It was perfect. They created a design that fit our needs and walked us through it in detail. They communicated when they would be on-site, if there we're delays (rain), and if there we're unforseen issues (needed large tree stump removal) in a professional manner. Very trustworthy!

A very positive experience: the crews were knowledgeable, courteous, and reliable, and the lawn looked great with their mowing and treatments. I was billed for exactly the price that was quoted.

Staff were very courteous and accommodating as my request came in late in the season. I was concerned that the project wasn't going to be able to happen before the end of the year but thankfully they were able to fit me in before the frost came. Fast working team that certainly focuses on quality and care. I did landscaping in another life so I feel like I know a few thing and I was impressed by the finished product. I will certainly use their services again!

We've been using Carrington for lawn care services the past 3 years and couldn't be happier. They have great customer service and are always very responsive to any questions we have. The crews are friendly and extremely knowledgeable. They also did a small firepit/patio project for us a few years ago that turned out great. They are a bit more expensive than other contractors we've used in the past, but feel strongly that you get what you pay for!

Carrington maintains my lawn on a weekly basis for the past two seasons. They do an excellent job and are consistent and punctual. We also have utilized Carrington for various landscape projects including the installation of a natural stone retaining wall and landscape lighting. Their attention to detail is impeccable, and their communication is second to none.

Carrington removed an old patio and replaced it with a new patio. Design was simple, per our wishes, and was approximately 300 square feet, using Unilock pavers. We were impressed with Carrington staff from the first time we met them during a home show, which is why we invited them to our home for an estimate. Although they weren't the lowest estimate we received, we chose them due to their ability to fully turn our vision for our new patio into reality, from discussing our concerns of the problems we currently had with our old patio, as well as preserving a favorite tree next to our patio. They carefully listened to our concerns and made a design that met our expectations, giving recommendations when we needed them. When they encountered some additional difficulties in the midst of laying the patio, they discussed this with us before proceeding and help us come up with a revised plan (including the refunding of some cost of materials we would no longer need). Throughout the process, from the estimate phase to the completion of our patio, their communication with us was top-notch, better than any other contractor we have worked with for other projects for our home. This was another reason we chose them over other contractors. We knew what to expect from the beginning, and they readily kept us updated on timelines (ending up being able to move up the start of our project sooner than expected) and delays due to weather. All staff, including Mark (our landscape designer), Brian (our foreman) and the rest of their crew, were highly professional and courteous. We are very pleased with our finished patio and hope to enjoy it for many years to come. We would not hesitate to use Carrington again or to recommend them to others!

We were looking for a retaining wall tear down, rebuild, hardscaped patio installation. Mark met us and was very responsive and punctual in our discussions and meetings. He had excellent ideas and knowledge of the product options. A proposal was provided shortly after his visit to our residence. We ended up using another contractor, but would be very confident that Carrington would do a great job.

Outstanding in every respect. Design, workmanship, quality of materials were all superb. They started when they said they would and they finished on time. Very punctual each day and easy to talk to when we had questions or suggestions. The entire team worked very hard to make sure we were happy and we are completely satisfied!

They are a small company, and as such their responsiveness can be a little slow sometimes (e.g. during storms, if you have branches fallen and you call them immediately and you're put on their schedule for a day but they won't be able to come). Also, they are a little expensive - their pricing for mowing is higher than others' and they tend to charge for a service more when other companies wouldn't. For example, if the grass is a little taller because of seeding they did earlier in the year, they will charge you extra for double mowing. While prices are not unreasonable, they are certainly not a deal either. Nevertheless, their work is top notch on most occasions and despite a few minor issues, we are very happy which is why we continue to work with them.

We have been customers with Carrington for many years. They have done all sorts of work for us, from tree and plant care (pesticide application control etc.), to spring/fall cleanups, to dethatching to mowing and trimming our lawn. Their work is very good, and they have an arborist specialist among their crew who is quite knowledgeable and has provided many suggestions over the years.

Working with Mark was a breeze, start to finish. He was very knowledgeable and responsive. I had quite a few questions throughout the process and he answered every one of my emails and phone calls the same day, usually within the hour! The crew showed up for the job on time and did exceptional work. Very clean and efficient - hardly even knew they were there!

The crew was professional, hard working, polite and punctual. They knew what they were doing and it showed. The result was better than we expected. They put in extra time and effort when needed and didn't complain when things didn't go the way they had planned. Carrington administrators kept in touch during the project and made sure everything went well. I highly recommend this business and its workers. This is the type of business where it is easy for things to turn out less than ideal and Carrington was just the opposite. Things went very well. Everything was outlined in detail before the project and every change was noted and documented. It was a pleasure working with them.

I was very impressed most of all with the service and responsiveness of Carrington. BUT, they were also the best price! They were the "medium" sized company that we priced out, and they came in cheaper than the "small" company, and the "big" company. Great company. Our rep was Phil Carrington. We plan on using Carrington in the spring for more work, lawn maintenance and tree trimming.

I contacted Carrington Lawn and Landscape for an assessment and quote regarding improving the grading around our house and installing a retaining wall. I worked with Phil who was extremely professional and responsive. I told Phil that this was mainly exploratory as we had just moved in and I wanted to get a rough idea of what to budget for future seasons. Regardless, he treated my request with utmost professionalism and took time to come out and assess my property. Even though, I only needed an unofficial, back-of-the-envelope estimate, he took the time to draft up a quote with a couple options. I have not used their services as this was mainly exploratory and we aren't taking on major landscaping projects at this point. However, I was very impressed from this experience.

Carrington is very reliable. They show up on the same day, each week, to mow the front and the back yards, and they do the sidewalk/walkway edging as well. It is so wonderful for us not have to worry about having this extra chore. Our back yard is rather large for a city lot and would take a good deal of time and effort with our push mower. Carrington Lawn Service arrives with large power mowers and the job is taken care of in 20 minutes or so, and it's one less thing we have to worry about. With the 4th of July coming, they arrived a littler earlier in the week to take care of things... Wonderful!!

Nothing but praise for Carrington! We had a massive complex project for our residential property, got estimates from 4 reputable and highly rated landscapers in the Madison area, but ultimately chose Carrington over the others for at least two major reasons. First, their estimate was neither the highest nor the lowest (we had estimates from $10K~$50K), seemed completely reasonable for the solution they were pitching to us for our drainage issues, and they assured us that their estimate was what we would end up paying (barring any major surprise)?and in the end they were right. Second, we felt strongly that their architect, Phil Carlson, listened better than anyone else from the competing landscape companies, and was more responsive to our concerns and needs as these became clarified in the process of discussing his proposal, which he gladly and promptly modified. Phil didn't try to push unneeded work on us. And he worked hard supervising the project, making frequent on-site visits to supervise the crew, and when there were the inevitable unforeseen problems, did his level best to accommodate us without raising the price of the work. For instance, when the pavers they installed between our sun room door and deck turned out to be lower than anticipated, they installed and painted steps to match the deck. All in all, this was perhaps the best experience I've ever had with any contractor in my two decades of home ownership. A few other points worth mentioning: Carrington took especial care in not harming the any of our large trees. Carrington not only established a safe path for their heavy machinery at a distance from the trees recommended by our arborist, they carefully laid down thick material over our yard so that the extensive root system would not be damaged. I also liked the 3D plans Phil did for us, which made it easier to understand what the final product would look like, and the time elapsed photography of the project. Also, the crew?led by Flint?was great: professional, respectful, hard working, experienced, intelligent. Finally, and most importantly, the entire project was a huge success. Although completed at the end of last summer, I wanted to wait for the spring snow melt before writing this review, since the proof is in the pudding. The snows on the steep slope next to our house melted, but the drainage system, hardscaping, and retaining wall worked perfectly to divert the runoff clear of the house and deck. I would recommend Carrington in the strongest possible terms!
