Last year we hired McNeff Landscaping to replace the rocks around our bushes and to replace 3…read morebushes and add two rose bushes. Also they removed the black edging and replaced them with bricks. They did a beautiful job. A few weeks later I called Eric, the owner, and told him the lilac bush he planted appears dead. He came out and agreed it was dead. He implied that maybe I had not watered it enough even though the other bushes were doing fine. I told him if he would like to see the letter from the Village noting the increase in water usage I'd be glad to show him. He replaced the bush and all was fine until late this spring when the lilac bush, which had leaves and buds, appeared to be dying. I called Eric twice and he did not respond. My husband called and he answered and said he'd come out and take a look at it and let us know. To my knowledge he never did. I texted him requesting if he would just tell me if he was not going to replaced the now dead lilac bush, just let me know. Again no response. The landscaping was not even a year old and the black material landscapers put over the soil before they put the new rocks down is already coming up in places. I would not recommend this company again.

Additionally, they constructed two 15-foot long stone masonry "knee" walls (approximately 3 feet tall) with taller columns. While this sounds straightforward, the work involved was significant; there were previous cement slabs to be removed, a trench of roots where old trees and a hedge shrub wall once lived, a tree to remove, drain tile to re-route, and electric work run underground to the columns for cap lights. The business owner (Dave) was patient and thoughtful in making several trips for the initial consultation with ideas, options, and advice - yet listened carefully and non-judgmentally to my own. This is a skill set in its own right as I don't know anything about landscaping, but he was able to listen to my words and translate them into landscaping language and appropriate options. Additionally as the work progressed and more ideas came to mind, Dave was able to discuss them. Lastly, when I asked that additional work beyond the scope of the initial plans be added on (such as removing and disposing of old chain link fencing) so that future work would be possible there were zero complaints and I wasn't price-gouged. His work crew is skilled and are truly "landscapers" - not lawn cutters (there's a difference). I learned that his foreman has been with the company for 25 years. This is a company where the employees are clearly invested in the business' success and vice versa. The employees know what they're doing and are much more than simple laborers. Dave has the gift of vision for what a property can look like despite its current (in my case terrible) state. He is enthusiastic yet also cost-conscious and does not up-sell you anything you don't need. In fact in my experience he was more likely to make suggestions to save money. At the onset of the work I was only asked for a down payment to cover the hold/purchase of a significant number of trees from the nursery. A Fresh Cut's employees were respectful of my property and the company is well-equipped for the work they do including skid steer, tractor, back hoe, and multiple heavy duty dumps. The employees worked hard at the grunt work that couldn't be performed by heavy machinery. Communication was constant and Dave remained patient and committed to the cause throughout. I was never under the impression that my job took a backseat to any other projects. I plan to use A Fresh Cut for future projects around my property, including patio and pond work.

Several weeks ago, I decided it was time to have a few landscaping projects done. I called EIGHT…read morelandscapers. The first one I called was an acquaintance of mine. I scheduled with him twice and both times, he never showed up. I then checked his Yelp reviews and I'm kind of glad he didn't show up. Another landscaper came to look at my projects but never produced an estimate or returned my calls, one had a sky high price, another told me he couldn't start until October so I just cancelled that appointment, and the rest just never showed up for the estimate. Then I talked to Paul. Most of these landscapers I talked to were pretty gruff and had voices like they'd been gargling with gravel between cigarettes. Paul answered the phone and in his soft angelic voice, he asked about my projects and agreed to come out for an estimate the next day. My projects were a scattered mish-mosh because we'd neglected the exterior of our home. While our home was featured in Better Homes & Gardens back in the 1980's, I'm not a "yard guy," so I did basic lawn maintenance and let everything other than the grass go to hell. Paul followed me around my hillbilly yard and patiently listened to my ideas while offering a few of his own. By that evening, he emailed me an estimate with itemized prices so I could pick and choose the jobs that fit our budget for this year. I hired Paul and his crew to install a short retaining wall around our above ground pool, a small paver pad for the pool pump to sit on, and I also had them revitalize our kids' play area with landscaping paper and fresh mulch. Just yesterday, I got an estimate for weekly lawn care from another landscaper (Paul's lawn crew doesn't work in my area or else I would have hired him). I asked this new guy what he would have charged for the projects I had done by Paul. This other landscaper was $600 higher on the retaining wall and paver pad, but $200 less on the play area. So, considering the overall price, Paul was very competitive and I came out ahead based on the one sky-high estimate I got earlier and the estimate this new guy quoted after the project was already done. I'm extremely happy with Paul's pricing and for what I got, I would say his price was beyond fair. As for what I got... Regarding the quality of the workmanship, it's top notch. His crew came out and busted their butts all day long for two days. They worked through the rainy morning one day and had the job completed on time. In fact, the job was actually completed a week ahead of schedule because Paul had a cancellation and squeezed me in early. On top of all that, his crew did a little extra work for free. I had a couple bald spots in my yard and they saw me throwing some grass seed. I didn't even notice this until they'd left, but they used some of the extra grass they pulled up from the retaining wall area to fill in a couple divots and bald spots. The yard is looking great, the projects they completed look absolutely wonderful, and I'll never look for another landscaper again! Paul is now my landscaping go-to guy. As a Realtor, I don't often get clients looking for landscaping work, but he just replaced the guy I used to recommend (the one who blew me off twice). In the end, I'm an extremely satisfied customer! His price was great, his timing was perfect, his finished products were beyond my expectations, and I'm very happy knowing that I've got a very reliable landscaping professional that I will feel confident recommending to clients!
