In April 2021, I contacted Sylvan Gardens to obtain an estimate for a new retaining wall and other…read morelandscaping in my front and back yards. The springtime was very busy for landscapers, but the manager James fit in a visit to my house to provide an estimate in early May. A competing company had spent only a few minutes at my house, but James spent about 1.5 hours thoroughly doing measurements and deciding which materials to use. His estimate also was significantly lower than the competitor's, so of course, I hired his company! Because many other customers were in line ahead of me, I had to wait until the end of August and early September for my work to be completed, but that timeline was OK with me. For several days, Sylvan's workers removed my old retaining wall, built a new retaining wall, removed raised flower beds/planter boxes, removed shrubs, planted grass, and put down river rock along a fence. The workers spoke only a little English, but they were very nice, and their work was a high quality. Thanks to their work, my front and back yards now look so much better. In the future, I plan to hire them to build a second retaining wall and to install plants. (James already selected plants that will grow well in my soil and in the sun and shade.)

For the past 3 years, my husband and I have been searching for someone to replace the liner in our…read morewaterfall. Most of the time, our phone calls were not returned. The single quote we did receive was for 10,000! That quote sent a clear message - that business did not want the job. So we let our beautiful pond and waterfall go. Then one day, I rec'd a post card advertisement in the mail for Three Rivers Landscaping. I checked out their website and was impressed by the before & after pictures. Most of the pictures were of larger projects so I was expecting them to tell us our project was too small, but fortunately for us, that was not the case. Within 48 hours Doug came to the house, listened to our ideas and 1 week later we had a quote (very reasonable) and timeline. When we asked about payment, Doug informed us that he wanted no money upfront, that we would pay him when the project was finished! That arrangement alone built trust and confidence that our waterfall was going to be done the right way. On July 14th, our project was complete! Finally, after a 3 year wait, we have our beautiful waterfall back. Doug & Ben Thank you for making our waterfall beautiful again. We are beyond thrilled with the end result, your commitment to getting the job done on time, and your hard work. We appreciate your enthusiasm & creativeness, treating our waterfall as if it was your own. In addition to the work on the waterfall, thank you for serving as exterminator and getting rid of the wasp nest (sorry for the scare). We look forward to having you do work for us again.

The employee was cited by the Franklin Park police department for having a unsecured load as well as driving without proof of insurance.

And driving through Lowelville, and Giant Eagle in Poland, did a Google, and saw Kushner's was very close to our location. Went there, it was after 4pm on a weekday. Was suprised they were even open. Got GREAT personal service, the flowers we got had just been trimmed out. The garden spade and other tools I bought were great quality and very inexpensive. I will be back to buy more plants, and garden type stuff. They have solar lights, trelisses, fountains and pond care accessories. I very strongly reccomend anyone shop here for any gardening needs. And they have more than just plants. Landscaping material, stones bricks statues patio furniture etc. and prices on most items that beat walmart easily. Add in the quality of what they sell, and the honest interest the staff shows for the customer, and you have a place that is exactly what I want when doing something as important as buying plants and landscaping materials for the house, or for your apartment patio or deck.

Michael was exceptionally thorough, thoughtful, and above all honest every step of the way. Also, we never felt pressured -- there was no push to upsell us on anything, only concern that we should get what we wanted. Every aspect of the job he and his team performed was done with extraordinary care and a concern that the job should be done right. For the amount of work involved, we also felt he delivered an excellent value, and his team were friendly and pleasant as well. We would be happy to hire him and his team for future work, and we can wholeheartedly recommend him to others.

They use a leaf blower to clean the lawn, but they blow the grass clippings into the flower beds. The units that have fences complain that when the mowers exhaust the clippings, they stick to the fence and are not blown off by the employees with a leaf blower. Getting anyone to answer a phone call at their office is fruitless. Messages left for our Client Relations Managers go unanswered.

They keep lawn mowers on when crossing the street from Roselawn properties and leave them idling…read morenear front door of our building that houses 5 children. They should let the mowers idle a few seconds when they are on Roselawn side and then shut them off before crossing. It could spew out debris from road and hurt someone. One worker started pushing the industrial size mower up onto truck platform at the same time another one stepped onto the platform. With a bit more thrust to his push he could have seriously injured the second worker. They are the only ones that use leaf blowers in Central Square that is destroying people's hearing. No property manager uses leaf blowers for irrelevant grass clippings which get taken by wind and rain anyways. The Rose Lawn residents don't even walk much on the public sidewalks, they all use their cars. I watched the using them on a cold blustery day for no reason. They were cutting grass in soaking weather and during a wind warning, 50 mph. No herbicides during windy days please!!! Use common sense It's really unbelievable that these hard working guys don't use eye, respiratory and ear protection for all of the above. If they don't care about their health and safety why should they care about ours? They come at 8 am most days and wake up the whole neighborhood for one hour just because Rose Lawn HOA investors want to pretend they are doing the right thing for all the profit they make off of so called "maintenance payments" from. They block parking with their huge truck and wagon in tow. Sometimes less is more. I think they do too much, especially with the leaf blowers

Perkins Tree Service prunes trees, removes trees, and grinds stumps. I have used this business…read moretwice--once to remove my backyard neighbor's tree (yes...) and once to remove four of my trees. In 2021, my backyard neighbor had a tall, dead tree that was near our property line and was very hazardous for several years. On a Friday, I contacted Perkins Tree Service to get an estimate. The owner Tom said that he would arrive for the estimate on a Saturday afternoon. On Saturday, he did NOT show up, so I contacted him, and he changed the appointment to a Sunday morning. On Sunday, Tom gave me an estimate of $875 plus $75 for grinding the stump. He said that he would be available to do the work on Tuesday morning--a wait of only two days! On the Tuesday, four workers from Perkins spent about one hour cutting down the tree. They used ropes and a chainsaw to remove the several large branches and a grinder to remove the stump. They did not damage the nearby fences or any other structures. In 2022, for my four trees, I contacted Tom on a Friday to get an estimate, and he said that he would give an estimate on Saturday or Sunday. He actually came out on Tuesday, and he gave an estimate of $500 to remove four ornamental trees and to grind their stumps. This current job was small, so Tom said that he would not make an appointment for it but would rather fit it in whenever he could in the next 1-2 weeks. Several days later, his crew removed the four trees. They did a very good job, so that only mulch was left behind. They cleaned up debris with a rake, leaf blower, and trash can. I deducted one star from my review because Perkins stood me up twice for estimates and because in 2023, I contacted Perkins again, but they never responded. Furthermore, my next-door neighbor set up an appointment for an estimate with Perkins in 2022, and they did not show up, so he hired a different company.
