Description of Work: Jim and his assistant installed two vinyl gates and a section of fence that was missing. They were very professional, kept us informed of what would be done and when, and charged us exactly what was quoted. We will have him back for landscaping in the back yard.

Response from Second Nature Landscaping
thank you [member name removed] for your review. This job was very labor intensive working in the raining season everything turn to mud as I thought it would once the sod was remove. we dug in mud for days a trench about 300 feet long and 24 inches deep about 16 to 18 foot wide. then installed drains and sodded took about 10 to 11 days this is why the price was so high and I gave a warranty it would work some time there is just no way around a price thanks for reading this. Jim with second nature

Description of Work: Jim and his crew removed (2) old hedges and old grass in our back yard. They replaced it with a rock garden, new sod and planted new bushes. He really listened to our ideas, was very logical, and smart. He was also timely, neat and efficient. Best of all, he returned our phone calls quickly and is very accessible. We will definitely not hesitate to use him again and refer him to others. | |Sincerely, Mark and Ana

Description of Work: Gave a bid and beat his own price. Very honest and as a PM, thankful he gave the price he did and was able to come off of that price. If you are in any contracting business its better to plan high and perform hard to produce lower cost.

Description of Work: We were interested in having a section of our concrete driveway removed and replaced with gravel as the concrete was being lifted by the roots of a large tree. We were satisfied with the plan presented by Second Nature but the price was very high. We got a second estimate from K & B Concrete (also on Angie's List) which was $1000 cheaper so we went with K&B. Their work was excellent

very satisfied
Description of Work: We discovered mold in our family room under our wood flooring. We had to remove the wood and dry out the concrete slab before we could continue with installing new flooring. I called James.Knoebel from Second Nature Landscaping when I read his reviews on Angie's List. The review mentioned he specialized in drainage problems. I asked him.to investigate and fix the drainage on the outside on my family room which I thought was the cause of the mold problem. He came out and inspected the situation and came up with a through plan to fix the issue. He installed a drainage system which will direct the rain water from my two down gutters to a drain that will carry the water through the drainage pipe, that he installed, down both sides of our house and out into the street. He was very dependable and responded to my calls and concerns, I found him to be an excellent contractor and professional, I would highly recommend him. He also gave me the name of another person to come out and check for mold inside my home. This gentleman was also on Angie’s list and his name was David Coulter of the Coulter Construction Co. He was able to check my interior walls and found them to have no mold or mildew. David was also very professional and we could recommend him as well,

Jim promptly returned my call and met me at my house the next day. I explained that I was planning to sell the house and needed to create some curb appeal without breaking the bank and it needed to be done quickly. We talked a bit, threw around some ideas and right away he knew exactly what to do and didn't try to sell me on anything unnecessary, which I really appreciated. On that first meeting, we walked around the house and he rattled off what he thought each section needed. I felt totally comfortable leaving him to make all creative decisions. He also gave me some tips on things I could do myself to save even more. He and his crew started the job the morning after I gave him the deposit check and finished two days later. I was amazed at how quickly I had a brand new, gorgeous landscaping for under $2,400! I'm hiring Second Nature Landscaping to maintain my yard until the house sells. I hope the new owner keeps him on.
Description of Work: Our old, tired, dead yard, in front and back, was in bad need of a facelift in order to prepare for selling our house. Jim at Second Nature Landscaping, designed a new plan for us, ripped up all of the dead grass & weeds, tweaked the existing sprinkler system (instead of installing a new one in order to save $$), pulled up some old pavers and utilized them more effectively, tore out & cleaned up overgrown bushes, cleared out tons of oak seedlings & fallen leaves & twigs and installed sod, new plants and lots of mulch.
