn & Property Services never received any of our $49, but they reaped significant benefit from the coupon sales -- assuming that's why they are too busy to get back to us -- but this feels disrespectful and dismissive.  Not only will I not use this company in the future, but I will also think twice before I purchase coupons for services through Angie's List again.

We never received a plan even though I called twice to ask about it. It would be proper to get my money back.

We had to install a new sump/downspout drainage pipe.  This required the removal of some patio pavers.  Custom Care is going to be doing some yard work for us and we saw that they also did landscaping, patios, and stone work.  I called, gave them the size of the area to be re-installed and asked if they could do that small job.  Scott called back and said they could and would be happy to do so.  He was able to get Freddie and JR out within two days!! Yahoo!  What customer service.  I had a picture of the pavers/patio that I had taken.  The pavers were of odd sizes so they would create a pattern.  The picture allowed Freddie and JR to replace them so they matched the rest of the patio area.  Freddie and JR showed up on time, had all the equipment needed and got right to work.  They were easy to communicate with, really "knew their stuff", AND DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB!  They made sure the pavers slanted away from the house, and even notched two pavers so they fit the new piping.  The sand they brought to use as a base and between the pavers was even better and finer quality than what was used originally.  It made a difference.  I wish that quality had been used when the patio was first installed.  After they finished Freddie and JR cleaned up very well, and took away excess material we had taken out when the pavers were removed for the drain work.  They even took a few minutes to remove some excessive mulch that was piled up on our siding and around our gas meter.  There was a wire sticking up by the gas meter which I commented on.  Freddie told me it was for the gas company to attach a device to read the meter.  Not only were they good at what they did, but they educated me also.  A bonus.  I like to be an informed homeowner.  Never having had gas before, I now know a little more of how things operate thanks to Freddie.

Scott came out and discussed how best to handle our extremely overgrown front and back gardens and yards; we have a sweet-gum tree in the front yard (why?  oh, why?) which drops very, very annoying sweet gum-balls constantly.  Also, the landscaping was at one point beautiful and trimmed, but had become massively overgrown and was attempting to take over our yard, the neighbors' yard, etc. 
Scott suggested a regular mowing and edging schedule for the yard, during which his team would eliminate the sweet gum-balls, and also an extensive weeding, trimming, mulching, and cleaning up of the shrubbery areas.  He promptly provided a detailed written estimate.
We were uncomfortable with the use of Round-Up for weeding, and his team has no alternative weeding solutions, but he agreed to drop the Round-Up part of the estimate with no problem.
His team has mowed and edged our yard twice on the proposed schedule, and it looks marvelous; not a sweet-gum ball in sight!  On the day scheduled for the general clean-up, the weather was uncooperative, so Scott emailed the day before, suggesting an alternative date within the week.  We agreed to that, and on the date scheduled, his team showed up and did an amazing job trimming, weeding, mulching and cleaning up our gardens.  They did exactly as requested, and cleaned up after themselves beautifully.  Very professional, very organized.  I will definitely continue working with this company, and will recommend them highly.
