Start to finish this was an amazing project. We added a composite deck with pergola and stamped concrete off of our kitchen. Jeff and his crew are master craftsmen focused on attention to detail. Jeff was so easy to work with creating and implementing this build. As the project progressed Jeff had great ideas that added to the beauty of our new structure. We envisioned this project taking several days. However, this went up and finished in less than a week. This is a team with impeccable character and meticulous attention to detail. What a beautiful addition to our home!

We contacted them in July. They said they were booked until "the fall". We said to put us on their calendar. I contacted twice in September and October. On October 1, this was their reply, "Just looking at the schedule, we do still have serval in front of you but thinking if weather holds up we should be getting to you no problem this month. I will contact you serval days before install." It is now November 19 and we have never heard from this company.

Response from A Handyman & A Greenthumb
We’re sorry to have disappointed this customer as we’ve not been able to get to their job in the time frame that was expected, but we are a first come, first serve, service provider, and usually booked out consistently 90+ days as communicated. As we mentioned in communications with them, that it’s all weather pending, and when the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’re unable to keep the schedule. As in any trade in the construction industry, there’s always flexibility in schedule.

Removed and replaced a deck in 2 days. Came back on a 3rd day to redo a few items I was not happy with. Jeff was very easy to deal with and more than willing to correct the items. Concrete piers are a little larger than I would have liked, but I guess bigger is more stable? This deck was curved on the front edge to match the preexisting deck and he said this was the first rounded edge, curved deck they had built. They removed and replaced the edge and front railing. The alterations to original finished deck were acceptable. I believe if it had been a squared edge, everything would have been fine. Jeff was insistent that I was happy before finishing up. The work area was picked up and cleaned appropriately when finished. I was told that if I discovered anything else to contact him and he would do whatever necessary to remedy it. Overall in the end I am pretty happy with the outcome. I took 4 different estimates (all were pretty close money wise) and decided to go with Jeff's company based on evidence of other work I had seen that his crew had performed. Also the other bids were wanting to make changes that I was not keen to. I believe I would hire them again on another project.

There were several people working on the two of them so they finished more quickly than we had thought it would take. They did a good job on both of them making our walks much safer when it rains (or freezes after a rain).

Excellent!!! Jeff came to our house on two separate occasions to discuss the work we wanted done. I was very happy that when our first estimate came in higher than we expected Jeff was willing to come back and help us find ways to reduce costs while still get what we needed. His crew performed a complete deck and patio removal. Poured a new patio with fire pit, added two block walls, and installed a beautiful cedar deck with pergola. They were punctual and cleaned up the site daily. We are very happy with the work completed and timing. I will definitely be using them again for other jobs.

We received constant praise from homeowner as we worked and completed the job! Not sure how it goes from "beautiful work" to "they did ok". I also don't see a review for doing additional work that wasn't included in estimate at no extra charge!

I had 3 estimates and AHAG was in the middle. Previous reviews and the fact they provided an itemized quote were main factors in my decision. Shane listened to what I basically wanted, asked questions, answered questions and helped me understand what could be done to meet my goals. He said it would be a month before they would be available. Shane sent me a quote the next day and I accepted. It was about 28 days later that I got a call saying they would be there the next day weather permitting. Jeff and crew arrived 8 am the next day. Jeff reviewed expectations and they wasted no time getting started. That day and the next 2 days they arrived at 8 and began working. They were considerate of my driveway needs/path. They seemed to have concrete truck and supplies scheduled in a timely manner. They cleaned up everything when done. I still have some maintenance to do but glad to have it considerably reduced and Jeff gave me tips on how to and and what products I might use. They did a great job and the deck looks great. Happy with my choice and would hire again.

I called this company and set a appointment and Shane arrived at the appointed time. We told him we wanted a rock design since we recently found out we had termites. Shane put a design together in a short period of time on the spot and was the only company to do so and since his company was in the process of another landscaping job nearby he was able to have the work done the following day. Although he didn’t have as many plants/bushes etc in the design as the other two places we spoke with I can now see after having to stay on top of watering what we have that it was actually a good thing. I was a bit concerned about what he was going to use for the rock in the landscaping but after seeing the finished job I am extremely pleased with his rock choice and the boulders it really looks good. . The location of the trees he had installed in the front of our house were placed perfectly in my opinion. I highly recommend this company for any landscaping needs.

From the first call Jeff and Shane were promot to return calls and always in time when we had an appointment. They know their lanscaping and made wonderful suggestions. When I did not like a particular plant, they offered others that fit. They were great at listening to what I was looking for before coming up with their plan. Highly recommend!

The guy was late to the appointment. He did call, but was late nevertheless. I had to call him several weeks later to have him send my bids that I requested. When I showed irritation on the phone he got smart with me. Not very professional. I asked for 2 specific bids in 2 totally different price ranges and that is not what I got. He said he didn’t remember my request. I will never use him and have told others the same already.

Sorry for inconvenience and that we didymeet your expectations, but we looked through our estimating software and saw we did send you two separate bids with different prices. Also, we looked through call logs and emails and didn't see where you had contacted us back with questions or changes. Last but not least, we apologize for being late, but we did call to let you know, and outside of that, you could've of canceled your appointment if there was so much riding on us being there at the exact time.

They handled everything beautifully. My only small complaint is that it took quite a while, but they did warn me that it was a small job and they would have to fit it in. They were competent and polite, and cleaned up very well afterwards. If I had it to do again, I'd be more specific about what I wanted in the bed, because I'd have put better soil there (they just used stuff they dug up from the yard), but that was my fault. Overall, I'd hire them again in a heartbeat. They were pleasant people to have around.

This the third or fourth time I've used them. I bought a new home & the landscaping was pretty much neglected. They came out, tore out everything, straightened out the stone planter, planted some low maintenance items, and remulched the areas. They also buried a downspout line under the sidewalk for me to keep water from being in the walkway. Just like the other times, they did an excellent job.

We were very pleased with the design and construction work done by Jeff and crew. They completed an extensive project in 4 work days. The team was professional, polite and they cleaned up the work space every day. The space they did for us is lovely and I would highly recommend this company. I do suggest you contact them well before you want to start your project. They seem to be very busy at all times and sometimes, timely communication was a bit of an issue. Nothing that would stop us from using them again but be prepared to have some patience.

The quality of work exceeded our expectations. The crew was well organized and worked quickly and efficiently together. They completed the entire job in just four days which was no easy feat considering the scope of the job and the poor access behind the house where the retaining walls needed to be built. We highly recommend them and will be using them again.
