B KOLTON LANDSCAPE DESIGN & BUILD INC

Great job just as promised

I really liked Brennan. He seemed very knowledgeable and helpful with ideas etc for types of trees etc - he seemed like a real good guy. He came out and then sent me an estimate over a bunch of things we talked about and I decided to have some trees planted and others removed as well as stumps. Issue was every time frame I was given as far as the removal of the trees and stump grinding etc were never met. Had no idea when they were going to show up - would show up unannounced and took months to get them to come out and complete the work. I know he subs them out but he's the one I signed on to do the work through Tree guy also broke a section of my neighbors fence while felling a tree and said he would repair it, that was June and it hasn't been fixed yet (August).I expect that if they say they are going to do something that they do what they say they are going to do when they say they are going to do it - wasn't my experience this time. The crew that came out and planted the trees were great and very friendly and great. I wasn't under any time crunch but It drug out a very long time (and not due to weather) and I am glad I wasn't waiting on this work to be done to do other work in the yard... Overall was not a great experience and if your designing a landscape may be the way to go but after this experience I will probably go a different direction next time.

The entire experience was very easy, smooth, and we are quite pleased with the results. The scope of the work was to replace/create some beds where we had some trees removed. Brennan had extensive knowledge of different plant varieties, what would work with shade and our circumstances, and was able to advise on our options. We conferred on the options and together chose what would work best. The work was completed in a very timely fashion, and we were pleased each day when we came home. The crew was courteous and friendly and clean. We never felt inconvenienced with the work. We wholeheartedly recommend B. Kolton, and plan to use him again.

The shrub work and mulching was generally okay, except that one that was moved is now dead. Instead of killing weeds they killed the grass. I've been calling since October about the grass. Initially I was told that they had to wait for better weather. Around April I called to find out when they were coming. They finally came in May and over seeded. It came in very slow. All but the treelawn. I've been calling for weeks to find out when they will fix it. They don't answer the phone anymore but leave me messages in a very congenial tone that they will fix it. They were to have someone on another project in the area squeeze me in this week. Today's answering machine message says they won't be back until Monday. The entire lawn is full of weeds, the one thing they were supposed to take care of. Their initial work was done in October. It is now June the following year and not rectified. There's only so long that the "bad weather" excuse works.
