Worked with me on different options. Settled on some stone and metal edging. Added some seeding and additional edging around some trees. The crew showed up and did an amazing job. Due to some roots they were unable to add the metal edging around the trees. Got some different options and went with some stone work which was done so beautifully. The crew also noticed the new deck that was built for the pool was built very poorly and suggested I contact the construction company. I did on their suggestion and the construction company admitted to their poor build and decided to rip it down and rebuild with new material and a new crew. Lawn and Order saved me a huge problem with their suggestions. I already have a few more projects in mind and I will be using Lawn and Order. These guys are AMAZING.

Formal Warning Regarding John (Mac) Bellingrath (Bellingrath Bros. Landscape & Design, Newington,…read moreCT): In August 2024, we entered into a contract with John (Mac) Bellingrath for a backyard renovation, paying approximately 95% of the total cost upfront--an error in judgment we fully acknowledge. The contract established clear completion deadlines for early September 2024, with allowances for minor delays. In the several months that followed through April 2025, Mr. Bellingrath repeatedly failed to meet numerous promised completion dates, including a final, "guaranteed" deadline of January 7, 2025. Despite our sustained good-faith efforts to allow him to meet his contractual obligations, he engaged in an ongoing pattern of project abandonment, unprofessional communication, substandard workmanship, and repeated false assurances. Ultimately, due to Mr. Bellingrath's continuous non-performance, escalating safety concerns, and deteriorating conduct, we were left with no choice but to formally terminate our relationship with him on April 1, 2025. The situation escalated to such an extent that police assistance was required to escort him on and off our property to retrieve his remaining equipment. Mr. Bellingrath's complete lack of professionalism, accountability, and competence turned our project into a nightmare. He repeatedly abandoned work, delivered subpar craftsmanship, and caused extensive damage--showing zero regard for our property or safety. A few examples include: * Repeated Abandoned Work & Safety Hazard: He dug an 80-foot trench for electrical conduits across our backyard and disappeared for weeks. In numerous occasions, Mr. Bellingrath left our backyard a dangerous construction site littered with heavy stones, machinery, and debris--forcing us to keep our children away. * Poor Work & Property Damage: Mr. Bellingrath sent an unqualified worker to handle critical tasks like building our patio, installing steps, and adding a rodent exclusion barrier. The result? A sloppy, unacceptable mess that required constant oversight. To make matters worse, this worker damaged our house siding. * Negligence & Destruction: Mr. Bellingrath's team repeatedly drove heavy machinery/vehicles over our front lawn--an area not even part of the job--destroying our front yard we worked hard to maintain. * Known to Authorities: Mr. Bellingrath's history of issues isn't unique to us. The West Hartford Police Department and town officials are well aware of the complaints against him. There is much more to say about this, but we'll stop here. Beyond our personal experience, we have been contacted by other clients reporting similar grievances, including significant upfront payments for unfinished work and long delays exceeding several months. It is evident that Mr. Bellingrath's conduct constitutes a serious breach of contract, a disregard for professional standards, and raises broader concerns for consumer protection. Mr. Bellingrath continued operation poses a significant risk to other unsuspecting clients and we urge anyone considering hiring him to exercise extreme caution and due diligence.

The experience we had collaborating with Jeremy and the Sensible Home Products (SHP) team was…read moreoutstanding and one beyond anything we could have imagined. In fact, we have never had a better experience with any contractor or company, of any type, than what we had with SHP. Trust, transparency, and talent are three essential elements that drive a fantastic customer experience. Jeremy demonstrated a level of trust that gave us comfort that the needed improvements made to our 90-year-old home, were appropriate and that the house would be safe, secure, and visually pleasing for future generations. This trust emerged from the initial quote that described the specific steps SHP would follow, to leaving the work area, every day, as spotless as when the team showed up, to traveling to the Boston area for a door that was not available at a store in Connecticut, to creatively and thoughtfully solving the issues and challenges the house threw at SHP, to taking every requested addition to the project with a can do attitude. In a nutshell, the SHP focus was ensuring that the improvements to our house would stand the test of time, and that the work was completed with care and dedication as if we were part of Jeremy's family. Jeremy was transparent about the daily work. He sent us pictures of the progress made and of the structural issues that were uncovered. Although we would have wished wood rot, roof leakage, water damage and termite damage did not exist, they did. Because Jeremy provided the daily updates, he was able to share why the improvements were needed and important. He always answered my questions clearly and concisely. The SHP billing approach was clear so there were never any surprises. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonably the project ended up costing. Observing Jeremy and the SHP teamwork was amazing. I have never seen such a talented, dedicated, caring, and creating team. They worked with amazing efficiency and effectiveness. I can attest, based on other projects we have taken on, this project would have taken much longer than the five short weeks (including Christmas and below freezing temperatures) this took. The quality of their work was remarkable and the pride in their workmanship was always evident. The extra touches he included in the project and the counsel he provided gave us 100% confidence that he would do what was right and that he, and SHP, would go above and beyond. The house is beautiful, and Jeremy and SHP will always hold a place in our hearts. They are an absolute gift, and they are now considered part of our family. I did not know Jeremy before this project, but I now count him as a friend. Going forward, we will call Jeremy and SHP first and we will know that he will care for us and for our house as if it was his own.

We were shocked to receive an estimate of $5,600. There were many extraneous charges. The biggest "add on" was for the cost of ripping up the sub-floor, which they said was particle board, and installing a new subfloor prior to installing the wood floor. My husband and I pulled the rug up and discovered a solid subfloor made of wood. When we eventually had other companies give us estimates, we were told that the subfloor was fine. We had the same quality hardwood (maple) floor installed for $3,000 less than the estimate provided by FloorsNow. Our new floor is beyond beautiful.
