The staff is well organized, thorough and very precise!

Let me start by saying that the only reason that they even get a single star is because the end…read moreproduct that I asked for turned out to be a nice addition to my property. With that said, the rest of this review will be largely negative for a variety of reasons that I will describe below. Let's get the positives out of the way. The person who took the initial measurements of the property was personable and professional. In addition, as mentioned above, the actual outcome (a walkway) ended up being pretty nice. Now for the negatives, which make up the majority of my experience with this company. 1) scheduling: when I made the decision to go with them, I asked them when the work would be started. Their response - call us back in 3 weeks or so and we'll see if you're on the calendar yet... What good looks like to me is that they tell me a target, and then get in touch with me regularly as we get closer to the date. In addition, even though they eventually told me the date, they showed up unannounced two weeks early (no joke - they just showed up, assuming it was ok to get started...). To add to that, they didn't finish the first day, and said they'd be back the next day. Well, they didn't show up, so I had to call the office...again... They ended up coming the following day. 2) the job site: there are too many problems to list here, but I'll do my best. First, they dug up a bunch of dirt for the walkway, and they just threw it on the grass surrounding the area. So much that I had to replant grass seed in the area. Second, for a company with "garden" in their name, they sure do seem clueless in terms of how to work a garden. Specifically, they dug up parts of our garden, and, instead of putting it back, they just placed the dug-up plants on top of the dirt (vs. replanting them). In addition, they tossed a bunch of dirt on top of the newly mulched garden area... Third, when digging, they cut an exposed root to a tree in the yard. I guess we'll see in about 7-9 months if the tree survived... Finally, they went in my fenced-in back yard for some reason. Well, instead of closing the gate when they left, they left it wide open, which would be fine if I didn't have kids and several animals who roam the backyard... 3) communication: last but not least, their communication was quite subpar. Aside from the scheduling mishaps, they were unresponsive to email, and messed up my final invoice (added a line item for a $750 project they didn't do...). Overall, this was a poor experience. I would strongly recommend against anyone doing business with this company. Keep looking - you can thank me later.

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.
