Gus (owner) was all service at the beginning. Carlos ran an amazing crew and followed every aspect of our design concept. (Only reason they got 2 stars instead of 1) Short cuts were taken, trees were planted where they rotted, dirt was placed on top of fabric in rock gardens allowing weeds to grow through so we are having to redo them. Four Canadian maples and one Japanese maple died and we could never get a follow up call back for our one year tree warranty. Wish I had gone with Faltz for a few grand more, more reputable.

Your red green acres company truck almost ran me and 3 of my children over on Huffman today. We were crossing to the foot path from the park and my son tripped and fell. Your driver accelerated and cleared us by merely 3 feet. I hope your etiquette on green acres is much better than it is on pavement.
