From the beginning of our relationship with Russ and Matt, we knew that we would not have to worry about our properties upkeep. Their people have been on time, respond when we needed extra attention, and they know how to communicate with their customers. All of this makes for a great value!

Jimmy and Tracey did beautiful work sprucing up our home! Our home now has true curb appeal, the hedges are perfectly trimmed and the edging gives it a nice clean look. They were also very helpful with suggestions when I asked what other plants they thought would compliment our home. Very friendly, hard working and efficient people! I look forward to having them work at our home again!

We have used Carpenter & Costin for a few years now at multiple locations (Auto Dealerships), they are prompt, professional, and provide an excellent service for a competitive price. Not to mention the incredible interaction, positive impact, and support they provide to so many of our local communities.

As a Middlebury resident, I saw Carpenter & Costin crew members all summer doing various forms of landscaping around town. In every instance, they were professional, courteous and respectful, always being careful to cover their faces or provide distance as we walked by, saying hello to my kids and just generally being excellent community members. Much thanks to this company for training their employees to be respectful professionals as they work within a community. Kudos!

I could not have been more pleased. Russ came out to assess the job and provided a timely estimate and comprehensive plan. We are extremely happy we chose Carpenter & Costin to design and install our landscaping. Russ and his team (awesome tradesmen) exceeded our expectation. In addition, the cedar deck and decorative rock installed, given the slope and area to be covered. Nonetheless, the rock where carefully placed according to plan. Also - in any project, there will always be unanticipated obstacles and unforeseen hurdles. The true mark of a great business is how it handles these situations and accommodates its customers. In this case, Carpenter & Costin went above and beyond and will absolutely receive my future business -

Carpenter and Costin has done major landscaping, tree removal, beautiful stonework, as well as yearly garden maintenance for my property in Dorset Hollow. I have always been delighted with the work they have done and would recommend them to anyone looking for high quality service delivered by an extremely professional team.

Carpenter & Costin is a very professional company who we use for our business in Rutland on the lawn care side. They are always careful about our vehicles and make our lawn and surrounding area clean and presentable to the public. They often address things before they become an issue and bring ideas on how to improve something ahead of time. I also use them for my personal plowing and lawn care and never have to worry about them making sure my road and lawn are taken care of. They arrive early am to plow or sand and that brings me great piece of mind with my wife bringing our children to daycare on a safe road. I would recommend them to anyone!

The company I work for uses them for lawn maintenance and landscaping. They have managed to break mine and another employee's car windows when they drive over the parking lot with their mower blades running and kick up stones. They of course refuse to accept it as their problem. Also on their latest landscaping job they appear to do nothing except sit in their truck and smoke and it's been a week since they started. Use at your own risk.

From the very first time we met with Russ and Mike, who came over to assess our yard, we felt like we were in good hands. They were so knowledgeable and had great vision for improving our yard that had become overgrown and basically needed an overhaul. Jimmy and his crew showed up on time and got to work going above and beyond, they kept us informed every step and were able to transform our gardens into a beautiful showstopper! We will be using them not only for maintaining the gardens but also to design and install our backyard.

We had Carpenter & Costin replace a rather large retaining wall around our pool and the pool pump. The quality and timeliness of their work and their professionalism is beyond excellent! I would highly recommend their services for anything to do with landscaping, whether it be residential or commercial.

C&C just blew away all our yard leaves. It was quite a job, because we have quite a few to remove every year.We couldn't be more pleased with the work they did, and the crew was very professional. Even asked us if there was anything else we wanted done.Saved these old folks some sore backs!

Carpenter & Costin has been incredible as our year round outdoor maintenance company. Russ (the owner) and Tom (the Manchester Account Manager) are incredibly professional, responsive and they pay close attention to detail as well as quality. They have been working on my property regularly and are always available and willing to go the extra mile. Our landscaping had clearly been neglected when we bought our house and they completely turned everything around, making the garden and lawn look amazing. We also use Carpenter and Costin during the winter months for plowing and salting and they are always here very early in the morning to make sure our driveway is safe. I highly recommend Carpenter and Costin for your yard and year round property maintenance. They are extremely reliable and provide excellent quality.
