I knew when I hired Arun that he'd charge me more than most other companies. I hired him 9 yrs ago…read moreand have since hired many others who were cheaper. I saved money with the others; however, I also never got the attention to detail that I wanted. I was always disappointed with the end result. After neglecting my landscaping all summer, there was a lot of work to do to prepare for winter. Deadheading a ton of plants, cutting Ivy back from my house and trees, trimming tree branches away from my house, shaping my boxwoods, and removing tons of leaves because I live in an established neighborhood filled with huge trees... it was way more work than I have the capacity to do. Arun gave me an estimate of $1700. I knew it would be high, but it was even higher than expected. I considered going back to one of my previous landscapers, but ultimately, I wanted my property to be done exactly as I wanted it. I didn't want the snow to melt in the spring and be faced with landscaping that still needed more work. My yard looks amazing. It was everything I wanted it to be. Yes, it cost more, but I got what I paid for

We screened several contractors before deciding on Sweeny's and it is one of the best decisions we have made. I highly recommend them!

Hands down Jerry Gould and his crew for the win! Why do you ask? We had 2 different landscaping…read moreservices to help design or implement what was in my head as I was physically unable to do so, and the hubs, well I adore him just as he is. Anyhow, landscaping services are basically maintenance and will do what you ask. I had an idea in my head of what we (read what I) wanted, and needed someone to be honest with what was doable, and how much maintenance I really wanted outside spring and fall. We had paid 2 other landscape designers for plans, neither hit the mark. Out of desperation I did a Google search. Some wouldn't work with us for under 50K, claimed was doing homes in our neighborhood for 100K+. We're not taking a loan out for landscaping! Anyhoo, Jerry was on my list. I haven't seen him around like others with trucks and such over the years, and I'm SO sorry it took so darn long. My neighbors were not happy with the sad shape of landscaping we tried to install over the last few years, so we needed to do something. Long story, bear with me as landscaping is permanent and expensive. Jerry comes along. Listens to my crazy ideas. Asks me how much personal time I want to maintain or pay for weekly maintenance, very little to none I said. He adapted what I wanted to something that was doable and freaking beautiful! Not only that, what he couldn't use of what we had up front, he set up in our sad looking yard, and my breath was taken away. Simple, but beautiful and now I can easily build upon myself. But I'm wiser now, so will call Jerry back. I drove home the opposite way for weeks just so I could take a good long look at all that was done. I couldn't look at it enough! Money definitely well spent! He has before pictures as well as after, and I see what it looks like, and I cringe. Call Jerry. Nice guy. Will work within your budget, won't surprise you with unexpected work orders. Quick and clean subcontractors. Highly recommend. Any questions, please ask. This guy and his ideas are spot on, amd won't require a 2nd mortgage on the house! #teamjerry #jgouldlandscapingrocks
