I was very pleased with the communication and the accuracy of the estimate, which ended up being our total cost and under our budget. He's very easy to work with, and extremely professional. We'd hire him for future work that we need done around the property and would recommend him, without hesitation, to our friends or family. If you're looking to get the kind of work done that they're capable of, give him a call or send him a message.

Because of the high quality of their work and great customer service Mark Swicewood, Cort Tangeman…read moreand the team at Just My Style Landscape Service, Inc. (JMS) just completed a second project for us and they, once again, did a fantastic job. Our project list this time included: 1). Extending the natural stone pathway and steps they did in our backyard last summer. 2). Paver extensions to both sides of our driveway (so we don't step out of a vehicle into pine straw or grass). This required the removal of a large crepe myrtle and removal or moving of some bushes. Because we had a buried downspout pop up drain alongside the driveway JMS offered several options for how to deal with it and keep the water away from the house. We chose having the pop up moved out closer to the curb. 3). Removal of our old concrete sidewalks replacing and widening them with pavers. Additionally, along with the driveway extensions the pavers were also extended out to the curb so we don't have to walk in the grass to check the mailbox. 4). Installing some retaining walls and sandstone loose fit edging installed around all the planting areas. To complicate the work the JMS team had to work around pre-existing irrigation system valve wiring, piping, drip system tubing and sprinkler heads as well as low-voltage lighting fixtures and wiring. They did an outstanding job of rerouting, moving/replacing and/or repairing all the buried pipes, sprinkler heads and wiring and when they were finished everything was as good as new and looked great. Just as before, during the installation, Cort handled some small specific requests and we really appreciate his attention to detail and consistently superior customer service. He even took some photos for us of portions of the install he knew we were especially interested in. Mark Swicewood, Cort Tangeman, and the whole team from JMS were once again exceptional to work with - just as they did on our previous project they answered all our questions, offered expert advice and suggestions, and followed up on even the smallest detail. They coordinated with us about the progress of the work and cleaned up every day before they left. Both times we've worked with JMS we've received top-notch workmanship, excellent attention to even small details, and superb customer service. It is unbelievably hard to find reliable, customer-oriented contractor s who deliver what they promise - Just My Style Landscape Services is a company you can trust. We highly recommend them for any landscaping needs. In fact, we're already thinking about possible ideas for a third project next year.

Our experience with this company was not good. Probably their work is great. But know ahead of time…read morewhat you are paying for. We asked them what the charge was for them to do a design for a front sidewalk. Mark, the owner, said it was $500 for a design plan for the walkway only. I have this on an email, so this was some miscommunication. We set up an appt and mark came to meet us, look at the project. he did not tell us that there was a charge, also for the first initial appt. He mentioned a few vague ideas- you could put your sidewalk here.... it can curve. Ok, it was some ideas. he did not measure or do anything other than talk. He was constantly looking at his watch, as if to signal us, that he was wasting time, and he needed to move on. after about 45 min, Mark said, he needed to collect $125 from me, "for the consultation. " We gave him a check, for $125, but we were amazed, that he did absolutely nothing. No measuring, no working on a plan or an estimate. We called three other companies who all came, measured, gave us their time, and charged nothing for that. I contacted mark, and told him i felt this charge was not earned, because 1) he said nothing about it initially. and 2) he did not really advance the project, or give us anything we could use. He declined returning the $125 fee, because he said, he "spent his time there. ". Thats what was required of any company who gives an estimate, or an initial consultation. I would say, go with someone else. These guys are a bit full of their full of their own importance.

In March 2024, I contracted A1 Grading, owned by Dwayne Burrell, to clear a 15-acre road (approx…read more 1.3 acres) and a one-acre lot for the construction of my new home. The total contract price for the road was $28,998.28, and for the one-acre lot to build my house was $8,187.18. I paid deposits and installment payments as requested, totaling more than $37,000. The agreement included clearing the road, installing pipes and riprap, compacting the base, and, importantly, hauling all debris either by grinding or by using the one-acre lot for safe burning. Dwayne repeatedly delayed, giving various excuses. He claimed conditions were too dry, that he needed permits, or later that "leaves had to fall" before burning. He burned the debris from the one-acre lot, did very minimal grading, but the large piles of tree debris and stumps from the road clearing--present since May 2024--were never removed or burned as agreed. One pile is over a story tall. Now that my home is being built, I received an estimate of $15K to haul the huge piles because of his deceit, lies, and dishonesty. Throughout this process, I accommodated his delays, made payments on time, and communicated consistently. Dwayne, however, failed to follow through with the contract terms. He requested that I pay him the remaining balance minus $500. I told him there was no way I would pay him that. I paid him too much already. On October 7, 2024, he claimed the project was complete and demanded final payment, even though the road debris was still on my property. Removing the debris was one of the main reasons I contracted with him. I informed him that the final payment would not be made until the work was completed in full. Since then, I have had no communication from him, and nearly two years later, the debris remains, leaving me with an incomplete project despite significant payments. Everyone asks me who left that crap on my road and state A1 GRADING, WENDELL, NC, DWAYNE BURRELL. Dwayne has proven unreliable, has failed to honor the contract, and has not returned to finish the job. I would never ever recommend him for any job. He is someone who does not take pride in his work. He is a con man! He should be on worst pros in town!

Dwayne picked up when called A-1 Grading. I told him my concern and that I wanter an estimate and…read morehim to look at my yard and tell me what to do about my empty yard that flooded. It is about a 1/3 of an acre and a corner lot. Dwayne set an appointment to give me an estimate. He arrived 5 minutes early for the appointment just two days later. After we walked the property he recommended he install drainage all around my home to lead the water away from my foundation and change the direction of the grade to lead the water away as well. I mentioned to him I wanted to get it done soon. So we agreed on a start date and arrived with his equipment and completed the job in two days, installing drainage pipes on the down spouts and changed the grade of my property. So that I have a more attractive well drained yard. Gone is the 12 foot wide 2 foot deep stream of water during the Spring and Fall. Which used to be the wet seasons. I highly recommend you deal with this company they good people. They were dependable, respectful and did an excellent job.

I checked his references and felt confident he could do the work and do it for a good price. He painted the whole interior of my house, soft washed the exterior, fixed and stained the deck and tackled a huge 1 acre mess of landscaping. He went above and beyond and after the ceilings presented a challenge, he took a few extra days and made sure they were done right. He sent videos of all his work after completion. This was all done sight unseen, via calls, texts, and emails. I never met him. I trusted him from 3000 miles away and he came through! Definitely recommend.

He came out with his team. Assessed the roof and identified what needed to be done. He even took pictures to show me what he saw. He then walked me through what he was going to do and the services he offered. I asked him for a formal quote, and I received it a few hours later. I vetted 7 companies and chose him. The biggest reason the other 6 didn't want to come out to see what the job really was. After he completed the work, he took pictures of EVERYTHING he did and took the time to explain it to me. I absolutely would hire this guy again. I'm going to have him out in later November to clear all the gutters and then probably have him out when my house reaches the 10-year mark to do 10-year maintenance. I would give him six stars if I could.

The owner Sotero responded to my request for quote very promptly. I hired his company to clean my gutters. He promised to arrive at 9am on a Saturday and he arrived at 9 am sharp ! He did a fantastic job, he climbed on the roof and made sure not only the gutters were clean but the entire roof. He also blew all the leaves on my driveway on my walkway, left everything looking really nice !! He even cleaned the gutters and blew the roof on my backyard shed. He even noticed that there was a small hole on my roof shed and he repaired it without me even asking !!! Furthermore I can tell that he is very knowledgeable about roofs as he was able to give me a lot of advice about how to properly take care of my roof. Finally the price was very reasonable. I'd rather support a family business that one of those large companies that will end up subcontracting work to someone else. So I will be calling Sotero for all my roofing needs ! ( now if someone knows a mechanic that is reasonable and that you can really trust, let me know please..... lol ).
