In my opinion, I would avoid this company. We chose them because they were the lowest bid, and now…read moredeeply regret our decision. First, we solicited bids last Fall ('16). We had a second baby due on Christmas and were hoping for the project to be complete before the baby came. Upgrade assured us this would not be a problem and promised to have the job finished by December 31, 2016. However, work did not commence until February '17. The project included (in part) installation of raised beds, grading, sod preparation, and formation of an area to install a children's playscape. During the bid process, Upgrade came out to review the backyard and we discussed our general plan. Upgrade recommended that they install a woven fabric weed barrier in the playscape section, to be covered with cedar mulch. Within this section is a gorgeous, one-of-a-kind dogwood. This dogwood serves as the centerpiece of the backyard and is supposed to offer shade for the play area. However, just recently, the dogwood's leaves started turning brown. It is clear that the dogwood is dying. I did some research online and it appears that these woven weed barriers apparently destroy the soil (oxygen depletion, etc.). We had no idea, as we totally relied on the apparent expertise of Upgrade. We are doing all we can to save the tree, but it might be too late. In my opinion, a landscape contractor would (or should) know the damage of a weed barrier installed all around a tree. They did not and it has been awful. At this point, we are not confident that Upgrade would fix this problem. Why? Because there are multiple other problems that were addressed but never fixed (i.e. all talk, no action). We notified Upgrade of these glaring defects and the owner, Chris, came out. Chris confirmed the problems and explained that the project supervisor had committed many errors in the past, committed errors on our job, and had since been terminated by Upgrade. Chris confirmed that the grade work conducted by Upgrade was defective and leading to water running into the garage foundation. He promised to remedy this defect. I called on multiple occasions to see about this issue. Nothing happened. I also notified Chris that Upgrade had transferred a significant amount of clay and rocks from one side of the yard to the other side (as part of building the retaining wall). Upgrade promised to remove this rock and clay (or cover it with proper soil) at a later date so we could lay sod. As part of the bid process, Upgrade gave us a quote for sod installation. However, they never returned any inquiries about performing this part of the job and left part of the yard untenable for sod installation. During his visit, Chris admitted that the soil was unacceptable and promised to fix this defect. Nothing was fixed. We also hired Upgrade to select and install an irrigation system for a series of raised garden beds and turf zones. The nozzles were wrongly installed in the grass/turf section, leading to the water being sprayed over the fence into neighbors yards. The initial garden irrigation lines were woefully insufficient and did not provide adequate coverage for the garden plants. In addition, we also hired Upgrade to install a RainBird control panel. However, the RainBird was not wired and did not function. Chris confirmed and admitted these mistakes and promised to remedy these defects. It took weeks for Upgrade to return, but to their credit, they eventually came back to wire the RainBird, fix the turf nozzles, and attempted to fix the garden irrigation lines. Unfortunately, the garden lines repeatedly disconnected at the connections, leaving the lines to just blast water directly into the air. Bottom line: Upgrade (and owner Chris) were professional enough to come out and see the problems in person. But this took WEEKS and multiple requests. And when they finally came back to repair some of the defects, those repairs fell short. Yes they wired the RainBird, yes they fixed the nozzles, and yes they attempted to fix the garden irrigation. But they failed to remedy the more significant problems (grade, untenable soil). They promised that they would return to remedy the problems. That did not happen. I have zero confidence that any further conversations with Upgrade would result in them fixing the problems that the owner himself admitted and promised to fix. They refused to come fix problems that the owner promised to fix himself - I can't see how this dogwood issue would be any different. Thus, at this point, I simply wanted to convey my experience and opinions and caution potential customers of using this company.
