Todd Griffin Landscaping, a.k.a. Creative Design (Baton Rouge, LA) Imagine giving someone
thousands of dollars to completely destroy your lawn after you were convinced that they were going to make your yard look like and award winning park. As embarrassed as I am to admit it this is what Todd
Griffin Landscaping, a.k.a. Creative Designs did to me.There really is no need to go into detail about this as his business practices are so bad I can do nothing but recommend that you go with any other
landscape company you can find. However, if you are interested in more detail then keep on reading. Before I describe some of the problems let me first explain that I spent somewhere between 100-150 hours trying
to deal with Todd Griffin, in a three year span, to get things fixed and although I was successful in sometimes getting him to make promises to fix things the bottom line is that the yard is still in
horrible condition. What problems you ask?
- The backyard never had any problems with draining water but now when there is just an average rain the backyard looks like a pond. Even if he had everything else fixed this alone would make the yard
worthless and he was never willing to make sure that it got fixed.
- There were three very old, large trees in the backyard that were very healthy until Todd Griffin worked on the yard. All three are now dead and I had to spend over $1,000.00 of my own money to cut down these
trees. Although it is basically impossible to prove who killed these trees I had three licensed arborists tell me that the landscapers - Todd Griffin Landscaping - probably killed the trees by cutting up
feeder roots when they put down the new sod.
- The intended design of the yard has been completely compromised due to the loss of the trees and the dead grass caused by the standing water. Therefore, the yard is extremely unattractive in terms of
professional landscape design.
He is no better than your basic criminal in my opinion and I highly recommend that you stay as far away from this guy as you can. If you need information immediately on landscaping and Baton Rouge contact me
directly as I have kept a lot of the research that I did on the subject. It is very hard to find good landscaping companies in Baton Rouge, and with my success, perhaps it would better to ask someone else
for advice on who to use. I guess I am just hoping that I can help people avoid being completely ripped off by posting this critique. Just stay away from this company and you will at least have a
better chance. If you would like more information please write me directly at [email protected].Good luck to you in finding a landscape company that will treat you right and most important, make your lawn look good.
