We all know it's very hard to find someone to trust with your homes needs, even harder when out of state... but Josh made it easy. He was friendly, honest and communicative. He was the only one, out of 5 estimates, to FaceTime with me when he had questions and not just text a picture or send a wordy email. Once hired he moved fast! And when the mulch we wanted was out of stock he took pictures of what our other options were, before purchasing or guessing. He also took fantastic after pictures to make sure we had a good feel for what they did and lended advice on how to best maintain it (many would just waited to charge you for another visit not help you understand what your yard needs). Pricing was very fair especially based on the 4 other estimates we received. I appreciated that he itemized each task so we could pick and choose what works best for your budget. Overall I would highly recommend Josh and his crew. I myself won't hesitate to use him again in the future. Please note the large dirt spot in the first pic is awaiting grass so do not judge his work on that spot! I wish I had before pics but as explained we FaceTimed for that. But trust me it was a mess!!!

I needed this area completely uprooted to the dirt and Josh was very knowledgeable on what needed to be done. They did an amazing job and very quickly too! It is better than what I could imagine, and I am more than satisfied with the final product. We will now be hiring them for any landscape projects in the future and sharing their business! Highly recommended

We…read morehired them in the fall to do some work, asking for a low maintenance option for our front and back yard. They completely misled us on the scope of work for the back and planted the front in late fall, just as the weather turned cold. And the cost was astronomical! Now half the plants are dead because of the brutal winter even though I asked them if we were planting too late. And I'm spending all kinds of time and effort to keep the remaining plants alive. Low maintenance my @ss! And in the back, all the weeds and random plants they were supposed to eradicate are all coming back. I cannot stress enough how horrible they are.

I contracted with Hughes to do work on my property to correct drainage problems. We discussed…read morecreating a swale to divert a large flow of water during heavy rainstorms away from my foundation out to a lower elevation in my yard. On the day of the job, the workers found tree roots that blocked them from digging out the swale. No one spoke to me about this. So instead of a swale, they dumped a lot of river rocks and made it look like a swale was there. I got suspicious and cleared away the rocks and found that at most they had cleared away the dead leaves. I contacted Carter Hughes about this and he said, Ya because of the roots we could only do what we could do. I asked Carter to look at it with me, but I never saw him again. So I contacted a tree company to have the tree taken down and remove the tree and take out the roots. Then I contacted Carter again and asked that once I had the tree out, he should send someone to complete the swale work. After a while going around and around with him on the phone, I realized he had no intention of completing the work, and it was useless asking. I don't believe that just putting the rock down to look like a swale and then never mentioning to me about the problem with the roots was at all an open way to do business.

Update: A week or so after posting my initial review, the owner, John Hughes, reached out to me and…read moreoffered to "make it right" in exchange for me writing an updated review for Hughes. I was skeptical, because it was very clear to me that in his mind, the review was the problem (as opposed to my overall customer experience), but I eventually agreed. With John overseeing the project, my yard now reflects what my original expectations were. He manicured the bushes in my back yard beautifully - quickly, accurately, and non-invasively. I was floored at how expertly the work was done and how efficiently everything went. The communication level was good, and he was pleasant throughout the work. He showed up with his team the morning the work was scheduled, and explained to me that the sod could not be cut and installed until the day after (due to heavy rains), and would it be okay to come by and install it tomorrow? Thank you for the notice, and yes, certainly! :) In my front yard, which is patchy due to water damage, they installed the sod, and the yard looks really good now. They installed mulch around my front tree, and it looks very picturesque. I would not hesitate to contact John Hughes for another project if it came up. Thanks, John!

Then we called C&G Masonry who promptly returned our call and sent us a reality-based estimate for repairing our flagstone walk. The crew showed up on time and skillfully completed the work. Our walk and portico look fantastic. C&G Masonry is a reliable and honest company with professional masonry workers who are also a pleasure to work with. They are a great resource for homeowners!
