Classic Gardens & Landscape Inc

Lawn Fertilization & Treatment, Landscaping, Lawn and Yard Work,

About us

Classic Gardens & Landscape, Inc. was founded in January of 1990. Previously in the same location was another landscape/garden center that Mike had worked with for five years. When that business left they took everything with them. Mike and Ann started over from scratch. The name Classic was chosen to signify the quality type of garden center that Mike & Ann had envisioned. But a name alone does not a garden center make. Questions were asked, “What is most important to customers that shop at garden centers?”. Our answers such as excellent quality and a huge selection of hard to find plants were obvious. But the most important asset of a quality garden center is excellent Service and very knowledgeable staff.

The service includes application of fertilizer, weed spray and pre-emergent. They also leave a detailed lawn report showing who the technician was (Most of the time its the same technician each month), if they saw any issues such as lawn insects, mowing height, watering amounts ect... and what the suggested remedy is. They also, at my request, always call the day before coming so I know to keep my pets off the lawn and safe. I really appreciate that.
Description of Work: Classic Gardens does a monthly lawn service application on my entire lawn. This includes fertilizer, weed treatment and pre-emergent.

I have a contract with them. They come on a monthly basis. They do the fertilizing twelve months a year and it is $53 a time. They charge $106 for lawn pest maintenance but they do it only three times a year. I think they are a little bit high when I consider the whole package. I have had them for about a year and I am still seeing how they do as opposed to the one I have had in the past. I would continue to use them in the future.

They seem to do a very good job. They are very responsive. They are very good. Their prices are reasonable. I am a long time customer. They worked with me when I needed to cut back for a little bit. They will definitely suspend your services for a while if you want to let your grass grow. They have worked with me on my needs. They have been very responsive and dependable. I needed to change the timing, frequency, and type of needs and they met those. I pay them per session. They go up to $65.00 or $75.00 depending on how much they do.
Description of Work: I use Classic Gardens & Landscape for lawn service. They come and cut my grass and trim the bushes every 3 weeks. They are basically doing dandelion shredding right now.

Member, I believe you are confused. You are not one of our customers and we do not cut grass or trim shrubs. We provide fertilization and weed control for the lawn and fertilization and insect conrol for the shrubs. However, we would be happy to provide these services for you. Thank You.

We called on Thursday 2/24/2011 to get an estimate on fertilization and lawn treatments for our front and back yards. They said it would be done by Saturday morning 2/26. They mosied on over, oh, on Tuesday, 3/1/11. They left an estimate on the door with a contract that stipulated by signing it is a "Binding Contract" and you MUST have 12 treatments, 1 per month; if you cancel for any reason then you MUST pay 50% of unused contract. So, unless you have a crystal ball and can see into your future, that there is no doubt the unthinkable will not happen and you will absolutely be in your house for the next 12 months, forget it!! We also called another company on 2/24 and they were out by 9:00 a.m. the very next morning, does not require a contract because in their words, "we know you will be happy with our service and will continue with us if possible." In that company's words, "we don't need a contract -- our customers love us!" Contrast that with Classic taking your money for services not even provided if you have to move for whatever reason.
Description of Work: Estimate only.

Response from Classic Gardens & Landscape Inc
Member, I do apologize for any confusion about the time when we were to complete the estimate. Our Lawn Care department does not work on weekends. After we came out to your home and completed the estimate, we tried to contact you two times and were only able to leave messages. The contract is a one years contract. If you had given us the chance to discuss everything with you, then we may have been able to work something out with you to where you wouldn't be penalized for canceling before the contract was out. We have been able to do this with some of our other customers that were concerned they would not be at that home the next year. When you called in, you did mention that you found us on Angie's List. Our customers are our number one referral source. As you saw from our profile on Angie's List, we do have high customer satisfaction. Thank you for considering us to provide your lawn care services.

They came out and reviewed what we had to do. They were very nice and seemed to really know what they were doing. Unfortunately they were too expensive so that's why we didn't go through with it. I liked them, they were just too expensive for us, and I'm sure they wouldn't be for other people. They may be on par with price as everyone else but we don't know because after we got the estimate we decided not to go through with the job at all.

I began with Classic Gardens and Landscape this spring and have already seen major improvements in the look of my lawn. I had been with another company for years and had patches where grass did not grow and the overall color of the grass was not as green as it should be.. With this company, the grass is filling in these patchy areas, even with all this extreme weather, and the grass is the greenest in the neighborhood!
Description of Work: This company is currently performing my lawn fertilization and weed control. I began with them in the Spring of 2010. I have the most complete program they offer.

They do eight treatments a year. I called a couple of people but they have the highest rating on Angie?s List and it sounded like they had the best deal. It takes months for the results to show up but everything seems fine. I?m thinking about having them do some landscaping as well.

I used Classic Gardens for about 4 years. At first, their service killed the weeds and the grass was healthy. But later in their service, the weeds were not dying and the grass was not green. Classic Gardens uses organic treatments and I think they lost their punch or the weeds became unaffected by their treatment. Eventually, I became tired of paying them $80 per month to have weeds in my yard. For a monthly frequency and at that cost, my yard should have been spotless and it was not.

Response from Classic Gardens & Landscape Inc
I would like to reply to the above past customers complaint. He has several facts wrong. One is that we do not use organic treatments. This customer was constantlly late paying their bill. Several times they were put on financial hold and we could not treat any more until they caught up paying their bill. They missed some treatments because of being on financial hold. Because they missed some treatments the program could not work properly. This customer also got mad at us for trying to collect what they owed us. Up until that time they never registered a complaint about their lawn. Thank you.

Classic Gardens & Landscape has exceeded my expectations. They do a wonderful job and their technicians, including Trent, do a tremendous job. My lawn used to be overrun with armyworms and weeds...now it looks like a golf course.

The estimate was way high. It was almost double and he was going to do less. In this area, he is considered one of the good ones but he is very expensive. This is not a cheap process anyway to do everything. He was in the mid 30s. He was knowledgeable and understood what I wanted him to do. He would have probably done a great job, but we couldn't afford him. I would have used him but his estimate was so far out of line. His responsiveness was very good. They set an appointment and he was here on time. I liked everything else about him, but he was expensive. I would probably not use him again based on price alone. In the end, I went with another company.
Description of Work: Classic Gardens & Landscape gave an estimate on a total redo of landscaping. I wanted them to take everything out of my yard and start over with new grass, new trees, new bushes and everything.

They leveled off the back yard and did a great job. They also laid some sod and put up a few bushes. The price seemed pretty reasonable, they gave us a good rate. They were really good and quick. The sod and grass were both good and they brought plenty of people and equipment with them to get the job done.

We do believe we have the prettiest yard in the nieghborhood as a result! I would highly recommend them to anyone
Description of Work: Classic Gardens completely revived our lawn and landscape. We now have access to our corner lot as a beautiful natural area, rather than the overgrown, unusable land that it was before. They planted several different varieties of beautiful shrubbery, several different colors of knockout roses, hydrangeas, several large trees (magnolias, japanese maples, and oaks), laid sod, built keystone block retaining walls, and installed irrigation among other things. They have very creative designs and are friendly and easy to work with. .

We have employed them for the last year and the lawn has become twice as healthy looking. They arrive for the set appointments on time and usually finish in less an hour. If there is anything we need to talk about they have a very responsive customer service department to keep lines of communication open. We are very happy with they way they have dealt with us. They also spray insecticide on the foliage to rid our plants of destructive insects.

I really liked Classic Lawn they were very neat and professional. They didn't take long to do the job. They had great taste in the flowers they chose to plant for us. They clipped the weeds so good you never knew they were there. The cost was pretty low for all the work they did. It all really amazed me. I think they're great.

They did a good job and there weren't any weeds that I could see. They used a granular product and they always flagged my lawn to let me know they have been here. I asked them to blow my driveway off after they were done and they did a good job of that. I had pets but they said the product they used was pet safe. They answered all of my questions for me.
