55B Village Pl, Glastonbury Connecticut 06033
We moved from Texas, so we were unaccustomed to living in a state with four seasons. We also moved to a home with a large property that had not been tended for many years. Our new neighbors told us that the old owners mowed their lawn twice a year, whether it needed it or not. That is not a joke. The side yard of the property was used as basically a trash heap. We found toilets and cones and drums and broken down bits of who knows what. I mean a lot of of it. The trees were overgrown and they were going to eventually do damage once they got too heavy from the snow or wind.
A friend of ours, here in Glastonbury, recommended Thompson Landscaping. I cannot say enough about how much they have done for us. They have welcomed us like family members and have taught us how to live in at least summer, fall and winter seasons with property like we have.
They have come over regularly to see how we’re doing, make suggestions about things we may not have considered, to pick up trash, to cut down trees, to take out old plants/overgrowth/vines, haul away all that trash, to cut down dying plants/shrubs/bushes, to cut back neglected plants so that they regrow, to overseed the yard, which grew beautifully, to shovel snow, to take away all of the leaves during the fall, to lay down large amounts of mulch, to provide us with firewood, to check our outdoor plumbing (drains), to mow the lawn…but the most important was the day that our wellhead broke.
The power went out for two hours, and when it came back on, we had no water. It began to snow and we tried to fix it ourselves. I called Thompson Landscaping and they came out immediately with a small tractor. Matt dug for hours and hours in the snow with a good attitude and a smile. Thompson Landscaping called all their friends and business associates and people who weren’t even working anymore to come and help us figure out how to reach our well head, repair it and then bring it above ground. *Nod to Glastonbury Water Systems and Staven’s Drilling (thank you!)* They treated us like family. They have always treated us like family, and because of that we will stay with them.
Their prices are fair. Their staff is nice and knowledgeable. They are always available to us, and I simply cannot say enough about them. If you’re looking to work with real people who care about you and your home then work with Thompson Landscape. We plan on doing lots and lots more work with Thompson as the years go by. We have big plans from the driveway, to the front patio and walkway, to build a deck in the back, to redo the backyard and planting trees/pulling out trees and who knows what else. We look forward to it. Thank you Sam, Matt and all of you at Thompson Landscape!!
I am posting a few pictures here. The junkie pictures are when we moved in and there are pictures that show progress. Some of the pictures don’t show the grass as beautifully as it came out, but maybe I’ll post those again when the spring comes.
