John and his team that cares for our lawn are excellent. He is a honest professional who cares about his clients and the work. He has been responsive to our questions and navigating some interesting staffing challenges well. We are glad to be working with them.

We were extremely pleased with Crider's work on our property. They took extreme care in preparing the yard for sod and placed it perfectly. Also, the attention they paid to the way I wanted my flower beds edged with metal edging was awesome! Very professional group to work with!

This company is absolutely terrible! I contacted them in the fall to landscape our front and back yard. I had to call repeatedly and was given excuses like he's working on the plans or covid outbreaks put them behind. When they did come out they cut back or removed old plants and spread a very thin layer of mulch. They also worked on the waterfall of our 3000 gallon koi pond. Both times I had to pay a 50% deposit to get on the schedule for 6 to 8 weeks out.
After much back and forth and never any plans and well into spring I gave up. We spent over $2000 on plants and hired the people who weedeat and cut our grass to plant the plants and spread 3 inches of mulch. I fully expect Jon Crider to say he doesn't know me because that's what he says whenever he gets a bad review

Crider Landscaping undertook a very large job for me. They performed a complete overhaul of my backyard following a swimming pool installation. Their work is of the highest quality and I could not be more pleased. John and his staff are 1) Professional 2) Meticulous and 3) Very friendly and easy to work with. These guys work hard and continue to work until everything is perfect. They are also extremely flexible and responsive to any minor changes or requests I had.
I would hire them again in a heartbeat. Actually, I did, for a much smaller project. No job is too small for them either. I really appreciate the work they have done and I will use Crider Landscaping for any future work. They have the highest integrity and work ethic I have encountered in this industry. John Crider is a man of his word. Working with contractors, that is a rare find. A+ for this company.

Crider Landscaping took over my lawn in March 2020. My yard has only been improving since then. Its great to have someone treat your yard as if it were their own. From the top down, the crew at Crider Landscaping is thoughtful, thorough and committed to great customer service.

Critical: Responsiveness Incorrectly measured our yard, therefore, there was some ground not covered with sod. Stated they would still finish the job, yet no follow through. Terrible communication the entire time except when the payment was due initially.

Talk about professionals! I've personally dealt with many landscaping companies in the past, but none compare to how incredibly honest, reliable and talented Crider Landscaping is. Its so refreshing to find a company that puts the customers best interest first. I would highly recommend them.

Starting a new lawn today, Crider Landscaping was able to give us a fresh canvas to start with! Cant wait to see how our new grass looks once we get it fixed up and it starts growing. Super fast job and just what we wanted/needed to get this project started. Impressed by detail, customer service, and overall experience.

I used Crider Landscape for sod in my front yard! They did great work and used proper equipment to remove Bermuda to convert to Tall Fescue did! They did a great job and were affordable! I enjoy working with this company and will use them for many more projects! I hate Bermuda Grass!

John Crider does an outstanding job for us at Signature smiles in Hixson. I would recommend his services to anyone.

I had John and his crew come out and look at my landscape needs on a property I had purchased in the area. I was skeptical at first due to the smaller size of the company. I ended up hiring them for the landscape renovation as they had a design that was one of the best I had seen, I had to pay a little more for the professional design service but it was well worth it. The project went start to finish without a hitch and afterwards I kept the company on to maintain my beautiful landscape.
I love the new backyard sitting area with my patio, pergola, outdoor kitchen and garden. Its like having a miniature vacation every evening after work when I can just go out enjoy my property. I am so glad I chose these guys for the project!
