Natural Landscape and Irrigation

Last fall, we were in the budget to have our backyard completely redone; our old stone wall was falling apart, the soil was swampy, and the shrubbery was generally a mess. We talked to a few contractors and concluded that we needed to revamp our drainage system, take out the rock wall and possibly put in a new block retaining wall, do a huge cleanup and put down new plantings.
It was a big job, but what we liked about them was that they stuck by their policy of not asking for any payment until we were fully satisfied with what we had originally envisioned. We ended up adding more and more to the original project and ended up replacing our lawn and adding irrigation to a bunch of our plantings because we liked the job they did so much. Highly recommend this company!

I left a voicemail for them, they didn’t reply, so I called again. When they did answer, the person stated «oh yes, I remember listening to that voicemail» (2 days earlier). Then they proceded to tell me that they weren’t working on project like mine until March… I was asking for a bid and an estimate… not the work to be completed. Doesn’t sound like they need or want the business if they can’t call you back and ask you to call THEM back in 6 weeks.

Had my sprinkler system malfunction– would not turn off. Called Mr. Cuong– he agreed to come fix it. He arrived late, but did call. He charged me $ 55.00 to turn my system off, said he would return at 5pm to make repairs, which would be another $ 90.00. He never showed up. Tried calling; voice mail full. Post script: Mr Cuong called at 8:30 pm– offered to come by and make repair. He came and did the work for the agreed upon $ 90.00.

I had Mr Cuong come by to give me a quote on clean up and ongoing maintenance for my yard. He showed up promptly and we agreed on a price. I thought that it was on the high side, but the maintenance fee was very reasonable.
His crew came the next week and did a great job on the clean up and haul away but did not spray the weeds nor vac the driveway, but their trucks took up the whole driveway and I figured that they just forgot. Mr Cuong arrived the next day to see if I was happy and receive payment. I mentioned that the weeds had not been sprayed as we agreed. He told me that they pull on the first go round and then spray afterwards if need be. He told they would be back in a month to keep an eye on things and maintain the garden. After a month went by they didn’t show so I called him and he said he had his crews scheduled for the next week. They didn’t show, so I called at the end of the week and was told the same thing. The next week the same thing happened. It’s now the busy time of the year, my garden needs work and I have to find someone else to do it when I had an agreement with Mr Cuong.
Bad business Mr Cuong! You won’t be in business in LO for long if you don’t change your ways!

Mr. Cuong sounds like a skilled craftsman, but for simple yard maintenance, he is NOT the one to call! We live on nearly .5 acre and needed our grass cut, some ivy removed and some other smaller tasks completed before moving on to bigger landscaping projects. After providing an estimate, he delivered and promptly deserted a crew who did a sloppy and incomplete job. Mr. Cuong answered his phone on three separate occasions, promising to finish the job and DIDN’T SHOW UP! THREE TIMES!
Very disappointed. Mr. Cuong, if you have bigger and better projects to do, just say so.

I recently renovated my rental home in Portland, and was looking for an expert to help with my yard and overall appearance of my landscape. Thankfully, I found Mr. Cuong!
I needed some major repair work done to my sprinkler system, which hadn’t worked properly in years. I was impressed at how quickly the job was finished, but the quality and craftmanship of his work was the most pleasing of all. It was in dire need of a complete overhaul, and now it works better than it did originally!
He also helped me with some landscape design in my back yard, and several flower beds that now look AMAZING. My yard looks beautiful, and I am very proud of it.
I was extremely impressed with the attention to detail that was given to both my sprinkler system repair and overall landscape. I thought his service was impeccable, and his prices were fair. I would highly recommend Mr. Cuong’s services.

I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Cuong and his company. I would recommend them to anyone.
We moved into our house last summer keeping in mind that sooner or later we would have to have some lawn and garden work done, but then we forgot. By the start of this new spring season, after enduring such a harsh winter, a lot of our plants, two trees, and most of the lawn was either dead or dying. Mr. Cuong to the rescue!
His crew took out my old dying lawn and resodded it, then planted many low maintenance plants including ground covers and a few shrubs. They removed down two dying trees and remulched the whole place – my yard looks like a whole different landscape! The work would have taken me weeks to do by myself (not including the hundreds of dollars I would have to spend on renting the right equipment) and there is no way it would have looked as nice! As a plus, his prices were very reasonable compared to the other landscaper I got a quote from.
Since my outdoor landscape looks so great now, I probably won’t need any more work done for awhile, but when I do, I’m definitely calling Natural Landscape & Irrigation!

When we moved to our home in Durham, we lucked out and found Mr. Cuong. This was 10 years ago. He and his crew put in a sprinkler system in our from yard, then, later built our brick patio in back.
We have Mr. Cuong take care of our lawn and grounds. The work is done efficiently and very reasonably. You can always discuss any issues you are having with your lawn. Mr. Cuong is very knowledgeable and will give good advice. I trust him completely.
We are very pleased with him and recommend him highly.
