James was great to work with. He was proactive and did exactly what he said he would do at the price we agreed to.

This project was large at least in my dwelling place. Restructure of the brick work I put in over 15 years ago. I had weeds growing uncontrollably and starting to hurt my plants. Cruger took care of it and even saved some of my favorites. Cruger has shown pride in their work and were extremely kind and wanted to do the best they can to achieve it. I am extremely satisfied in the final product. They were very fair in their pricing and were happy to work with my budget. I can’t stop looking at it. It brings a lot of joy and gives me an opportunity to add what I feel like adding without a weed issue ever again. Give them a call and you’ll be happy you did.

James did a phenomenal job. He cleared a large bluestone planter, mulched and planted a beautiful variety of perennials. He planted new azalea bushes in 2 other locations and everything looks amazing. His work was meticulously done. We are very pleased with how everything turned out, and will be calling James Cruger LLC for future work. Highly recommended.
