Our experience with Big Bend Landscaping left much to be desired. Our initial outdoor living space…read moreproject last year took over 6 months for completion. We accepted their proposal in June 2024, making a large deposit for the project to begin. Yet we struggled to get any kind of a project timeline from them and had difficulty getting timely responses. Finally in early November 2024, the project was completed but unfortunately the space couldn't really be used given the weather. In March of this year, we contacted Big Bend Landscaping to inquire about the patio pavers being discolored. After multiple visits by Big Bend Landscaping and representatives from Belgard, we were informed that the pavers were defective and the entire patio needed replacing. We agreed to have the work start in August and we were advised that to ensure no other discrepancies, a supervisor would be onsite the entire time with the crew. In summary, this did not occur. Pavers were delivered without their presence. The following day, the laborers began dismantling the old patio, without supervision, loading huge amounts of pavers into their dump truck, causing multiple cracks to our new concrete driveway. We immediately informed Big Bend Landscaping and were advised that they would either repair or replace the two concrete pads - whatever we wanted them to do. However, when it came time to address it, we were advised that the owner, Joe Francke, refused to pay to have the concrete replaced and that they were not responsible for any damage to our property. Instead, they attempted to repair the cracks which made it look even worse. See the attached photos. We have attempted to communicate with Big Bend Landscaping on this decision and provided them with a quote from our concrete company. However, as was the case with our entire engagement with Big Bend Landscaping, the current owner elects not to respond. There are far too many landscaping companies in the St. Louis area that would love to earn your business and treat you with professional courtesy. This is not one of them.

A master and first class crook! Dishonest, a liar and lacks any integrity and professionalism…read more I hired him for a new system installation. I asked him to hook up the rotorhead at a later time so heavy equipment bringing topsoil don't damage them. He insisted on getting paid in full or he finishes everything then. I reluctantly paid him in full, and when I needed him to come back and install the rotor heads and controller, he would not reply to messages or answer my calls until 5 days later, when his reply came in the form of a text, with a screenshot of the plumber's invoice asking me to pay it (mind you, it was in his name and also overdue) after which he would put me on the schedule and come finish the job. The plumber's fee was clearly part of the total price that he quoted and which he's already received! He clearly was surprised by that bill and thought he would sucker me into paying it. I ended up installing the heads and controller myself, but there was a leak somewhere in the system. I swallowed my pride and reached back out to him because he knew what he put in the ground and should know the anatomy of the system. When I offered to help him by paying half of the plumber's invoice, he agreed to come and gave me a date. At the end of the day he never showed up and never replied anymore. He clearly did the math and decided that it would still be cheaper for him not to show up. It is not worthwhile involving a lawyer, but I will reach out to the BBB and the MO attorney general's office/consumer protection. I would definitely stay away from him. A real low life!

My subdivision hired this company in 2019 to redo the front of our subdivision. Communication with…read morethem has been poor. I left a review at that time, was contacted by a manager and was asked to remove review and took care of our issue. Since then, a few of the plants have died and upon asking if there was a warranty we were told there was. We requested in June 2020 for the dead plants to be replaced and sent pictures. We never heard back. Reached out to Correy again and he assured us there would be a crew out the week of 6/22/2020. Needless to say, as of today, 7/31/2020, no crew, no replaced shrubs, and zero communication from this company. I do not recommend this company whatsoever. For the amount of money charged for the work, it is subpar, as well as the customer service is incredibly disappointing. We have five cul-de-sacs in our subdivision and have opted to use someone else so not to create the headache of trying to get them to communicate, follow through, and trying to get the work right. Our subdivision tries to use contractors in our own community, but feel it is well worth going outside of our community for a good company.

I feel like we were more than gracious when the quartz countertop for the bar was put in wrong, because NO ONE from Colonel was there when it was installed incorrectly. We figured out a solution (not ideal, but ok) so they would not have to redo the entire bar. The crew left a ditch witch behind my garage door over a weekend, along with boards and open paint that I actually backed over more than once. Sloppy, no respect for our property whatsoever. After less than a year the patio pavers needed attention once again. My husband and myself texted the owner and crickets...we had to hire a different company to come and repair it. We had high hopes, but really disappointed.

He was very friendly and answered all my questions and promised to come back the next day and replace our missing shingles, weather permitting, which was fine with me. To my surprise, about 15 minutes later he was back at our house and said he wanted to make sure our shingles were replaced before it rained again and figured it wouldn't take that long to do it. I was very pleased with his work and he was so pleasant to work with. I definitely recommend T.Fuller +++++
