Sam Smith Landscaping

I used Sam Smith Landscaping today and was extremely impressed by their promptness, work ethic, price and results!! When other landscaping companies didn't take the time to call me back and give me a quote, SSL called me back the same day, quoted me, and got the job done. This was the second time I used their service and have been very satisfied both times and will continue to use their service.

Sam Smith was the worst contractor I’ve ever dealt with. Gave me a good estimate because he said he was having a baby and needed the work. Two weeks into the project he told me he forgot to add the rental equipment and it would be about 1200.00. I had already given him 50% of the original total. When the stone was delivered, he didn’t have any money to pay for it because “he had to pay his helpers”, so I had to pay for that if I wanted the delivery. Then when I got another invoice it was 2500.00 more and he had cut back on the stone to be used in the project making it smaller then what was agreed upon. He had taken me to Stone Forest and showed me a pond, which he said he had built for a trade out, and I hired him liking what I saw. He had no idea on how to build a pond. Some examples are: He charge me 800.00 for a protection liner and tried to use Landscaping cloth. Brought in temporary help who cut the liner too short and now pond is not as deep as it should be. Started putting the skimmer next to the waterfall. Put in a bottom drain, but it is non functional. When I realized he didn’t know what he was doing, I went back to Stone Forest and ask if he built their pond and they said “NO”. The patio he built is uneven, full of gaps and ridges, the water pools 2 feet from the drain. Several people have already tripped so it is unusable until I can get it corrected. I had used him for my lawn, hoping he would at least fix the patio, but he never did, and I had asked him several times. Since all he ever did was blow the leaves in the flowerbeds and the neighbors yard, he no longer does my yard.

Sam & his crew did an amazing job on my lawn. They trimmed the bushes & even cut down a small tree that was in my back yard. All for a great price.

I am happy with Sams work, he is on time and does a great job, every once in a while he comes over to do some design work but mainly he does yard maintenance.
