Complete Waste of Money - All Three Projects Had to Be Fully Redone…read more I'm writing this review to help other homeowners avoid the significant time and money I wasted, as well as the frustration I experienced with Travers Construction. After my father passed away over three years ago, I hired them for a basement water penetration project because he had trusted and used them for years. I assumed I could trust them too. That project was the beginning of the end. It was clear that water was coming up through the foundation at the front of the property... they insisted that digging a trench about 15 feet from the house and filling it with stone was what needed to be done to fix the issue. I asked them whether this would just result in groundwater building up against the foundation as the path of least resistance, but they insisted that wasn't true -- and that is exactly what happened. At the time I didn't have experience with these types of repairs, so I trusted their recommendation. They backfilled the trench with stone right up to grade and laid the grass directly on top of the stone with no dirt or topsoil. The grass died because it had nothing to root into. After the very next rain we had more water in the basement than ever before. When the problem persisted and worsened, they washed their hands of it and left. Their so-called repair made the situation worse and was a complete waste of money. Another contractor had to remove all of their work and redo the entire project properly. After this experience I was smart enough not to use them again. Only then did I look back at the earlier projects they had done for my father and realize every single one of them was also complete trash that ultimately had to be removed and redone by another contractor. French drain project (~3 years ago, around the time of my father's passing): The quality of work was awful. No filter fabric was added to the drain and the perforated pipe wasn't even connected. The system was failing less than two years later. It will need to be completely redone in the next few years. It was a complete waste of money. Patio / backyard foundation project (~14 years ago): They were hired to eliminate water penetration at the rear foundation of the house. They backfilled with pure clay. The project failed and water intrusion through the foundation started less than 10 years later. The patio had to be removed and the entire project had to be completely redone by another contractor last year. Their work not only failed to solve the water problem -- it was a complete waste of money. In all three projects Travers Construction delivered substandard work using improper materials and techniques. Every job failed, required full removal of their installation, and had to be completely redone from scratch by a different contractor at significant additional cost. They appear to prioritize quick jobs and collecting payment over quality or lasting results, leaving homeowners to pay twice (or more) to fix the problems they created. If you are considering Travers Construction, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. I trusted them when I moved to the area because my father had used them in the past -- and it cost my family substantial time, money, and repeated frustration. Learn from my experience and hire someone else.

Ademire with Moriah and his teams were professional, flexible and respectful throughout the entire process. Ademire answered all of my many questions before we contracted his company, and he communicated promptly in every stage of the project. His crews were on time and worked with us to tailor key elements, such as final grading and sprinkler head positions (thanks, Alex), all with a smile and no skimping on time or materials. A special compliment as well to his plumbing service for expert install of the irrigation back flow valve and to Mass HydroSeed for prompt and friendly service. All in all, we are very pleased and can recommend Moriah Landscaping without reservation.

We provided specifics on the types of plants and shrubs, how much work we would do to maintain them, and the need to avoid attracting deer. What we wound up with was overpriced and underperformed on all dimensions. The big decline in level of service may be due to the company's difficulty in hiring help. Perhaps the company should take on fewer jobs until they can staff up. I would suggest driving around and checking out their work before signing on with them for your landscaping needs.

It was tricky because we have a gravel driveway, but they carefully and expertly moved the snow effectively without disturbing the pebbles. The communication was great and the service rate very reasonable. This was the first time I hired a company to move snow for me, and I feel lucky to have found a good one at the very beginning. This is what their "About Us" says on their website and I feel like that was my experience with them: "Our goal isn't just to make your property look great -- it's to earn your trust with every visit."
