We had what we felt to be a fairly large project following renovation related demolition of the back yard: including a hardscape paver patio that had to fit around an existing rounded structure, a hardscape raised planter, drainage design and structure, a pond, a flagstone path and an array of sun and shade plantings including trees. Who knows how your intuition works but we were feeling discouraged in our search for the right team until we came upon Crenshaw. On paper it seemed a good possibility with experience and reputation. Once we met with Chris we were comfortable that we had found the right source. We were not disappointed. Chris spent some time to get the feel of the area. He was contemplative, thoughtful, and creative in helping to put our ideas into a plan. He is clever and experienced and has a good feel for nature and surroundings and quickly grasped the natural feel we were hoping for. Knowing how busy landscapers are in spring we contacted him in the winter and were able to get the work done before spring ended. He had a great crew of 5 which included him right in the middle of every detail. It was done the right way with extra touches and done efficiently. The final result was better than we had imagined. The work was perfect and they kept everything clean and not only took good care of the property but added extra touches. It was a large project, but reasonably priced. The quality was topnotch and that along with all the materials, the large crew, the time and heavy equipment needed and all the plantings made it well valued. Chris and his crew felt like family by the end of the project. We would and will use Crenshaw Landscaping for any future needs without reservation.

Chris and his crew were very friendly and professional. Chris listened to our ideas and made suggestions that ultimately proved ideal. The most impressive thing was Chris’ attention to detail and precision from every aspect of the job. He alone laid 95% of the pavers while the crew assisted. To see the plan from painted borders to moving tons of dirt to the finished product was amazing. The drainage was a very big problem for us, but that has been rectified by the Crenshaw crew. Since the job has been completed we have had a few inches of rain and not a single puddle formed. The drainage was pitched beautifully. I would easily recommend Crenshaw Landscaping to anyone that wants true quality that will not only look good now, but for years to come.

Hi [Member Name Removed], I'm sorry you didnt get my estimate. My notes say that I sent an email estimate to the email address you provided on 2/1/18, 8 days after our meeting on Jan. 23. The estimate included the front retaining wall and labor for a back retaining wall using your left over wall blocks. The email didnt bounce back and I didnt get a response from you that you had decided not to do the work. Chris Crenshaw Owner Crenshaw Landscaping
Great. Chris and his crew created 2 beautiful patios for us. He was a joy to work with. We wanted someone we could trust, who performs work as if he was at his own home. Chris went beyond our expectations. We will enjoy our new patios for many years to conme.

It was a pretty big project and it took some time to get all the pieces coordinated, but it came together very nicely. We made lots of changes along the way and Chris was patient and calm through the process. He also has great attention to detail, picking up things that needed to be changed without us asking. Felt like he was building it for his home.

Crenshaw Landscaping was terrific to work with. Chris was very collaborative when it came to working through the layout with me and recommending the right plants for what I wanted to accomplish and what would do well in our yard. His crew (which includes him) was a pleasure to have working around our home. They have the right tools for the job. They were finished in a very timely manner and we just love our new back yard. And the final price and the end result were exactly what we agreed upon. I happily recommend Crenshaw Landscaping.
Description of Work: We did a significant landscaping makeover in our back yard.
Chris and his crew did an excellent job. The result was exactly what I was hoping to achieve. They finished the job quickly and it looks great.

Chris was great to work with. Not only did he do a great job in my yard, but he even gave me some tips about how to care for other plants that were already in my flower beds. I've had a few follow up questions since the work was completed and he's always responded very quickly with advice. His prices are very reasonable. I would definitely recommend!

While it took a while to get the sod due to the weather, Chris remained in contact the whole time. Once it was available they got out and knocked it out in just a few hours..

Chris came out for a look and said he would email me with a price. I waited for 3 weeks, called after 2 (I asked if he had an estimate ready and his answer was "no") I have yet to hear back from him. Apparently he was not interested in the work. I wasted 3 weeks waiting for an estimate. I know this is a busy time but seriously! Don't waste your time waiting for this guy. I will find someone who actually WANTS my business. FYI. I have been an Angie's list member for years and have NEVER written a negative review. Apparently this problem is pretty common with Crenshaw Landscaping. I should have read the reviews a little more carefully!
Description of Work: Absolutely nothing. Apparently too busy to get an estimate together.

Sorry your estimate slipped through the cracks. March, April and May are busy times for us . As owner I spend a lot of time on the job with the crew in addition to spending 2 hrs twice a day with new potential client meetings. I should have asked, and usually do, for your time frame and explained ours so you would have had a better idea of what to expect. If money is no object, let me know ahead of time and I can make up a high enough estimate number to give you an answer right away but prefer to work up a more accurate estimate for the best price for your project. It takes more time on my part but most members appreciate the savings opportunity. .

Chris quickly responded to set up a time to get a quote for the work. We discussed what he felt would do well without too much maintenance. Within a couple of days, I received the quote and accepted his bid. He said it might take a few weeks to get the trees, but he was here faster than I was expecting. The work was completed in one afternoon. Everything went well! Chris did what he promised and I would retain his services again. Many thanks!
Description of Work: Planted three trees, changed out the beds in front of the house by removing some old plants and adding new one. Mulching of beds and around the new trees. Also, a dead tree was removed from the yard.
Chris and his team did a fantastic job, both on time and on budget. We talked about a concept, he designed it, priced it out, and after my changes, agreed to a start and end day. Chris took extreme care to details, from laying out the foundation to competing the last paver. Very Meticulous. I have started enjoying my fabulous patio, fireplace and sitting wall, Great job. Would definitely use him again and totally recommend him, to neighbors, family and friends that are looking for a very good landscaping experience.
Description of Work: Designed and built a patio with a fireplace, firewood boxes, a sitting wall and a paver ground.

Chris did an absolutely fantastic job. He paid attention to every detail and was more than patient in dealing with all my little picky concerns. He met with me on several occassions to drive through the neighborhood to look at other yards and to discuss the layout and color of the retaining wall. His workers were friendly and did an excellent job in cleaning up after the job was completed. Chris became more of a friend than a hired landscaper during the project. I would definitely use him again and totally recommend him, with 5 stars, to anyone seeking a landscaper.

Chris and his crew did a great job. We'll definitely be contacting them for future jobs. Our backyard is very sloped and Chris came out and created a plan to give us some usable space at the top of the yard and under our deck. The wood retaining wall looks great and they cut down some very overgrown bushes. It took longer than we expected to get the estimate (1-2 weeks) but once the estimate was in the work was completed very quickly (the next week). The crew cleaned up after themselves extremely well and we even received some unexpected sod that was left over from another job.

.Very disappointed. Makes me wonder how he got his high rating on Angies List. Makes me wonder if Angies List membership is really worth it.
Description of Work: Mr Crenshaw came to my home and looked at my project, and told me he was leaving the next day for a 10 day vacation and would give me a quote when he returned. After about 3 weeks and no word from him, I called him. He said he planned on working on the quote that very evening. That occurred 3 weeks ago and I still haven't heard from him.
