My gardener, although wonderful in the past, has become a procrastinating old man with a slight…read morelimp and a sore hip. Seeing as how I'm married to him, the time finally arrived to pass the torch to a new gardener! Of course, before I made this big decision, I talked about it for several years, in case the old gardener was attached to this chore (which he sort of seemed to be). In any case, the limit was reached and I couldn't continue to live in an overgrown jungle of underpruned and underloved plants anymore! I reached out to my neighbor who had had a terrible time with a dying hedge until she got a new gardener and asked about her new gardener. Cue Jesus... Jesus and a crew of 4-5 men spent about 8 hours in my yard and they were FAST! They tore out the neighbor's Ivy that is always threatening to take over our yard. They pruned the neighbors huge bush that is more of a tree that hangs over half our backyard and drops red berries all over and in our jacuzzi. They pruned my Chinese elm tree that was partially hanging on the roof. And they cut a swath through every part of the yard, pruning and pulling out dandelions and other weeds that proliferated there. I believe they hauled away 2 dump truck loads of yard waste! Even my old gardener was thrilled with how it looked and moving forward, Jesus's crew is now coming every 2 weeks to keep our yard in tiptop shape. I should have made this decision 2 years ago! It's hard to know as you get older when to hire people to do what you are used to doing yourself. The reaction from all our neighbors is clear. Jesus and his crew were the right decision. Thank you, Jesus, for shepherding us into this new stage of garden life.

We thought when we hired this company that we were spending extra money but it would be worth it to…read moreget the job done and get it done well. Boy were we wrong! From the very beginning, we had issues which is why we had to fire them. 1) The drawings that you pay 5K for aren't actual drawings-its just a picture! 2) The drawings showed two fences on the sides of the back yard, but the bid only included one...which they let us know once one fence was already installed. 3) A chainlink fence we installed only went 3/4 of the way across the yard because that is all that was included in the bid! Again, we learned that it was too short after the fact and that we were supposed to pay an upcharge to have it go all the way across. 4) The design they had for the BBQ doesn't work and we had to relocate it to another area. 5) Their partial billing system is beyond annoying and over the top. 6) They talked us out of the pool deck we really wanted and put in pavers that we hated. They kept telling us they would look different after they dried, after the were cleaned, etc. We ended up tearing them out. The problem is they only provided one paver instead of many as a sample. I thought I was clear about the look we were going for but they just didn't get it. 7) But our biggest gripe (and that's saying alot!) is they did a bio retention basin in our back yard and it has never passed inspection. They assured us that they would make that happen but never did. We now have to pay our GC additional money because Clearview does not appear to know how to make inspections happen. In fact, we have had to pay to have that basin inspected a ridiculous amount of times. We finally decided they were never gonna pass inspection which is why I am writing this review. I do not recommend this company if you have a substantial project or any permits involved. I say that from a calm, thoughtful, responsive energy where I want to look out for potential customers. They cost us a lot of needless time and money.... even suffering! They don't listen to clients and they are not accountable for anything they do or don't do. In fact, at one meeting the owner Chris told me to stop complaining about the price of the project because it was distracting and not helpful! These are not guys you want to work with. Don't be tempted by the marketing like we were.

We were never concerned that limbs would be indiscriminately hacked off against our wishes. The crew were absolute magicians. They worked together quickly and efficiently. The tree was in an extremely awkward space behind the house, but they managed to rope everything out without a hint of damage, and cleaned up thoroughly.

I hired Mayan Construction for a landscaping project that involved removing an old patio and then…read moreinstalling pavers. There was also a retaining wall that needed to be removed and replaced. For the first 90% of the job I'd say they did a decent job. The problem was with the finishing details. It's almost as if they finished 98% of the work and then didn't show to complete the rest of it. I asked them to return to my house and was told by Bryan that they would come back, but I never saw them again. I'm talking like a day of work to complete this stuff, if that. They left multiple pieces of rebar sticking out of concrete. I have kids and the last thing I want is for them to get hurt on sharp pieces of rebar. I also don't have the tools to cut the rebar myself. They had a sub come by and replace our aluminum gutters. There was one downspout that connected to an ugly piece of pvc pipe for drainage. I asked them to come back and remove the pvc pipe to make it look cleaner. They said they'd come back, but never did. I asked them to come back and fill in gaps that were left between the pavers, but again nothing was done. There was a sewer clean out that was left protruding above the paver patio too. I don't think I'd hire this company again to do any construction work at my house.

Reluctantly had someone come back to fill it in, but said "I'm doing you a favor by doing this." No, jerk, you're finishing the job you were hired to do. Then come to find out he didn't pay the paver supplier the $3500 in materials until they put a lien on the house. Never, ever trust this guy, he's a crook and a jerk.
