White Shovel Is a professional residential Design and Installation company, serving North Alabama.

This in depth visual design process connects with you visually, allowing you to see a variety of angles you would never see in a normal design process. Things like "how will your plants look in 5 years, or what will your blooming shrubs look like against the color of your shutters, and what will a tree do for the balance of your home when installed, all this and much more".

Description of Work: It went well. I received the consultation and did value their input. They use this as a way of finding and bidding new jobs and at the moment I'm not in the market for a large landscaping package.

Description of Work: White Shovel re-mulched existing flower beds around the entire house and reconditioned soil and laid sod where there was difficulty growing grass before due to minimal sun light. The work crew showed up at the appointed time and efficiently performed the work. Very courteous and professional. I have an appointment with them today at another property to contract for additional work. White Shovel is excellent to work with and I highly recommend them.

Response from White Shovel Landscapes
I understand that using Angie's List message center can be difficult, it is what Angie's list forces it's service providers to use. A message was sent through the message center immediately following your purchase. I wish that we were able to reach out and directly contact you, however Angie's list in order to ensure that you were being contacted on time, forced all it's service providers to contact through the message center. If you will only take a minute to go to your message center, you will find a message showing everything you needed to do to take advantage of the offer. I am sorry to see this review post before you knew this information. However we do not hold you responsible, and would still like to do business with you. And to all who are reading this, please take the time to review your messages before posting negative reviews, service providers work hard to care for clients in a huge way, and to take care of their families as well, please don't take your reviews lightly, they are the reputation of our businesses. :) Happy holidays From White Shovel

Description of Work: Back in May I placed an order for landscaping ideas/ pictures for my home. The guy arrived approx. 15 minutes late the day he came to take pictures of my home and claimed it was because he went to my next door neighbor's home. Both of our homes have clear numbers on the houses and mailboxes. We had a 1:30 pm appointment time today to review his ideas/ pictures. At 1:45 pm, I called the company to find out where they were. I was told that the guy coming to my house (I believe his name is Mike) was running late due to a project in Athens, Al. He also claimed he tried to contact me to inform me he would not be at my home at 1:30 pm. They only had my cell phone number for contact information and there were no messages on my phone. I was asked to reschedule at 3:00 pm. Approx. 3:10 pm I received a phone call telling me that he double booked himself and could not make it and he wanted to reschedule for next week. I have spent my entire afternoon waiting on this guy to show up to find out he isn't coming. What really upset me was the lack of concern for wasting my time. Also, I don't understand why he didn't realize he double booked himself until well after our 3:00 pm rescheduled appointment. This company is extremely unprofessional and I would not recommend them to anyone.

Description of Work: This is the second offer I have opted for from Angie's List that did not pan out. I asked the landscaper if they serviced my area at the getgo, and he said yes. I had errands to run in town, broke my neck to make it home for our appointment only to have a message from White Shovel that "we don't service your area". I expect a total refund asap, and Angie's List can kiss my a**.

This review is correct, sometimes members are out of the service area, even though we try so hard to prevent this from happening. And it can be very frustrating for members on both sides. I wish you best!
