What do customers say?

Long-standing reputation for water garden design and pond maintenance, though a recent one-star review suggests the quality slipped after the pond crew was replaced. Earlier customers praised Jeff Duncan's responsiveness and on-budget work over many years of service.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Jesse's crew handles everything from routine tree work to storm emergencies with speed and fair pricing. Most jobs wrap cleanly with minimal disruption to the property, and they honor callbacks even on holiday weekends. One older complaint flagged communication and follow-through issues, but recent reviews consistently praise responsiveness and quick action. Staff turnover or operational changes may explain the shift, though the pattern still warrants direct contact confirmation before committing.

Edwin's team has built a strong reputation for taking down large trees safely and fast, leaving yards clean with no damage. Multiple reviewers praised their precision, speed, and the equipment they bring to complex jobs. Recent work included storm damage response, stump grinding, land clearing, and pool removal. Honest pricing and upfront communication stand out, though one reviewer five months back flagged improper trimming cuts that raised health concerns.

Greg Cote and his team show up on time and deliver clean, detail-focused work across seasonal needs. Reviewers consistently report that the crew listens closely to what they want, accommodates changes mid-project, and explains timelines upfront (like when lawn leveling needs multiple seasons). They handle everything from spring cleanups and mulch to hardscaping, tree work, and outdoor kitchens, and many customers return year after year. Recent work includes privacy hedges with arborvitae, boulder retaining walls, walkways, and substantial yard restorations after years of neglect. The owner's accessibility and willingness to fit in short-notice jobs earn repeated thanks; they're known locally as a company you can trust with your property.
