Wanted to share an awesome experience I had with Todd and Big Heart Landscaping, who did a great job with my backyard project (wood chips for playset, mulch and stones). The morning they were about to start the job, Todd realized he misunderstood one of my requests and significantly under-quoted me. He didn't even start or buy the materials at this point, and I insisted that we try and revise the quote/job so he didn't lose money, but he refused and stood behind his quote despite the misunderstanding. "Lose some money, gain a friend" is what he said. Not exactly my idea of a

Our thanks to you and your landscaping crews for the beautiful flagstone path we now enjoy on the north side of our house.

It is also extremely functional, as this side of the house receives lots of foot traffic and was too shady for adequate grass cover.

We have been very happy with Big Heart Landscaping for our lawn maintenance and snow plowing needs for the past 4 years. We recently worked with Big Heart Landscaping on a project at our home to deal with erosion at a retaining wall and poor drainage on our property. Todd and his team did an excellent job from start to finish. Todd was very prompt and professional when he came to our home to provide his assessment and plan of what needed to be done. His work team arrived on time to our home and were very professional and courteous. Mr. Abrams remained available to us by telephone and email during
