Shumway is a great local family business. Excellent, professional attention was given to every detail of the restoration of our waterfront seawall on Lake Champlain, and the landscaping of our Beach and surrounding property.

I called today to get an estimate on crushed stone. I was answered by a lady who said "what do you want? money or something" then she hung up. I called back a few more times and each time she would answer and swear at me. She claimed to be a lawyer and threatened me if I called back. Not sure how you get someone to landscape for you with this type of greeting, but I recommend staying FAR FAR away she is crazy and will get none of my business. I have never been treated so badly by a company who didn't even know who I was.....NOT recommended
