NATURAL LANDSCAPING & DESIGN

Description of Work: Removed old landscaping rocks and tree roots.

Description of Work: Estimate for landscaping.

Description of Work: Sprinkler install.

Description of Work: Provider was responsive in returning my call. He arrived at the appointed time however he was not very helpful in assisting with ideas for possible designs for landscaping. It turned out to be a waste of time.

Description of Work: They were very professional and submiited a great, and very detailed plan. Unfortunately their quote was about 1/3 more than the other 2 quotes I received.

Description of Work: Weekly lawn cutting and shutting down sprinkler system for winter. Will have more work done next year.

Description of Work: No services were performed. I submitted three requests via Angie's list to this Landscaper but they never responded. I provided cell phone numbers, home telephone numbers, and my home email address but I guess they are too busy to reply. I can understand if someone does not want the job or is simply too busy but to be non-responsive isn't acceptable. Disappointing because it appears that they do very nice work - at least according to the posted photos..

Description of Work: His crew came in and trimmed all my tree's and bushes. Cleaned out the old wood chips and fabric and put in all new fabric and wood chips. Sculptured the lawn and put in metal around the lawn, and put in more wood chips.

Description of Work: Nguyen Ho (Henry) of Natural Landscape Design (NLD), assured me that all of his crew are in the country legally, which was a concern of mine. I wanted a job done, but I wanted my money to go to Americans, or those legally in America. We replaced our entire back yard lawn (about 1700sq ft) and added a ring around our tree. The lawn estimate alone was about $2400. The tree ring is 48 inches from the blocks to the tree. I don't know if this is accurately described as masonry work, but working with concrete blocks is masonry work in my estimation. Henry performed other chores as well at no additional charge. Henry arrived on time and provided me with a very reasonable estimate. I needed to get some other estimates but none were even close to Henry’s. He and his crew arrived on a Saturday and worked about 10 hours. One gentleman worked on the 3 block high tree ring while the others worked on removing the old lawn. They returned on Monday to prepare the surface and check out the sprinkler system for any damage. They replaced any bad heads and made sure the heads all worked prior to laying down the new sod. When I arrived in the afternoon Henry advised me that the tree ring was not properly laid out and he had already redone it himself. Henry wanted the ring built differently and added more sand and blocks to create a better base surface. Also, the lower side got an additional partial layer of blocks. The end result was 4 layers of the blocks on the lower part of the ring and only 3 layers of blocks on the up-hill side. (The original estimate was to have only 3 layers of blocks.) The end result is much better looking. On the inside area of the ring we had him place several inches of dirt, a growth barrier, and topped it off with river rock. We had asked for a separate estimate on the ring, in case we felt it was too much for our budget. The ring estimate as described was $1100. Although there is no mortar between the blocks, the design and execution of the layout makes us feel it is masonry work regardless. The actual sod arrived on a Wednesday and was laid down then as well. A final check with the sprinklers showed one area that needed a sprinkler head added that had not been noticed earlier. Henry was expected at another site so he could not add the head himself at this time. I decided to do this the following day by myself. Not having the time to add the extra head is the only negative part of the work they performed. I can’t complain though as I asked him how much to replace a short, rotted landscape log along the grass edge with another one I had lying nearby. He said no extra charge and even drilled the log and drove some cut-up rebar as spikes to hold it in position. An added bonus was clearing out a substantial pile of old leaves I missed last year at no charge. We would definitely use NLD for any future yard work. The entire crew worked very hard and tried their best to do a superior job.
