Carew Landscaping

The builder of my home had Carew install the sod and some landscaping at my new home and the quality of work they did was poor. Uneven lawn, tons of rocks and gravel that should have been removed before sod laid, and very poor mulching and landscaping on the little bit they did. There are plenty of landscaping companies in the area that I would rather work with than Carew.

Carew Landscaping has been my family and friends' go to for 30+ years. Not only do they do top quality work, but they are dependable, always great to work with and genuinely wonderful people. If you need a job done right, they're your guys! Services: Retaining walls, Mulching, Sod installation, Weed control, Lawn mowing & maintenance

For the past 7 years Carew Landscaping has done our condo association's snow removal. We had tried many other companies prior to hiring Carew Landscaping. I have to admit in the beginning the service was not always ideal, but because of Jeff Carew's willingness to rectify and satisfy his customers we have become loyal customers. As time has gone on, his service has become stellar.

His crew is often out in the middle of the night clearing our driveways to make sure our residents can make it to work and he does all of this at a very reasonable price. If you want a great job with personal service and attention, I highly recommend Carew Landscaping for your snow removal needs.

Carew Landscaping completed two retaining walls for me, but I would not go with this company again. I felt that all workers and Mr. Carew treated me pleasantly, but I did not find several of their business practices customer-friendly, including: -No communication when project didn't start on schedule; I had to contact Carew Landscaping and ask what their plan was. -I was charged an additional $500 for services not listed or agreed upon in the invoice such as dressing all of the gardens in my yard with mulch and removing a stump (which I had already had removed by a tree service).

Neither of these extra charges were discussed with me ahead of the final invoice. -Mr. Carew was quick to take my call and stop by my house for 50% down payment, but over a week went by on several occasions without his response when I contacted him about aspects of the project I felt were unfinished or improperly done, such as filling in around drainage caps and minor flooding in high traffic areas.

I called back immediately regarding those, and yet since my concerns about those unfinished or problematic aspects were not yet addressed and my phone calls/emails not responded to within a week, I felt that the company was more interested in getting payment than making sure the job was done right. -The retaining walls themselves look to be well done, but a construction company that specializes in drainage/foundation issues looked at them and said that the wall should not have been built right next to the house because moisture would permeate the facade there, potentially causing moisture damage to the interior of the home.

They also said that the dirt was piled up too high against the brick of the home, potentially causing the same issue. So, now I am planning to have at least one of the walls redone, at great additional cost.

Carew Landscaping laid some sod for us in our yard. They got the job done within 2 days. We also had a few yellow spots and 2 days after we called they came out and replaced them. They have been so wonderful to work with!

Called them to come out, still waiting for them to come out, after waiting for almost a month ago of me calling them. Almost got it by one of their white trucks that ran a red light.

Awful communication--this is a consistent pattern if you look at the other posts here. As with all the others, Jeff was quick to take my down payment. As with all the others, he or his office assistant promised time and time again that they would show up "next week" to do the job but repeatedly failed to show and offered no follow up call or email.

At one point, after 4 months of trying to nail down a plan, I was on the verge of getting a lawyer involved. They showed up the next week and completed a project that was a bit short of what I had discussed, been bid, and paid for. At this point I'm just praying that the concrete work they did holds up.

We had our yard graded and two retaining walls installed at the end of May 2014. After our initial consultation and down payment it was at least a month before we seen or heard anything from them. The crew showed up and went right to work and stayed on point.
