C & R Landscape Services

Robert Pope and his crew (Mario in particular) are incredible. As a property manager by profession, I deal with a lot of different vendors both professionally and personally and can't recommend C&R Landscape Services highly enough. They are punctual, professional and over-deliver every time. When I bought my house about a year ago, the yard was in complete disarray. Because of C&R Landscape Services, we now might have the best yard in the neighborhood. I live on an acre and this has been no small job. We've removed plants, added plants, installed a sprinkler system, added a bunch of grass, removed a rock garden and the list goes on and on and on... If you need something done and done right at a fair price, call Robert at C&R. These guys are the best landscape company I've ever worked with by far, and given my profession, I've dealt with many different companies. Call Robert. You won't be disappointed!

Very happy with C&R Landscape Service.  We have a fairly large property with lots of trees and hedges.  We had C&R come out to do a full yard cleanup, trim the hedges and bushes, haul away all the leaves and trimmings, and put down beauty bark.  I thought their prices were reasonable and they did a great job.  There was a three man crew that spent two days completing the work.  Quick and efficient.  And the yard looks great.  Robert and Michelle were both friendly and quick to respond to any questions.  We plan on hiring C&R to do regular yard maintenance.

Prior to them coming out we discussed that there would be an additional charge to remove the waste, and we told them we would handle the disposal on our own. However, we asked them to take care of a laurel bush in our yard, and the containers weren’t going to be enough to hold that so they were going to dispose of only that. One of the workers kept pacing back and forth for a while when they got to our house. After about 40 minutes, I said something to him because we were paying them by the hour. He said he had to wait because he just picked up weeds; this doesn’t seem fair since we were paying them by the hour. We were shorted about two hours of work by him waiting around to do the weeds. He made me feel very uncomfortable. I decided I didn’t want them to do the laurel bush because they didn’t seem professional, and I was uncomfortable with them doing the laurel bush. They also left about 20 minutes early, so we got shorted an additional hour and 20 minutes on the time we paid for because all four workers left early. Then when we got a bill charging us for the disposal, which we told them we would take care of all disposal except the laurel bush which they ended up not doing.

It was excellent; never had it better. They were amazing. I don’t think I have had anybody come out that was that good. The tree people that I spoke with were really efficient, they called me right back and then the two gentlemen that came out and actually did the work, were very personable. They knew what they were doing and were very careful about laying beauty barks around a pretty sensitive are as far as smaller plants and things like that, where you could just pile right over them but they were so careful about just laying the bark in there real gently. I have already called them for another job.

Excellent work and we love the new walkways and paver's they installed. We would use them again.

We asked them to build an raised bed in our back yard, similar to what we already had. They finished that job
and did a few others that they had time for. Great work, very responsive. We use them again.

They did a superb job, that our neighbors commented on how nice our yard looks!

The work was first scheduled to be done in November 2013 but was repeatedly delayed till Jan 22, 2014. 

Two men finally came and did the work but it was shoddy. The new portion of the patio is not level with the existing patio. I called the manager Robert, who however refused to come out to evaluate the work. He argued with me over the phone and stated the work was "beautiful". I asked him if he had seen the work, he said "I've looked at the pictures. "

I made it clear to the manager the patio was obviously not level and the transition line will always be a puddle when it rains. 

When the manager agreed to fix the work, he still did not come out personally.  After the workers removed the paving stones, I could see they did not compact the sand - there were deep boot marks all over the place in the sand.  When I approached the workers about correctly compacting the sand they only argued with me.

The company was also very unprofessional. The workers asked to use our compactor, which is not of professional grade.  They told me the compactor they brought with them that day was not as good as ours.

A separate section of the patio the workers laid slopes towards the house, instead of away.  When I pointed this out, they insisted that my husband had asked them to do so, which is totally false (because he laid the original patio himself and always made sure water slopes away from the house).  I asked Robert to call my husband, he refused and stated that they "were not  going to do anything to fix that section." 

Robert told me these are his best workers and I could either accept the work or they would pack up and leave.  I told him to pack up. He said he will be sending me a bill. 

Our project area is now a mess with the materials and remains unfinished. I have a big sand pit in the middle of my yard and I have to hire another company to dig up the stones to relay them properly. 

C & R might know how to clean a yard, they sure don't know how to lay a patio.  

The service was good.

We were very happy with C & R Landscape Services. Robert did a nice job of calling me and helping me decide what we could accomplish within our budget. The landscapers came out within a few days of our first phone call and were very professional - they arrived on time and got right to work weeding the front yard. They were fast and thorough and did everything I asked with a great attitude. I would highly recommend their services to friends and family.

Not so great. They were prompt and willing, but missed on details--like the hedge. Beautifully trimmed, but at three different heights. Asked them to trim the ferns in back. I wanted them trimmed, not shaped. They gave it two tries and now I have very weird, but not trimmed ferns. I'm not going to get hostile about it. They look slightly better than they were.
I asked the to spray a herbicide (I provided it and the sprayer) on a rockery and a brick area. Don't know what they did, but it's been about a month and everything is growing back. This stuff is "Ground Clear" and I shouldn't  see a spec of green anywhere. I have black berries, weeds, dandelions ... you name it.
They were very pleasant, but we didn't connect.

Good work.

The Guys were out on Saturday morning and arrived early and did a great
job. We were impressed by their courteous nature and helpful attitude. They
kept asking what else they could do (12 man hours to use). We will be looking
to use them next spring to layout an patio walkway (pavers).

It was fabulous, they worked so hard I just couldn't believe it, they just worked their hearts out and we were really pleased. There's no additional charges and they put in a retaining wall for us, they planted a bunch of box with plants, they weeded, I have to move these giant boulders, they did edging, they had to move a bunch of gravel, I could not believe how much they got done, we were just amazed. They were just the hardest workers I have ever seen, they didn't take a break for any reason and they are very friendly, very knowledgeable on what to do and they got it done. We probably have about 15 minutes left of our time that we bought and we said "You guys go home, you worked so hard and we're so pleased and we can't really think of anything else for you to do". They got right back to me, I said I can't do it until August and he said that it's okay and he'll make it work.

Everything turned out perfect. I don’t know what they could have done to make me happier. They showed up and did everything I asked. They were great people.

They arrived promptly even though it was pouring down rain and got right to work.  They were done quickly and efficiently.  I wasn't clear they'd be doing the actual work that day - I thought they were coming to look at the work to be done and would schedule from there.  As a result, some mulching I'd hoped to have them do didn't happen but otherwise I was pleased.

Since I got this as part of a BigDeal the provider was pretty booked up for a few weeks, which was understandable.  It was about a month after I purchased the deal that I actually got the service done.
Two workers showed up around 7:45am and left some time before 12:15pm.  I was a little surprised by this as the BigDeal was supposed to be for 12 hours of work.  I showed the workers what the general work I wanted done then left for work about 30 minutes after they started.  I came home at lunch around 12:15pm expecting to still see the workers, but they weren't there.  Unless more workers showed up after I left for work, that's only a total of 9 man hours worked between the 2 workers that were there in the morning when the BigDeal was for 12 hours.  I'm not overly concerned as my yard looks pretty nice now, but I am concerned enough that I have to question whether or not to use them again.  I was hoping to have them help do a monthly maintenance.

I was looking to spruce up my overgrown yard. C & R spent 12 hours getting it back under control, and it looks terrific! Both Donna and Robert were very pleasant to deal with and cheerful on the phone. Thank you so much C & R for the wonderful work! I should have done this ages ago.

Excellent!

Everything was fine. They work very well and fast. They were on time and I especially enjoy working with the owner. He is very timely with follow up and takes his business very seriously and is very dedicated to his customers. We've used them in the past and never hesitate to call them. They are very responsive with correcting anything you are not happy with as well.

Robert from C&R did work on my neighbor?s yard. I hired him based on the quality of the neighbor?s yard. Robert quoted a price for the French drains and the rock walkway. The quote was $3800. I ended-up paying $4800.
My first mistake was trusting Robert to do quality work while I was out of town. I was on vacation and wasn't able to oversee the work. The rock walkway was very low quality work. Robert didn't dig out the grass and apply a barrier before installing rocks. The rocks he installed were cheap and ugly 1/4 to 1 inch chunks of stone. He also did not install a barrier between the rocks and planting beds. It looked terrible and three weeks after he was done, grass and weeds sprouted between the rocks.
I had three landscapers review C&R's work on the walkway. All agree it was low-grade work. I paid a landscaper (who I found on Angie's list!) to fix the walkway. It cost $800 to fix C&R's work, but it looks great now.
C&R did an OK job on the french drains. My yard was a swamp before C&R installed the drains. It's dry now, which is great. But when the work was done, my yard was a dirt field. Robert had promised that I'd have grass and would be able to "play baseball" with my son in the backyard. It's taken nine months to START to get grass to grow. It still looks bad, but the grass is starting to come in.
When Robert finished the work in August, I refused to pay $500 outstanding on my bill until be fixed the grass and improved the rock walkway. He refused to do either and claimed that I was being too picky and difficult. He threatened to put a lean on my house for $500 if I didn't pay. I consulted my lawyer, who advised me to pay the $500. My lawyer explained that it is very easy for a contractor to put a lean on a house and that it is time consuming and expensive to remove the lean. And if you have a lean on your house you can't sell it. In the end, I begrudgingly paid the $500.
Robert was unprofessional, did low quality work and I would not recommend C&R.
