On Angi it shows 4.5 stars from 33 ratings. A 2018 customer said Shawn removed the trees from the house on the first day, waited for the ground to dry before starting the work that needed heavy equipment, and removed a 7 foot diameter root ball. A 2012 customer said Shawn drew various designs for a patio, and that the project took about 2 weeks with weather. A 2012 customer said pavers laid in 2009 had settled, and the next week Shawn had his crew readjusting them. A 2014 customer said Shawn checked his crew's work at the end of nearly every day on a stone pathway job, and spent a couple of hours helping work out a property line for a fence his company was not installing. A 2012 customer said non-perforated pipe was installed in a drainage trench instead of the perforated pipe discussed, and said Mr Upton did not respond to requests to meet about it. A 2012 customer said heavy equipment was left on the front lawn for weeks at a time without being used, while saying the work was done very well. A 2015 customer said the crew arrived a day late for mowing and came back for the next mow only the day after the review was posted.
I could not be happier with my choice. Shawn was professional, friendly, and knowlegable from first contact. He was not the cheapest nor the most expensive estimate I received to complete the work. His quote included more than the cheaper and more expensive estimates I had received. Once hired he began immediately and removed the trees from the house in the first day. It took a little time to complete the job but his concern was the ruin of a lawn in pristine condition. He waited for the ground to dry before starting the portion of the work that required heavy equipment. The lot is also on a very steep downward angle . I feel that he completed the job in a timely manner considering that the weather continued to work against him. Upon finishing he left the property in excellent condition. He removed the 7 foot diameter root ball as well so one would never know the wreck it all had been . The only tell tale sign is where he graded, seeded, and fertilized the portion on the yard where the trees had fallen and gouged the ground.
It went very well, It was scheduled immediately when I requested it, The tree was removed and everything cleaned up within a couple of hours. I have used Upton, Inc, for all my landscaping needs for five years on several properties and am always pleased,
The guys showed up a day later than I was told. Things came up, fine, but this was not communicated until I contacted them about no one showing up. They showed up and did a good job, and I was told that they would be back in 2 weeks (as I had initially stated that I wanted a bi-weekly mowing). They never showed up again, and even after I sent an email asking if they were coming back (as indicated by the crew that was here) I haven't heard anything from them. This is really sad because they did a good job, just unreliable scheduling and unresponsive communication. The one good thing is that they have not charged me for the 1 mow, which is fair considering how they blew me off. Update - The showed up the day after I initially posted my review and mowed the lawn (the job they do is good). Still waiting to hear back from them on a question.
The place looked amazing. They even cleaned out the gutters. Highly recommend. They specialize in larger landscaping projects, and we were not able to move forward with a larger proposal, but we will as soon as it is within our budget.
I've been using the company for about five years, and I've always had good experiences. I can really trust them to do good work consistently, they're very communicative about what's going on at each property, and their prices seem reasonable.
