Excellent. I've had Dave do work on my irrigation system for several years. He's responsive and shows up when he says he will. If there is a change of plans he communicates it in advance. His pricing is excellent. I see no reason to work with anyone else ever as long as he is still in business. Can't recommend him enough.

Communicated first by email and then on the phone. Dave said he would call me on Monday, July 1 to set up a time for that week. Never called on Monday. Called me in the middle of the week and apologized for not calling. Asked if I still needed someone. I said yes and we set a date of Wednesday, July 10 at 9:00am. Never showed and never called. Unacceptable.
Description of Work: Evaluation of sprinkler system and adjustments and line extension.

Response from Dave The Garden Guy
[Member Name Removed] is absolutely correct. I forgot to call on Monday. I was out of town on vacation and forgot. When I returned and spoke with [Member Name Removed] to set up a meeting date I wrote down Thursday instead of Wednesday. In fact it was originally Thursday but in the same conversation we it changed it to Wednesday. I made a mistake. In fact when I called [Member Name Removed] on Wednesday I was actually calling to see if I could re-schedule our meeting. I was helping a customer on another project and it was delayed due to the weather and other third party issues. I thought our meeting was Thursday. When in fact it was Wednesday. In fact i was so convinced out meeting was on Thursday, I was actually doing the "professional" thing and calling him the day before the meeting to advise him that I was going to be late or had to reschedule. I don't deserve an "F" rating. [Member Name Removed] does not know me, [Member Name Removed] does not know the quality of my work. All [Member Name Removed] knows is that I failed to write down the proper day for our meeting. And that I forgot to call him (one time). Wow!! I thank [Member Name Removed] for teaching me a lesson. I should have declined his offer as I was going out of town it would be too difficult to set up a meeting when I got back due to having to make up my work schedule. I deserve an "F" for not having the courage to say "No". But an "F" for professionalism. I think not - I make mistakes. I don't apologize for being human - I was not being malicious or untruthful. The only thing I can do is learn from them and try not to make the same mistake again. Unfortunately, I'm not perfect. Dave Schultz

Very well. Previous owners did not take care of the irrigation system in our current house. Dave had to trace the irrigation system all over our property and repair it in multiple places. He had to come back to our house multiple times. A time consuming and messy job. Every time Dave came and left he gave us a heads up on his activities and the status of the job. Would ABSOLUTELY recommend his services. His price was very reasonable. Can't say enough good things about Dave's services performed at our house.

Dave did an excellent job with communicating up until the day of the estimate. He communicated that I would receive an estimate via email about a week after my appointment. I never received an estimate.

Dave was great. He came out and reviewed the property and provided a timely proposal, which he executed very well. He is well-versed about plants and landscaping and followed through on everything he said he would do.

Dave The Garden Guy responded immediately after I contacted him. He was at my house the very next day to remove and haul a large dead palm tree that had fallen over onto my lanai. They did such a great job cleaning up all of the debris, you wouldn't know a tree was ever there! Very professional and courteous. I will highly recommend Dave The Garden Guy to everyone I know!!

Everything went great! He was able to get everything done in the time frame i had to work with, which wasn't much.
Description of Work: My insurance company was requiring that I back fill and level the side of my yard. This was due to years of neglect from previous owner, although I don't think anything would have leaked, I had to get it done otherwise my insurance was going to be cancelled, I had 18 yards of dirt put in along with new sod.

[Member Name Removed]: Regarding your review you are absolutely correct. I totally forgot. Had personal issues that were more important than work and you. I'll contact Angie's List tomorrow and have them refund your money. Regards, Dave

Dave and his team do a wonderful job. Got right to work and everything was done correctly. He gave me some great ideas for an accent tree in the front yard. Keeps in touch to make sure customer is satisfied with work. Also, gave me an Angie's List discount which is always appreciated. You won't be sorry if you hire Dave for your landscaping work. He is doing some additional planting for me this week.
Description of Work: Weeded yard, removed shrubs, trimming shrubs, placed a pallet of sod and mulched all flower beds.

Dave has done numerous (10-11) yard services for us!! He & his colleague, Neil, are our " Go To" guys! We have utilized his services for many projects, over the last 5-6 years, in a previous home & for our current home. I really appreciate his "Master Gardener" knowledge, experience, work ethic & professionalism. We LOVE his recommendations, listening skills, & don't ever feel he takes advantage of over-crowding our plants, respecting & anticipating their future growth status. Dave is very conscientious/considerate of any budget limitations and time concerns that we may have, on our part, dealing with them accordingly, making wonderful recommendations, as needed. He communicates very effectively via email or phone!! We will continue to call him for all our landscaping needs!!
Description of Work: Removed 2 large bushes, replaced with 2 trees; added a few smaller shrubs & extended a French Drain system in our yard.

Got the work done in about 2 days. He and his helper are prompt, professional - it just went very smoothly and we're so happy with the outcome. Dave is so reasonable in his pricing. He has worked on our previous home in the Brandon area, as well as down here in Lakewood Ranch. Two big green thumbs up!
Description of Work: Provided a design for new landscaping. Had to submit the plan to our HOA, and they said Dave "raised the bar" for every other landscaper, in terms of thoroughness and professionalism of the plan. He removed our old landscaping, installed the new design - it looks fabulous!
