Backyard Project

MDL took on the project of getting our backyard re-soded, add stone patio and address standing water issues and clogged window wells. They did an amazing job and we are very happy with the result. The crew was always on time, courteous and friendly, they always cleaned up at the end of the day. Michael was great to work with, from the initial quote to many conversation regarding our project, he was always there to answer all questions. We are already looking to get MDL take on our next project the front yard.

Driveway Widening and Removing Garden

Contacted me at 4 am that workers would be coming the next day (which was technically the same day). We bought the workers pizza bc they said they were working late and they took the pizza, left abruptly and were sick the next day and unable to work. The patio stones were put in less than a year ago and already have weeds growing through. Very disappointed.

Over rated. Over priced. Terrible after sales service

Very poor after sales service. Unresponsive to questions about warranty. Offers no meaningful information regarding what to do about an expensive tree that was planted based on there professional recommendations yet it died almost immediately.

From the outset this business seems like a top notch organization, but in reality farthest from the truth. Do not hire Michael Durham Landscaping unless you are willing to make it a full time job tracking and chasing this guy down. They now block my calls and fail to own up to faulty workmanship with even less after sale services.

Overpriced and over rated. 2 star review is being generous

Hello Sam,

Unfortunately the placement and size of tree as suggested is not where it should have been planted, we do not have a warranty on plants as this is the homeowners responsibility to maintain we are sorry you feel you did not receive the service for having a warranty as we are going through staffing right now for the office yes we are slower to reply, but still do manage to reply once able. At this time

Bad experiene all around

I paid a deposit to confirm a date for early June and had three no-shows without the benefit of a phone call. Excuses included truck problems, rain storms and going through a divorce. I had to call to inquire every single time as they did NOT feel it was necessary to call and inform me that no one was coming. I finally asked for my deposit back after waiting for a month. I was lucky to get another company to complete the work the following week. If you want peace of mind and professionalism, this is NOT the company to use.

Sept 15, 2023 - Follow-up

After reading the company response, I felt it was necessary to respond. First, this review is based on my experience with the company. Its very nice that it does not reflect your company and that others may have had a better experience. Unfortunately, my experience was not positive, and, as you agreed about the details I provided about my experience, I stand by them 100%. The big issue was the lack of communication, which highlighted a lack of respect for my time. Since I had to rearrange my schedule for your arrival, I was inconvenienced when you did not show up. Your review would have been better if you picked up the phone and told me you could not complete the job due to unforeseen circumstances. It is not too much to ask.

Hello CR,

Unfortunately I have been dealing with much personal issues which have reflected my business communication etc. Over the last while as explained over the phone, when you requested for the deposit back you did receive it as yes unfortunately my business was affected including health issues on top of what I'm going through currently, I'm glad you have found someone to perform your project, as the service you received does not reflect how MDL operates. I strongly disagree with your last portion, as we do have many positive reviews, unfortunately the "excuses" are very real issues that have affected the business for a small portion of time.

Beautiful stonework

Second project weve done with Michael Durham & definitely not the last. Michael is pleasant & easy to work with. All of the people working for him are very professional. Previously had a small patch of grass replaced in backyard & latest project was stonework around our columns. The workmanship was beautiful & everything turned out better than I had expected. Thanks Michael for another job well done!

Landscaping

Michael and his team have assessed, priced and executed a number of landscaping and property maintenance projects for me in a timely manner and on budget. Sodding, yard maintenance, snow plowing, spring and fall cleanup - all completed on time and on budget. Would happily recommend Michael to anyone who needs similar services.

sodding part of my front lawn

The work was done as promised with no hassles. The staff they had on my project were very polite and courteous. A rogers cable was cut, but through no fault of their's as it was not buried deep enough when installed. My only beef is the cost of the extra yard of top soil that I had them deliver to top dress my back yard. I should have asked first, and then checked out other alternatives. I would have saved myself some $$$.
