Aftermath Tree Service

I guess you get what you pay for. I needed a new retaining wall at one of my rental properies and went with the cheapest bid. A bid which was simply emailed to me and stated somethig to the following "Build new retaining wall on property at <address> for $1100." None of the specific details that we had even discussed on the phone were included in the quote. Not very professional. Although I had originally requested the use of deadman for strength, Jerod assured me his turnbuckle system was even better. However, after only a couple months, the wall was already leaning as much as 6 inches at the top. I phoned him and he said he would fix the issue. But I had to phone him several more times over the next few months because he did not show up. He always had plenty of excuses why he was unable to get there. He did finally arrive to fix the problem and it was discovered that one of his turnbuckles had never been properly tightened down to begin with. Also, in the course of the repair, he used his bobcat to push the wall back up. This ended up cracking the top 6x6 landscape timber. It looks terrible now. I have called him several times but he has never called me back. My understanding from my last actual phone call with Jerod was that he was filing for bankruptcy. I imagine my 10 year warrant on the wall is now defunct. Additionally, the final bill was more than the original quote. He claimed that Menards would not honor the price they had quoted him on the landscape timber. At least he did call me before he started the work to tell me the landscape timber was going to cost a couple hundred more than the original quote. It's a shame he was not more professional and responsive, as I would have hired him for several landscaping jobs at my new house.

He did an excellent job, saved me $550! I was getting quotes of around $1000. I would recommend them to anybody.

I had been wanting the retaining wall for about 2 years, but the estimates I was receiving was a little scary (like $5,000). I contacted Jared with Aftermath Landscaping, he came over that day and gave me a very affordable estimate. I bought the large 17"W X 8"H blocks, gravel, and caps for about $1,600.00. Aftermath's estimate was $1,100 (including 2 tandem loads of dirt). Aftermath showed up 2 days later, as scheduled, and built the most beautiful retaining wall ever. Simply amazing!!! Jared and his crew of 4 guys arrived a little after 8 am and worked harder than I have ever seen a crew work. They were at it all day until 730 pm. They barely took a lunch break (and that was on site). They completed the whole job in one day. Jared was very particular and professional, a true craftsman. From start to finish, I couldn't be more impressed or more satisfied with the job from Aftermath Landscaping!!!
