They did a great job trimming a large amount of very unruly and neglected hedges. They were very easy to talk with, answered all my questions, worked around my schedule, and were fast and efficient. I look forward to hiring them again.

Details: Residential • 6-10 shrubs • 5-7 feet tall

Nick and his crew did a very professional and reasonable job. They communicated with me and went above and beyond to get a challenging installation completed. My Retaining Wall is outstanding I can't recommend them enough!

7 bushes were removed from front of our house and some new bushes and flowers were planted that will deter the deer from eating them. Also got new dirt, mulch and weed killer. Sculpted the front of bed. Nick was fantastic! He explained everything in detail what he was going to do. He also gave us a surprise and planted some beautiful flowers for us that we didn't know about at no cost. We were very satisfied with Nick and his crew and now we want him to do some landscaping in our backyard. I wouldn't hesitate hiring him again.

Hired Nick based on on our meeting, and felt I would get the personal touch and not be just another customer. Was a couple days delayed to start because of weather but that was fine. Work took a little longer than expected, but overall was ok. What my issues is, some things not as promised, and once checks were given, other things were not done as promised. 1. Paid $200 for this ultra high duty 15 year warranty landscape roll. Was supposed to be given leftover of roll(which I mentioned as it sat in Wheelbarrow. Nope. That was taken. 2. One of ornamental grasses that was planted was left unwatered at Bison Nursery, and Nick said if it did come back he would replace. It didn't come back. Is Dead, and has not been replaced. 3. The Metal Edging was supposed to be black, I didn't realize until after job complete and I look at my notes on quote, it's silver, and stakes to hold in is rusting after week, 1/2 coated black, 1/2 steel which all are rusting. 4. Laid landscape stone around my pool. Very thin layer as pockets of the landscape fabric can be seen in a couple places. 5. Was supposed to come back with 3 yards of topsoil to spread and finish so I could plant seed a few days after main project complete. Hasn't returned any of my 4 emails(We emailed prior, including me sending pics of before project, and on day prior to him scheduled to do topsoil, so emails are going through). Anyways, after spending over $3000, I expected more, especially since original quote was $2100(plus $400 for trees/shrubs). In my pics, you will see dead grass, rusted stake, and bare spot from lack of stone.
McCrea Landscaping's reply
Michael I'm sorry your experience was not as good as you hoped for. But we had a tight window to complete your landscape before your daughter's birthday so we pushed back other customers to accommodate you which is fine cause we work with our customers.but when we showed up you had dug a trench left around of soil for us to get rid of so we took care of it built you 2 extra beds from the soil you just left there then had to buy more bushes for those beds plus mulch so that's an extra charge an added on a couple of more hours of labor so we went into the next day then we upgraded you from the steel edging which is black to the better aluminum edging which is silverso it wouldn't rust on you from the pool water. plus we were not responsible for the grass because you insisted on buying the plants which I got for you at my price to help keep the price down . I'm sorry we worked with you to keep the price down since we graded your backyard sodded your backyard installed edging all around your pool used 15 yards of stone planted over a dozen trees an bushes plus some flat stones to go from your shed to your porch for a walkway.all for a cheap price.i truly am sorry we did not do enough for you.
