Krefta Landscaping

Love our new patio! We extended our patio to add a hot tub. Edson has a vast experience and a good eye and provided great ideas, such as adding a wall for sitting, adding lights, stairs and even suggested potential furniture for our new addition. The work is very professional and the team work clean. At the end of the working day, all equipment is stored in a specific place. The team is hard working and you see changes every single day. We added additional work throughout the project and Edson was very easy to work with and the prices were reasonable. Our yard have been transformed. Even the grass seeding are coming in earlier than expected and we can't wait to enjoy our new patio and the new looking back yard.

Edson: Thank you so much for all work to pull our property together. Our three home enclave at Pierce Farm (1098, 1102 & 1106 Mass Ave, Lexington), is absolutely stunning! ! Lush Landscaping, timing, planting execution, & stone work, as well as keeping on budget were really important to us! I look forward to the next project.! All the best!!

Edson Krefta was highly responsive to my initial request, came over immediately to review my project, provided helpful expertise to define an appropriate scope of work, quickly came (in bad weather) to get the job started, and completed the work on time and without issue. When other contractors said the work had to be done through my neighbors yard, Edson said his crew could do the work entirely from "my" side of the line, avoiding a difficult discussion and potential conflict with my neighbor. He also sourced materials locally, including our towns own compost, to provide excellent soil for this garden oriented project. Finally, he worked with us to provide a project cost that fit our budget. I was very happy with my experience with Krefta Landscaping

Working with Edson and the Krefta team was terrific. We were introduced by some friends who had redone their back yard working with Krefta and had beautiful results. We were looking to do something different and weren’t sure if that was also in Krefta’s wheelhouse but set up a time to discuss. Our consultation with Edson was great. He listened to the design ideas that we had for our yard and made very constructive suggestions (in some cases of additional things we could do and in other cases ways that we could do less and save money). We settled on a design, materials and project plan and pricing was competitive with the other quote we had received. The crew that did the work did a great job and the project was completed within our ideal timeframe (even having experienced some weather-related challenges). The finished project looks fantastic and is precisely what we had hoped for. Highly recommended.

Our commercial project took two years in the planning. After finalizing the architectural plans we went to bid, we requested bids from 12 landscape companies and Krefta Landscaping was in the top three to bid. In considering Krefta many factors went into play. Their bid was reasonable and on target to the project, they bid on what was asked for and not deviating from the design. Other contractors changed the specs and made it difficult to compare, (you know how hard it is to compare bids when they are different; we like comparing apples to apples). The references we used checked out and we even found some high recommendations from them! We then did a site visit to the shop and were impressed of what an operation they have. Talk about boys and their toys, they have a lot of equipment and can handle just about anything. We accepted their bid and got on their schedule, which was another factor that we wanted to know, how long will it take? They came exactly on time and blew out our project exactly one week ahead of schedule. Yes we did have good weather in August which helped keep things moving. Even when we got a deluge of rain which filled the excavation site next to our finished basement they came in the rain within 1/2 hour with pumps and equipment to resolve the standing water, so within two hours after contacting them they resolved the situation. As we progressed with the project every problem was resolved ASAP and usually within the same day. This is how they work all the time. When a problem comes up it gets attended to and resolved! The attention to detail was exceptional and all the workers were respectable to our professional cliental during the project. From the initial contact to the nifty-gritty of the project the whole team is a well-oiled machine. The owner, Edson, is a real craftsman that knows his stuff he guides his team to do it right the first time but if something isn't perfect he will make it right! We had to make our pathway a 5% grade or less which included steps and curbs, which is very tricky, he is a master of making it happen to meet the specs. We were finally inspected by the town building inspector and the proof is in the pudding; where the finished grade was measured to be 4.9%. Nice! Start to finish they do an excellent job and you could be rest assured it will be done right! the first time. We couldn't have chosen a better contractor to do this complex job.
