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.

We wanted several retaining walls in our very sloped backyard, which falls into a small creek in…read moretown, near 5th Street Area. We interviewed three companies and Alex came in the middle with high quality stone, others were $$$ (thousands) higher or lower with either landscape timber (not long term) or old school cinder block. Very responsive, returned emails, worked with hubby for details. Started right away. The walls are BEAUTIFUL, both exactly where we wanted and mostly to the scale we want. Took a little over a week, guys (team of 3) came on time every day, even weekend to finish around rain. Big project! Only concern AND comment was the cleanup. Guys tried to put damaged front lawn back, did reseed and give us extra seed and straw. BUT feel if this is a lawn care company, preferred to have ruts in yard, from use of heavy equipment, leveled out, and help with more reseed as we had to finish the rest ourselves. So a bit disappointed in final cleanup. Quality of work is excellent and walls look just like we expected. (hubby will be adding to lower wall, himself, to get a bit more length as we had expected it to be taller overall, not just a bump in middle - a 16" wall should be at least 14" feet high everywhere not just 8" bump in middle.) Would definitely recommend them, Alex, just be firm and keep an eye on finishing and communicate that from beginning.

Almost 7 years ago my wife- Linda, Mom- Anne, and I moved into The Orchard Apartment Homes. Words…read morecan't express the joy and excitement of finding such an amazing place that had everything you would want compared to owning without the maintenance and responsibilities. Amenities like garden plots that were tilled yearly, a refreshing pool open all year, well maintained gas grills with tanks readily available when they were empty, beautifully maintained grounds, and a wonderful dog park with artificial turf. The other thing that made us so elated was that we could beautify and decorate our place the way we wanted to make it truly our home if appropriate and didn't upset the neighbors. Unfortunately, in the past few years all that has changed. Well the pool is still open all year, for now anyways. We are only allowed a mat and a wreath for decorations, the grounds are no longer beautiful or properly kept, the grills are not maintained and tanks are always empty, the garden is a joke, dog park is in disrepair, dog receptacles are constantly overflowing, and there is always litter and dog waste all over the complex. What's so disheartening is there are many residents like us that love and care about our home and have sent requests to address these issues only to have them discarded or marked completed when nothing was done. I believe the majority of the blame falls on Blue Ridge Companies, who own and manage the property, but it seems that the office and/or maintenance staff either no longer cares or are forced not to care about our needs The Orchard Apartment Homes are listed as luxury living and when we first moved in I would totally agree with that statement. However, not anymore. I encourage friends, family, and other residents who see this post to please share to bring our beloved complex back to the way it was. If anyone from the media is interested in learning more, I would be happy to share more details since there is so much more to this story.

The men showed up at an agreed time and worked diligently until the project was completed . The problems started when some of the plants and trees became diseased and started dying. After less than a year a $500 magnolia tree started losing all its leaves Cindy came to our home to look at the tree and said that see would get back to us but never did ! Bella Terra also planted five Skip Laurel for $800 and they started dropping leaves in less than a year and I asked Cindy to check on them and she stated that she didn't know what the problem was and that I should contact a tree company to determine what the problem was ! I was able to figure the problem out on my own after which I determined the problem was shot hole disease. I'm writing this review because we are not the only ones in the Spring Creek community that have used Bella Terra and have had the same problems with them standing behind their workmanship. I'm sure that if contacted Bella Terra would falsely claim that we did follow their after planting instructions which couldn't be further from the truth because I went above and beyond the instructions that were given to me.
