Posted on George RiggsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Glenn just finished a small project that involved clearing out several trees, regrading a driveway, and building a small retaining wall. Before starting, Glenn spent a lot of time with me going over various approaches and outcomes for this project. The end result has worked out great. In spite of weather challenges, he was able to kept the project moving. He was always available for questions. The friendly workers always cleaned up the site after each day. I couldn’t be any happier with the process and end result.Posted on Raymond SturzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I found this company by accident as they were doing work at my neighbor's house. They seemed to be doing a fine job so I asked for a quote to do tree work on my property. I couldn't be happier with the work they performed. The workers spent the day climbing trees and cutting off branches. They cleaned up so well that if you didn't see where the branches were cut, you'd never know that they were there. After they finished, they asked me to walk around with them to be sure that I was satisfied. I dealt with Bruce and Anthony. They have a business model that harkens back to the days when you could do work on a handshake and know you could trust them to do the work well. I will use them again and highly recommend them.Posted on Laura LynchTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had several trees cut down with Hilltop and I am very, very satisfied with the work and the process! Hilltop Masonry & Landscaping was recommended to me. We had a number of trees to cut down, in fact I initially thought we would get a few more trees, but Glenn clearly has expertise in this and was honest in his recommendations. He suggested holding off on one big tree for another time and instead of cutting down some small trees, to rather just do pruning. His suggestions and honesty helped me understand the structure/roots of trees on my property more, but it also showed me he was not trying to just get a big job (big price). Glenn was fair with price and was efficient in getting the work done. Workers were very kind, too. It definitely makes me want to work with the company in the future.Posted on Cathy BurressTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had Hilltop come to plant mums and clean up yard and leaves. They did a really good job. Have recommended them to friends.Posted on Anthony AnnunziataTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Glenn from Hilltop was fantastic his man are professional neat and very organized. I would recommend that if you need landscaping and or a fence use his company.Posted on Bobby BudhuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hilltop is friendly, professional and easy to work with. We find them to be very honest, reliable and reasonable in terms of prices on various projects such as, building wall, preparing backyard, blacktop and removal of debris, etc compared to many other similar contractors who have very much deceived us in so many ways. We recommend them highly!Posted on Stephen DaminTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was our first landscape project with Hilltop and they exceeded our expectations. Glenn was very knowledgeable and helped make our vision a reality. We loved how it came out and are already looking forward to the next project. Highly recommend Hilltop!Posted on Jacques DiCroceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted Hilltop Masonry & Landscaping to inquire about replacing a decaying retaining wall on my property. I received a call back from Glenn within 5 minutes and 30 minutes later he came to look at the condition of the wall and discuss hardscape options. After consultation, I decided to replace the existing wall with a new railroad tie wall. He gave me a ball park estimate on the spot and followed up with a formal estimate within a few days. The estimate was very competitive and after confirming a few details, I accepted the proposal. A week later, a crew was onsite to start the demolition of the old wall. The crew was very professional, respectful of the property, used high quality materials, cleaned up after each workday, and minimized any inconvenience during the construction of the new wall. They made suggestions during the course of the construction that we hadn’t considered to enhance the outcome. The project was completed in 4 days, the work and attention to detail was exceptional and we couldn’t be happier with the end result. I highly recommend working with Glenn and his team.Posted on huguette AntoineTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
