  I rarely complain. However, the more look at my retaining wall, the more upset I become. Quote of $7,716.80 to: (directly from quote) 1. Rip out ground cover & stone & haul away 2. Provide & install 4 tons of topsoil 3. Provide & install a retaining wall, 38 lin ft, using Techo Blu Semma wall block (Sandalwood in color) & caps 3’ feet on left side of the walk, 2’ on right side of walk Because of supply chain issues, couldn’t get the Techo block. I agreed to EP Henry blocks in Harvest. Started on 9/29/21 and completed on 9/30. At comp, texted the PM, Frank: A bit disappointed. Yesterday the curb was broken, suspect by driving loader over it. Previously, the builder broke a 30” section by doing that; now the whole 7’ piece is broke. Gaps between the blocks – the largest being about 3/8”. On the left side, there’s a 1” overhang between the first and second row. First course of block is set in the ground. I would have expected them to be somewhat level w/ the driveway; now there’s a large gap between the block and the driveway. Left side of the wall ~ 6 lin ft & right ~ 12 lin ft, total 18 lin ft. The quote says it should be 38 lin ft. The diff in quote & the actual is the lack of the wall running towards the house for a short distance on each side. Was expecting that so the ground would be level with the blocks and run the lawnmower over the top of the block. Have to say, for $7,280, this is defi not what I was expecting. Sent an additional text correcting my mistake, w/ tax the total $7,716.80. Met on 10/8 w/ Frank & George, the OPS manager. Stated they talked to everyone on the job and were certain they didn’t drive the loader over the curb / break the curb. I accepted that. As shown in the pictures, that’s obviously not the case. Stated I didn’t think four tons of topsoil was put down. Told me I would be surprised how little 4 tons would actually cover. W/o proof, couldn’t really argue the point. They agreed the wall was not up to the standards it should be. I pointed out the wall should have run up the side of the steps and the ground should be level with the blocks. Also pointed out the neighbors wall should have been smoothed so the blocks would sit tight against the wall, the uneven cuts and the large gap between the wall and the driveway. Came back out and fixed some of what we discussed, finishing on 10/21. On 10/22 I texted Frank. Not quite everything we discussed, but certainly much better than it was. By my calc, there is 25 lin ft of wall; quote says 38 lin ft; a diff of 13 lin ft (34% < quote). Believe the remaining balance should be adjusted accordingly. On 10/22 Frank said would provide $950 credit. New total: $6,766.80. Concerned about water running driveway & freezing. Contacted concrete contractor. Suggested polymeric sand – commonly used by LANDSCAPERS... Bought a 40 lb bucket at HD. $24.36 including tax. Used entire bucket. It took ~ two hours, plus an hour of driving time. It looks much better now. See the pictures. You would think a landscape contractor, doing a quality job, would use such a product to complete the job… Total time: three hours. In the course of checking out the rest of the job, I notice many of the landscaping staples were not fully seating in the ground; many sticking ¾ of the way out of the ground. The ground underneath was very hard – likely because they put very little topsoil down. In the course of resetting the curb, I had to dig out the ground behind the curb. To my surprise, and dismay, I found red landscaping rocks. Based on that, I suspect they didn’t remove the landscaping cloth or the rocks – they just put the topsoil right over the top. Total time to fix. One hour. What ever happened to doing quality work? I spent four hours of my time fixing what H&N should have done. I also spent four hours gathering my info, preparing pictures, and writing this review. Total time because H&N couldn’t do a good job: eight hours. I certainly didn’t receive $6,766.80 in value for the work that was done. Next time I have a landscaping job, I’ll be going elsewhere.

  This year was my first year using H&N’s services and I couldn’t be happier I did. I own close to 4 acres and the H&N didn’t shy away from providing me with an affordable quote when many others would not quote or provided astronomical quotes. When H&N started maintenance on my lawn this year, my lawn was less than a year old, in terrible shape, and full of weeds. The H&N team has my lawn looking so much better already after only a few months of services.

  Hey Lance. We are glad to have you with us and appreciate your thoughts! We are very impressed with how much the lawn has turned around just this first year! More results to come!

  I called H&N when I discovered grubs in my yard, primarily because they were local. They literally showed up within a few hours, confirmed, and treated my lawn that same day. Amazing service! With no crazy sales tactic they told me that they could bring my yard around with a winterizer, aeration, and treatments the next year. Well it’s the end of that year and I have to say what an amazing transformation for a small price. I have dogs so I always appreciate the heads up call before the treatments, they truly are professionals and just a great team to work with. Highly recommend that you give them a call first.
