CCL Gardens

Description of Work: I hired CCL Gardens to put in a small lawn for me in mid-June. The owner, Bert Saal, was my point of contact. He promised I would be mowing my lawn "by the 4th of July". A CCL crew came over and tore off the top layer of the existing lawn, leveled it, added 4 inches of top soil, seeded it and laid straw over the top. I was instructed to water it for about 40 minutes daily and told to call with any questions. I paid in full upon receipt of the invoice, which was about $1800.

Description of Work: I call and that day they came out gave price and the NEXT day they where there!!! My yard had not been cut AT ALL before it was done by them so my grass was very tall and unruly!! They took no time at all to fix that!!!

Description of Work: We have used Customers Choice Landscaping for landscaping.

Description of Work: Put in a new lawn

Description of Work: Customer Choice Landscaping was hired to put in a lawn and driveway in at our new house. We had not moved in yet and lived quite far away, so we TRUSTED "Bert" the owner, with the job. He turned out to be a "big talker" and ended up disappointing us to say the least! We had told him we needed to trust him to do the very best job possible, as we could only be there on weekends. He, in turn, assured us that he would oversee the entire project first hand being at our home every step of the way! This did not happen! He dragged his feet for months to get our lawn in before the snow. Finally completing the job the beginning of November! He actually subcontracted the cement garage apron (without our knowledge} to a couple of guys, who obviously did not know what they werre doing. We did meet with Bert the weekend before the cement work was to be done, and at that time, we again asked if he (Bert ) would be present, and he said, "certainly"! I had also offered to cover anything with plastic sheeting before we left for the week--he replied, "Not necesssary--my guys do excellent work and are very neat The guys who did our job, did sloppy work! We had cement splattered all over our new house. Cement all over the siding, the service door as well as both garage doors! No attempt was made to clean up before they left. When we complained about it, Bert's reply was, well we usually have the garage doors open before we pour new cement but you weren't home! He said he would come out with the cement guys to "fix" the problem. We had to go back to work out of town and hoped it would be taken care of by the following weekend. Well, he sent the cement guys out, did not come himself, as promised, and the idiots used muratic acid to "try" to remove the cement from the doors and took the paint off to bare steel. It is now the 2nd week in November--too cold to repaint brand new garage doors! At our insistence, Bert replaced the 2 damaged panels. I managed to clean the cement off the service door--took me over an hour! Unfortunately, a year later, the house siding is still all splattered with cement! Sidewalk doesn't come close to being level, I won't even go into the stone steps fiasco!! The black dirt fill that was supposed to be clean and screened was full of broken glass! Bert had said he would "personally go out and choose the fill dirt to make sure it was 'top quality' before it was delivered"--yeah RIGHT!!!! And the driveway washed out from the rain this Spring and when we complained he stated, (he) "was 'more than fair with us' replacing our 2 garage panels..." REALLY???!!! He never came out to even look at the driveway...All CCL's contracts state "all work guaranteed for one year" Good luck with that! Do not do business with this company!!!
