MCR Group

Apr 2024

Run! And run fast! Nightmare experience! I paid MCR group nearly $100K for my landscaping and this is what I'm left with. They did such a horrible job on the grading. I have standing water in my yard virtually all the time. Many of my trees and shrubs died in the first season. I made multiple attempts to contact Jesse and Dave regarding the dead plantings with zero response. They cut my septic alarm line, but refused to pay to repair it. They didn't leave enough clearance from grade for my EIFS, so my stucco is going to end up with significant issues over time. Multiple areas of sod need replaced because while I have standing water in many areas, there are places where the sod didn't make it because it was so dry because of the grading issues, despite diligent watering. Speaking of, a sprinkler system was supposed to be installed prior to the sod being laid and is specified in my contract, but they "forgot" to install it. They did give me a credit for the cost of the sprinkler system, but they did not follow the contract and the sod was already laid. They did not direct water away from the home, so I basically have an ice skating rink on my patio all winter where water collects and my sump pump runs continuously. They placed chipped stones on my patio steps. They refused to take accountability for any of this and threatened a lien on my home, if I didn't pay the remaining balance on the contract, despite their horrible work and the grading issues. Their contract states that the homeowner is responsible for all their lawyer fees, if litigation is pursued, so I was forced to just pay them in full for this horrible work! One of the worst experiences of my life and I'm still dealing with it. And will deal with the grading issues for years to come! Please, please do not sign a contract with this company! Jesse is a horrible human being and should be put out of business! I've waited over 2.5 years to make this review, but after the Hell I've been through because of Jesse (and multiple neighbors and other landscapers telling me to sue), I'm ready to start reviewing MCR group on every site I can find! This is what $100k of landscaping will get you with Jesse! Pictures below of the grading issues. RUN!!!

MCR Group, led by Jesse *******, built my driveline and backyard. They did not finish the work and left after I paid them the full amount of money. Unfortunately, my driveline cracked within a few months, and despite my attempts to reach out to them, they did not respond to my calls.

They not only took forever, but completely damaged the neighbor's yard and refused to respond to their requests to fix it. Now our neighbor is mad at us. They won't return any calls or texts. Stay away.
