After over a year of using Acres Landscaping, I'm finding myself holding one of Crozet's best kept…read moresecrets, close to my grass. It's time to open a fresh cut review for them. First and foremost, you are here trying to find a landscaper who has incredible knowledge minus the cheese car sales-man Carl showing up at your house, trust me, I know, and it has been a feat. I've used multiple landscapers and I have found they always have a way to "upsell" me. I was exhausted over the pitches, disappointed in the lack of follow up, and questioning their pricing and tactics. Silly grasshoppers.. The grass is truly greener with Acres Landscaping,.. He is extremely detail-oriented, honest, and his follow up is impeccable. His prices are fair, he listens to your needs, and then actually delivers on them. Acres Landscaping is full service. You name it, he'll do it: mow and trim, blow your driveway and walkways (you can't forget about this detail), knock down the spider webs around your front door like a junior fireman with in the web of Spider-Man was chasing him (literally), remove and dispose of thorn bushes, and questionable vines. Mitch, who is patient, listens to the needs of what I see, and guides and gives me feedback on the things I have no idea about. For example; I was looking at the leaves still on my yard after winter ( asking for "spring clean up" ). Totally forgetting how we had prepped with mulch and trimming at the end of fall and feeling so reassured that a quick run over the yard will naturally compost the yard and look beautiful for us!! Next, I felt it was such a 'blade' of delight on how he never pressures me to change things and will guide over time to allow things to fit a budget. I have some bare grass spots, and he had listened to my concerns, gave me wonderful options in a range of price points and reassured me in landing the recommendations in an email for me. Finally, he has always anticipated the grassy needs, while placing the stacks of green aside. Last summer, due to it being so dry, he did not just "stick to the schedule". Instead, he communicated with me, let me know he didn't feel there was a need ( nothing was growing ), and kindly circled back in follow up in the weeks afterward. Could he have charged me? Yes. Could he have stuck to the schedule? Yes. Fact is, he didnt, not for one week, but for THREE. Mitch is the man with the plan. His timing, creativity and effort are beyond measure, each and every time! Never leaving anything less than perfection. He's meticulous in his detail of attending to all things landscaping. May your green blades of glory soar to new grassy fullness in their confidence of having Acres Landscaping by their side. Your grass will fly sky high and give your neighbors envy while they stand there in awe.

The Barn Swallow is a great place where you can find unique gifts for a friend or family member who…read morehas unique and impeccable taste (a baby boomer who owns a nice lodge in the mountains, or a horse ranch and a winery; a gen-xer who just wants to be appreciated; or a millennial who likes everything handcrafted by local artisans). I first bought some non-gmo honey. I asked how they determine if their honey is non-gmo, which is a trick question of course. The nice lady in the store said the bees can only travel within a 2 mile radius (they don't go that far or they die), then they go back to their base camp to make honey. Within that 2-4 miles, there should be no gmo plants (like gmo corn) they could come in contact with or else the honey wouldn't be non-gmo, of course. The pottery and artwork are something I would want to display in my own home. If sky is the limit, I would buy that $400 salad bowl carved from a tree stump. Also, I love those pots that look like it was inspired by Gustav Klimt, in my opinion. I also love the handcrafted jewelry. During my first visit, I thought I would be able to find their merchandise somewhere else or online, but I found myself coming back. It's a wonderful and creative shop/boutique. Almost like an art gallery, without being pretentious.

Time after time, I have been impressed with the services provided by JW Townsend. In the past I…read morehave had other landscaping companies come to my estate and do horticulture services, but nothing compares to Townsend. The amount of Horticulture knowledge within this company is like no other, and truly shows. I recommend this company over any of the others located in the Charlottesville area.

Our experience with JW Townsend was not a good one. After looking over our property, the manager,…read morewho can be quite charming, gave us an estimate of $10,650 just to do yard clean up, trimming and mulching. I asked him to itemize the estimate, and what he presented to me was quite general and not very professional. That should have been the indicator I needed to look elsewhere, but we were in a hurry, so we hired them. They ripped out two kind of perennials from our flower beds and mulched over the bare spots; they didn't trim the hedges they said they would; and they put a bunch of mulch down where we didn't want mulch. When we objected to paying the full amount for such shoddy work, they finally offered to discount the price by $200, but were generally belligerent about it. Please save yourself and find a different landscaper.

The man who "helped" me seemed so annoyed when I asked if he could test the paint color on the lid that I asked if there was a problem. He rolled his eyes and said he didn't have a key.

We are so grateful to have crossed paths with Conor. He and his amazing crew (shout out to Dennis…read moreand Ian!) cleared a bunch of trees for us and created a beautiful driveway with the prettiest, gentle curve -- we just love it! Conor was so helpful through the entire process. We had never done anything like this before, but thank goodness, Conor walked us through each step and took the time to answer every one of our questions. It was clear our land was in great hands. The communication was excellent through the entire process, the crew worked so efficiently, they were always on-time and so professional. It's wonderful to find people who are great at what they do -- it's even better when they're also super nice -- Conor and his crew were so thoughtful and considerate -- they treated our land like it was their own and our lot looked like a park afterwardsReally hope we can have Conor and his team back in the near future, because we definitely have MORE projects we need help with!
