This is the second job we've used Riggs Landscaping for and I can't say enough about how impressed I am with his work. The first job was the installation of pavers from the driveway and onto the front steps, replacing the 'builder' cement. His experience shows, from the suggestions and implementation of sloping the terrain away from the foundation of the house which completely eliminated any water leakage which was occurring in the basement. I constantly receive compliments on how beautiful the pavers look! This job entailed the installation of a path from the front of the house to the back deck stairs. Most of the area was on a hill so it meant leveling it, putting in pressure treated lumber to build up the sides and burying the drain spouts. Perfect again! He cleans up, he's on time, and just an honest nice man. I would HIGHLY recommend him!

They did a great job, the patio looks amazing finished. Also, where the machines tore up the grass, they laid down grass seed to cover it, which was helpful. This is the second project I've had them do and would hire again without hesitation.

I recently bought a mountain cabin and discovered some challenges with water: the cabin is located in an area with a lot of streams and water flow, which can lead to flooding in the crawlspace. The land immediately surrounding the cabin had poor grading, leading water straight towards the foundation, where it was trapped with nowhere to go. I reached out to Jim at Riggs Landscaping to solicit help regrading the property. From initial contact through project completion, I was extremely impressed with Jim and his crew. Jim quickly came out in the Fall to take a look, offering suggestions for regrading the area around the house. Gutters in the back of the house went into corrugated plastic piping in the ground, which appeared to be clogged somewhere. In addition to regrading, Jim offered to replace the pipes in the ground. He initially suggested using corrugated plastic pipes, but I suggested upgrading to solid PVC, and he was happy to adapt his quote to accommodate that request. It was too late in the season to begin the work, but Jim stayed in touch with me over the winter and answered my questions. Then, once spring arrived on the mountain, we set a date for the work, which took three days. Jim was on site doing the work himself with two hard working crew members. They carefully regraded the lot, installing four new runs of 4" PVC pipe from the gutter downspouts into the woods. The property is very rocky, which increased the difficulty of the work, but he brought sufficient equipment to handle the job. Several heavy rainstorms later, the regrading is making a big difference, allowing water in the backyard to flow away from the house and into the woods. It was a pleasure working with Jim and I won't hesitate to use his company for future projects. The work was completed on time, was priced reasonably, and the final price matched the estimate. I strongly recommend Riggs Landscaping!
Description of Work: I've been dealing with some serious water drainage issues that have caused crawlspace flooding. To reduce the amount of water reaching the house, Jim and his team regraded the lot and installed new gutter drainpipes.

Mr Riggs was on time and got right to work. 2 1/2 days and the job was done. 4/5ths of that time was prep work for "the easy" part of laying the pavers. Very impressed by his, and his helpers, work ethic and skills. They even yanked out a dying tree I had and kept to his original estimate.

Description of Work: Removed old concrete slab sidewalk blocks and replaced with paver stone walkway. Riggs did a beautiful job and if I had money, I would have him here doing all kinds of other work! Punctual, professional, takes great pride in his work and cleans up beautifully afterwards. Awesome guy to work with. I didn't realize I forgot to leave feedback after the service was provided. Not exactly sure on date of service, but I am still extremely happy with my sidewalk!

Awesome experience with Riggs Landscaping. Jim and his crew took out our old sidewalk that was chipped and damaged and made it the envy of the neighborhood. We couldn't be more happy with the work done. He also delivered and installed 6 yards of mulch over all of our flower beds and gardens. He made sure they were edged neatly and removed any weeds. Such great work we'll be using them again. The walkway was approximately $3300 and the mulch work $650.

What I especially appreciated was the care taken to do the job right! He put in appropriate drains for downspouts, built up the flower beds with appropriate soil, fertilized all plants, and planted grass seed where bare spots were created from removal of dying trees. Because we are new to this area, I was also impressed by his knowledge of the plants and trees used in the landscape plan. He took the time to explain to me how to care for my new plantings. He and his worker were very professional and worked really hard to do a good job! I would recommend and use his services again! Well worth the money!
Description of Work: Jim created a plan that transformed our yard from mundane to fantastic looking. He increased the size of front yard flower beds and rearranged and planted new plants/trees that increased the appeal of our home site. For the back yard he created a beautiful large flower bed behind our morning room, improved a side patio flower bed, and planted several trees in the yard.

I will use this company in the near future to pave the front steps just for aesthetic reasons. GREAT experience! Thank you Jim!
Description of Work: We are experiencing some water leakage into the basement which is right below our outside steps entering the front of the house. We thought putting pavers over the current steps would prevent water from leaking down through the cracks. I emailed Jim to see if he could come out and give us a quote. He responded within 30 minutes and said he would be at our house within an hour, which he was! After looking over everything he said the steps weren't the problem, instead the drainage in other spots. He said we'd be wasting our money to resurface the steps. SO HONEST which is rare these days!

I can not recommend Riggs Landscaping highly enough! For this project, Jim and his crew removed an existing concrete slab, trees, plants and mulch, built a retaining wall, leveled a large area to fit playground manufacturer specifications, and added wood chips to the area pursuant to the install of the playset. This was a huge a job and, as usual, Jim was punctual, fairly priced, and did an excellent job. He also got the work done in a short time frame which enabled us to have the playset installed earlier than expected, much to the delight of our daughter (and her parents)! We weren't sure what exactly to expect with regard the guidelines the playground manufacturer needed, so Jim was kind enough to speak to the company directly to work out the details and specifications, and then do the job around those parameters. We are so thrilled with the finished project and have gotten so many compliments on how it looks. I was nervous at first given the large area we were digging up and dedicating to this project. (We had existing landscaping that was very nice.) But Jim's vision resulted in a beautiful finished product that looks very nice in the yard and is very polished. We also use Jim for our flower bed cleanups in the fall and spring, and he has done sod work for us as well. Work is always well done, and Jim is as kind and honest as the day is long. Highly recommend!!

We checked in with them daily to go over the progress, and they were quite willing to accommodate any small changes.
Description of Work: New Side Patio, New Walkway, Hardscapes Jim and his employee came on a Thursday, worked over the holiday weekend, and worked very hard over six days. We love the work they did, and found them to be very professional and respectful of us and our property. This was a big job that we have wanted to do for years, and couldn't be happier. We would highly recommend them to others, and will most likely call them in the future to fix our front yard too! Excellent. Touched base w/them daily to go over all the details and plans moving forward. Was very willing to work with us.

Jim was very responsive to our needs and listened carefully as we described how the run-off flowed down the poorly graded hill into our septic system and patio. He provided a very fair proposal, always arrived on time, provided multiple updates on the progress and did a very through and good job. Although the weather was very challenging, Jim worked through very limited windows of opportunity to complete the job quickly and efficiently. During the installation, it rained/snowed three times including a 2-4" downpour that left our backyard soaked (exacerbated by poor grading/drainage). Jim's equipment left significant ruts along the drainage trench as he completed the trench and filled with gravel, filter fabric and pipe installation. Riggs Landscaping did a fantastic job of repairing the ruts through backfill, grading and grass re-seeding. I was very satisfied with Riggs Landscaping quality of workmanship, customer service and professional competence. I would highly recommend Riggs Landscaping and will work with them in the future for other landscaping projects.
Description of Work: Poor grading in our sub-division has created drainage issues in the backyard including rain run-off into our septic system. Riggs Landscaping positioned 3-12X12" catch basins at the top of our property where the flooding was most profound. Next, Rigg's used 4" NDS pipe to divert the water past the septic system (and field), our patio and a playground area to an area where the ground could absorb the run-off better (~50' away from flood point).

We could not be more please. Jim worked with us throughout the project. He removed all of our original plants and disposed of them. There were several times during the process that we made changes to the plan, and he was able to meet our wishes by offering suggestions that we adopted or by accommodating our requests. For example, We had one plant moved from its original location and we had an additional plant put in that was not on the original plan. He had taken up some old concrete stepping stones that were from my wife's childhood home, because I had not said anything about keeping them. When my wife saw that they were gone; he and his assistant sifted through the plant materials that he had removed from our yard to find and replace them. The majority of the job was performed in two days at the end of September However, we wanted certain bulds and a ground cover planted along one side of our front walkway, and Jim found that the bulbs were not available during the first planting.. Jim kept in contact with us throughout the process so that we were never in the dark about what was happening. A thoroughly professional job. We definitely would use his services in the future.
Description of Work: Completely relandscaped my front yard and the adjoining yard of my neighbor, which we had jointly planned.

From the start Jim Riggs EXTREMELY nice. He set up an appointment to give us an estimate, gave us his professional opinions, and gave us catalogs to look through. We emailed him with lots of questions about colors and he actually dropped off several samples of pavers he thought would look best. When we narrowed it down he helped us pick the best combination. He was very responsive by email and phone. We chose a date mid-July he was happy to accommodate. We have construction going on around us we were hoping he could go through to avoid too much damage to the yard (he will reseed areas damaged). To make sure he could use it for longer, he asked if we wanted him to start sooner. We agreed and he arrived promptly July 5th! He actually does the work himself with another one of his guys. He even worked on the weekend! The work is still in progress but it looks EXCELLENT so far! They are very careful and are so happy and a pleasure with which to work! We are getting a 20x13 patio with stone steps and a 6x6 sitting wall. I will update the review when the work is complete (should be in 2 more days) and include pictures. We HIGHLY recommend Jim Riggs!!

Very happy in all aspects with Riggs Landscaping. Very prompt in getting back to me after I left a voice mail. Showed up as arranged to take a look at what needed to be done. Provided a professional, detailed and accurate quote for the work. Showed up when he said he would. Communicated with us as the work proceeded. Did the work we needed done sooner than we thought. The owner and one other person did the work. Everything was done as we requested. Highly recommend!
Description of Work: Sprayed weeds with Roundup, spread Preen, pruned butterfly bushes and willows, cut old growth from and divided many large grasses, transplanted the divided grasses, spread pine straw mulch.
Jim brought a laser to the sites to prepare an exact quote. Before work began, he knew exactly how much material each job would require. When rain was not delaying work, Jim and his helper worked continuously to finish the jobs. His attention to continuous effort and exacting detail was impressive. Jim gave me ideas for the triple terrace in back of my home which helped to reduce the cost. We have recieved many complements on both on both of the jobs. I received other quotes for the work that Jim did which were morecostly and one that was less. I'm glad I chose Jim Riggs for this work. His professionalism is outstanding.
Description of Work: Jim performed two large tasks: 1. A stone double terraced retaining wall along a side of my home. This included excavation, installing drainage, installing walls, tilling the ground areas, and re-seeding. 2. A triple terraced wood series of walls in the back of my home which goes down to a river. This entailed a large amount of excavation, drainage, installation of three 90 foot walls (two feet deep with drainage and gravel base) a. After a very exact quote Jim completed both jobs with great precision. b. When he finished, Jim rototilled and seeded all areas. c. Jim provided drainage under the terrace walls plus he tied in the downspouts for the house gutters to a drainage system. He even tied in my neighbor's downspout to the drainage system to ensure water did not collect near the walls.

We had a great experience working with Jim at Riggs Landscaping. He worked with us to design and select the stone slabs for our front yard. He was flexible when I decided I wanted to purchase my own stones. He completed the work promptly and we were very pleased with the outcome. We plan to use them again in the spring.

We trust this man so much that we will leave our house unlocked when he comes. We even tell him he can get a drink from the fridgerator, but he never does. He does exactly what he says he will do at the exact time he says for the exact price he tell you. All our neighbors are working with him too. He does a great job. I called him before my husband when I found out I needed a generator for my husband to come home on life support and he was there with in three hours getting it done. He is a great guy.

This company is very professional, curtious and quick to reply to your calls. He provided quotes and change in quotes when asked. His quotes were very detailed and you could see where every cent was being spent. He was probably the only one that came to our property and actually measured. His quote was in the middle of the range but unfortunately too high for my wallet. I under budgeted for this project lol...That said if I had the right budget I would use his services.

I’m an older lady and my husband recently had a heart transplant so what he. My neighbor recommended him and said that he is super honest and great. I was a little nervous because he was going to come while I was out, but he is like a member of the family now. If he says he is going to be here at 8:00, he is here at 10 ‘til 8:00 and sits in your driveway until it is time. If he says he is going to do x, y, and z for you at this price, it doesn’t matter if his crew gets sick, it will be done on time even if he has to stay until midnight to get it done. He is unbelievably reliable. Last year I called because I needed a retaining wall and a hole dug so they could put in a whole-house generator for my husband’s medical equipment, and he did everything. The company that put in the generator asked for his contact information because they were so impressed with his work. He charged me about 70% of what the other companies were talking about. I would recommend him like I would recommend my own child. He blows everyone out of the water. He also does beautiful hardscaping and I am saving up for a patio. He works really well with older people. He is totally reliable, his prices are excellent, he is always on time, and the quality of his work is absolutely perfect. If you don’t like something that he has done, he’ll come back the next day to fix it. When I was running back and forth to the hospital and I didn’t have the time to think about things, I just gave him a check for $500 and told him to do whatever he could with it. He got way more done than I thought he would be able to do. He also fixed my fence and said he would charge one day’s labor, but he ended up not having to stay all day. I wouldn’t have known if he was here or not, but he only billed me for what he worked.

I called Jim Riggs to come out and do some landscaping in my far overgrown yard. Jim sat down and worked out prices based on priorities. He actually budgeted out for me an itemized list of things that I needed to be done. Another time, he came out within two days notice to pour a slab in my yard for a generator. This man will have my business for as long as I am living at this home. He always keeps the customer in mind. He has been wonderful for me. He is reliable, timely, clean, punctual, and totally trustworthy.
Description of Work: Jim Riggs does my landscaping for me. This cost was for removing a giant shrub, taking down 2 trees, 2 other shrubs, and pull weeds and spray my half acre front yard as well as trimming my remaining shrubs. A few weeks later for $500 he came back and mulched my yard, edged, and hand weeded some flower beds.
