"Fanny Landscaping Inc. had reached out to me after I had started a search on Angi's List for someone to install a patio. I started the process in early/mid-September to have someone work on the project of completing/performing a patio Install. Alex(Fanny Landscaping Inc.) had first contacted me over the phone to get the basic details of what I was looking to accomplish and was quoted $2,500 to complete the job. After coming to my home to see the job and getting a full understating of what was required the quote was increased to $2,950 as additional material(Item 4, Sand, "Polly Sand") was still required before bringing Fanny Landscaping on board I had the patio hole dug to the area by 8-9 inches deep and previously installed and tamped ~1-2 inches of Item 4. While Alex was on site I explained the main purpose for this patio was to put in a hot tub/spa and to be able to use it as a patio. Within a week or 2, the work was started and completed quickly. It looked good upon completion and shortly after had my hot tub delivered and installed. Due to the cold weather I had not used my patio very often and had not noticed any issues with the patio itself until February 24, 2025 I had another project started and noticed the patio tiles were skewed. I then took a closer look and noticed that all tiles around the hot tub were no longer level nor were any of the tiles along my house. I immediately took pictures and sent them to Fanny Landscaping. I was called by a representative to schedule a time for Alex to come and take a look the next day. Alex had shown up on time and looked at the tiles. I asked him what needed to be done to fix the issue at hand. He told me that the tiles against the house because I have a new construction home will always sink, and even if he were to fix it, they would sink again. I was also told that because sand was used instead of concrete a hot tub would also "sink." When I asked why he didn't tell me that when I had it installed, he said that I never told him I was planning to put a hot tub on the patio and that he only installed the patio to my instructions. I tried telling him that I had told him about the hot tub on day 1, but he insisted he did not know that and that a concrete pad would be needed to fix the issue under the hot tub. I then again inquired what about next to the house and he again insisted that they would sink again. I had asked what he would charge to fix the issue, he had taken some measurements and left. A few days later I still have not heard back. Many tiles move when stepped on and due to their make are sharp and I couldn't see walking safely along the edge without breaking a tile or potentially cutting a foot if stepped on incorrectly."

"M&F Landscape was wonderful to work with and totally transformed the approach to my home. Nate advised and installed on a culvert and swale for an erosion problem. He regraded our driveway, brought soil in for grass, applied new gravel and rebuilt a rock wall. He was easy to work with, a great communicator, clear and detailed with his estimate and went the extra mile. We are thrilled with how everything looks. We highly recommend M&F and look forward to working with him again."

"If you need help with landscaping, taking out trees, regrading a lawn; breaking up concrete adjacent to the garage that was contributing to mold; if you need someone who is meticulous, is quickly able to assess the problem - look no further. Our property was a mess, looked neglected, and in need of a major â haircutâ . Calling Diversified Trades was the best thing Iâ ve done for our home, and meeting Greg was a consummate relief ..He is consistent, reliable and does fabulous work. We liked him so much that after he finished the landscaping project we didnâ t let him go : we hired him to remove our pool . He brought in all the heavy duty equipment, and just as meticulously, got the job done. No headaches. As I said : look no further if you need help with your property just call Greg at Diversified Trades. Youâ ll love your property again."

"CRE did an excellent job completing our hardscape project around our pool. It was a very big job including large retaining walls and incorporating new hardscape with existing hardscape. They were reliable, had great communication and the finished product looks like we have a resort in our backyard!"
