If I could offer no star, I would…read more Dave Gugger is a joke, a coward and highly misleading in his work ethic and skill. He provided us with services which included underground drainage from our foundation, removal of crushed stone (from a previously laid above-ground pool), ground leveling, sod-placement and construction of 2 gardens made from Penn flagstone. NONE of these jobs were done correctly. The crushed stone still lies beneath our new sod and constantly dries out because the proper amount to create an appropriate depth for grass roots to grow was not removed. The stone gets too hot in the sun and burns the grass from the root up. After 2-3 days of no water, there is a perfect 33' round patch of dead grass in my yard, reminding us of the pool long-gone. The gardens BOTH fell within 2 weeks of being built - one of which was put together by a temp; a 16-yo young man who was happy to admit this was his first rock wall! The stones used were NOT what we had ordered as he did not properly obtain the product we wanted in time. He snuck in random round boulders which was the baseline to it's eventual fail. I personally had to remove all the stones, gather new material and rebuild the gardens myself. Plants that were supposed to be REMOVED before building the garden (variegated hostas) were not taken out properly and I still struggle with constantly having to weed out the persistent babies of the larger plants that make their way through the soils. As anyone with hosta-removal experience knows, you PAY to have someone remove them properly because if they are not, they will keep coming back! They are choking out the rest of my plants and it is extremely discouraging. The drainage pipe that was installed leaks out to a location less than 20' from our foundation and is at a 15degree grade HIGHER than the foundation itself - so all the water that is removed seeps right back into our basement. Our investemnt of a dehumidifier was probably the best in our whole experience - but that of course was only AFTER we constantly find 2-4 inches of water in our basement. Of all the things, here is my biggest, sincerest complaint.... when he was confronted with the problems we were having, he repeatedly refused to reply to emails, would not answer his phone. Once, we got him to answer (when he must not have checked to see if it was us) and he pulled the good ol' fashioned "Hello? HELLO? I can't hear you. *click*" Another time, he had the audacity to tell me (during the period of my extremely frequent and frustratingly unanswered phone calls) that he was on vacation where he dropped his phone and broke it. Now, I understand everyone needs a vacation - and I totally understand accidents happen. But I also know that when you, as the OWNER, are on a 3-week vacation and you lose your phone the FIRST day, you would likely try to pick up a new one, or at least set up your answering account to say "On vaca, I'll return your call as quickly as I am able." Perhaps a vaca-message on your webpage?? Nothing but dead air from this guy. As a business owner myself, I am shocked that any owner would treat paying customers, and good fair people, with such disregard. We did not ask much of him when it came to fixing the problems. We asked that he either get out to our home and fix ALL the errors he and his crew had made or to refund us JUST OUR LABOR COST!!! Just the labor. We'll keep the product and do the damn work ourselves (and better than he did!) But he ignored us. I apologize to those who look for a short yay-or-nay review - but there is no way I'm going to let this extremely poor businessman slide for the damages he has done. We are now slated to have our entire back yard excavated to remove the stone he was paid to do in the first place. I do not apologize to Dave for this scathing review - which will be passed to the BBB and Atty General. Thanks for ruining our yard, DG. The Touma Family.

These guys went nuts. Within a couple hours all the over grown bushes were trimmed down, the scrub was cleaned up and I was left with this awesome looking yard I hadn't seen since what seems like the dawn of time. Even better, the guys came to my door when they were done, walked me through everything they did and asked me if there was anything else I wanted them to do before they left...how cool is that! Needless to say Michele is super happy and have officially locked them in as my go-to landscaping company.

I worked with James from Heritage Landscaping to completely renovate our front yard. Now that the…read morework has been completed, I ultimately regret my decision to go with them over other landscaping companies. I have never left a review for anything online before, but feel as though I have to after the experience I had with Heritage. This was not a small or cheap project and I feel as though I deserved a much higher level of work upon completion. Although there were certain things that were done well (pathway and sprinkler system that were contracted out to third parties), the landscaping itself left a lot to be desired. Here is a list of the issues that I experienced: 1. They did not edge any of the mulch beds. 2. The mulch they laid down was not laid evenly along the pathway. 3. When they reseeded the lawn, they planted seed on all of the mulch beds and I now have grass growing though my mulch beds. Furthermore, there are still parts of the grass that never grew. 4. They agreed to remove a small tree and they were unable to remove the stump. I now have to reach out to a tree removal company to grind it down. 5. When the irrigation company came to install the system, there was no plan to have the system water the newly planted plants along the house and pathway. The irrigation company installed a drip system anyways after I spoke up. In fairness, James and his team did cover the cost of the drip system once it was installed. The most disappointing part of my whole experience is that I texted James about some of issues that I thought could be remedied a few days ago, specifically the mulch beds and how bad it looks. However, he has not responded to me.

I would have given them 5 stars, but one thing disturbs me. Their estimate included a $0 item for "Parking Permit Fees TBD by your city requirements." The final bill listed this item as $250, which was over 25% of the total bill. When I called to ask why they didn't include that number on the estimate, since surely they had previously done work in my city and knew about the cost of the necessary parking permit fees, the customer service representative was very argumentative, but admitted that they knew in advance that the fees would be $250 at a minimum. It seems deceptive to leave this known minimum cost off the written estimate. I was dismayed by the combative response to my questioning of this approach, and to my suggestion that customers would be better served by including this information in the written estimate. I was further disappointed that the owner did not reach out to me following that unpleasant phone conversation. Addendum: I left a voice message for Ryan after his written Yelp response to my above post, and he quickly called me back. I was impressed that Ryan spent a fair bit of time with me on the phone on a Sunday to further explain and apologize for the situation, and he offered that they would be rethinking their approach to the parking permit fee issue on their written estimates in the immediate future, which I think is a positive outcome.
