WINE LANDSCAPING

.

The job was done satisfactorily by 3 workers supervised by Ron Wine who dropped by on most days. The results followed the draft and cost did not exceed my budget by much. The workers were efficient and professional. There was no liability for relocated existing plants and bushes. This is standard. However, three new plants died within 3 month's time. Two calls were made to Mr. Wine by myself. I was not impressed by his rudeness at the fact that he did not acknowledge that it was me, his client of less than 3 months, who was calling him. He simply quipped that he would send someone out to replace my dead plants, no one showed up to honor the 100% guarantee on newly planted material. He demonstrated unprofessionalism over the phone and did not follow through with my request. I would not use him again or recommend him to anyone. Once work was done and the check received, he became unreliable.

During the majority of the project, there was no supervision by Ron Wine or his asst., William France. There was delay due to rain which was understandable. However, on initial completion, Mr. France was due to go out of town and we had to wait several days for him to come back before discussing what was left unfinished. There had been no cleanup on job performed. Workers had mixed the quickcrete like substance on my driveway in front of garage and had not cleaned it up, which to this day still has stained permanently, had left debris in yard, etc. The retaining wall was complete, but some type of landscaping still must be done. There is still standing water in the yard in the areas that I had addressed to Ron Wine's company in the beginning in addition to the area between patio and septic system. This area was not graded as discussed and is covered with black plastic for now with the intention of a future flowerbed. My impression is company is unprofessional and just wanted the bucks!

Personally, I was very pleased with Ron Wine. They did a very good job, and I would hire them again if I needed to in the future. I felt that their work ethic was very impressive, and I felt that I got my money's worth out of the work that they did.

Wine Landscaping did a great job of planting our new flowers. They look very nice, and we have only had one die. I don't think we would change anything about how they planted the flowers, but we probably would change the kind of flowers we chose.
