I contacted Steve via text and via e-mail very courteously to fulfill the requirement of the warranty on a few rose bushes his team planted for me at our main home that never grew. Four of the ones that he planted for us died. He responded and scheduled a time to come and replace them. On the day he scheduled to come, he called and said that the roses were not in stock and would be the following Monday. I never heard from him the following Monday. His team them abruptly scheduled a date and time to come to plant something that I received via e-mail and didn't know on that date and time either, which was a Sunday afternoon. I kindly parked with flags the plants that needed to be replaced under the warranty from an over $1000 purchase I made on plants. The communication is subpar and I fear they do not want to fulfill the stipulations of the warranty on plants. Beware of this type of interaction and any promise they make on warranty fulfillment when you purchase services from this company.

I'm having erosion and drainage issues on my property and, based on a recommendation on Nextdoor I…read moredecided to contact Shady Grove for an estimate. First they couldn't come out until November (almost 1.5 months) just to do the estimate. Then, they have a $2500 minimum for doing work ("we're a small company", they said). In my particular case the budget/minimum might not be an issue (I don't think it's a small job). Got them to come out next week because my issue is somewhat urgent. About twenty minutes later they called back and said I was already in their database. They don't know why. The last time I had any landscape work done was several years ago, and it was not by Shady Grove. They assure me it's because they've already come out to provide an estimate. But they have no other records. They only have my name and contact information. So, because I'm in their system, they wanted to charge $75 because they "must" have come out before... No thanks. I am an fairly organized person. On a lark I searched my email history and, lo and behold, I find the email thread with Shady Grove. From 2011. Where I *CANCELED* my appointment. So, because of their poor record keeping and a need for $75 not only did they lose an entire project but they also earned a negative review and lost any potential for future work. In the grand scheme of things looking at their other reviews on other sites it's clear that they do quality work. But I can't deal with this kind of silly shenanigans.

We recently hired SG to do some landscaping, hardscaping and water management and drainage design…read moreand they were a dream to work with. They worked with us to create options that balanced cost and complexity, drew out a plan before beginning so we knew exactly what we'd get, and didn't freak out when we asked for changes. They also arrived on time and completed everything according to schedule. What sets SG apart for me, though, is their high level of taste and design and their incredible attention to detail. Whenever Fern saw something that was not up to her exacting standards (even if we thought it was fine) she would have her team break it down and start over. As a result we are extremely happy with the result and recommend them highly. After seeing so many landscaping companies with mixed reviews, I'm really happy we found the gold standard.

Found him (Willy) in the neighborhood working and asked if he could give me a quote for my yard. He…read morecame over and I explained what was needed. He gave me a price then added an extra $35 because the grass was high. Which was fine as I believed he would take care of business, do a good, even cut in the front and back and edge, etc... That wasn't the case. The front yard was incredibly patchy. Not a professional job whatsoever. Also a lot of weeds were left uncut as well as if his equipment wasn't cutting efficiently. He left debris laying around and it should have been removed. All of this and I paid $120. It was a half-ass job. I texted later after giving a thorough look to express my concerns about the work. He promptly replied, if I didn't like his work to find another company. Again, unprofessional. If a client isn't satisfied, you address the issue. Simple. Unfortunately, with so many random people trying to have a business these days, you can't expect them all to navigate with integrity. Best to stick with those you've been referred to by others. And seeing these reviews here speaking about his lack of professionalism, frankly I'm not surprised.

I am new to the area and just called moments ago to make an inquiry about getting lawn care and landscaping. The gentleman who answered said, "We do landscaping but not lawn care." (slow blink) "Lawn care" is IN THE BUSINESS' NAME. i went on to mention that i don't have a real lawn, but shrubs innthe front that need maintenance and grass in the backyard that needs cutting. "Yeah, we only do landscaping and tree removal." Dude: if you think the job us too small, just say so! i cheerily asked if he could recommend someone, and he responded, "Nah, I can't recommend anyone. Sorry." So, you're in the LANDSCAPING BUSINESS, but can't take a moment to recommend *anyone* else in the same business? Ridiculous. Like i said, don't bother calling. In the "Business Photos" they advertise that no job is too big or too small. Lies.
