I really liked Brian Fish and his crew. they were nice and cleaned up. Its just that the liner is leaking and the work was not done correct.

We hired Shovel and Thumb to create garden areas at the front and side of our house, install irrigation, and put in gravel pathways. They also brought in large granite rocks to add more interest to the space. They were willing to work with us and allow my husband to do the lighting part of the project, which we really appreciated. They provided advice and suggestions all along the way, so that we ended up with a space with which we are proud to have. They are easy to work with--friendly and professional. They completed the project in a timely fashion. We couldn't be happier with the outcome!

Our project was to demolish our old wood deck built on a slab of cement and replace it with a paver patio. Some companies were not interested because of the limited access to our backyard and they could not get their equipment in to do the work. Cohan saw the situation and said they would do it by hand. Cohan was very helpful in explaining everything and offered many suggestions. He and his crew were very friendly, helpful and easy to work with. They did an excellent job and cleaned up each day. We love our new patio. We are thinking of other projects that we would like to hire Cohan and Co., to do. We would greatly recommend them to anyone looking for a company to do their landscaping.

Our paving and landscape project progressed smoothly. We felt fortunate to have the expertise of Cohan and his father Brian in their family run business. The teams spirit of cooperativeness, dependability, honesty, and attention to detail were appreciated by my husband and me. I cannot recommend them enough.

Shovel & Thumb did a great job and we are extremely satisfied with the results. They were on time, right on budget and did high quality work from start to finish. They left my yard in pristine condition and we love the change! If you want to make your neighbors secretly jealous of you call Brian and Cohan. We will be rehiring them to do our next project soon.

Their business model is based on pleasing the customer. They were as interested in a quality fountain installation as we were. They were creative and gave us options every step of the project. They used quality materials. They showed up and competed the project in timely fashion. Very personable. We have another fountain project in the works with them.

Their business model is based on pleasing the customer. They spent a great deal of time discussing our fountain project and then giving us many options and choices. They were knowledgeable, timely, and creative. We have chosen them to install an additional fountain/garden feature, which will start soon. Very personable people.

Brian and Cohan (father and son) are great people to work with. They did an excellent job, they were all the time very easy to work with. Great ideas and they were very accommodating if I wanted to have anything extra or different. Both have a great sense of humor and are very friendly. They even entertained my kids while working in the garden! I will use them for more projects in the future and recommended to my neighbors. In summary: I would highly recommend them and if it was possible would give them both a 6 STAR rating!!!!

They did what they said they would do. You don't always find that these days. They were on time, both for the estimate and the installation. They cleaned up after the installation -- and they were nice people!

Father and son landscapers. So much fun to work with. I gave them free rain to map out my backyard for me. I was in tears when they finished. It is more than I could of imagined. I am going to hire them to landscape my front yard soon. I highly recommend this landscaping duo. Highly.

I wish I could give a higher rating. I recommend them highly. They were here the day after we hired them and installed beautiful sod in both our front and back yards in two days, They are both professional and friendly and their rates are very reasonable. GREAT JOB AND EXPERIENCE!

I received excellent service from start to finish. The day after I contacted Shovel & thumb I had a bid. The next day Cohen came out to mark the site. Two days later I have a beautiful fence. This company takes pride in their work.

Brian was very friendly, knowledgable and helpful. Should I have any future needs with my landscape irrigation I would call him first.

Excellent work at finding drainage solutions and rebuilding a lawn area that was in total disrepair. Extremely knowledgable in horticulture and landscaping. Provided extra value in discussion on landscape issues, and service provided was fast and efficient. Would not hesitate in recommending to others.
