We requested to be let know when the construction was done and never heard back. We also provided an estimate and design several years ago and never received any feedback. Had same issue with other family members.

We removed snow for [Member Name Removed] during the blizzard of 2015. The price was higher due to the amount of snow and being a one-time removal. All work had to be done by hand due to the fact we hadn't seen the driveway prior to the storm.

Description of Work: We told Mr. Peckhart what we wanted, then we told him our budget. He found a way to give us what we wanted while staying within our budget. He provided a detailed layout. His crew were hard workers and Mr. Peckhart was on the job site much of the time to oversee the work being done. We could not be more pleased with our new patio and we enjoy it everyday.

Brennan and his crew were great! Brennan was extremely knowledgeable about laying pavers and what would work best for my project and individual needs. The whole crew was very professional,communicating with me regarding what they were doing and answering all of my questions. They showed up on time and cleaned up the whole area each time they left the two day project. The price was the most reasonable compared to the other two "A" rated Angie's List contractors. I would hire them back without question!
Description of Work: Brennan and his crew installed a 6ft by 7ft flagstone patio with two separate 18ft flagstone walkways around my waterfall/pond.

Such a large project is always likely to involve some glitches (rain, etc.). Gary, Brennan, and crew were affable and very stable when some adversities beyond their control arose. And when we needed to make a significant adjustment. My hat is off to them for being easy to work with. They were quite good about cleanup afterwards too, as the rain and machinery necessarily made a mess during the project. They put everything back in good shape when they were done.
Description of Work: Peckhart Landscaping did a very large project we'd been putting off for years--rebuilding a long retaining wall that also has design importance to our yard. It involved use of large machinery to move massive pieces of limestone.

No complaints the wall looks great and the work was completed in 2-3 days. They definitely know what they are doing and the works shows. Employees are friendly and knowledgable I would definitely recommend them.
Description of Work: I had a retaining wall that after 30 years was falling apart and needed to be taken down and rebuilt. Also had 9 overgrown trees that Peckhart was able to rip out the stumps.

Gary, Brennan and the crew were outstanding, wonderful people to deal with, who were up front and forthright in all our conversations from the estimating, configuring, pictorial plan presentation, and construction. They worked with us throughout the process and followed up in a timely fashion to answer any and all questions or concerns. When installation was scheduled they showed up at exactly the time they said they would they worked diligently throughout both days they were at our home and their installation techniques were first class and according to inter-lock specifications. The installers had an audience both days as people in our neighborhood stopped by to see the construction and they were courteous and friendly with all. Answering many questions and explaining the process. The job sight was kept clean and the sod work along the edges of the new patio and walls was extremely well done. During the two full days of construction and installation all parties were as courteous and friendly to my wife and I as they could have been. We strongly recommend Peckhart Landscaping and if we our family should ever have need of additional paver work or landscaping we will be certain to contact Gary and or Brennan at Peckhart.

My family just moved to area 2 months ago. The A rating Peckhart Landscaping has established with Angie's list is well deserved. Working with them was by far one of the best experiences I have had with a contractor. They were friendly and professional from start to finish. Their price was very reasonable considering the amount of work they did. They always showed up on time, completed work earlier than expected, cleaned up when they were done and offered a multitude of suggestions that could solve my problems and save me money. It's nice to know you can still find respectable and hard working family businesses that you can trust. They will be the only contractor I will use from this point forward period. They went above and beyond every step of way. In process of hiring them for other future projects.

Peckhart ripped up the old concrete (which was a hard job) and hauled it away. They put in a new bed of sand and stone chips and set the pavers.My old walk was almost covered with my plantings and ground cover. They did a good job of keeping the disturbance to a minimum. In a few months it will look like the walk has been there for years. They kept the workplace clean and did a good job of cleaning up when they were finished. They were easy to work with and did not try to add extras to the job. The price was exactly what we agreed to at the begining. Peckhart was good at communicating and let us know what was happening all the time.Very pleased with the job.
Description of Work: Peckhart ripped up my old concrete front walk and replaced it with pavers. They also covered the existing front stoop with pavers.

Overall Experience: I was very happy with all phases of how this project developed and would use Peckhart landscaping again for any future project. Price: The pricing for the project was competitive. Quality: The quality of the work was excellent. There were some small items that came up during the project that were not perfect but in all cases were very willing to make them right.Responsiveness: There were several rounds of communications and questions back and forth. In all the communication (most thru e-mail) the responses were complete and were returned very quickly. Punctuality: They were very punctual for every meeting we had scheduled. Professionalism: During the course of a 5 day installation all the work was done in a very professional manner. I started a project early in the spring with an initial contact to get a budgetary price for a patio project that I was considering. I provided a simple sketch of what I was thinking about. They came back with a detailed proposal with several design improvements and suggestions. There were several rounds of questions and changes as we decided on the details of the design and materials. When the project started everything went very smoothly. There were a couple of details that needed to be worked out and they were very good about providing a couple of options and making sure that I was happy with the results. I also had to add a step to the design as we went along due to a new door location on our garage. They took care of it with no issues. Once the work was completed there was one small thing that turned out looking not quite right. Before I had even noticed it they brought it to my attention and had a plan for fixing it. They returned a short time later and fixed it. I would highly recommend Peckhart to anyone with a landscaping project.
Description of Work: They restructured an old paver patio and added a whole new section of patio (approximately 400 sq feet). This included some retaining walls and a accent column., as well as planting beds.The restructured areas were pulled up and relaid.

I contacted Peckhart for winter long snow removal services. They were punctual and professional in the estimate process, and have been exceptional in their service. My driveway and walk areas are large, and not completely obvious. They figured it out the first time, and have continued to perform above my expectations.

We think we spent about $4000 on their services. The quality of the work was very good. They did manually two sidewalks for the landscaping to go with it. They came back and corrected a couple of things that were not done right. They were prompt at doing it too. We referred them to our neighbor and they’ve got a job out of us. We will use their services again in the future.
Description of Work: We used Peckhart Landscaping. We last used their services in August of 2011. They did pavers for us. They also did manually two brick sidewalks.

From the initial meeting to the end product they were very professional and reliable. Gary was very open to my questions and concerns while developing the plan. I was very impressed by the visual imaging. It allowed me to truly see what the end result was going to look like. Gary told me that he could work with my budget and that he did. He exceeded my expectations. He planned, designed and brought to life the most amazing piece of work that I have ever seen. Not only is his work incredible but he is such a great guy to work with along with his team. He is patient and willing to work around any blockade that might slow your job down.

The overall experience and service was great! Gary was able to work around my schedule for setting up the initial appointment. I received the visual design and proposal within a week. Once I signed the contract the installation date was provided. They called to inform me that they would be out sooner and asked if that was ok. I paid 1/3 at the signing, 1/3 at the start and 1/3 when finished. The installation went very smooth. Gary and his son were both on the project so any changes or questions got answered/resolved right away. They kept the job site very cleaned and organized. The project took about 4 days to complete. I was very pleased with the service and product provided. All the plants and material were high quality. I have used Peckhart Landscaping on 5 different occasions and have recommended them to friends and family. They have done 4 other houses in my sub-division over the past two years.
Description of Work: Peckhart Landscaping provided the following; visual design (before signing the contract), plants, retaining walls, paver walk and patio, fencing, and mulch:
