Report
We started Lawn Care in 2017 and were pleased, then added a major landscaping "re-do" of another company's work and saw a major difference in creating tilled garden space vs. turned over by the other company. Tim supervised for Lawn Care and Irrigation, Matthew supervised the Landscaping project. Communication has been great, I've been kept up to date throughout. Matthew handled a water leak in the midst of the Christmas holiday. All the of the crew members I have met have had smiles and have been courteous. That goes far! Thank you, Crescent Moon Landscaping.

Report
We recently used Crescent Moon for our landscaping. It was a very large area in back of the house and we had lots of codes and covenants to work around. Steven, the owner, was so patient as we sorted through all the approvals, but most importantly the work is beautiful and thoughtfully laid out. They were also the lowest price by far of three quotes. Sometimes that worries me, but it turned out there was nothing to worry about. They accomplished all the work as proposed. We moved to the Charleston area a year ago and, by far, this was our most pleasant experience with a contractor.

We have been using Crescent Moon for years. Last year we had an issue with our grass dying in the backyard, since having a meeting with the owner we have seen a huge change. Communication has improved, we upgraded our plan and our grass in the backyard is filling in nicely. I am very excited to get to use our backyard now and for the kids to be able to play outside.
