What do customers say?

Most work arrives on time with visible care taken end-to-end, from leaf cleanup along curbs to patio installations. Zack Spicer personally manages quotes and shows up on-site; the crew handles tree work, drainage, hardscaping, and lawn restoration with the same attention. One older review flagged a rude phone interaction, but recent feedback (last four months) sees only praise.

Service quality covers full-scope projects: a reviewer moved to Connecticut and had the yard excavated, paved, and planted into an "oasis." Another had a 30-year-old French drain replaced in a single day. Same-day or next-day turnarounds are common for seasonal work like leaf removal and mowing, and the crew cleaned up a storm-plowed driveway for a neighbor purely out of kindness.

Recent work has been solid: customers praise Larry's crew for friendly service and clean execution. Older complaints about debris left behind and communication breakdowns still surface, though the most recent five-star review (4 months ago) shows the business delivering strong work. Shop around on pricing if your lawn is overgrown, as some customers have paid double rates twice in quick succession.
