I use him for my association stuff. He’s not the lowest price, but he does a great job. You would like the finished product. He did some work for me personally, he has done work for some of the neighbors here in Greenboro where I live; and he also did some work for the home owners association when I was president. He did a good job on that. He does great work, he doesn’t do things cheap. All I know is that anything he does, it’s a good project and people are happy. It is good quality. He happens to live in the development next to me, I know Ben, his brother. He is very responsive. I probably would use them because I know if I asked him to do it, if the price was definitely reasonable; I would be happy with the product. If I was trying to do it cheap then I wouldn’t use them. He doesn’t want to do stuff that looks bad or that looks cheap.
Description of Work: The last time I actually used him, he put a guard rail on our dam. He replaced the entire 2 sides of the road and used the existing cable. He put in all the post, dug them in and took out the old ones that were rotten.

They have been doing it now for a couple 3 years. I think they do a good job. They have their own quarry, so they have access to sand and stuff. I think our contract was for a $100 an hour and in addition to that we paid for the materials. They provided the truck and the gas and the driver. We have 2 ½ miles of road. I think it was great. The first year it took some getting used to, but now they know what to do and it’s there. There was a getting acquainted period so they could get to know our hills and where the slipper spots were and stuff like that. They adapted quickly, whenever we called, they would bring more sand out or whatever we needed.
Description of Work: He did do our snow removal in our other development during the winter. They put salt and sand out.

I asked for a quote for repairing hardscape in our yard. They said it would be about a month before they could call to schedule an appointment. I said that was fine because we were not in a hurry. They never called.

It was a fair price, a bargain for the work they did and you get what you pay for. They did a good job for us.
Description of Work: We have used Lounsbury Landscaping Sand & Gravel in several different places. We are about to use them on a board at our association, they are doing some work on a dam and they are also doing some soil erosion stuff.

They came out and looked at our space and worked with us to design a large flower bed surrounded by boulders and a set of large rock steps going between our house and our neighbors. They worked us into their schedule because we really wanted the job done before July. They were very professional and even did some extra work and placed some random boulders into our other landscaping to tie in our new rock wall. They also helped us remove some old posts that needed pulled. Much easier than having to dig them out. We were very happy with our finished garden and steps and would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: They came out and designed a rock wall and garden for us and also added large rock steps.

They are very good. I have used them. They are prompt and they come when they say they are going to come. If they have a conflict they will call and reschedule which I think is good customer service. They do good work. They do what they say they are going to do. They stand behind of what they do and they have a warranty. They put in plants and don’t replant or replenish them. We have been in this house for two years and the other house we had we sold it and it was on a hill with a pond and we had a problem with water coming down the gravel road and the pond over flowing. They did clover work and put in a weed damp on the road going up the house so that when we have heavy rains it doesn’t destroy the road and over flood the pond. They did that work last summer and we have been very pleased with that. We have used them a lot. When we usually need to have work done they come out pretty quick. We have been their customer for a while. They are prompt and do the work pretty quick.

Andy was very prompt with coming out and providing an estimate and a detailed plan. We discussed the plants, when they would bloom, etc. He worked with my on proposed changes to switch out boulders for urns to better fit the neighborhood look. the work was performed in a very short time and his crew was professional and courteous. Explained whate they were doing and when they planned to complete the work. I couldn't be happier with the end product - only wish it had rained more!!
Description of Work: Work performed was a front bed with flowering plants; rock by front of house for improved drainage; sod in a dead grass area; tilled a garden spot; moved plants to a lower area and built a retaining wall; general clean up.

They do excellent, excellent work. They pick up after themselves and don't leave trash lying around. They even clean up stuff they didn't do. They check with you periodically to see if you are happy with what they are doing. The crew works very diligently. The owner, Andy, comes to the property at least once during the time the crew is working to make sure it is right, according to his standards. Every time I have called about having work done, Andy himself comes to my home to see what I want done. We will walk around the property and he takes notes, and then gives me a quote. I think they are extremely professional. They are certainly not the cheapest, but, on the other hand, they do such wonderful work that I don't mind paying a little more for it. I think they do a really good job for a fair price. They come when they say they will. I use them every year, and will continue to do so.
Description of Work: They provided miscellaneous landscaping services.
