What Clients Say..

Wooden Deck
We were very happy with Cruger Contracting. They removed our old walkway and installed a new one with Cambridge pavers. It looks beautiful! He also took out our old overgrown bushes. He was very helpful with suggestions about the best plants for our space. He’s very knowledgeable about plants and landscaping. James was very responsive to all our questions. He is conscientious and takes pride in his work. He even did more than we asked! He and his crew worked very hard and we were very pleased with the end result. We highly recommend James and his crew.
