Elvira Landscaping

Contracted to have yard grading and correct water issue. Was to have pop-ups installed but cannot locate all. Patio installed at same time. Workers worked. Owner was responsive until paid. Called several times for information with promise to stop by. Sent email with no response. Refer NO

Ed was very professional and knowledgeable about the name of every single plant and flower in my yard. I would recommend them to anyone wanting quality work done in their yard. I had bushes removed, trees planted and 27 yards of much laid. The price was very reasonable and everything looks great.

This was the company that the builder selected to perform installation of sod, mulch beds, and plants for our new home build. When we met with their representative, it was very clear he wasn't interested in doing the job or spending much time with us. The sod was of mediocre quality and laid so haphazardly it looks as though they did it with their eyes closed.

I'm talking seams of inches between some pieces. Mowing is like being on an amusement park ride from all the bumps. They definitely didn't prep the ground before laying either, which is asinine considering the heavy machinery from building that packed the ground so hard water just sits on top. The plants are doing okay, but it's laughable to think they used our entire budget on what was planted. I'm just glad our plants are still alive, unlike multiple neighbors' plants and trees. I just wish I could give 0 out of 5 stars.

I paid a pretty penny to have pavers installed as a patio. The job was delayed several times and sometimes without notice. After almost two weeks the patio was installed but I noticed that the crew cracked the siding on the wall. I paid my balance and raised the issue to the owner/project manager "Ed". My emails were ignored. After more than a week Ed came by to inspect the crack on the siding and blamed ME and accused me of lying!

I was insulted and in tears. For me, respect goes a long way. These people are not men of integrity. He said his crew denied it so it could not have happened. Look! This has been the worse experience EVER! They had a small bulldozer and apparently nicked the siding. Shame on them! I can not and will not do business with condescending and unprofessional people.

I am a woman and I believe this may have played a part in them refusing to fix the damage they caused. I don't believe he would have said what he said to me and the way he said it if I were a man. Never again. Simply unprofessional!

We had an area outside our basement door that did not drain well and over the years an old French drain had filled in with mud. It was quite a mess. Ed and his company did an outstanding job re-grading the yard, building two strong retaining walls and laying a roomy paver patio at the entrance. His crew was hard working, responsible, and communicative. It turned out really well, is a great improvement to the house.

Ed and his team came out to do a landscaping / grading estimate for me. The quote was lower than what I had received from two other places and Ed was professional in his appraisal of what needed to be done in the yard. They were able to regrade the yard over the course of a day, bring in more topsoil, and seed the lawn relatively quickly. So far, the yard looks great, and the grass is coming in quickly. I'd recommend them for similar work in the future.

The workers were very nice and professional which is the reason for 2 stars. However the owner is a good salesmen.he pitches a good game but does not follow through. He bid the job wrong with not having the wall high enough. I had to pay for another row of block. Even with that it's still not high enough and other companies have said the same. Delays with get blocks so basically 1 month of waiting every time more block was needed when the actual physical job only took 3 days.

Now the decks guys are there trying build the deck off a crooked wall. Nothing is straight at all The whole process was not a good experience and if my fence falls over because the wall is not high enough and the slope is so extreme behind it I will have to ask them to fix it. They were supposed to level the ground in front of wall perfectly to install above ground pool Yet it was 5 out from one side to the other and he promised it would be within one inch. He talks a big game but in the end cost me more money and still not happy. Look for another company

Not honest or reliable- Others will think twice before considering Ed for landscaping projects once they are aware of how I have been treated after spending tens of thousands of dollars with him over the past 3 years. Here are just a few recent examples: 1. Invoiced 30% more than the quote on the last project because of an inaccurate quote and didn't notify me once it was discovered the cost may be hirer, just sent the hirer invoice (this past invoice was 30% hirer than the quote.) Then acted like I was in the wrong for confronting him regarding it. 2. Repeated attempts to contact Ed were not returned in August.

I have seen other reviews online that reference that phone calls are not returned. 3. Caused damage to my property while performing work and didn't notify me of the damage, left me to discover it and didn't take accountability. 4. Delivered 3 and 4 inch stone and tried to pass it off as the 2 inch stone that I ordered. When spending this kind of money I expect to get exactly the service I want with professionalism/courtesy when returning calls.

Eddie Elvira and his crew did a spectacular job with our new paved driveway. For 14 years, we had terrible flooding in our driveway and into the garage every time it rained. Proper slope to provide adequate drainage was crucial to the success of our project. After speaking with four contractors, we decided to go with Elvira and it was the best decision.

The project took longer than expected due to unforeseen conditions (boulders had to be jackhammered out to create pitch), but Eddie's crew took no shortcuts. The end result is a gorgeous paved driveway with surrounding retaining walls, and strangers driving by stop to tell us. how beautiful it is. Oh, and when it rains, the rainwater rolls back to the road and away from the house! Five stars is not enough for Eddie and crew.

We paid $500 for Elvira to put a small drain in the back yard for the area we were having issues with sitting water and we no longer had grass there anymore due to this issue. Elvira came out and put the drain in and never put any grass seed in that area as they were supposed to. I have given them numerous attempts to come out and put down the seed.

It's never happened. When something so simple is missed and they don't bother to come out and make it right it, it shows what kind of company they are. not one we will ever do business with again.
