I rarely leave reviews, and I am an easy person to deal with but this was the worst experience I have had in hiring someone to work on our house. We chose Carlsons because we had a good feeling after talking with Richard. We explained our problem and he understood what we wanted. In a nutshell, the job was to breakdown a concrete pond, push down the concrete and fill it so it could be used for a garden or lawn-area. When it came to do the job, he had his brother do it instead and our yard is now a disaster. I wish I could include pictures for all to see. First, one side of the pond was not pushed down enough and is significantly higher on one side. The pond liner was supposed to be pushed down but is sticking out from the ground, clear as day. The fill they used has HUGE pieces of asphalt and concrete, and they spread it all over the yard, not just into the pond. They had leftover fill and just dumped it in a big pile at the end of our dead-end street. The neighbors are not happy and now I need to figure out what to do with it. After they dumped this fill all over the yard, we saw the guys take some of the really large pieces and throw it over our fence into our neighbors yard and into our backyard. After they **completed** the job, we decided to give only half until we talked to Richard, so he could fix and do what we originally discussed. He came back, took one look and was upset about how the job was performed - he was clearly upset with his brother. He apologized, admitted he should have been there and promised to make it right. We felt a lot better after our meeting because he promised to fix everything. Then, he started making appointments to come and kept on cancelling them. One thing after another kept coming up. Finally, he just stopped communicating and will not return texts or phone calls. This whole situation has literally made me sick to my stomach, and we will be picking up pieces of concrete, asphalt, and large stones forever. I would have loved to hire my normal landscaper, but he did not have the right equipment to do the job. When my regular landscaper came to do our yard, he was blown away about how terrible this job was performed, and he feels bad for us. He literally cannot landscape 1/3 of the yard because it is just rocks, concrete and asphalt. There is even more to say, but I am running out of room. Please, find yourself a different company to do your project.

Quality of work was great and solved a difficult erosion problem around my heat pumps & back patio. Scheduling was a bit difficult. But the job was well done.

Richard came and gave me an estimate for a mixture of sod and seeding all bare spots on my whole yard. The sod looked great when it was laid on Aug 13. But they didn?t bring enough seed. Richard said he would be back to finish it on Aug 21. He also was going to work on my mother?s yard next door as well. and didn?t show up. I had to contact him to find out why. He told me that it was raining where they were so ?we didn?t go on that route today.? He told me he would come Aug 28. The sod started dying so I sent him pictures on the 27 to ask him why. I had been watering it regularly. He told me he would check on it when they came out on the 29. Again, he never showed up and never let me know he wasn?t coming. By this time the sod was looking really bad. It looked like there was green mold along the dirt beside it and the existing grass that was beside the sod started dying. I sent him pictures Aug 31. He never responded. I sent him more pictures on September 4 of the sod with a fungus growth on it. He did respond and said he had contacted the sod farm to as them about it. On Sept 10 I again texted and ask if he had heard anything from the sod company and if they were coming to finish seeding the remaining yard. I have called him as well but haven?t heard anything. I will try pasting some of the pictures I sent him but don?t know if it will work in this format..

"When we were performing the estimate at this customer's house we had informed her that her mother's work was not enough work to make it feasible for a return trip. We communicated with this customer prior, during and after the project was complete. Since we cannot control what happens to the sod once it is laid we do not offer any guarantees on sod installs. Each customer is informed of this on the estimate that they are given. They are also given a guide to care for their newly installed sod once the project is complete. We are committed to customer satisfaction and therefore we refunded Ms. Beth E. a percentage of her project cost."

Rating Richard and his crew a 5 is not doing them justice. They were a 10!!! The communication from Richard was awesome and if needed he made himself available almost immediately. The work they did for me was excellent and even told me that if something needed to be corrected during the next phase of my project he would take care of anything that needed to be done. I would highly recommend this company and definitely would use them again!!!!

I ordered this work for my granddaughter, Long Distance! Richard visited her house quickly, listened to what I proposed, discussed with my granddaughter and got me a proposal within a day. Discussed changes, modified the proposal, started and completed the work within that week. Friendly and competent, Hard worker. My granddaughter is ecstatic with the result. I would hire him again in a heart beat.

Professional as well as friendly. Richard Carlson, the owner, was very responsive and genuinely wanted my husband and me to be pleased with his service. The truth of the matter is that we are thrilled with the results. We needed most of our landscaping re-done in front of our property along with the installation of two drains. Richard and his employees did a great job making our front yard beautiful again, and they cleaned up after themselves too. Richard is a great communicator and always went out of his way to keep us informed on the progress and the timeline. Moreover, he can be relied upon to keep his word. His employees Clayton and Petey were also very friendly and worked very hard to ensure our satisfaction with the project. I enjoyed some of the banter they exchanged too! We shared some laughs. In closing, I would highly recommend Carlson's Landscaping to anyone who needs landscaping service as this company will exceed your expectations. It has truly been a great experience!

I was very impressed with the quality of work by Richard and his men. Richard was great with communication and letting me know when they would be out since I had multiple days of work. He was extremely fair and honest with pricing. The whole team went out of their way to make sure I was satisfied. I will be using them again in the future.
