INLAND LANDSCAPE AND IRRIGATION

Inland Landscape did an excellent job. I spoke to him on the phone and he was able to come by for an estimate the following day. Richard and his crew were prompt and professional. It was a relatively small job. We wanted concrete poured on a side yard so that we could put storage sheds there. Richard's crew arrived on time and did what they said they were going to do. I first talked to Richard on Thursday and the job was complete on the following Wednesday. I would recommend Richard and his crew.

Exceptional work on the whole landscaping project! I would employ Richard's services in a heart-beat for any landscaping or landscaping-related work that needs to be done. Richard is our go-to guy for all of that work and, frankly, he should be yours too. I have had lots of experiences with landscape contractors over the years, and Richard was exceptional and stands out as a model for how it should be done. All of that, and Richard is reasonable and fair on the pricing of his services. Really, is there anything more you could ask for? I cannot think of a thing. So, obviously, my wife and I are very satisfied customers!

Called these guys three times to get a quote. They call me back once, told me they would be available on Wednesday. I called and left a message to arrange a time, and they never got back to me. I guess these guys don't like to actually give someone a quote for work unless they know they can get some big bucks out of the client. Too bad for them. I was set to spend about 3k on my backyard, and now, I'll find someone else to do the job.

Richard Durbin is a contractor who understands the importance of attention to detail. All along the way he made sure everything was correct from measurements, to plant choices,to color choices, etc. He communicated all decisions and plans, including the days the crew would be here and when they would not. His crew is also extremely professional and polite. They were respectful of me, and the property. At the end of each day my property was left clean and neat, with everything washed down. They even delivered my mail to me. Richard has an excellent sense of design so I was able to trust his judgement from the color choices to what plants to pick. Of course he was sure I was comfortable with it all. He was on-site every day. This project was completed in five days.

Inland Landscape did not respond at all to my solicitation.

The job went smoothly. I could have saved some costs if I had had the time to do more and inland landscape would have worked with me on that. Unfortunately I didn't have that time and had to have them do more. I'm sure they would work with anyone that wished to do more of the work themselves and that would proportionately reduce the inital costs. Their estimate for the costs of my project was lower than what I eventially paid, but that was my fault for adding things at different stages.

Inland Landscaping returned my phone messages, scheduled an estimate, and was punctual and professional.

So far Rich has been extremely responsive in phone calls. He was very professional in listening to what we really wanted and giving us suggestions to help us. He follows up quickly and makes sure that he text/calls to confirm.

Rich Durbin is fabulous to work with, very professional, welcomes new ideas and works with you to help create the unique look you want instead of a look that mimics everybody else. I plan to work with him again with my future projects.

They were really nice guys. I wish I could use his serice but his price was really high. That was my only complaint, he was really good.

I think I spend about $250 a month on their services. They do a great job. I’m very happy with them. I hired them because of the service and the price. Everything is fine and I’m happy with them. I will use them again in the future.

waited almost week to just get a quote would not even respond to my messages and return my call on first day i called said he would have a quote at the end of the day 4 days later and countless messages from me still no response and to think he is the highest rated on angie's list what a scam still have not received a courtesy call telling me when he would be able to give me an estimate

Dave at Inland Landscaping was initially very professional on the phone and in email. He came out to my property to take a look and provide an estimate for the work I needed done. Several of the prices he quoted seemed very high. But, after spending about an hour looking around my property and taking notes, he said he would send me a detailed bid in email, and then he never got back to me. It ended up being a waste of a day for me, planning my schedule around being available to meet him. I was very disappointed. He clearly didn't want the job but didn't have the courtesy to tell me.

It went very well. The group came in and completed the job efficiently and it looked great. The contractor and his employees were easy to talk to and cleaned up after themselves after the work was done. It was probably the best experience with a contractor that I have ever had.

First and foremost - huge thanks to Angie's list for providing this forum so that my husband and I could make an informed decision. One of the reasons we had put this project off was because we didn't even know where to start looking for a contractor who could perform the services we needed. We met with several landscape groups and based on these first estimate meetings, Rich Durbin and his team stood far out above the others. I knew that I wanted planters in the backyard, I knew I needed landscaping, but other than that didn't have a creative idea in my head. what made Rich stand out above the others initially was that he came to me with ideas. He understood my high level requirements but then he went on to develop a beautiful backyard plan that would not only make me happy in an aesthetic way but would also ensure that my backyard was done with the proper leveling, drainage, etc. so that we we would not ever run the risk of water damage, etc. The other groups that I talked with would have given me exactly what I asked for, but honestly, I didn't know what I was asking for. Rich was able to turn my vision into a plan. Rich was also extremely price sensitive - keeping my budget in mind, he provided high quality workmanship and materials. I also appreciated the fact that he gave me options. It was always me, asking for upgrades - he never approached me with the highest cost of doing things initially. He gave me choices and helped me understand where I could save money if needed. His team was prompt, courteous and always arrived when they said they would. Everyday they cleaned up their work area. I need to point out what we truly appreciated about Rich. His integrity is unparalleled. We were so completely out of our comfort zone in terms of working with contractors. Rich is an honest man and has ethics and integrity in all that he does. While his produced product (i.e. my backyard and front walkway) look amazing, it was his integrity and honesty that we truly valued. He believes in doing things the right way and we always felt as though we could completely trust his guidance and advice. We now have a beautiful backyard, complete with a dog run for my 2 dogs. We also have a beautiful front walkway that keeps me from walking in the wet grass every morning. I would without ANY hesitation recommend Rich and his team for any projects. In addition, I will no longer ever be using Angies list to look for a landscape contractor (sorry Angie!). I don't have the need as I will always turn to Rich if ever needing to have any additional work done. I must say, that while my family is excited to have our beautiful backyard, we will miss seeing Rich around the property. How often can you say that about a contractor?

I had called 7 contractors and only 3 called me back. He returned my call within 2 hours.This contractor said that he was very efficient at his job and would love the opportunity to do the work. He said he would be at my home at 9:30 the next morning and he was there at 9:30 am. He looked over the problem and got right to work. Within I would say about 30 minutes he had the water shut off and the hole dug. He had the break in my sprinkler line fixed and the new shutoff valve in place with in the next hour. I have lots of plants all around both of the areas that he was working on and he didn't damage a one of them! He recovered the hole he dug and put my bark back in place. He cleanup and washed down my walkway and steps were the break had occurred. You can't even tell he had been in the area after he was done. He asked if there was anything else that I had that needed to be done. I told him that my sprinkler valve to the back yard leaked and wanted to know what he thought about it. He showed me how to adjust the valve so that it didn't leak. This is important because he could have just said to replace it, but instead he said the valve was fine, it just needed a little tweaking. That simple action sold me on this contractor! I believe this shows his honesty and his integrity. I will use him again and I will tell all of my friends about him.

as noted above a good try by this contractor to explain himself but he doesn't address the issue WHY HE NEVER CONTACTED ME TO TELL ME OF THIS. THIS IS A CONTRACTOR WITH NO ETHICS ONLY TRYING TO AVOID DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE. HE NEVER MADE ANY FURTHER EFFORT TO TELL ME OF HIS BELIEF OR FEELINGS. HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO MADE NO EFFORT. OBVIOUSLY HE DIDN'T WANT THE WORK BUT IT IS EXTREMELY POOR PRACTICE TO NEVER CALL AND ADVISE ME OF HIS CONCERN AFTER PROMISING HE WOULD GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE!!! BEING ON THIS LIST CERTAINLY DOESN'T ENSURE THIS CONTRACTOR WILL DEMONSTRATE GOOD BUSINESS PRACTICES FOR A JOB HE DOESN'T WANT. SO MUCH FOR 22 YEARS IN BUSINESS

Rich was prompt in responding to my request for a quote. He drew up a landscaping plan with the new walkway and plants and a waterfall shown for future work. His crew started promptly and were always timely. They only broke for a short lunch and cleaned up after themselves thoroughly. They were very friendly and thoughtful. I've had excellent service from Inland Landscape and will give them first shot at any future work.

Wonderful experience. Unlike most contractors we interacted with, Richard was honest, reliable and professional. If we ever need any landscaping work again in the future, I'll definitely be giving Richard a call.

Rich and his crew were excellent throughout. He listened to what we wanted, made professional suggestions, and provided us with complete estimates of the work. He and his crew were always punctual, kept us informed as the project progressed, and finished on time and on budget. Rich also followed up to make sure there were no problems and that we were satisfied. I would recommend his services to anyone, and in fact, a few of our neighbors also hired Rich and his crew for their own projects.

I was so pleased with the work Richard did in the backyard, I asked him to help me create something interesting for my front patio. We had fun brainstorming ideas as Richard translated my 'feelings' about a front garden patio into something eye catching and joyful. As before, his work is meticulous and he has an eye for pulling all the pieces together into a cohesive finish. It was a struggle to complete the work as it rained on and off during the whole process. Richard and his crew worked diligently to get the job done, sometimes bringing in a pool pump to drain water and working in the rain until it became too much. I often see neighbors stop out front to view his work and occassionally stand at the sidewalk myself to admire my new front garden patio.

It went very smoothly, no problems. The lighting system in particular was beautiful, and the landscaping stones made the yard look unique.

Richard worked with me to design a new patio area that would upgrade the existing backyard. This work was done in conjunction with another project to re-stucco my house. Richard worked with me to coordinate his project along with the other and was flexible in scheduling when the other project didn't go as planned. At one point, I asked him to come out right away to remove some landscaping to accommodate the stucco contractor and he jumped right on it (which I really appreciated). He had the 'vision' about how the stamped concrete would look and it came out more beautifully than I anticipated. I've received many compliments on the new patio and more than one person has commented on the excellent quality of the work. I'm extremely happy with the outcome.

Rich's leadership and organization kept the project going smoothly. His crews were very professional and the work was very high quality. Rich always communicated to us what was going to happen next, and he made the process go very smoothly.

As the designer, I was kept in the loop by Inland Landscape, and responded almost daily to field issues that needed to be resolved. Rich Durbin (the Inland Landscape owner) communicated very well with me, and with the property owner regarding his progress, and field changes that needed to be made when unanticipated conditions were encountered.
