I had my front concrete steps of my house bricked over. A young man named Alberto did an excellent job on my steps. He was a perfectionist and took pride in the work he acomplished. I am so pleased and I am the envy of my neighbors.

For the project done in April, missed three appointments for estimate. Late on the finished project also. Mulch was done well. Called to have the mulch freshened up but he never came back and we haven't heard from him.

Rick was very quick to start our project and it only took about a week to complete. It took 3 times to get the corner correct on our wall, but after it was completed it looked very nice. The bad news was that the workers left trash on our lawn every day. The other thing I was not pleased with was our project included $600.00 worth of landscaping shrubs. I only received $198.00 worth of plants. When questioned where the rest of the shrubs were, he said since I requested additional landscape work, he deducted that from the contract price of the shrubs. However, we were never told at any time that this was happening. Overall, the wall looks nice

The initial meeting & estimate were very professional. I accepted the proposal. We scheduled 2 appts to review the stone color, sign the contract & make the down payment. Rick didn't show up for either appointment & failed to cancel. The 3rd time this occurred, I cancelled the project. He then called & said he would work Memorial Day . He didn't show & didn't call. He came on Tues & did 90% of the project while I was at work. He didn't follow-up with me & didn't come back that week. I called to tell him some of the stones were loose. He repaired the stones but still has not finished with the sod. A month has passed & work not done.

Rick was just wonderful. He came right out and did an outstanding job. It only took him and his crew about two days to complete a beautiful paver patio and walk in the front of my house. Of anyone I have hired to work on my house over the past 25 years, his work has pleased me the most. He designed the pattern, moved water drains, and just did a fantastic job. He is one who really knows his trade and I can't praise him enough!

Did a great job in a short period of time. Completed my patio at a very competive price. Clearly was not looking to take an advantage of me to just make a buck. I would highly recommend Smitty's Landscaping, LLC

Seal of Approval

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
  10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
    We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
