THEY ARE THE WORST! AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS...UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR COST TO BE THROUGH THE ROOF! We…read morehired them in the fall to do some work, asking for a low maintenance option for our front and back yard. They completely misled us on the scope of work for the back and planted the front in late fall, just as the weather turned cold. And the cost was astronomical! Now half the plants are dead because of the brutal winter even though I asked them if we were planting too late. And I'm spending all kinds of time and effort to keep the remaining plants alive. Low maintenance my @ss! And in the back, all the weeds and random plants they were supposed to eradicate are all coming back. I cannot stress enough how horrible they are.

I let them know that I needed the work done soon and would go with another company instead. Suddenly, they said the original appointment was back on and assured me everything was fine.

If you're looking for a reliable company that values your time, go elsewhere.

We worked with Paulo and his team on a major renovation to our backyard. After several design…read moreiterations back and forth, we settled on a 50x20 pool, with an integrated sundeck, significant hardscaping including a large marble patio, custom built outdoor kitchen, and firepit. He also installed sod throughout, new sprinkler system, new lighting, fencing, and did all the landscaping and tree design. It came out absolutely incredible! Working with Paulo was such a pleasure. His demeanor is calm, cool, and collected. He's incredibly professional, stands behind his work, doesn't nickel and dime you, and if there are missteps he owns it and most importantly fixes it immediately. We have recommended Grow Landscapes and Paulo to countless people and will continue to do so! We have lived with the new backyard for a little over a year now and the quality is outstanding! Post delivery support has been amazing as well. Highly highly recommended!!

Notably, they accomplished this all incredibly quickly during the pandemic where supplies have been scarce and demand for such jobs has been at a premium.

He sounded very nice and he immediately came out to provide a free estimate. I checked with my coworkers and they were blown away with how affordable the estimate was in comparison to their experiences with other tree services.

My wife and I were so impressed with their service. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend.

I contracted with Hughes to do work on my property to correct drainage problems. We discussed…read morecreating a swale to divert a large flow of water during heavy rainstorms away from my foundation out to a lower elevation in my yard. On the day of the job, the workers found tree roots that blocked them from digging out the swale. No one spoke to me about this. So instead of a swale, they dumped a lot of river rocks and made it look like a swale was there. I got suspicious and cleared away the rocks and found that at most they had cleared away the dead leaves. I contacted Carter Hughes about this and he said, Ya because of the roots we could only do what we could do. I asked Carter to look at it with me, but I never saw him again. So I contacted a tree company to have the tree taken down and remove the tree and take out the roots. Then I contacted Carter again and asked that once I had the tree out, he should send someone to complete the swale work. After a while going around and around with him on the phone, I realized he had no intention of completing the work, and it was useless asking. I don't believe that just putting the rock down to look like a swale and then never mentioning to me about the problem with the roots was at all an open way to do business.

I was skeptical, because it was very clear to me that in his mind, the review was the problem (as opposed to my overall customer experience), but I eventually agreed. With John overseeing the project, my yard now reflects what my original expectations were. He manicured the bushes in my back yard beautifully - quickly, accurately, and non-invasively. I was floored at how expertly the work was done and how efficiently everything went. The communication level was good, and he was pleasant throughout the work. He showed up with his team the morning the work was scheduled, and explained to me that the sod could not be cut and installed until the day after (due to heavy rains), and would it be okay to come by and install it tomorrow? Thank you for the notice, and yes, certainly! :) In my front yard, which is patchy due to water damage, they installed the sod, and the yard looks really good now. They installed mulch around my front tree, and it looks very picturesque. I would not hesitate to contact John Hughes for another project if it came up. Thanks, John!

Pitched a ball park, that was way high and not competitive. I told him I was expecting everything I was looking for, for that price range. He then proceeded to insult my ability to DIY and gave off a level of arrogance akin to "If you even flinch at the ballpark you aren't the type of client I am looking for."

Tim was great to work with, providing valuable info about aspects of the project I hadn't considered, and explaining everything thoroughly along the way. Landscape and Drainage extended downspouts, added French drains and drain boxes, and took down two trees. They also offered the best price of the three companies I got estimates from. I was so happy with the results and the experience working with them that I sent Tim to my parents' house, where he did additional drainage and tree work.

Tim came out to look at that and a bunch of other stuff (future work), and gave us a plan to resolve the immediate issues. On the inside, his guys came out and jackhammered along our foundation, installed a new system to collect and direct any water seeping through the wall to our existing sump pump discharge line, and laid new concrete. They even worked around a bit of a curveball without needing to deviate from the estimate. Outside, they dug a 22-ft trench and installed a french drain to alleviate the hydrostatic pressure on the basement wall, routed our HVAC condensate line into the french drain, installed 2 new window wells which allowed them to grade the yard away from the house, and installed another french drain on the far end of the garden to help mitigate the flash flooding we experience there. They finished up by laying fescue sod over the affected area, making it look nice and clean. All of the work was done in two days, with some minor cleanup work on the 3rd day after the concrete had cured in the basement. The price was good, the guys worked hard, the work was done on time, and the final product was excellent. We will be using them again for our retaining walls, landscaping, and whatever else comes our way.
