they did not do any actual work but gave me information about what could be done. Nice people except for two of the guys smoked. I am allergic.

Reviews
Plow job was fantastic! Got down to dirt and sand/salted so we had easy access up the hill to the house!
Great communication and ensured I was happy with the work that was being completed. Very knowledgeable team. Would definitely work hire them for work again!
This is probably the saddest example of nice people who just don't know what they're doing :/. Hired Dave for a large raised deck with part having a roof, fencing, a stone patio and excavation for under deck parking. Pretty much everything you could imagine going wrong did, outside of a 2 week estimate lasting 4 months, the sewer line was hit, twice in the same day with an excavator bucket even though the location was known... It was repaired for an extra charge, and 4 months later had to be dug up and redone because the pitch went uphill instead of down pushing sewage back into my basement, and had a rubber t connection, installed backwards, which was also collapsed... Found this out the night before 5 friends planned to come up for the weekend, and had to cancel last minute since they wouldn't be able to flush the toilets during their stay. Also, the drain for the basement was torn out, never replaced and covered up with dirt. I only found out after 3 days of rain made my sump pump spew sewage tainted water like a geyser in my basement (due to sewer line issues noted above), so a new line had to be dug and installed. That and a drain had to be installed to direct the water pitched to pool against my footing to go to the road... For the metal roof added to the covered portion of the deck, they used caulk instead of flashing against the house, and tried to convince me it'd work the same, had to hassle them for weeks to add the flashing. Oversized gates were installed on the fence, only wanted 4ft, where 2 little brackets were added to support a 6ft gate that was also attached to a crooked post that had to be repaired twice so far. And when I went to park under the deck, my tires sank on one side, they tried to convince me it was rain water that wasn't drying because the deck was blocking the sunlight...turns out it was the french drain that was also broken during excavation and covered up with dirt instead of being repaired, so that line had to be installed. I now need to pay a professional plumber to inspect the work, obviously don't trust theirs, have my basement professionally cleaned, and lines scoped. These are just the highlights, soooo many other small things, and countless hours spent doing the work of a project manager since they don't have one, they will skyrocket your blood pressure and take time off of your life with the maddening mistakes. Even after all that, not bad people, but good Lord are they bad at the work...I really recommend you save yourself the long lasting grief... Pictures attached so you know that I'm not making this up... definitely couldn't make this stuff up...
Dave contracted with me to "clean up" my yard and then plant a wild flower garden. He just started the project. It is not done, so I can't yet give an all out review. The work he did so far was good. Once the full project is completed, I am happy to give a full review with pictures.
Being new to the area, I had not secured snow plowing services before the big nor'easter hit in early December. SVL&C responded promptly to my call for help and got the job done for me. While they couldn't get to me the day of the storm, they were in regular communication and did good job plowing me out. It was a 5 star experience!
Great service! Dave was very responsive when I reached out for snow plowing and shoveling services. He did a fantastic job clearing the snow, and his equipment was perfect for our narrow driveway. Also his colleague shoveled our sidewalk and walkway to the front porch with precision. Highly recommend!!
He could actually show up when he says he’s on his way. I should have realized he’d never even asked for my address.
Do not hire! Subpar work. No project management at all! Will take your money and not deliver! BEWARE!
It was my first time hiring a landscaping service and David and his team at Sunshine Valley did a great job. David listened to my requests and offered advice and suggestions. The job was planting and transplanting trees and shrubs and fixing my driveway by adding more gravel and leveling it out. They were able to finish the job in one day, the whole team was kind and professional, and I’m satisfied with the results and value. I would definitely hire them again.
Dave is a pro at what he does. He was honest and gave great advice on the work needed.
The work was done for my fathers yard which was very neglected. The process was short, the work that was done was excellent and there was nothing left to clean up. My father wants to keep working with him to do other items on his list. Thank you for helping him out I appreciate it a lot.
I found Sunshine Valley Landscaping here on Thumbtack, requested a quote on sod installation, and David, the owner got back to me within half an hour. He came to our site the next day. When we learned that he builds stone walls, and fully landscapes, as well, we got additional quotes for that work as well. We still have building construction going on on a side shed- and the difference between the two crews was epic. Dave's crew has been first to arrive, and the last to leave (by hours). Twice, they worked a 12 hour day from a self-imposed deadline. Nick and the others have been an absolute pleasure to have here. Competent, courteous, and perfectionists. They take pride in their work, and they clearly like working with each other. The sod was placed perfectly, with a little artistry here and there. The 4 garden walls are beautiful and suit our rustic environment wonderfully. The fire pit is inches from done, and also, beautiful. Most things that I thought I'd need to hire out for, I did through Sunshine Valley when I learned of their full portfolio of abilities. We are thrilled with every single thing these guys have touched- it's been somewhat transformational. If there were more than 5 stars, we would give them. We give the very highest of recommendations for this company and its crew. Could not be more pleased. Thank you so much SVL!!
Charged an exhorbitant amount of money up front for weed removal and never returned to finish the job. Acted like he was doing me a favor. Do not hire this company.
Lawn looks almost as bad as before the hiring. Kay
