Warrning! Don't trust this company. They were cutting off branches of my trees from my neighbors yard behind me. They reached over my fence property line 4 feet cut off a branch that fell on my fence damaging it. when I contacted them, they said they would pay me $2.25 for the picket but I would have to do the repair. I.m 71 years old. I didn't damage it they did, they need to do the repair. small claims court here we come.

The Huntscapes crew does an awesome job with our yard maintenance! We have an acre lot and it has become a burden to maintain ourselves. It is so nice to come home and have a nicely manicured lawn. The bushes are trimmed, the edges to walkways sharp and the grass has perfect lines. They always to a great job blowing and cleaning up before they leave. Thank you Huntscapes Team!

I had the company completely remodel my yard. For the price they charge, the quality that they leave behind is very poor and they are very very arrogant. They left lots of unfinished works for me and promised to come back and fix those, but never did. The sprinkler head broken, some drip zones do not have a head and many of the large trees they planted died. They promised to replace those and take care of everything. But, after I made the final payment, they just refuse to answer any email or contacts! DO NOT PAY THEM UNTIL THEY ARE COMPLETELY DONE. DO NOT ACCEPT A PROMISE THAT THEY WILL COME BACK AND FINISH IT LATER AS THEY DON'T FOR SURE.

Critical: Professionalism This is not a professional company. This guy was blowing the grass on the roadway. He wrapped it up with grass and debris. Which is against the law. He did not yield to traffic. Poor quality of workmanship. I watched a motorcyclist have to come almost to a complete stop to travel thru. If he was my employee he would be terminated.

At around 8:30am on June 6th, I said good morning to two people wearing HuntScape regalia and near the company truck, at the intersection of Renwick Ct. and Six Forks in Raleigh. Neither responded. One of the individuals did not seem to understand English, and instead the other person asked if my dog was a Pitbull. I responded that she was only partially, thinking that he thought the dog was cute. He immediately followed up with "How much you want for that thing?" This was. an interestingly unprofessional interaction, to say the least.
