I trully regret that I have finally concluded we will never receive the services we thought we had paid for from Kemora but we have now given up and selected another landscaper. Several months ago (perhaps March) a representative of Kemora came to the house and spent roughly 1/2 hour reviewing the yard for our newly built home in Chicago. The representative indicated she would get back to us with a rough landscaping design and suggestions. They requested a plat of survey which we did not have to provide them and they indicated instead they would come out and do meansurements. We made at least two more calls leaving messages to set up an appointment for them to take whatever measurements they need or clarify the status of our requested plan and we have heard nothing from them which at this point is almost 2 weeks We fully intended on using Kemora to develop our yard;. however, after repeated and repeated phone calls and promises that a plan was coming, we have given up and started the process to select someone else. The unfortunate result for this total lack of response is that I'm out $55 but Kemora is out potentially thousands for landscaping a yard from A to Z.
Description of Work: one inital visit to see the house and yard and many, many phone calls thereafter attempting to get feedback.

I was emailed almost immediately after purchasing the deal to set up an appointment. I picked a day several weeks away; on that day, it was raining REALLY hard. I called the office and spoke to Colleen, telling her that I didn't think they could do much with the grass so wet. She told me they were already on the way and would check the conditions when they arrived. That is what happened, and they rescheduled for another day. When they came, they asked what was most important (having a limited amount of time) and they did a GREAT job! Our yard was truly a mess, not having been raked much in the fall. They cleared away tons of leaves and yard debris, trimmed a tree or two, and left the place looking wonderful --- they took all the debris with them. Everyone I spoke to at this company was friendly -- an excellent experience!
Description of Work: This was an Angie's List "Big Deal," which seems like a Groupon for member companies and clients. The deal was 4 hours (2 people for 2 hours) of spring yard clean up.

These guys were great. The coupon was for 2 men/2 hours. They worked for over 3 hours at no extra charge and even came back a second time with their truck to make sure they hauled away all the lawn debris after their truck was full the first time. Very thorough job and would definitely use them again!

Colleen came to our home, took notes and provided us with a quote online. She was very professional and represented Kemora well. If things do not work out with the company we contracted with for lawn service, we may contact Kemora again. They lost the contract because of pricing.
Description of Work: Met with Colleen Mulhern, VP of Operations. She was very knowledgable, helpful and listened well to what we were looking for in a landscape company.

Three men arrived (early!), went right to work and advised me as to how to best achieve my objective--differently than I would have done it. They dumped the dirt on a tarp so that it wouldn't mess up my grass and even replanted a rhubarb plant that was established in one of the beds. They were polite, professional, worked quickly and efficiently on a nasty spring day (sleet and snow) and cleaned up my yard every effectively when they were done. I was very impressed by this company and will now be using their regular landscaping services. Thanks!
Description of Work: I needed my raised garden beds to be emptied and wire mesh put underneath because of a rat burrowing under one of the garden beds last year. Each bed is 3'x3' so there is a lot of dirt involved. They needed to refill the beds after they were finished. The "Deal" was for landscaping services and after calling the company they agreed that this job would fall within that description.

We were very pleased with Marisa. She was on time, had wonderful ideas, and was incredibly intuitive as to our needs. We are 1st time homeowners and are really very clueless when it comes to anything flora related. We had a really hard time describing what we wanted, but Marisa was somehow able to capture exactly what we had in mind. She didn't seem fazed that we couldn't afford to use her services at this time, and even gave us some handy DIY tips! We have already begun using some of her suggestions and it's really coming together nicely~ Highly recommended!
Description of Work: We bought the Angie's List deal for a one hour consultation. Marisa walked our property with us, listened to our likes and dislikes and sketched up a little idea for our space on the spot!

The landscapers dug out some bushes that we would have had a lot of trouble with ourselves. It was definitely worth the money. The only reason to give the B for professionalism is that the person taking appointments wrote down the wrong day, and they came on a different day. As it turned out, I was available both days.

I emailed Marissa Gora for an appointment and we scheduled one for a few weeks later. Marissa was on time and spent time going over what we were looking to do with our yard. She listened to us very well and took into consideration our lack of time/ability for maintenance. She drew a potential design and said we would be emailed an estimate. We received the estimate a few days later. We've scheduled the work, but it has not been completed as yet. Good experience so far.

I met with Colleen, who was very prompt, and went over what needed to be done. She made a list of things, so I did not have to be home when the crew came on a different day. I was extremely pleased with Kemora Landscaping Designs, Inc. If you are looking for a jump start to get your yard and garden in order, so you can enjoy doing the fun stuff later, I highly recommend them. All of the debris was taken away, and I get to enjoy the yard and the hard work that they did!

On January 10, 2013 I signed up for a Big Deal with Kemora Landscape Designs. Found out yesterday that there was some problem with Angie's List and Kemora Landscape communicating the Big Deals information. I emailed Kemora directly and asked about an appointment. We are supposed to meet within the next two weeks. They were most apologetic for the confusion. I also received an email today from Angie's List about the problem; accepting all responsibility for the lack of communication. We are hopeful that our landscaping project will now move forward without further misunderstanding or difficulties.

In all fairness to the company. I would like to hear their reasoning for not showing up or not calling. Until such time, I think it best that this problem not be shared14
Description of Work: I purchased the special deal and left email instructions for contacting me. I never was contacted. Perhaps they should have followed up as I wanted an estimate for a front garden. I provided two or three dates that were good for contacting me, and nothing happened. So I still have the coupon,. Did I waste my money? I am thinking that I did.
