Sue is a ripoff and cheapster. At first she is the nicest and most helpful person ever. She verbally promised so much and said she will do this and that. Once you sign the contract then she is another person. All the stuff I wanted she told me she have to add on more cash. So I ended up not getting those things which I had to do out of pocket. And let me tell you, the work was horrible!!! She didn’t want to put any weed barrier. And she didn’t even want to cut the tree roots! There was gonna be hard lumps on the ground!! I told her she NEEDS to take those tree roots out and she finally did. I had to check up her and her workers or else they would miss things. They hardly used any nails and gave me extra nails “to do it myself”. The worst part is that she USED THE WRONG SAND! I told her it’s wrong and she said to “TRUST HER”. It was gravel sand which had sharp rocks in them. She ended up VACUUMING the whole turf because I wasn’t gonna pay for it, the vacuuming didn’t suck it all up. I’m still finding sharp rocks in my turf. She said “that’s best she can do”. It’s been a month and I still have to fix the turf myself by adding more nails and more turf sand. The turf lays back down and I have to keep fluffing it up. And I’m still not happy. I have a 2 year old that wants to roll around in the turf, I’m still scared a sharp rock might cut her! BEWARE EVERYONE. Reach out to me if you don’t believe me. I wouldn’t recommend Sue to anyone.

About Sue's Custom Gardens (C27-899727)
If you are looking for a colorful landscape, I'm your girl. I pick interesting plants that you simply don't see everywhere. I like green but it is never the focus of my jobs. You will only find color. My tagline is "Where color counts!" I love what I do. it doesn't matter if it's moving mud or planting. I build fences, decks, and structures incidental to a landscape. Ponds, too! This is a fun job, and I love doing it. Irrigation is the thinking part, and I'm pretty good at it! Interested in a landscape that's fun and different? Give me a call, text, or email. Love to talk to you about your project!

The worst. i had sue come give me a estimate on adding a 2 feet wide river rock boarder while I was telling her how i want it and what size rock she keep trying to convince me to use smaller rock so it would be easy for her to do the job. She also want to change other things. When im paying someone I want it done my way my style. She also took 2 days to give me a estimate on a one day job. She want to charge me 2000$ and I found someone to do it all for 800$ this lady is a joke beware
Sue responded quickly. We set up an appointment and she let me know when she was on her way. She was very open and honest about what could be done and what should be done. She explained what was going on with our sprinklers. Very happy with her work. Thank you!
Dumbfounding that Sue came to my home March 14th and spend many hours with me to be able to bid a $10,000+ project that required very detailed matching of a retaining wall. Unfortunately, after 75 days and the coronavirus pandemic she could not find the matching wall blocks, apparently. So, had to go with the two other bids from Bella Turf and Santini Landscaping that COULD find matching wall blocks. Sue is a nice person and a plethora of knowledge on planting plants for the region and might be okay if, you have a clean slate backyard to start with. Not recommended for complex and/or engineering related projects.
While meeting with Sue for the first time, she actually helped us hire someone to put sod in our yard for us.
Sue was very responsive and helpful. She promptly contacted me to set up an appointment for the next day. She worked hard to help me solve my sprinkling system problems!
The job has not been completed as yet. I met with Sue and we went over everything I wanted to have done. She gave me some good suggestions and listened to my needs. She is starting the job next week
