Collegiate Landscaping - Glastonbury, Connecticut

I would recommend Collegiate Landscaping for anyone who appreciates consistent quality and attention to detail. I didn’t know my yard could look so amazing! I could spend 5 hours working in my yard and not come close to accomplishing what Collegiate can do in a fraction of the time.
Instead, I can spend that time with my family and everyone is happy!
Thank you Collegiate Landscaping!!

I recently hired Collegiate Landscaping to work on my lawn, and I couldn't be happier with the results! They were incredibly punctual, arriving exactly when they said they would. The job was completed with precision and care. Their attention to detail and dedication to getting the job done right is evident in the final product. I highly HIGHLY recommend Collegiate Landscaping for anyone looking for reliable, professional landscaping services. I will definitely be using their services again in the future!!!

I utilized Collegiate Landscaping in the summer of 2021, and I invested in a costly design and planting project. Within six months, I had lost eleven (11) of the planted trees. I contact the landscaper and have been getting the run around for several months. I have emailed them, texted them, and called them on various occasions, and I have been getting nothing but delayed responses or no responses at all. I still have not received any communication from the landscaper or anyone else from the company. The only benefit for me is that I have all of my electronic and audio communications with the company and the landscaper. I have to elevate my case since I have hit a standstill. I would not recommend this landscaping company to anyone as they do not respect their customer and have a poor business acumen.

Our lawn has never looked so good! I like that we have the same person each week and he takes pride in his work. I refer to him as a lawn magician. We have weekly mowing and it is perfectly trimmed with sidewalks edged. Devin the owner is terrific. Responsive and always available to take a phone call.

We called up Collegiate to level my backyard for a 14x14 pool. The team was very professional and kind. They answered all of our questions. The first time they came out, unfortunately, the platform was a little too small as one of the legs was sliding down. I called up Devon, (the manager) and explained the situation. They came out and fixed the issue in a timely manner at no expense. They expanded the platform and even helped us move the pool back and forth. The team went above and beyond the call. It looks amazing. Very happy with the outcome. Thanks again gentlemen. Highly recommend!!

If I could give no stars then I would do so. I requested an estimate and received it via email. I had no idea they had even come to the house however, this was also my first time working with a landscaping company. They had some good reviews online so I trusted them. The guy came out to my house, I went outside and told him I was going to be on a work call. I wanted to show him ahead of time that I had hydrangea bushes planted on the tree line of my yard - all the way around the perimeter. I said do not touch these or cut them down. He told me, "I've got this." I said so please don't touch the hydrangeas - showing him where they were. He said no problem. I went outside after my call and all but two (the two in the front flower beds) were cut down. He had mowed over all of them. I immediately called Collegiate Landscaping and I was told that the person who came out to my property couldn't have done what he did because he has been mowing lawns for 16 years. I again, explained what happened. This back and forth conversation continued. Devin said he would come out so I could show him what happened. He asked if he should text me when he arrived and I said yes. I have little dogs that like to bark as well. I received a text the following morning that he would be at my home shortly. Then, a while later I received a text saying he had been to the property and didn't see any evidence of hydrangeas. He asked if I could send him a picture. Now, he was supposed to have me show him when he arrived. There was never any contact. He also told me he walked all around my property - apparently while I was inside. There was no evidence of him ever being at my property that morning. I told him if he had questions and he was at my property that was the time to ask but since I know he wasn't there and the fact that his guy mowed over my plants, it makes sense why no one would be able to see them.

Since he asked for a picture, I sent him one of what they did look like based on one of the ones that still existed and the space where one of the other plants were. I was then told that if I could show them what was destroyed they would replace them. It's hard to show them something that isn't there anymore. I told them how much the total was for the plants they destroyed since I have the invoice and they said they would replace it. When I told them what the price was they said they won't accept the fact that I had these planted last year as proof and won't accept the invoice.

They offered to come out again when they knew I called them out on the fact that they lied about coming to my house the first time.

Bottom line - don't work with Collegiate unless you want your lawn destroyed.

Kevin Cunningham did an excellent spring cleanup for us with several other small jobs for us today and is returning to overseed where needed. He will also be doing our mowing. He is very professional. Knowledgeable, and accommodating. He cares about his customers.
