What recent reviews say

Sawyer's team delivers fast, clean landscaping and reliable snow removal that most clients praise highly. Poor communication on quotes and occasional morning delays trouble others, plus an old safety incident clouds the picture.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Recent shift: No recent shift. Five-star reviews remain consistent from last year through this month; older one/two-star reviews cite communication gaps (5 years ago) and safety concerns (8 years ago), not current practice.

Most jobs finish on time and clean, with Jorge earning consistent praise for paver work, communication, and friendly service. One sizable project revealed gaps: incomplete work charged at higher rates, inconsistency when hiring temporary laborers, and tension when clients requested corrections or follow-up.

The bulk of the 12 reviews praise Sue Shorey's direct involvement in design, her team's reliability on time and budget, and their willingness to stay within scope rather than upsell. One one-star review claims deception and yard damage, but eleven others consistently cite fast turnaround, respectful site conduct, and results that exceeded expectations. Detail is limited by low review volume, though repeat mentions of patio work, retaining walls, and fence/gate builds appear across multiple accounts.
