  I started my retaining wall with someone who tried to help me but does not dedicate to do this type of job, for did not know how to do it properly and did not had the needed tools. I had to stopped the project and looked for a specialist and Sam appeared. He was very helpful. He helped me and was just on the price, he counted and deducted the materials I had already bought and got delivered to my property and he and his team did the rest, they did an amazing job. They built a retaining wall in front of my house with 2 levels or tiers. They fixed my drainage and filled with dirt so that we could plant later on. I will definitely contact him for anything I would like to do at home. And I am planning on filling the area with plants with him, hopefully soon.

  I used Sam Smith Landscaping to fix a drainage problem we had by adding a French Drain and drain pipes for our down spouts. After the first rain we had a large hole in our backyard where he attached the added drain pipes to an existing drain and failed to properly pack the dirt. I notified him immediately about the problem and sent photos. He responded and promised to send someone on two different occasions to do the repair. No one ever came. It’s been over 3 weeks and still no word. Be aware that he will not stand behind his work!

  Sam and his crew did an amazing job. They listened to what I wanted and made sure it was done right. The cost was right in my budget.

  We’re so happy with the work Sam Smith Landscaping did! Our patio looks amazing, and his team was fantastic—super professional and easy to work with. Sam really listened to what we wanted and helped bring our vision to life. It was a great experience from start to finish, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results!

  I cannot recommend Sam Smith Landscaping. Do yourself a favor and search all reviews of this company, not just the sanitized reviews on their website. We made that mistake by only seeing the reviews on the website. We contacted Sam Smith Landscaping (SSL) to build a retaining wall. Sam came out and looked at our property and within a day or so gave us an estimate. He called back later and suggested that we should have him add steps to the project to enhance the look. We accepted his second estimate which included the steps and paid 50% deposit. Work started Thursday 3/7/2024. Sam got his two-man crew started and apologized that he had to go out of town for a few days, but he assured us that his crew was very capable for the job. On Friday morning I pointed out to the lead man that the wall was crooked and not level. I explained to the lead man that the wall should be fixed now before it is complete. That would be less work. The lead man called Sam, and on a speaker, I explained the situation. Sam told the worker to fix the wall. The wall was not fixed. End of day Saturday 3/9/2024 this is what the project looked like. The wall is still crooked and not level, and the steps were at the same height as the wall. Sam shows up Monday morning 3/14/2024 with his crew and we have a talk about the project. I asked him if he was pleased with the project and if this is how he had envisioned the project. He said no and that they will fix it. All day long on Monday Sam was belittling his lead man in front of me to the point it was very uncomfortable. Not professional at all. By end of the day Tuesday 3/12/2024 Sam had emailed a revised bill for their work as they have almost completed the job. The invoice was $1900 more than was agreed to. Sam explained that they used 20 more “Blocked Wall” and 52 more “Cap Block” than was estimated. Sam also explained that he provided for “free” 5 bales of pine straw (which I did not asked for), polymeric sand (which is used to help join the pavers) and moving the dirt pile that they made in putting in the steps (they placed the dirt not where we asked them to). We negotiated a slightly lower price, and when they had completed the job, paid the lower price. Judge for yourselves. As you can see from the pictures, the wall is still crooked, the stairs are at different heights, some landing leans toward the house, some lean away from the house. The wall is not level, and there is a hole near the top. I wished that we would have used another contractor. If you want an estimate that is vague and doesn’t define the scope of work, a crew that is untrained/unskilled, an owner who belittles his employees in front of customers, an invoice for $1900 more than estimated, and shotty work, then Sam Smith Landscaping is your go to.
