Why would I Yelp a Landscaping business? Because they did great work and I want to rave about it!…read more Let me tell you a story about a California girl named Krystle who was whisked away from San Diego, and left up creek without a paddle in this land called Connecticut. Being from California, the concept of trees, vast open spaces of land, and inclement weather are foreign to me; I needed help. My lawn was too big to mow myself; and I didn't want to add another chore to my bf's house upkeep list. We received a flyer in the mail from Highwood Landscaping offering a discount so I decided to test them out. Lawn mowed; no problems! After that test run, we kept them on for scheduled mowing, and I've been nothing but pleased. Then the Fall hit, the leaves were everywhere, everywhere, everywhere! We don't have this many trees in Cali! I never knew it could become such a problem. My lawn was definitely bringing the value of the neighborhood down, as it had become such an eyesore covered in leaves. But luckily, Highwood could take care of my Fall Cleanup as well. Phew. Leaves cleaned, no problems! And now that the snow has finally thawed, and the sun begins to warm my soul; I recently was reminded that there is life outside my heated living room. Time to make my yard presentable! Then, by coincidence or mind incepting fortune, Highwood gave me a call the very next day! (How did they know!?!) I had Amber come out to do an estimate for some landscaping. I was impressed with how knowledgeable she was about the different types of plant life I could get into my yard. She was very professional; and offered up suggestions I would have never thought of myself. I felt like I was on one of those design shows! Landscaping is not everyone's forte, but it is definitely an area of expertise for the employees of Highwood Landscaping. As a customer, it makes me feel good to have such a high level of professionalism and customer service.

They're inexpensive because the quality isn't great. We paid for mowing & trimming service. Most…read moreweeks, they never even took the weed-whacker out of the truck (and it was definitely needed). After several weeks of watching them closely to make sure we just weren't missing it, we politely asked if we misunderstood the services we were paying for and they responded by denying they neglected the weed-whacking and cancelled our service all together because the yard was too "bumpy." Perhaps they shouldn't have been mowing over the ONE tree our yard has and used a weed-whacker over the roots instead? If you want cheap, go with Highwood. If you want quality professionals, look elsewhere.

While his prices can be competitive, his overall business practices are poor.

Read the reviews below this, everyone describes the same interaction we had with Diego and Jay. They were "On time, attentive, listens, helpful, experienced, and most importantly, "fair priced." We had a large Maple in our front yard that was diseased and a disaster waiting to happen. I contacted several local tree services, some who didn't even care to respond, Diego and Jay came right out and took the time to listen to our concerns and then shared their plan for removal and cleanup from beginning to end. The job was started and completed when promised, cleaned each day, and picked up when finished. The quality of work far exceeded our expectations. Whether you call them first or call them last, just be sure you call Sharpe Blades Tree Services of South Windsor and you will be glad you did!

Three very large oak trees had extensive growth extending over my roof. My insurance company had demanded that they be trimmed back. In addition, a gutter downspout was draining directly onto my driveway which they wanted me to redirect. Chris and his crew trimmed the trees exactly as discussed. He was able to set up his equipment in my driveway so as to traverse all areas and trim trees in the front of the house. He used a ladder and ropes to get up to trim tree branches in the backyard. There was no damage to my yard. All fallen branches were put in a wood chipper and carted away. the yard was raked clean. It was cleaner when they left than before they arrived. Chris brought a section of gutter with him which he used to redirect water from my driveway. I was both surprised and pleased. Cost for the above was very reasonable.

I gave them multiple chances to correct the issues, and instead of owning their mistakes, they were condescending, dismissive, and completely unprofessional in every interaction. They left my property in worse condition than they found it -- and then had the nerve to send aggressive invoices and pile on late fees for a job they never completed properly. Communication was consistently rude and arrogant. Save yourself the headache -- there are far better, more competent landscapers out there. I would never recommend this company to anyone.

I could not be more disappointed with Collegiate Landscaping. In the fall of 2024, my husband met…read morewith Devon to discuss the best course of action for our front lawn. It was full of green grass, but several types of grass. My husband wanted it all one species. Devon's solution was to kill the whole front lawn and replant, promising some grass before winter and a gorgeous lawn in the spring. We paid $3,000 for this service. Our lawn this spring is almost completely weeds. My husband started leaving messages in April and I've been emailing Collegiate, asking for help. They completely ghosted us. No calls no replies to my email. I do not recommend trusting this company to deliver on their promises. Clearly they took the money and ran, and now we are left with a giant lawn of weeds, much worse than original lawn. I couldn't be more disappointed.

Fortunately they had fallen on the ground, causing no property damage. I called Andrew, of Trout Brook Landscaping to take down the damaged branches. Andrew has done tree removal previously on my property and on my parent's, so I knew he would be the perfect man for the job. Andrew is extremely professional, responsive and skilled in his line of work. He immediately came with his equipment, and took down the heavy tree branch, and he cut down the damaged branches off the dogwood tree. He of course cleaned up all of the tree debris. I highly recommend Andrew of Trout Brook Landscaping. If you need tree removal, or are concerned if your tree might be unsafe for your home, or anything else regarding landscaping. Andrew is the answer in the West Hartford area.

I needed a tree cut down from my front lawn, and got the number from this company from a neighbor…read more I called and asked for a price quote, and someone arrived within 20 minutes to give it to me. The offer was more than fair. Once I confirmed to go ahead with the project, they arrived the same day to do the bulk of the work. The tree was successfully brought down despite there being power lines in the way, with no property damage or any accidents. Some logs were left behind, but they were removed several days later as is often the case with jobs like this. Other than a small divot in the lawn where the tree came down, you'd hardly know the tree had been recently removed. So overall, very happy with the work done. That being said, whenever you hire a contractor to do something like this, always get everything (including the price, timeline, specifics and their signature) written down to cover yourself. I'm not victim-blaming the negative reviews here, but cynicism and paperwork are your friends.

They started work a week early. Even the office manager was responsive and helpful. They showed up with a team of more than 6,7 guys. All nice and waving to my one year old daughter watching in amazement. They had a SUPERVISOR stop by. They cleaned up EVERYTHING they did. They protected my grass with plastic mats. THEY WORKED THEIR BUTTS OFF. They must have burned 5,000 calories each taking my dangerous tree down. I haven't been this impressed by a company from quote to set up to clean up to payment. I keep telling my wife two things. A) I can't believe how good they were and B) how did they really remove the stump that well? I'm basically in shock at how lucky I got finding this company. Thank you to Celio and your crew. Fantastic job. If you're anywhere near West Hartford get one quote from this company and be done.
