After multiple calls, he arrived - no plan, no suggestions, promised pricing and plan from my suggestions asap. Never came back - never submitted quote or any plan for work - never returned attempts to contact him. Very unprofessional. After a little research and reading other people's experiences with him, I count myself lucky for never starting with him. Do your research.

This guy is an absolute FRAUD! He doesn't answer calls, has more excuses than anyone, cannot do the job, and I will take him to court. I gave this piece of pathological lying filth every benefit of the doubt. I have pictures of the slop he built for me. He didn't build it, his immigrant laborer did. When the laborers arrived, I gave them cash tips and made them excellent lunches. Please let me know the web address to which I can send the pictures. I asked that there be weep holes built into the beds to facilitate drainage. Those holes were not built in. As a result, there was a rain followed by a freeze which ruptured the walls and split the seams. He promised to call me yesterday to give me a date in April when he would finally finish the third bed. That was 3 unanswered calls ago. He also promised to cover the cost of soil. Today I had a local man deliver soil to one of the beds because I'm anxious to start planting. Thanks to Brighter Views Landscaping, I didn't plant anything last year. I'm in my 60's, he stole one of the last seasons I'll ever have. Please send me an email address to which I can send the pictures to. Also place me on the band of neighbors and every other platform on which I can let people know what a filthy con artist Damien is. And for the sake of decency, please remove this animail's " deal" from the list. I should have contacted the list sooner, but sadly, this pig is an accomplished con artist who had me believing in him. My apologies to the list. Yours truly Craig Brown
Description of Work: he poorly built 2 of the 3 cinder block raised garden beds he promised me.

Damian was very responsive, he came by a few days after i first contacted him and gave me ideas of what to do around the yard. We reviewed everything that i wanted done and he came back with a reasonable quote within a week. The work was completed a few weeks after i put in the down payment and he even did some extra mulching that we had not discussed. The yard looks great and mowing will be so much easier now. He responded immediately whenever i had a question or sent him an email. Very professional.
Description of Work: Created new plant beds around the back of the house, around the utilities in the front yard, created a rock garden in a hard to mow area and mulched all the trees.

He didn't show up. I guess the job was too small for him or something!
Description of Work: The owner responded to my initial inquiry right away (nice!) - and got me an estimate quickly. I thought it was a bit high, but was totally willing to move forward and did not haggle. He said he'd call me back that day or the next with a start date. Three weeks later, after numerous attempts to reach him (voicemail usually "full" so couldn't always leave a message), he answered on a Monday and said I was DEFINITELY on the schedule for that week. On Wednesday I texted him wondering if he could give an ETA... he said it was still happening. Needless to say, he never showed up, and never called back or responded to texts, so I hired somebody else, who finished the job in one day for half the price.

Damien & Team are simply AMAZING. Our property looks GREAT. I would, and will use them again. Damien called after everything was done, to see if we were satisfied. I raved and raved about the work that was done.
Description of Work: They did the entire weeding around the house. They trimmed the bushes. They trimmed the plants. They sprayed a commercial brand weed blocker on all the weeded areas. They did just about everything we asked for, before running out of time.

This was a few months ago so some details are less specific. The work was all performed by a two person crew and the son of one of the crew. They did a great job and worked hard, but it felt a bit strange that they brought the kid. My negative scores all relate to the process of getting an estimate. The initial appointment the owner/Damian was a 'no-show" and admitted to forgetting about it when I called him. He was an hour late on the rescheduled date. Then even though I explained the job was to remove the overgrown shrub on the phone, he told me it was not worth coming back unless it was for a full day. Since I felt the day rate was reasonable and I had other things I could come up with to fill the day I agreed. When they came back to do the work, the owner dropped off the crew and left (also a surprise). As mentioned the crew did good work so ultimately I have no complaints about the work done, but the process of getting it arranged was unprofessional.
Description of Work: Removed a large overgrown evergreen bush, cleared medium sized overgrown fenced in area and some other general yard work.

Excellent work! Price included all materials and labor. Damian and crew were extremely hard workers, punctional, very professional and a pleasure. They made any adjustments requested as well as offered advice and options as the job progressed. We will hire again to do landscaping on the lakeside of our home in the spring.
Description of Work: Damian and his team cleared brush and small trees in a large area to build a fenced area for our dogs. They built a beautiful 2500 square foot, six foot high post and rail cedar fence with wire between the rails. They stained the entire structure to match the trim on our home. They added two small gates as well as a large driveway gate designed by Damian. We were so pleased with their work, we had them lay a couple of tons of gravel for our circular driveway as well as a 9 X 11 foot pad for a shed. Our neighbors also had Damian and crew do the same gravel work on their driveways as well as some landscaping.

Omar arrived, introduced himself and asked what I wanted done. I showed him the garden, and set him loose. He started work right away and proceeded to pull out the weeds and other growth that needed to be removed. He got the gardens all cleaned out. Didn't dawdle - this young man was a very diligent worker. However, it's too bad he didn't know weeds from perennials because pulled out all of my gaillardias.
Description of Work: Cleaned out a massively overgrown rock garden of weeds and small trees. Also weeded other small gardens in front of my house.

Damian was very professional and friendly. We explained what we needed done; he offered suggestions as well. We had a lot of rock that needed to be put all around our house and pool. Everything needed new edging. An area up front near the driveway entrance needed to be cleaned up, re-edged and mulched. We needed drainage put in near the garage. We had an area near the pool that had to be completely changed. He re-used some material we had to create a beautiful new planting bed with all new rock. Transplanted some plants and reshaped them; they look awesome..and he planted new ones in the planting bed. He arrived on schedule and they cleaned up very nicely. One of the new plants did not survive so he replaced it promptly. His employees were very friendly and very neat. It only took a couple of days to do everything. We are very happy with the finished project.

They showed up quickly after my initial call and were enthusiastic about the opportunity for the work. We discussed price briefly, we indicated no disagreement, and they told us they didn't like to quote a price on the spot. They said they would contact us with the price within a few days. That was about two weeks ago. No sign of life since then. If they didn't want the job, or couldn't handle it, why couldn't they at least tell us? Now, it's about three weeks later and we're back at square one.
Description of Work: We contacted Brighter Views after seeing the reviews here. We need ongoing care for our gardens. This would be a nice piece of regular, dependable work for a gardening/landscaping provider.

Great, these guys are great and they are a local business that cares. The work entailed, massive mulching of all the flower gardens (of which we have many), trimming of hedges and trees, edging, leaf blowing, vegetable garden make over (composted, tilled), rock garden design and I'm sure there will be more to come, all in all so far a 3.5 day job. Total costs includes all the mulch, compost and man work.

Brighter Views Landscape did an amazing job with my new walkway! They removed all the debris from my old walkway and the bushes! I am very glad I did the new walkway this year. I kept putting it off. It really looks great and now the front of my house looks beautiful. I was more than pleased with the amount I paid to have this all done. I thought it was going to cost me about $3 - $4,000. I definitely recommend Brighter Views Landscape to everyone!!
Description of Work: Brighter Views Landscape ripped out my old walkway, due to all the broken blocks / trip hazards and installed a new one. Plus cut down a couple of my bushes in the front of my house. Brighter Views Landscape will be designing me a new flower bed in the front of my house and installing plants, bushes, and trees in the upcoming week.
