Bought a house in Brentwood with a large, sloping backyard. My husband and I wanted to find someone to terrace it out so our 2 girls would have a place to play and I could have a garden again. I found Chris when another highly recommended contractor told me he wouldn't break ground on a "small" job like ours for over a year. At the time I felt dejected, we have had terrible luck and experiences with GCs in the past, but it ended up being a true blessing in disguise. Not only is Chris Crenshaw a fantastic landscaper and contractor, he is one of the most wonderful people I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with. I only wish we had more work for him to do because we genuinely enjoy having him around. Heck, I tried to talk him into doing our bathroom and kitchen remodel, but he said he "knows better than to do that." Yeah, can't blame him there. The work he did was superb. He took the time and the steps necessary to do it right. The end result is both beautiful and of the highest quality. He was timely, honest, fair, hard working, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took time out of his work to advise me on setting up the garden, to hang the most epic rope swing for my girls, and to educate my husband on chainsaws and brush management for the rest of the property. I cannot understate this: He is simply amazing.

We were very pleased with Crenshaw landscaping. Chris listened to what we wanted, gave us ideas, was flexible and above all positive. Compared to another I was working with, he was easy to communicate with. The work was quality and we learned so much about the trees and plants. His price was very reasonable.

Beautifully!! Chris and his crew are top notch. The quality of his work is incredibly high and the outcome is beautiful. We had a 70' retaining wall built for our pool with landscape lighting and it is prettier than the pool! The work area is clean, he is a great communicator and you get value for your $ spent. On top of doing quality work, he and his crew are just a pleasure to work with. We look forward to our next project with Chris and his team!

Chris came out to look at the work and was initially very responsive. He was supposed to send over an itemized quote for the various work...that was 2 weeks ago and it's been radio silence. Called him twice. When I finally caught him, I asked about if he was going to send a quote and he said "no, not at this time". Thanks for wasting my time and being unprofessional. If you're not interested in the work, fine just say so when you come to look at the job. Don't ghost someone and then not apologize.

Response from Crenshaw Landscaping
Your project did not fit with the work we do and I let you know that before I left that I didnt feel we were the best fit for your projects.. Your holly trees were 2 stories tall and too tall for us to trim safely. I did not have a solution for your patio and drive all draining into one area in your yard that had no outlet. I gave you a price on site for trouble shooting your lighting where the recent tree work damaged the wires and you indicated my price was more than you thought the project was worth. You also indicated you had 3 other bids for the work. As far as time goes I invested 30 minutes each way to come visit your site and 1 hr of my time at the site visit. You didnt offer to compensate me for my 2 hrs of wasted time. As a contractor and owner of the company I try to screen projects for fit before I invest the time for a site visit and try to be up front with potential clients about our capabilities and limitations but it is all based on the information offered in the initial conversation. The better you can describe your situation and projects to me the better I can determine weather a site visit would be a waste of either of our time. I am sorry you didnt get a 4th bid on the work from my company as soon as you would have liked. Chris Crenshaw .

Chris and the entire team did an absolutely great job. They were competitively priced and very knowledgable. Once selected, Chris kept in continuous contact about the schedule as they were fighting the rain. The wall removal and construction went well. They were very thorough about the construction and the proper approach to stepping down a sloping site. The wall is beautiful and better that I expected. Simply, they did a great construction job. They were so good that I have hired them to do more landscaping on my yard. Would rehire in a minute!

Chris answered all of my (many) questions before, during, and after he completed the work. He (and his team) came out exactly when they said they would and while only one of his solutions was approved by our association, while here, he took what extra "materials" he had and did part of the extra work for us. He certainly went above and beyond when the association wasn't willing to pay for the WHOLE job. He installed a drain pipe with holes and covered it in gravel to let in water that would drain away from the house and out into the yard. They used the excavated extra dirt to raise our stepping stones about 1 " and reinstalled reinstalled them with small paths between to let water get to the drain and eliminate them flooding. He also added dirt between the steps and A/C unit and between the A/C unit and adjacent building corner to further help with keeping water out of our basement.
Description of Work: Our house is at the bottom of a hill and we were collecting water from neighboring homes bringing water toward our home. We were getting water in our underground finished basement when it rained and weren't exactly sure of HOW to fix the problem due to our location. Our stepping stones and overall area were also flooding with every rainfall. Chris came out to evaluate the situation and determined what was best to solve the problem. He came up with a two-pronged solution that he felt would best keep our basement dry while taking care of the flooding as well.

Chris was incredible...he reached out and showed up when he said he would. His price was extremely competitive and after a long series of other contractors not showing up or giving mediocre results he was amazing. We had a few follow up issues that I asked him to come back and do and he knocked them out in short order. I can't recommend him highly enough...definitely an A+ rating.

Chris and his team were great. They were always on-time and were very responsive. The area where we put the patio had some challenges. It was sloped, rocky and adjacent to our wooden deck. We also wanted a surround for a sunken hot tub. We had a general idea of what we wanted, but Chris made some great suggestions and the final design turned out perfect. He definitely knows his stuff and we will definitely use him again for our next project.

I asked Mr. Crenshaw about pining the edge of the sod that is on an incline in order to keep the rain from rolling it back and also getting underneath the sod, keeping it from adhering. He said if that happened he would come back and pin it. As you can see in the photograph, that's exactly what happened. I did not call Mr. Crenshaw to come back

We would have been glad to come back and repair the sod. From the picture you submitted it looked like a small corner of one piece of sod. It also looked like it could have been pushed up by a mole in the yard. If if was a mole then us could use the Taliprid brand of Mole bait worms or their scissor type traps to get rid of the moles. We always want out customers to be happy with the work we do and are glad to offer solutions or fix problem areas. Chris Crenshaw Owner Crenshaw Landscaping

They were fabulous. Got to our project one week after initial estimate and completed work in a week. All of the crew were very pleasant and professional. Chris even came on Saturday to finish up and on Sunday to check that the work was satisfactory. Plantings around new patio and walkway are great with good advice of selections. We are very pleased and would definately use them again if need arises.

Hi [Member Name Removed], I am confused about your review. When we talked on the phone in late October I informed you that we were working on a big project across town and that I wouldnt be able to meet with you util the first week in December. I called and left you a voice message on your phone Dec 3rd requesting a meeting time to look at your project and received no response from you. I also attempted to contact you via email and Angies list message board with no response. It appears that you had forgotten about my indicated time constraint. I would be happy to schedule a time to look at your project if you still have a need. Chris Crenshaw Owner Crenshaw Landscaping

He did the project for me and it was not good and after the work was done, He was going to charge me at least $2000.00, so I sent a note, and it looks like that the note was submitted through Angie's List, so he dropped the price to $1000.00, In my note its says that his work is not worth $2000.00.

I'm sorry you were unhappy with the 2 days of work our 4 man crew completed at your house last July.Since I was on the property both days I have accurate recollection of the work done. I did my best to advise you that the timing was wrong for the summer flowering crape myrtles and rose of sharon. These should be trimmed in the winter after the blooms have dropped not in the middle of their peak bloom. We did the work specified in my proposal to you and expected the payment in full at completion. We re-trimmed all of the bushes a second time at your personal direction to remove another truckload of brush from your property. Payment was only received for half of the contracted amount which happened to be all you wanted to spend on the work requested even though it was half of the contracted amount requested. Next time you would probably not need a 30 yr professional to do your work instead just a day laborer with no experience. You still owe the balance of $1000 for the work contracted. Your review is not consistent with the quality of work and service we perform on a daily basis for many happy customers but I understand that we cant satisfy 1 out of 1000. Best of luck with your yard. Chris Crenshaw Owner Crenshaw

Chris and his crew were punctual, creative and professional. We were given a clear and fair quote with details about the costs and what was to be done. They cleaned up the area after every day's work. All of the workers were friendly and courteous. We would definitely hire them again and have already recommended Crenshaw to others.

He walked me through the options and I eventually decided on a stone wall replacement and pavers instead. He was accomodating with the color choice I needed and made sure to find the right pallette to match the surrounding features. Will have Chris return for another retaining wall replacement in the future.
