Fougere Landscaping, Inc

If I could give Luke and his team 10+Stars I would. Here are some of the reasons I chose to work with Fougure and specifically Luke: He is easy to reach; easy to discuss the project(s) with; reasonable quotes; professional and most importantly, the job that he and his team did is FABULOUSLY OUTSTANDING.

We were interested in adding a firepit to our yard but were unsure of how or where to place it in our yard. We met with Luke Fougere, the owner of Fougere Landscaping, and he suggested we extend our existing patio to accommodate the fire pit. He then designed an extension to our patio which included a gorgeous circle kit. Luke was great at design and implementation of his ideas. Luke estimated the job would take two days and he held true to his time line. Within two days, the area was dug out, the patio placed and the fire pit built. He loamed and seeded the grass surrounding the work area. Furthermore, he extended our flower beds, added two dogwood trees and mulched the area. We also had Fougere Landscaping add irrigation to our existing flower beds. The crew did an amazing job of adding to our existing patio that one can not tell where the old patio ends and the new begins. It is seamless! Similarly the flower beds were extended and blend right into the rest of our landscaped yard. The irrigation that was added works perfectly with the rest of our system! Luke and his crew were extremely professional. They were respectful of our family and our property. At the end of the first day, the site was cleaned and organized. Following the completion of the project everything was put back into place, patio swept clean and driveway rid of all remonance of debris. We were extremely pleased with the work done and look forward to working with Fougere Landscaping on future projects.

We haven't moved forward with the work yet. They came out in the spring, but it was too late for me to do the work that we needed done, and so he wanted me to wait until fall. All the companies that we called said it was not a good idea to get it done then, because it was about to get too warm. They were one of 3 people that we called. They were very knowledgeable, and they gave suggestions on how to make it look better and I appreciated that. I appreciated the honesty that we should not start on the project because it was too late. Their quote was timely and put together well.

Luke and his crew did an amazing job with our property. It was a pleasure to work with Luke. He was extremely knowledgeable in planning/designing the new patio. He even helped us with ideas on how to redesign our deck. He gave us a variety of materials to choose from for the patio and accenting walls, spent a good amount of time going over the positive and negatives of each product allowing us to make an informed decision on which pavers to use. He gave a detailed estimate which in the end came within dollars of the actual price. His crew was very friendly and professional. They were careful with the work site, cleaning up very nicely at the end of each day, and respectful of a family of young children. When building the patio, they took great care in making sure the ground was level and prepared before laying the brick. Luke made sure the pitch of the patio was correct so that rain water flowed smoothly off the patio and down the lawn. Furthermore, he reworked our gutters so that rain water would not puddle onto the patio. Luke,himself, was very involved in the project. He made sure the bricks were cut to perfection. Whenever there was an issue or concern, he was very open to hear about it and quick to address it without any hesitation. Luke was very methodical in installing the irrigation system. He was careful to make sure that the lawn had complete coverage by the system. He suggested that we install a second water meter to make sure we cut down on our sewer and water bill through the town. The system he installed has a rain sensor on it so as to not over water the lawn and cut down on the amount of water used. Our grass is much greener thanks to the amazing system. Our backyard was completely unlevel and covered in many weeds. Luke suggested we grade the area and reseed the back yard. He and his crew spent time spreading fresh loam over the entire backyard, raking, and spreading the loam to ensure the proper grade of the lawn. After the grading was complete, he and his crew spread seed over the area. On his own accord, Luke came back to check on the yard and the new growth of the grass. He reseeded and re-raked the areas that did not take as well as they should have. He also plans to add plantings in the spring to add to the beauty of our yard. Luke is a very personable landscaper. He takes great care in his work and it shows. He was very considerate of our family's needs and was able to work around our schedule. We would highly recommend him to others and will most certainly use him again in the future for hardscape projects as well as planting and landscape needs.

I told him that I would like to have two workers and that I have $300. He said that for that money I could have two guys for 3 hours worth of work, then it was $30 for a dump fee. This sounded good to me. He showed up the morning of the work with four guys and he stayed all day. So the bill I actually got was $930.00 which included the removal which ended up being $120. This is not what we agreed upon. He said they did not have the right tools once they showed up, he started the clock and then left to buy tools for an hour. He was also an hour late on top of that which I got charged for as well. He kept asking if I wanted him to do more work and we had never said, ok this is where we will stop. The last contact I had with him I said thank you for the work, let me know what I owe you. He did not give me the invoice until October. After receiving the invoice he was very threatening, since it was so much above what we had agreed upon I have been paying him. He is saying that he has not received the last payment from me, which is not possible. He keeps threatening to take me to small claims court. We had set up a payment plan and I did stick with it. He does not acknowledge that I am in fact sticking with the plan, he keeps saying that he has to fight for his money.

Luke and his crew did a fantastic job. They removed all the scrub brush and the rotten downed trees in our back area to open up the area for future use. They used the bobcat to remove the top layer of soil and tear out the roots of the brush and thorns. They piled up the bulk of the rich topsoil behind our shed so we can use it elsewhere. The work was completed quickly and they took great care using the bobcat so as to not tear up the lawn closer to the house, and where some minor damage was done by the driveway, they came back on their own a couple of days later to add some loam and grass seed.

I am thrilled with the work. He arrived when he said he would. He removed the forsythia, cleaned the area and put down grass seed. He also came back a few weeks later to check on the area. He raked it and put down more grass seed. I recommended him to my neighbor and they had his company do some yard work. I would definitely hire him again.

Very well. Job was started within couple weeks, worked on full-time until done, completed on schedule, beautiful job, all done according to job estimate.

We get lawn mowing and spring and fall cleanups from Luke Fougere. Luke is a very personable young man. He is direct and forthright. His prices are reasonable and he is flexible on the scheduling of work.
