Description of Work: Full disclosure - my wife works there, but I will review them as I would any other service provider I hire. |I hired them to install a flow-well to take water from our basement' sump pump. They were on time, courteous, and did a clean professional job. |I can't wait to get them back for my future projects.

The provider is very professional. My yard had hardly any grass and was full of weeds. This provider was able to turn it around within a few months of treatment. My yard is looking much better now. We are looking forward to another year with J Crowdle to make our yard even better!

The services were provided on a timely and professional manner. The weeds seemed to have disapeared now which was one of the major problems. We are enrolled in the fall program to see if that really helps our grass to grow back, for now we have a lot of crap grass. I will be able to make a better assesment of the quality of the program we are in by next Spring as it takes a year or so to have the grass improved. So far so good.

I work for the management company at a building in Newton, MA and this past winter, due to rising costs of another snow removal company, my boss opted to use Crowdle Co. We couldn't have had a better experience and at a more reasonable price. Given the absolute gross amount of snow we received, the guys did a great job at clearing the parking lot and walkways and always, ALWAYS managed to work around those few tenants in the building who managed to remain parked in the dead center of the lot during the worst of the blizzards. We will be using their services for snow removal again next winter and will be referring them out for other services if the need arises. Great company, great employees.

On time. Called ahead. Jonathan was fast, efficient, friendly. Knew his stuff. I used to install sprinklers so I know the job. Prices are what they are - so go with responsiveness and service/quality. These guys are a win.

Epilogue: After a few more weeks and too many emails (including some to my wife, which were unwarranted and inappropriate), they sent someone to do all that we had previously agreed would be done and to try to fix what was still not working/had gotten worse The sprinkler is now working and they added a new head, but in the process, they apparently loosened the stone wall we had built last year, causing my daughter to fall off when the top stone tilted Also, many weeds and brown spots remain Despite their eventual efforts to make things right, I am still dissatisfied and would not recommend

Response from J.A. Crowdle Corporation
The services we provided to this client were performed in August, 2014. We completed routine follow-ups and monitored the property though the 2014 fall season, at which time we were happy to see improving results from the lawn work we had completed. We have no record of there being any issues with our work prior to the client contacting us in May, 2015. Upon completion of the irrigation repairs last August, we tested and ensured the system was running properly. Because the client did not contract with us to provide irrigation maintenance (winterization in 2014 or startup in 2015) we are unable to determine how or when this damage came to be. However, if the system had been malfunctioning since August 2014, it stands to reason that we would have been contacted much sooner. Despite our best efforts, this client has refused to meet with or speak to our company owner to discuss a remedy to this situation. After several email communications, as a sign of good faith and with the client's written permission, we returned to the property to do additional work at no cost in an attempt to satisfy his issues. During our visit on 5/27/15 we replaced one broken irrigation head, relocated another, and also secured a loose nozzle. We aerated and overseeded the lawn and applied fertilizer and weed control products. We also thoroughly checked the walkway for cracks or damage, but weren't able to find any. We did notice some settling of the polymeric sand between the paver joints, so we cleaned and swept in additional polymeric sand. We explained to this client at the outset that restoring a lawn is not a "one-and-done" service. It requires strict adherence to a strong lawn care program. Only one of several services we recommended to maintain this lawn was selected, our aftercare recommendations were not accepted or followed to our knowledge. Had the client proceeded with more of the aftercare services we offered, their expectations could have been realized. At J.A. Crowdle Corporation, we make customer satisfaction our #1 priority. We strive to go above and beyond for our clients, and we're glad to share this example of our commitment to providing outstanding service.

They were always very good to communicate with, pro-active with addressing problems, and I would strongly consider using them again this year. The lawn did appear to respond well to their treatments and I'm looking forward to seeing how well it comes back in the spring. I prepaid at the beginning of the season for a small discount.
Description of Work: For my relatively small lawn, Crowdle provided me an entire season's worth of services -- not including lawn mowing, leaf removal, etc. They handled fertilizing (organic), pest/weed control, aeration, dethaching, overseeding, fall top soil filling, and sprinkler system closing.

They are a bit on the expensive side but they are a great company. They are very thorough in their work. The crew that worked at our house cleaned up the front yard everyday before they left. They are the kind of workers that you wanted to have around your home. They are a professional company.
Description of Work: They put in a new walkway and landscaping in the front yard for us last fall. They are going to put in a patio, landscaping and lawn irrigation system in the back yard this summer.

We first met with Jack Elicone last year (2011) to come up with some design ideas and moved forward with the project later. When Jack was not able to be on site on the first day of work due to unforeseen circumstances, Jason Crowdle, the owner, came himself to oversee the project. He and/or Jack met with us on a regular basis at our convenience to straighten out any issues/give us new information/clarify work. They and their team (Jonathan et al) worked with us to modify the design/plans based on new information/design issues. Kelli Crowdle kept us updated from the office. The front walk was meticulously designed. A few pavers were strategically cut and placed so as to fit well and not mar the line of sight from the street. It is a pleasure just to walk up and down the walkway. The driveway was made more level than the previous one. We are looking forward to planting our new planter next spring. We did not anticipate adding a complete new irrigation system, but it needed an overhaul due to age and other complexities. We had extensive discussions about locations of sprinkler heads and backflow issues. Everyone who worked on the project was professional. When we arrived at home each evening after the work was done, the work area was cleaned up and neat. We are proud of our yard; others have made positive comments as well. We look forward to working with Jack, Jason and his team on future projects that we might envision. We recommend their work highly.
Description of Work: J.C. Landscaping Company completed a landscaping job in our front and back yard this August. We were very pleased with their work. We had the following done: New paved walkway to sidewalk New asphalt driveway with cobblestone edges Removal of yews and other evergreen bushes around the house (front and back) New irrigation system Planting of several specimen trees/bushes New raised planter in front of porch Mulching of beds Reseeding in selected areas where grass was removed

THEY WERE PROMPT, BUT WE CHOSE ANOTHER SERVICE BECAUSE THEY WERE CLOSER TO WHERE THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED, AND BECAUSE THEY DON'T CHARGE OR PLOW UNLESS THERE IS 3 INCHES OR MORE OF SNOW.
Description of Work: WE GOT AN ESTIMATE FROM THIS COMPANY WHILE SEARCHING FOR SOMEONE TO PLOW A 2 FAMILY RENTAL PROPERTY. FOR DRIVEWAY, DOORWAYS, WALKWAYS, AND STAIRS, THEY QUOTED $60 FOR 0-3 INCHES, 80 FOR UP TO 6, 110 FOR UP TO 9, AND 140 FOR UP TO 12. ALSO ICE-MELT SERVICE FOR $36. THEY SENT THE ESTIMATE SOON AFTER WE CALLED THEM.

IT TOOK SEVERAL PHONE CALLS TO GET AN ESTIMATE, BUT WE WERE PLEASED WITH HIS WORK LAST YEAR, SO WE WAITED. HE DID CALL BACK AFTER I INFORMED HIM THAT WE WERE WAITING UNTIL SPRING AND WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT COST. HE OFFERED TO DISCUSS OTHER OPTIONS FOR THE SIDE WALKWAY WHICH WOULD DECREASE THE COST AND LEFT HIS E-MAIL ADDRESS TO REACH HIM IF I WANTED TO DISCUSS FURTHER. I HAVE NOT YET FOLLOWED THROUGH ON THIS.
Description of Work: WE WANTED A FRONT FLAGSTONE WALK AND SIDE CONCRETE WALK REPLACED WITH PAVING STONES. WE ASKED THE OWNER TO ESTIMATE THE JOB, BECAUSE WE WERE PLEASE WITH THE WORK HE DID LAST SUMMER, ALTHOUGH I EXPECTED THE ESTIMATE TO BE ON THE HIGH SIDE. HIS COMPANY WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL LAST YEAR AND HE WAS VERY HELPFUL IN DISCUSSING WHAT NEEDED TO BE CONSIDERED IN REPLACING THE WALKWAYS. HE BROUGHT UP THE NEED FOR DRAINAGE PIPE FROM EXISTING DOWNSPOUTS UNDER WALKWAY. WE DECIDED TO PUT OFF WORK UNTIL SPRING, PARTLY BECAUSE OF COST.

JC LANDSCAPING WAS ALWAYS COURTEOUS AND RETURNED ALL CALLS PROMPTLY. THEIR PRICES WERE VERY HIGH.
Description of Work: JC LANDSCAPING REMOVED SNOW FROM OUR DRIVEWAY AND FRONT WALK FOR ONE SEASON (3 TIMES). ALTHOUGH JC LANDSCAPING AGREED TO REMOVE OUR SNOW, ONCE THE SEASON BEGAN THEY REALIZED THAT OUR HOME WAS TOO FAR FROM THEIR OFFICE AND NOTIFIED US THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REMOVE OUR SNOW IN THE SEASONS TO COME. TO THEIR CREDIT, THEY STAYED WITH US FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE SEASON. UNFORTUNATELY, AS A RESULT OF THE DISTANCE, WE FOUND OURSELVES LAST ON THEIR LIST FOR SNOW REMOVAL OFTEN WAITING AT LEAST ONE DAY AFTER THE STORM BEFORE THEY GOT TO US.
