T&C Landscapes

This contractor was hired to re-slope our front yard from front sidewalk to 10 inches from the sidewalk. They offered the cheapest price by about $300 over another contractor to do this. Things started okay. We gave them 1/2 of the contract price up front. They used a sod cutter to remove the first 10 feet of yard. They lowered the dirt level and then began replacing the sod they had removed. In laying the sod back in our yard, they came up short about 20% of the removed sod. We had to pay them an additional dollar amount for more sod. That was above the contract price, but is not what the lower rating is mostly about. After they finished laying the sod and rolling it one time. We notice the area still had high spots in it, so we asked them to roll it again. Tyler, was the man in charge and gave us a verbal promise to come back in two weeks and re-roll it again if we reminded him. We paid the remainder of the contract price at that time. That apparently was our mistake. After two weeks we called him and were told that the roller was leaking, and he had to purchase a new one through an online store. He said they would do it first thing when they received the roller. We waited another week and called/texted him and received the same answer. We continued to either call or text him for four or five weeks and received again the same answer. My wife called him asking if he could rent a roller to finish our yard. I also checked at Home Depot and found that I could rent one for only $13 and 5 rollers were available. I figured, being a contractor, he could rent one for even less. I told him finally that if it was not done within the following week that I would answer this review with an *Incomplete Work*. Apparently that does not bother him, because it has been around a month since I said that, and nothing has been done. Being in our 70s we were always taught that our verbal promises were just as binding as written ones. I guess this company disagrees with me. Our mistake!

Trust their creative ideas! They are landscape artists. We have people stop by our house and ask us who did this, it is amazing work. Top notch communication and they go above and beyond.
