We worked together with the member had a very pleasant half-day renovating his retaining wall and some of the plantings. I look forward to working together in the future-- the goal of the Angie's System!

Response from New Dawn Gardens
This project involved clearing/restoring a large neglected sidelot filled with weeds, vines, saplings AND poison ivy. End goal: install a lawn for family use. Members admitted our proposal was twice the quote from some other companies who offered to spray with herbicide and till/plow, followed by straight seeding. Member offered us the project but for half our bid, based on philosophical and environmental ideals we both hold. Since the initial brush clearing, weeding andsoil improvement two seasons pasted and when the weather stabilized enough to seed, we discovered numerous patches of select plantings like Ginger and Virginia Bluebells which would have destroyed by the conventional spraying and tilling. Current status: follow-up seeding and transplanting valuable native plants. Member was invoiced for balance of project 2 months ago and we're awaiting contact/payment Out over 100 reviews, this is by far the hardest-earned B we've ever received but we maintain our commiment to the project and preserving native plants from needless destruction.

I'm happy to see tis clarifaction We worked for the member previously and everyone was happy with the results. This (2014) past season another outfit provided a different level of service, resulting in a negative review, which was listed on our account. I look forward to working with the member and we have set up a program with them

Why does Angie's SELL A DEAL TO A MEMBER OUTSIDE THE STATED SERVICE AREA? Then members get pissed and submit negative reviews that impact our grade! Please remove this review ans stop selling Deals we can't honor without charging travel time that far excedes the value of the Deal

We are working with Angie's to clarify the service area. When travel time/ crew payroll exceds the value of Deal, it creates a net loss; if the project justifies and the member is willing to cover travel time, we're happy to provide service

Description of Work: Richard is a sincere man with a great sense of humor with a lot of experience in the plant business. He provided several excellent tips what would be doable in our garden. I wish I could give him A but we were not happy with the amount of work provided during 2 hours, involving 4 men. Three smaller trees (2 dogwood trees and another that I don't know the name of) were gently trimmed and the ivy was pulled back from the path we had in our garden. A day before, I pulled and cut the ivy from the rest of the pathway and know how quickly this can be done. Quality of work was good but the amount of work done was unreasonably low. The bushes were not removed and the evergreen hedge was not reduced as it was discussed in our initial meeting. They started working on the rock garden which should have been worked on after cleaning of the garden. This was project for itself because it would require work for at least a couple of hours to look nicely. This was of course left unfinished and strangely looking with some dirt that was dug around and some random placed rocks. Unfortunately, we won't be using this provider in the future but certainly will recommend Richard for his knowledge and expertise in horticulture.

Description of Work: We purchased four man hours of landscaping for $292 plus $180 for mulch. I had asked (via email) for a price on the mulch in advance, but was not given price until day of work: $6 per each 2 cubic ft bag of cedar mulch - which, I think, is high. Yard looked very nice upon completion! | |I have a very flexible schedule, and was able to arrange a date for service with some persistence, but I do think that it might be more challenging for those with limited time, e.g., in response to my three proposed dates - two of which were more than two weeks out, company owner told me that they were currently scheduling 2 wks out, period. When I pointed out that two of my dates were more than 2 weeks out, he said, on April 6, that he would do what he could to schedule one of those dates. On Apr 17 owner emailed to say that he could do the work on Apr 23 − 1 day before requested apr 24 date. It so happened that this day worked for my schedule. | |If customer has very specific needs, this deal may not work so well. If you want general yard clean up, trimming, mulching, and your schedule is flexible it is a good deal. Of course, you can always ask for refund if you can't work out the schedule. I would suggest you confirm mulch price, however.

We are currently restructuring our service due loss of revenue caused by travel time to small scale jobs We make every effort to price materials close to clients locations so we done haul supplies long distances Scheduling of sites far apart presents an economic challenge. We try very hard to meet clients needs, schedule and match job size with other local clients

He said he wouldn’t get to it right away. I was fine with that. He told me that he would email me in the next couple of days all the things we talked about. It’s been a month and I haven’t heard form him. I’ve asked Angie’s List to follow up with him. He then came by and we talked again and he and his helper spent about 1/2 hour working on bushes before it got too dark. We talked about the fact that it was now too late in the year to mulch and not to bother removing a bush. Since I'm in no rush I understand why I'm not on the top of his list!. I just wish he'd finish the trimming of the bushes!
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for landscape clean-up. He came out to review my project and about a month later had a few minutes while in the area to get started. I have faith that he'll return to finish the job!

Year to year our garden has not only been beautifully maintained but has also been improved by Mr. Miller and his team.
Description of Work: Richard Miller has been working with us for five years. We have a complex garden with many specimen plants and trees. Richard has a depth of knowledge rare in this business and has managed the maintenance, fertilization, replanting, pruning and occasional replacement of plantings with expert care. He and his team work on our yard and garden every one or two weeks from March through December, depending on weather conditions. The cost I quote is a per week estimate, assuming 4 visits per month. It includes all the services itemized in the first paragraph.

This is an ongoing relationship for the last 5 years. There's a combination of maintenance and new work all the time. My yard has 50 trees so they are always in need of work. I compost on the property so we make our own soil amendments. We are now in the process of converting an old swimming pool into a sculpture garden. We creatively work out all of the details.
Description of Work: He has landscaped and hard scaped my front and back yard which is quite large. His knowledge of plants and trees is amazing and he has a very practical design sense. His prices are fair and he and his workers are courteous and reliable. I have recommended him to many people. I own the Zenith Gallery and work with a lot of outdoor sculptors, he is able to help incorporate the art into his design. Richard knows how to use recycled materials which helps saves the clients money and looks terrific. My neighbors always stop in front of my house and appreciate the landscaping and the art.

He is fast, professional, reliable, and timely. I don?t think he has ever been late for an appointment.
Description of Work: We have known about them for a few years. The owner does all of the work himself. He is a definitely go getter. He pulled out a note pad and sketched a drawling of the entire property of ideas and suggestions.
