Do not trust this company for any type of lawn care, yard work, pavement, debris haul-away, or…read moreother projects. While they communicate politely through Yelp, the quality of their work is extremely poor and disorganized--even with a written contract. They changed the project start and end dates three times, each time offering a different excuse. After multiple follow-ups, they finally started the job but failed to complete it as agreed. They requested a deposit upfront, which I unfortunately paid. After that, they stopped showing up and continued to make excuses without finishing the work. In conclusion, I strongly advise against hiring this company. Never pay a deposit to any contractor until the project is completed to your satisfaction.

Spotting the glowing review of Naper's hair guru, Niki Moon (along with a host of other very happy…read morecustomers), I zeroed in on this landscaping business over the winter. I didn't even bother contacting anyone else. I was so set on Matt doing my space that I emailed him in January, making sure that I would be near the top of his list. Understanding that they're a boutique sized design company, I knew that wait times could pile up in a hurry, so I did not drag my feet to contact him. --I wanted my house on his radar before he was slammed with inquiries! I was lying in bed at night, obsessing about my yard in December so no way was I going to procrastinate getting on his schedule. I couldn't afford to lose sleep all summer as I waited my turn! FYI: Don't be afraid to contact him about small projects. I have a fairly small front yard and was initially worried that he wouldn't want to take on a smaller scale project, but he assured me that size wouldn't deter him. The benefit of emailing him well before spring was that I heard back from him immediately. If the glowing reviews hadn't already sealed the deal, his personable responses certainly did. I could tell immediately that he was someone I would enjoy working with. My gut feeling was not wrong. I have had multiple projects running back-to-back and have been dealing with a plethora of people. Matt and his crew were the most professional and most enjoyable people (by far) to work with. And my yard.... my yard is gorgeous. I can't believe what an impact even a small space can make! I'm so happy with every detail of my dealings with him and his crew that I'm hiring him next year for my backyard. And yes, I'll probably start talking to him about it over the winter. After all, patience is not my virtue.

This is an update to my previous review based on my concerns about the downspout drainage they…read moreinstalled. I would give them 5 stars for pavement work and 1.5 stars for drainage. I stand behind my original review with regard to the paver patio that they installed and the landscaping work they did, it was quality work. I would not hesitate to use them again for paver work but if downspout drainage were involved I would be very careful that expectations are clearly discussed and included in writing. When discussing with Tom (the estimator and foreman) I think I was clear that drainage was an important part of the project for me but I don't think that information was conveyed to Brian. I didn't know much about drainage at the time but I knew I wanted to get water from the downspouts away from the foundation. what they did was install 6" corrugated pipe running from the downspout underground and then back up to the surface and ending with a grate. Because it is solid pipe it forms a sort of trap where there is always water in the pipe. This is a problem because in the summer because of a possible breeding ground for mosquitoes and in the winter time it will freeze solid and there will not be anyplace for the melt water from the roof to drain. After much research on the subject and realizing that what Countywide Landscaping installed was not done properly for winter climates I called Brian to explain my concerns. He basically told me that it was fine, he's never had a problem doing it this way for years and even though I told him I was willing to pay for the work, but hoped for consideration of cost because it wasn't done right the first time, he told me there was nothing he could do so I was on my own to fix the problem. I did fix the problem by digging up the pipe myself where it came to the surface and extending it horizontally so it comes out the side of a slope and will not trap water. Needless to say I didn't have kind thoughts about County Wide as I was digging the trench myself with shovel and pick axe.
