BARBER CUSTOM LANDSCAPES INC

Excellent results and lasting beauty. They aren't the cheapest but the quality and durability of the work was outstanding.

We checked with several different companies, and Barber was NOT the lowest price! He was however, the most comprehensive of the people we talked to in explaining EXACTLY what he would do, when he would do it, how much material and man-hours it would take.We then hired Carl Barber to do the work for us. The job was done on time, within budget and my wife and I were completely amazed at the difference it made in our back yard.It now looks like a professionally landscaped back yard, which is what we wanted.We are currently hiring Carl Barber to do some more landscaping work for us. along both sides and possibly in the front of our home.Barber installed a retaining wall 52 feet long and 42and quot; tall across the back yard for erosion controlI rate Barber Custom Landscaping at an A+ in every aspect.

Well, unfortunately, I wrote a rave review for Carl Barber and was singing his praises for honesty, integrity and being so thorough. and quot;Carl Barber and his family are the most honest, forthright, genuine, considerate, ethical people I've had the pleasure to contract. I had Carl's estimate sitting on my shelf for over a year, I dreaded having to replace concrete but the time came and the alternative was no longer an option. Carl held to the estimate and went beyond in satisfaction and workmanship. Carl and his son are thorough, timely, professional, hard-working people but I simply have to put the emphasis on honest. I had offers by other companies and I simply could not turn Carl down because I knew I would get what I pay for. The job looks incredible, this team went over and beyond the realm of anything I can wrap my mind around, oh, and did I mention they were AWESOME with my dogs! PET FRIENDLY with concrete? YUP! Member Comments: Carl is very thorough and specific with what he's going to do and does. Up to the minute updates, communicate excellence, professional (no potty mouth), everyone ALWAYS working so hard! I've never seen anything like it! The workmanship is beautiful - it looks powerfully professionally done and without paw prints in the concrete! (My dog loved the crew - crazy Bloodhound.) And, I have a dog who is a runner and I did not have ONE single problem here at all, in fact, they went over and beyond to ensure everything was done accordingly, timely and professionally.and quot; Fast forward: 3/21/2014, one year later: Concrete is flaking and chipping on the front drive. When I called Carl to come take a look, he informed me that the concrete flaking and chipping is do to chemical deicers used to melt ice and snow; he further stated that he told me not to use salt on the drive and that there is no warranty on concrete. I told Carl that I wanted to work with him to resolve the problem and he became hostile. I stated that in no way during the snow season in Colorado with a north facing sloped driveway is there anyway I could clean my vehicle prior to getting into my garage without placing salt or kitty litter on the drive (my neighbors are awesome and put stuff down on the walk and drive for me so I don't slip and fall (I’ve herniated two disks from shoveling snow in winter and falling - did I mention I'm on chemotherapy?). Further, I just had my knee replaced, I'm on chemotherapy for cancer, my daughter is pregnant and during an emergency call, we had to put ice melt on the sidewalk and walkway for safety for emergency crews to access and leave the house without slipping. Well, March came, the sun came out and now the driveway is flaking and chipping (the sidewalk is fine). I am now remodeling my basement and every contractor who comes up the drive comments on the drive and that it should not be flaking and chipping and it should have been sealed. I called Carl back and he was enraged. He became very angry and asked me what I wanted to do as if I was an attorney. I told him I didn't know, he is the expert and I wanted his advice and I wanted to work with him. He then was irate and said I threatened him and he hung the phone up on me. Contractors remodeling my basement see the concrete and state how poorly the work performed was completed. I had no idea how bad it was. I did repaint my home because of the concrete splashes on the siding, both my white front and back iron doors are also splashed with concrete. The concrete is and quot;roughand quot; and not smooth and doesn't match other newly poured drives in the neighborhood. After I looked at everything, I have to say, I and quot;get itand quot;. The concrete is rough looking and not smoothed in places such as steps and around a window well that looks very bad. I'm so frustrated and feel like the stupid single female who didn't know any better.
