A Cut Above Landscape

While the work was done to our satisfaction, the contractor failed to check the local codes, and built a retaining wall andfence inside of the set back that is required by the city of Elk Grove. By the time we received the approval for the variance from the city, the charges added up to nearly the cost of the entire project. We contacted Ben Ritchey when we filed for the variance. He promised to "make it right". We have never heard from him again, nor have we been able to contact him. Not much of a Christian as we were lead to believe.

They did a great job. Good price and very easy to work with.

Quick work, good-looking results.

We hired Ben to landscape our front- and backyards. This included demolishing an old concrete patio, pouring a new patio, installing automatic sprinklers, installing sod, and planting several shrubs and smaller plants. We could not be happier with the results! From the first time we met Ben for an estimate to the final walk-through, he was courteous, informative, and completely professional. His crew worked for four and half days on our project and were polite and professional.as well. We love our new patio and yard! The price was an excellent value. We would use Ben again in a heartbeat and heartily recommend him.

EFFICIENT, GOOD SERVICE, RELIABLE, FRIENDLY AND REASONABLE.

We had a good experience with Ben from "A Cut Above Landscaping. He was responsive and listened to what we wanted. The price was reasonable. Ben was prompt at returning calls. Ben and his crew were very professional and neat. Would not hesitate to recommend him to my friends and family and will use him again in the future if the need arises. We are happy with the results.

Did an excellent job with the original work, were a little slow in responding to a couple of minor problem corrections.

Ben and his crew were very professional and neat in all work, replaced existing driveway, lawn with new sod and added sprinkler system all in four days. Most reasonable estimate I found in sacramento Valley..

very good and professional.

Prompt at returning calls. Listened to what I wanted and the price was reasonable. Very quality work, and I would use services again.

Plants-dead; hardscape installed incorrectly; promised a lot verbally, but didn't keep those promises. If you hire this guy get EVERY detail in writing. Make sure you can be there every minute of every day to make sure the work is done correctly. Don,t assume that they are professionals who know what they are doing. Crews were left without supervision for 80% of the work. Cement work was subbed out and not supervised they did a lousey job and made a big mess. All the trees are dying. The drainage is non existant. I am sick to my stomach every day for throwing my money away on this horrific mess.

Ben is the kind of contractor you enjoy dealing with. Professional, courteous, efficient. He drew up a landscape plan and worked with us to get it just the way we wanted. Prices were reasonable and he supervised all the work. His crew were hard working and meticulous in their attention to detail. Would not hesitate to recommend him to my friends and family and will use him again in the future if the need arises. It does not get any better than this.

We had an exceptional good experience with Ben from A Cut Above. My husband is an Architect and Ben knew he had a very knowledgeable and experienced person to deal with. My husband had a vision and a design on paper and in his mind. As the landscaping project evolved, Ben was very responsive to my husband and how to best bring about the vision and make it a reality. Needless to say, my husband, who is a perfectionist and quite talented in his ability to design things was incredibly pleased with all aspects of the work done by Ben. We will and have already referred Ben to others.

The work was done on time, done professionally, with as little mess as possible. The lawn looks great and I was very pleased with the workers and the timely manner the work was done. I would recommend them for all landscaping needs.

A Cut Above Landscape gave us a very fair estimate. They arrived on time, did the work thoroughly and quickly, and we're happy with the results.

the owner was very helpful he walked me through the entire process. they completed the job in just a matter of days rather than weeks. I would recommend this company to family and friends.

I have recommend him to friends and he just does good work.
