Alternative Landscapes and Snowplowing, LLC

Title: Avoid at All Costs ? Total Scam & Nightmare Zero stars if possible! Worst contractor ever for my new home landscaping project?cost me a fortune in money, time, & stress. Owner lied to snag the contract, claiming legitimacy when he wasn't city-approved or registered. Designer wowed me with gorgeous renders & promises, luring me into awarding it. Only the patio was OK, but not worth the insane price. Everything else: disaster. Cut corners with cheap materials?did not deliver promised flower bed quality work, uneven grading caused flooding, amateur hardscaping crumbled fast. They prioritized pocketing cash over quality. Involved attorney for a second chance; they "fixed" some superficially (one point for showing up), but ignored key issues like soil prep, irrigation, & structure. Yard's still a mess; I'm paying pros to redo it. Think 3x before hiring this scam preying on homeowners. Check registrations, hire ethical pros. Run for this scammer!

Matt was great to work with.

Matt and his crew are the hardest working contractors we've ever worked with. Attention to detail, customer service, and responsiveness was beyond expectations. Well done! Highly recommend and will hire again for future projects.

Very friendly and knowledgeable. Responded quickly to my request and fair prices. Still waiting for the proposal.

Matt is amazing! He came out, gave a very competitive bid for a larger project we have, and got his maintenance crew out within days to start mowing/edging our yard. He is also very responsive to every call or text. I feel like part of the family, which truly is amazing to find in a contractor! Matt and his crew came out on 6-22-16 to whip our unruly lawn into shape! They worked almost non-stop for 10 hours removing old misplaced landscaping, installing underground drains and regrading our back yard to remove excess water buildup near our foundation! I am beyond happy with the results and the timeliness of their work! I so wanted to post pictures in my review of before/after because there is such a dramatic difference and all for the better! If you have any lawn/landscaping project, I highly recommend these guys! Every step of the process will exceed your expectations!

No comments.

Matt sodded our yard in our new home along with prepping the beds for landscaping. He and his crew were done in one day and the yard looks great. Its the greenest in the neighborhood! Very neat and courteous. The driveway and walks were all spotless when they were done. I hope to have a long relationship with his company between landscaping, mowing the grass and plowing our snow. I highly recommend his service.

Quality lawn mowing service!

Hard Working and finished the job the day after we agreed to the work which was much appreciated.

Matt installed front and rear lawns (Kentucky Blue) and large flower beds with plants in the summer of 2010. Sod has still not grown into the clay soil even after three years! But my fault for not insisting on a layer of soil over the clay. Also, I have very large trees that provide too much shade. Grass is pretty good in most places where the sun shines, but not all. Have very large patches of creeping that I had to kill, even though Truegreen maintained it: Now 25% of rear lawn is dead. Matt never followed up to see how it went. But my fault for not calling him. I still recommend Matt, but do your homework. Each installation is unique.

So far so good.

We are very happy with the total outcome. The finish date of the work was a rushed affair. The surface of the patio needed additional work by us to make it look presentable. Also, the dirt ordered for garden boxes was to be "good garden soil", it was not. However, the overall look of the entire project was acceptable and very much like what we had hoped for.

Matt responds to inquiries in a timely manner and his crew do a very complete job...excellent.

So far so good with mowing service. Plan to have him do spring clean up too.

Excellent work, kept in touch as weather was not cooperating. Very thorough and conscientious.

Fast Friendly service, great job, good price

Matt was a pleasure to work with. He spent the time to explain our different options, how the pricing broke down, and why, and gave recommendations as to what he would do for a new lawn installation. We ended up choosing to sod vs. seed. Matt did a good job on the site, and everything was performed as explained verbally. Matt is also following up regularly to ensure the lawn is rooting and installing properly. He is doing everything he can to ensure we are happy with the job. Matt's crew was very nice and personable as well. They worked long days to get everything done on time.

Matt's response to my request was quick, and they did the work the next week. They did exactly what I wanted them to do and did excellent work. A very professional operation.

I would just stay that they give a great value, the hardest working crew.
