Albright Landscaping Inc

We had Albright and a handful of other companies come out to quote us for re-sodding our backyard (over 6000 square feet). Ultimately, Albright was neither the least or most expensive but the sales guy was helpful and we also wanted some simple landscaping done as well and it was convenient because Albright also did landscaping and some of the other companies did not. Overall, we were very happy with the backyard and felt they had done a good, quality job when removing the old sod, preparing the area and then laying new sod. We had them come back out for a paver job and some front yard landscaping. Again the sales guy was helpful but when the job was actually completed we learned the landscaping he had suggested wasn’t really ideal as some of it died within days. I also found issues with the pavers. Matt, the owner, was very understanding when he and the guys came back out to our house to fix the job. He agreed the job had not been done to his standards and he went above and beyond to rectify the situation and make sure we were happy. Many other companies would have ignored our calls and not made an effort to come back to fix the work because they had already gotten payment. I feel confident that Matt genuinely cares to ensure quality and thorough work is done, that he cares about his customers, and their satisfaction with Albright’s work!

They gave me an estimate and arrived exactly when they said they would. the job was done quickly and efficiently. This was the third time I have used Albright and have recommended them to friends.

Planting of plants was ok, but the mulch turned out to be recyled instead of bagged. Unfortunately recycled includes not only mulch but other assorted trash--not the look I want in my landscape. They ran out of mulch before beds were complete although I could see a couple more wheel barrow fulls remaining in truck. They were in a hurry to get to next job. The only shrubbery trimmed was in the front and hedgers were used. Very disappointed. Don't believe verbal promises only what appears on estimate.

This is an update to my previous review. When they put the sun roses in the embankment that collects rain water I asked several times if the plants would survive when it rained and the embankment filled with water. I was told it would. I was also told that within about 6 weeks the plants would spread and I would not need to weed. Three months later, plants where getting dry rot from the rain. They were replaced. Still having to weed all time. July 2015 receiving lots of rain embankment is full of water. Embankment drains then more rain and more rain in Aug. I have been in touch with the company to come back when the rain stops. September after repeated calls I finally have someone come out. Agrees the plants are rotted. Says will put back Bahia grass at cost. With all the rain there was no Bahia until Sep. The first time it was to be replace he said they gave it away so he had to wait for more. Comes back and takes out plants and replaces with Bahia. Only able to savage about 6 plants out of about 90 I purchased. They only guarantee their plants for 3 months. Lowe's and Home Depot guarantee their plants for 1 year. I called around to see how much the Bahia was going to cost me. Prices ranged from $90 to $115 for a pallet, which is what I needed. After it was replace I was told it would cost $300. I informed them I know it cost at most $115, which I ended up paying as that it was agreed I would only pay for the cost of the grass. I paid over $800.00 for the original work with the plants and now another $115.00 to replace the Bahia they took out. I believed since this was their job and with their experience they knew what they were doing. They should have offered some time of refund for as much money as I spent. I wanted to give the young man an opportunity, but he still has a lot to learn. I recommended him to my neighbor and the plants he recommend to my neighbor died and the stepping stones he put in are now lope sided. would not hire this company again. They do not back up the work they do with a good guarantee. They should guarantee their plants and work for 1 year, especially with the rainy season. I did not want to give this review, but I felt they offered me no other choice, especially after I was told one price and then he tried to triple the price. I lost my trust in the company.

Kimberley came by on October 8th as requested and arrived on time at 10am. She walked with my Husband and I around our entire yard and we explained in detail everything we wanted done. She is very knowledgeable and very professional. She measured our yard and called and got prices for everything we requested and let us know that they had a job that was cancelled for the following day and asked if we were interested in having the work done then. Having dealt with 2 other Landscaping companies and the time delays we had with them I jumped at the opportunity! The price was right, the knowledge was there, so we said sure! We were told the guys we be out between 7:30 and 8:00 am and when I woke up at 7:45 they were out front getting started. Every single thing I asked for was done, and it was done perfectly!!! Above and beyond what I expected and I am a VERY picky person when it comes to my yard. Dan, his 2 Sons and the other guys were very polite and professional and completed the work in a very timely manner. I would HIGHLY recommend Albright Landscaping! (Just a side note......I had sent an e-mail on Sunday afternoon and Lisa got back to me within less than an hour. This to me says a ton about running a business.) Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Albright and my Husband and we will surely use your business again in the future!!!

Overall, went well. Tried to address concerns as came up. Was not pleased on first day when learned sales person had not shown us the right sample boarders and had to make a choice of material we did not plan on. We are pleased with the look. Someone did not secure a sprinkler system valve and it was left on for over one day. Very responsive to our call once we identified and could not get it to shut off. We wanted to have pavers installed but $22,000 was a little more then we planned on. Because of reassurrances of how good the front driveway and walkpath would look, we went with pressure cleaning and sealing them. I wish we had not done that as too many imperfections showed up and although the driveway looks brighter the walkpath has a lot of unattractive marks in it and discoloration. For additional money they could paint the area or install pavers. We haven't decided what we will do. We are very happy with the landscaping, the sprinkler system and the pressure cleaning of our deck and dock.

Very knowledgable and experienced. Started work less than a week later. Had a big crew of workers on hand whom collaborated well and got the job done in three days. Workers were punctual and cleaned up well. Amazing transformation. Somewhat pricey, but landscaping isn't cheap or easy. They put a lot of pride in their work.

Dan and his staff were on time, friendly and professional. They did a wonderful job of doing my front yard with gravel and simple maintenance free plants. Clean up of side yard too. I see a future project.

We are EXTREMELY happy with the results. Albright staff were professional, prompt, courteous. They took an amazing pride in their work, returning to ensure all everything they planted was thriving (which it is). I'm thrilled with my new garden path, patio, grass, and ground cover. We replaced some of our grass with ground cover as we have a dog that had destroyed part of the yard by running through it. I asked them to build a cage around the new plants to protect them from the dog while the ground cover takes root. They did this with no issues. They did all of the above work when we were out of the country. No one needed to supervise their work or had to fuss at them about timeliness. They showed up on time, did their job very well. They weren't the cheapest landscapers I've had give me a quote, but they were far from the most expensive. I would say their rates were very competitive for the work we had done. I will be using them to re-landscape my mother's property next.

Our experience was excellent. We were referred by another Angie's List provider who suggested we contact them, I did a Google search and found their website and completed the contact us page on the site early on a Monday morning. I was called a little while later that same day and arranged an appointment for at the end of the day that same Monday. Dan (the owner) came to the house to meet me to go over the job. We discussed everything that we wanted removed and provided him a fairly flushed out plan of what we had in mind. We knew what plants and palm trees we wanted and where the beds and plants would be placed, we even provided them a plan that we had mocked up to show him our ideas. Dan took about 30 minutes taking measurements, reviewing our plan, and drew up a full itemized estimate right there on the spot. My wife and I reviewed the proposal, did some on-line research as to the price of the plants, etc. and the next day contacted them saying we wanted to go forward with the work. We were told the job would take about 2 days. This surprised us, the other two companies we contacted said the removal aspect would take several days, possibly longer than a week, because they had a small crew and would need to service their existing customers. We were also surprised because the line item for removing all of our existing landscaping was $2800, the others we talked to quoted as much as $3600. Albright said the like to stay on one job from start to finish. During the call to say we wanted to go forward Dan asked, "well great, how's Thursday?" I answered, "the day after tomorrow Thursday?" He said, "yeah." The crew was at the house on Thursday morning right on time, two trucks, about 8 or so crew members, and all the tools they needed to completely demo the existing landscape and the new plants and palms. Our original landscaping was planted 18 years ago, by 2pm that afternoon it was completely gone and hauled away. Our existing irrigation system was repaired and retrofitted to the new plans needs. At the end of the day, the crew cleaned up everything before leaving home for the evening, blowing off all the sidewalks and taking every bit of debris from that day's work. They were right back at it on Friday and began with planting the new plants, palm trees and bamboo screening. By 3pm the entire job was complete. Beds were planted, mulch was laid, new sod was placed. They even pressure washed the sidewalks and driveway. We were very pleased with our experience and would highly recommend Albright to our neighbors and other Angie's List Members.

Dan and team were fantastic today. Dan and I spoke a couple of times in person earlier and the week and the team was out to do the job right away. I am extremely happy with the results, and even though two sprinkler lines were broken during the process, the Albright team fixed them right away without extra cost before I even got home I am looking forward to working with Albright for all my landscaping needs, and barring any issues with the system, I would recommend them to everyone in the Tampa Bay area who needs a quality company who won't cut corners and who cares about the customer first.

Have not had work done yet.

Called them in February 2013. Don't remember the exact date. Showed up at the first interview and never heard from them again. Showed up in an old beat up truck and said that their truck was in the shop. But they didn't appear very professional. Seemed to be knowledgable about plants and landscaping. When they left they gave me a sheet of plants to look up and email which ones I liked. I did that that same night and and never heard from them ever again.

They were okay, I thought they were expensive. They still had a few issues after they were done. The sprinklers weren't working right and the lights were having a few issues. It is all taken care of now. It was kind of pricey.

Craig called back and said he had a crew who could take care of it that very afternoon. So his crew of four men showed up and the job was complete in I think an hour and a half. I was done efficiently and neatly. I was not a member of Angie's List in 2004, but the drain was put in during those heavy hurricane years and I have not been sorry. It is doing the job.

The showed on time as promised and started work promply at 8am. They had a crew of 5 men which made the job go much smoother and rapidly. They did everything they promised finally ending around 3PM in the afternoon. The whole yard looked great after they completed their work.

Quick response to phone call On time for appointment for plan and estimate Ran a little late to start work because they were finishing up another job delayed by rain - called before they were supposed to be here to let me know what was going on - this was not a problem for me and appreciated the heads up. Finished the work in less than a day. Prompt, professional, friendly Would definitely recommend Albright and plan to have them back to do some work.

We did not use them in the end. It was not our choice. It was a drainage issue that the homeowners' association where we live was supposed to take care of but they weren't doing it. We got him to give us an estimate because we were going to have to do it, but then the association did the work. We liked him but it wound up not being our decision. I am not educated enough to know if his prices were good, but he did very well. The estimate was for $6000.00 or $7000.00 which my guess is high. He was very responsive. He showed up when he said he was going to. He explained stuff well. He did seem okay, but he seemed expensive. I don't have a whole lot to compare it to. He seemed professional. He came on time. He was very good for the estimate experience. He was more professional than some of the other people we talked to.

The design and installation went well. Several months after it had been completed I was having difficulty mowing the grass, which was thriving, because the sod was very bumpy. My mower is a Toro Personal Pace mulching mower that moves at whatever pace I walk, and the sod's unevenness made it more difficult to set an appropriate pace. I even went to a good lawn mower store in Largo and examined mowers that might be more powerful to cope with the sod. The salesman persuaded me that I did not need to replace my Toro, that it was a matter of having the sod rolled. I asked Albright to do so and the original salesman returned a phone call saying he had installed hundreds of sodded yards and never had to roll one and besides it was too late to do so. It all would even out, he said. I asked him nonetheless to stop and examine my sod and tell me why it had not evened out, why my Toro and I were having so bumpy a time. He promised to stop, look and consult with me. That was about two months ago, and if he ever came by he did not bother to consult with us. The sod remains bumpy. The Albright prices seemed high but the installation was good. I'm disappointed in the failure to follow up. UPDATE: Another month has gone by and the sod remains bumpy. No one from Albright Landscaping has contacted us.

We were completely satisfied with their work. They were in no way pushy. The price was reasonable.

We have had many landscapers on our big yard, but Albright is the only one I'd call again. They are not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. No one could solve the problem that every single plant on our yard was dying about a month before our daughter's wedding. Finally, Mike from Albright took a water sample over to the Extension Office and found out that salt water had invaded our well. We switched over to city water and within a week all the plants started to repair themselves. He got his team out to replace the plants which would not survive and everything worked out great.

Very professional company, good to deal with, great products, and knowledgeable staff. They are a bit on the expensive side, but they get the job done RIGHT.

Mike Baker arrived on time and was extremely knowledgeable and personable. Our new home has a very large yard, and Mike was excellent at suggesting trees, shrubs, plants and ground cover which would be appropriate for the conditions in the various areas. He was also helpful in identifying several existing shrubs and plants we weren't familiar with and made recommendations in how to maintain them in optimum health. Mike came up with outstanding, creative ideas, utilizing lots of beautiful, drought-tolerant plants and shrubs. We will definitely contract with this company when we are ready to begin our landscaping project, and I'll be sure to file a follow-up report.

Tricia was real nice and had some good ideas. I did not want to spend $400 on mulch, but to do it right, $400 was needed. I thought the mulch would be 4 inches high and it was in some places. Some mulch was spread thinly and in one certain place no mulch was left. That is because I told them to not plant any ground cover in that place, because I was going to plant other plants in that area. However, I didn't know that they would not leave any mulch. My goodness, $400 for mulch and to have a bare space? Also, one of the crew members took his shirt off and wore those baggy pants so that people could see his underwear. Not very professional in my opinion. I called Tricia to advise her that I was not happy so that she would know I was unhappy. So much for their 100% customer satisfaction! I will NOT use their services again.

ALBRIGHT REP CAME TO SEE SPA, DIDN'T HAVE ANY IDEAS, SAID SEVERAL TIMES IT WAS A ''WEIRD SETUP'' THAT ''DIDN'T INSPIRE'' HIM. WE FINALLY DECIDED ON A POND TO REPLACE THE SPA. THE IDEAS OF WHAT THIS WOULD LOOK LIKE CAME FROM ME, NOT HIM. HE SAID HE WOULD CONSULT THE OWNER, MR. ALBRIGHT, AND CALL ME BACK WITH A PRICE AND FURTHER IDEAS AND THAT WE COULD GO LOOK AT POND INSTALLATIONS. I NEVER HEARD FROM HIM.
