My husband and I were so unhappy with the drainage problem we had in our backyard that we had decided to sell our home that we truly loved. My husband googled and found Going The Extra Mile Landscaping Company and gave them a call. They responded immediately and were here within 48 hours after our phone conversation. Long story short is they showed us the problem and quickly came to our home with helpers ( some of the nicest people you will meet) and started working on fixing the issues we had and also as a bonus I got a beautiful landscaped backyard! We are so pleased with our backyard now and I can’t say enough good things about this company. If anyone has any drainage problems or needs landscaping I highly recommend this company. My backyard now has beautiful grass and plants growing. I have also called this company with plant care questions and they answer quickly and show genuine concern about my yard. Thanks again to the great guy from Going The Extra Mile. We highly recommend them to anyone! Derek and Donna Baker
Cedric made it all happen for our sodding issues. Professional & prompt, communicating quickly if questions. Got our yard sodded the same week we called. Pretty yard & happy customers. A+
Cedric was wonderful to with on our project. This was a very large project, new sprinkler system and a dry creek bed to resolve a drainage issue. His team worked very hard and made several adjustment to get the project complete and meet our needs. Cedric is great to work with, very responsive and totally focused on delivering exactly what he promised and how he can meet our expectations. We highly recommend Going the Extra mile for and landscape, sprinkler projects anyone has. Thank You again Cedric Don Shipley
I called Going the Extra Mile to get a estimate and Cedric responded immediately. I highly recommend his company for any landscaping projects. They were polite, professional and very knowledgeable. Cedric is was always available for any questions before, during and after the job was done. We were well pleased with the quality of the work they did and with the reasonable price.
I called for an estimate and they came out as promised. The work was done excellently and on time. My neighbors have commented by text and in person how nice the landscaping looks. Cedric and his crew were friendly and hard working. I felt the price was fair and they definitely went the extra mile for me.
First house with a sprinkler system, so I am new to the game. I already busted a part failing to winterize my first year in, so I wasn't taking any chances. This past winter, I called someone to winterize the sprinkler system. So when it came time to start the sprinklers back up, I should call someone to help with that. I called Going the Extra Mile. They walked me through the process, explaining what they were doing as they went. One of the sprinkler heads did not come up, and they were easily able to identify what was causing the problem and to fix it right up. They were professional and affordable. Great work!
I have attempted to get multiple landscaping companies (4) to quote a drainage issue. They would get me scheduled but no call no show. Going The Extra Mile was able to come out give me a quote and multiple options within two days. They are very knowledgeable and professional.
Cedric and his team did an excellent job on our flower beds. They were knowledgeable, respectful and caring when it came to helping us achieve exactly what we wanted. They took our beds down to bare minimum and completely rebuilt them and helped us in choosing what plants would look best for our home. He also helped us remove several old stumps from our yard that were bad eye sores. Out of 5 contractors we called for estimates, Cedric was the only person to call us back. They did an incredible job and I will keep his information on hand for any future jobs needed.
My front shrub bed looks so good and they do a great job in maintaining my sprinkler system. I am always pleased with their service.
I emailed the contact us with a request for an estimate with pictures. 2 weeks, no reply. Emailed the main guy directly to check up on it. 2 weeks, no reply. I call, I was told next Tuesday we ll get out there. Tuesday came and went, no answer. I call again, they say later today we ll definitely get out there . No answer, no call saying they got busy or something, nothing. Their reviews show they they re supposedly the best, but no customer service for me to just get a dang estimate, who knows how long the work would take. Updated info: gentleman came out, very nice, took a look, however no estimate has been sent yet.
I recently hired Cedric and his team at Going the Extra Mile for a landscape update to my front yard beds and new sod for the yard. They also trimmed a small tree, pruned a few bushes, moved some heavy clay pots and enhanced a watering faucet, making it easier for me to operate. This was my second good experience with the company, the other about three years ago. They are highly efficient, promptly return phone calls, are courteous and quite talented in their profession. I find their pricing to be reasonable. Cedric can be trusted to do what he says he will do. He is a Master Gardener and has been in this business for 20+ years. I love being able to support small businesses and this small business is a winner. Give them a try.
It is my opinion that the owner of going the extra mile Cedric is a totally bogus. I spent $23,000 and have to redo everything he did. Don t let him touch your sprinkler system either or any drainage work. The plants he promised were not what i got little tiny dying ones. Bad experience.!!
I needed 12 trees planted and didn t know any landscaping companies in the area so I did a search and then emailed a few candidates. Cedric responded quickly. He was the only one to respond. Then he drove 40 miles to my place on Super Bowl Sunday (!) to give me an estimate. Once my trees arrived he immediately came over and planted them. Very timely and professional !
Although I had a not-so-great experience initially, Mr. Cedric did come out, as promised, after my review. They came out; evaluated my drainage issue, but never sent an estimate.
Had extensive landscaping work done; pretty much had to rebuild my backyard. Cedric and his crew were very professional, responsive and did excellent work. Would definitely recommend them to others.
Cedric and his crew did a great job cleaning my beds and removing all the leaves in my yard. I will gladly use them again!
Cedric and his crew with Going the Extra Mile did an outstanding job on our landscaping project on the front and backyard areas! Outstanding service and would highly recommend!
From the initial call and meeting, Cedrick was prompt in answering the phone and keeping us posted on his process in preparing the yard and installing a French drain. Our side yard was exceptionally challenging to access and his team had trees removed (including stumps) and installed the drain which has already been tested by recent downpours. Since completion, not a drop of water has invaded our basement!! Our investment the peace of mind and safety!!!
Wow! A very fair price for work that turned out so much better than expected. Cannot recommend enough.
I found this company while searching for a good landscaping company that could handle a large drainage issue. I read the google reviews and was impressed by both peoples reviews and the owners responses. I emailed the company and received an almost immediate response from Cedric. That within itself is impressive in this day in time! Cedric came out to my house and explained the course of action needed and provided a very reasonable price for my project. I cant even begin to explain the extent of the drainage issues I was experiencing in several parts of my property. When I say I literally had rivers running through my back yard and down my property, due to water drainage from my neighbors beside and behind me, I am not exaggerating! And on top of this, the water was not drying up and was sitting stagnant in many locations throughout my property. After the initial digging/drainage rock/drain pipe installation, we had a torrential down pour in my area and I was able to see immediate results! Once the rain subsided, the areas that had been holding water for weeks at a time dried up within hours! So needless to say, Cedric and Corey did a great job! Additionally, anytime I had questions or concerns they were addressed and Cedric was very easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend this company if you are experiencing drainage/standing water issues and I have no doubt they are just as skilled and professional in all other services they provide. Should I ever need anything that relates to my yard in the future, I will be contacting Going the Extra Mile Landscaping! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
I was going to leave a lengthy review... but decided not to. Made arrangements to meet twice over a months time... never showed up. My husband went with another company on our one property spent over $2k and I spent over $2k with our current property with my garden bed. I still need standing water issue fixed. Will find a more caring company to do so that wont judge based off of area. Follow up: 4/21/23 After posting review, someone from the company did show up quickly and gave a quote. Matter of fact showed up at least three times since the review. I was told that they couldn t find the home through gps and that can be an issue but most people would call and ask for directions. We did get a quote and initially was going to use them but found another company to install a French drain to keep the water from going under our house at a way cheaper price.
Amazing company , Fast, Responsive, & Reliable
Amazing ! Very professional & amazing crew of guys. 10/10
Cedric and his guys did a great job with installing my French drain. He was very knowledgeable and helpful in making me understand exactly how it works and what to expect. Im overall very pleased with the outstanding customer service and professionalism of Going The Extra Mile. Whenever I call with a concern, he immediately puts my mind at ease. I really appreciate you guys. Thanks again!.
The job included three parts. First-rejuvenation pruning of an old fig tree. The bitter cold snap this past winter was too much for the exposed parts of the plant. Many new stems are growing at the base. With the large trunks removed, the bush will be more accessible. Cedric and his men managed to control the tallest 20 foot tall trunk so that all of the wildflowers in the area with the exception of a stem or two were preserved. Second-installing a drain under a walkway to divert water from a downspout away from the houses foundation as well as away from the underside of the driveway. Third-removal of long term nandina bushes along one side of the house. Efforts to remove these sturdy shrubs by hand came to nought. Cedric had to rent a Bobcat excavator to dig out these large plants. They carried all the plant material to the curbside to be picked up by the city. Overall my daughter, the home owner, was very pleased to have these jobs completed in as timely a fashion as could be done due to the persistant rainfall this spring.
Really pleased with the quality and speed of the work. Cedric and his team were on top of it from the word go. Im very excited to see my new plants bloom and grow over the years.
I am having two projects done by this company: a landscaping of my yard (3 sides) and a realignment of the sprinkler system. The first project is nearly done, and it is a significant improvement over what I have ever had. I am particularly pleased with the south side work, which was terribly eroded. The landscapers have built a retaining wall, back-filled with soil and eco-friendly plants, and thus created a lovely area that will be maintenance-free in the future. The second project is underway, and it corrects (and improves upon) a sprinkler system I had installed more than 15 years ago. This one includes a drain so that my yard doesnt drown in heavy rains as well as a repositioning of some of the sprinkler heads so that the plants that have survived our combo freeze/drown are encouraged to flower and thrive. Im very excited to get all this work done so very well.
Cedric is a great guy who really takes care of things in a timely manner. He is a can do guy with a winning personality, and a pleasure to do business with! Would highly recommend Cedric and his company!
Unfortunately, I had a disappointing experience with Going the Extra Mile Landscaping. I had patio and drainage work done by the company and both were very poor quality/not properly competed; I had to compete/repair work myself and will have to hire another company to further correct. The patio work started to fail within a week and looks awful just months after the the company completed their work; the patio has already completely failed in a number of months from work completion. The workers also damaged our sprinkler system by dumping stone on pipes and cutting other pipes which cost me $1500 to repair. I evaluated reviews and thought I made a good choice in hiring this company for my projects but quickly grew disappointed, which was expressed to Cedric at the time, including explaining that the work was not properly completed. Cedric is pleasant and showed up (not always common) but the patio work is just upsetting and will have to be completely reworked. Its unfortunate that I am unable to recommend for drainage, masonry or patio projects. I cannot speak to yard cleanup basic landscape projects. I do not like leaving negative reviews but feel requests for corrections/completion were not properly addressed and those evaluating reviews for similar projects may wish to be aware of this customers experience.
Going extra mile came out and got my overgrown landscaping back in order. My yard was very overgrown but now all of my neighbors are slowing down looking an amazement of how great my landscaping look now. Wow what a difference they made. Thanks again you guys you really went the extra mile. Positive
We had them replace a retaining wall along a 100 ft. driveway bed complete with new drainage system and create a rock stairway down a rough grade in the backyard to our swing set. They promptly came out for the estimate, started the job exactly when they said they would, charged exactly what they said they would charge and stayed with the job until it was done. They cleaned up their mess and left us with a really nice result. How many contractor jobs go that smoothly? We will be calling them again for other projects!
Cedric and Going the Extra Mile have been great to work with. Since moving here, they have helped us with landscaping, backflow (RPZ) maintenance, sprinkler maintenance and more. They are responsive and have been quick to schedule, even during peak times. I cannot recommend highly enough! They are wonderful
The company title describes this team. Cedric and his team responded to our request/need in a timely fashion, which helped us out tremendously. They are friendly, professional and do quality work. This is the second time we ve used this company and will do so again should the need arise.
They were able to get my sprinkler system leak repair after the initial service call and had the job done very professionally. Highly recommend!
I had trees that needed to be trimmed, flower beds to be cleaned up, and a lot of poison ivy that needed to be cleared out. They took care of everything in a timely manner and I would definitely recommend. Thanks!
Cedric Webb and Staff has been Providing Professional Services @ my Property for 3 years. Dependable!!!! Or even comes @ Short notices!!! Positive Responsiveness, Punctuality
Great job with our landscaping, magnolia tree azaleas rocks and blue winter flowers, very pretty and well done, seemed a bit expensive however prices have increased in general, I will call to use their services again and follow up with another review.
Cedric and his team completely redid our back yard due to a huge drainage problem. Cedric recommended a solution, and it works beautifully. They terraced the yard and installed beautiful rocks and stepping stones in some places and replaced the sod in others. They also trimmed tree branches, mulched our front and back flower beds, cleaned our back yard fence so it looks new, installed a taller privacy fence on one side of our property, and added some new plants. We couldnt be more pleased. He and his crew are hard workers and very pleasant gentlemen, and we highly recommend them!
In late February 2022, here in Little Rock we had ice. I was iced in for several days. Finally I called Going the Extra Mile. The gentlemen there came out the very next morning, early, and assessed the situation. Then they went to the supply store and bought de-icer. They came back and took care of 22 wooden steps and three landings leading up to my second floor unit. I am 70 and had no help. These fellows saved the day for me. They responded quickly, showed up right on time, did the work perfectly, and really went the extra mile. The fee was perfectly reasonable, and I was glad to pay. Call these gentlemen for whatever you might need. They are reliable, pleasant, and effective.
We contacted Going the Extra Mile about a sodding project. Cedric came by in an extremely timely manner and after showing him what we had in mind, asked him to look at a backyard problem with a filled-in pool area. He recommended a nice large patio over the area. We had already contracted for a new fence and he indicated we needed to be get this done before the fence was installed. We loved his idea. They moved forward quickly and did an excellent job. His crew was friendly, courteous and very professional. The price was right too! Needless to say, we are moving forward with Cedric and his company to complete our remaining landscape needs including the original sodding requirement.
These guys are professional fast and efficient! They came to service my house quickly after initial contact. They were friendly professional and efficient. I look forward to scheduling them regularly for my lawn service!
Im planning a DIY project to drain standing water from my yard. Cedric was nice enough to come out and give me a consultation. He was friendly and very knowledgeable. Ill follow his advice to the letter and If I get stuck hell be the first one I call to finish the project! I would definitely recommend giving him a call.
They did an amazing job with our lawn and shrubs. I would recommend these guys to anyone. Thanks.
Cedric and his crew did a fantastic job installing French drains, landscaping, sodding and fence repair for my back yard. My back yard looks awesome and it was worth every penny. They definitely went the extra mile. I love spending time outside now. I would highly recommend them.
Cedrick and his crew were very nice and professional. They came on a Sunday so they could fit my yard work into their busy schedule they did a great job. Well done
I highly recommend Going the Extra Mile. They were very responsive, informative, and did quality work. They put in new sod for my front yard as well as placing hedges and gravel to line my driveway and sidewalk. We are very happy with the results and I will be using them again.
They were able to get to us quickly to repair our sprinkler system. They work fast. We had a leak in the line repaired and some sprinkler heads that were too short replaced. Very happy with their work.
I am respectfully asking for a refund for the $250 trip charge for cool deck & retaining wall repairs. This estimate was not recieced within the time frame agreed to.i sent this message and got no responce: The owner responded back and agreed to give 1/2 my money back. That was fair I believe.
Cedric and his team arrived at my house ready to work! And boy did they work quickly to repair, move, and adjust several heads in my sprinkler system. They explained what they were doing and overall we re great guys to deal with. I can recommend Going the Extra Mile for your lawn care needs.
Update: After reading my review the owner came back out and we worked out the price. They are truly customer oriented. My fault for not asking about pricing before they started the work. I had a sprinkler head replaced and all sprinklers adjusted about 2 years ago and it was $130 so I was expecting around that price. I just paid Going the extra mile landscaping service $300 to replace one sprinkler head. The original invoice was for $355 and after a discussion about the unexpected cost we agreed to $300. They were very professional and responsive and would use them again if not for the price.
These guys came out and cleaned up our flowerbeds, placed a drain and buried another drain, trimmed trees, and even made a new flowerbed plus mulched all of the flowerbeds (and there are A LOT) and did such a great job! They are quick and professional. I would recommend them to anyone! It is like a different yard!
No need to research anymore, save time and hire them! They will bend over backwards to ensure your landscaping needs are met and the cost is fair. They helped get my house under contract for sale. They wont disappoint!
Going the Extra Mile got the job done quickly, professionally, and for a great price. Cedric responded quickly to my quote request and any questions I had along the way, and the work they did was excellent. I had them clean-up my flower beds, and put in some mulch and sod; and Ill definitely go back to them for any future landscaping needs!
Cedric responded to our request for a recommendation and a cost estimate on the same day we contacted him. He and his team worked diligently to complete the quality work in a timely fashion. We recommend his services for any type of drainage and landscaping concerns.
I had a 125 foot problem along a fence line that desperately needed help. I contacted Cedric and requested his advice and a quote for the work needed. His quote was very reasonable and Cedric along with his staff attacked the problem space and successfully converted an eyesore into a wonderful bed with plants and a river rock base. Excellent work and I could not ask for more cooperation and attention to detail that was displayed by everyone involved in the project.
I had top soil delivered and grass seed spread in my backyard. Cedric and his crew do great work and they also get the job done quickly. I will definitely call them again.
This is the 3rd straight year I ve used Cedric and his crew for leaf removal. They are thorough, punctual, and they work hard and efficiently. The price matches the value of their work, and if I need any other landscaping jobs in the future, I m calling them first. Thanks to the crew again for another great job and for being able to fit me into your schedule.
Cedric and his crew do an excellent job!!
They did some landscaping for us adding bushes, removing old landscaping items, and adding some sod. The work was done well and has held up. We will use them again and would recommend them to anyone needing quality landscape work.
Cedric and his crew are great It is so nice to know that they will take care of your yard and the work is excellent. They were super professional, fast, and got my lawn back in great shape.
Cedric and his crew were amazing! I have a large, cumbersome yard and they whipped it right into shape. They worked efficiently and professionally. I am going to schedule them to come back quarterly to maintain our lawn. I highly recommend them to everyone!

We have been extremely pleased with the services provided and would highly recommend Cedric and his team.
I highly reccomend this company.Came within 30 minutes of my call and did the work the next day. Owner and workers were all very polite and informative to me of the repairs to my sprinkler that needed to be done.
Great Experience and Fast Service!!!! Called and work was done in two days.
I contacted Going the Extra Mile and was very pleased with their service. They responded quickly to my inquiry and their work was excellent. The crew is very polite and they work quickly. Very satisfied!!!! My neighbor even got an estimate from them after they finished my yard.
Going the extra mile has been handling our yard service for well over a year. Outstanding customer service and excellent work at a great price. Any additional work needed, they have been quick to respond and very reasonable on prices. Best yard service I have found in my 15 years of providing maintenance to any of my facilities.
I had a French drain done by Going the Extra Mile Landscaping. Cedric, the boss, kept me up to date of the progress, so I had good control of my schedule. He and his crew did a good job, and going the extra mile by laying more sod than he should. The sod was beyond the original estimate. Thanks a lot!
Best
