We used another company that was rated "A" last year on angies list. Really not happy with the results...so we found General Landscaping, and we are SOOOO happy we did. We spent, with the OTHER "A" company last year over $75,000 dollars. We are NOT happy with that company. HOWEVER, General Landscaping is and was WONDERFUL. We replaced 50% of the plants, etc. by the OTHER "A" rated company, for many reasons including plants dying, not right for area, etc. General Landscaping came to the rescue...replacing the 50%, adding additional landscaping, etc. I DO NOT understand their "B" rating, which is NOT acceptable or correct. They should be A++. The owner, which we were never told he was on site (except by his workers) worked hand in hand alongside his employees. Their employees were professional, hard working and GREAT; which we did not find with the "A" rated company. We would NOT HESITATE to recommend General Landscaping for professionalism, PRICE (Half the "A" other company), and their workers!!! Love this Company!!!
Description of Work: Hugh RE-landscaping... Please note...RE is the operative word.

All efforts to get this work done have been on my part. Each time I email Jarred I'm told ASAP.
Description of Work: Not a thing. Came out on 4/27/2015 and said they would do the work. Presented a proposal and I accepted. Stated they would schedule the work and get back to me ASAP. Contacted them on 5/10/2015 asking when they would start the work. Was told they would get back to me ASAP. Contacted them again on 5/26 asking when the job would start. Was told next week for sure if not sooner. Still not started and no word from them.

Called for a quote and they had a person out in a couple of days to review the work I wanted done. They provided me with a written quote shortly and after accepting the quote we scheduled the timing of the work. I was not present when most of the work was actually done but was very happy with the result. The grading of the yard, planting of grass and placement of the shrubs was exactly as I had wanted and I would not change anything.
Description of Work: Grind two large tree stumps and remove chips and debris. Supply top soil and grade and rake area to blend with existing lawn and seed area. Install thirteen 5-6ft Green Giant Arborvitae and mulch around each shrub.

I have been using General Landscaping for about 3 years. I would recommend them in a minute. We use them to maintain our grounds, they edge around the driveway nad beds, trim shrubs, remove weeds, mulch every other year, remove dead branches and general cleanup of all beds. The grounds look prestine when they leave. They work fast, never seen them take a break, workers are friendly and easy to talk to. I mostly correspond via email, with any special requests I might have therefore I do not have to be home when they come. They come when they say, very reliable. Their billing shows the breakdown of their charges and their prices are competetive. Very professional. Other than general maintenance I cannot comment.
Description of Work: General grounds maintenance - edging, trimming shrubs, removing weeds and general cleanup of beds.

For removing the fallen branches, they quoted me $1600, but charged me only $1400 because the job did not cost as much as they thought it would. The workers worked very hard and followed all the proper safety procedures.
Description of Work: They cut up trees, removed fallen trees, chipped the branches that fallen, and also did some landscaping work for us by backfilling the curbing on the driveway.
