Great price, she found high quality pavers that she could recycle from another tearout and we could get a great patio cheap. We didn't like the slope in one spot, and they came back and re-did it for free. Awesome service!!

Everything went well. We just got a design and they did not charge us a price. We did not use them to do it. The experience with them was pretty good. They were good and thorough. They gave us a design, which was pretty good. We liked it, but, because of our budget we didn't hire them. I'm not sure I'd use them in the future because their price is pretty high.
Description of Work: I had a Big Deal from Lawncare Plus Design. We had them come in and give us a design only.

Maria is kind, easygoing and very professional. Looking forward to working with her.
Description of Work: I am already so impressed with this Big Deal. Maria, the owner of the company, came to my house just to go over my property with me and see what we wanted. This was not part of the deal, but she graciously offered without my asking. We were able to talk about the details and she pointed out things that they'd trim or remove that I hadn't thought of! She also discussed a wildflower garden I have in front of my house and said she'd help me tame it and shape it so it doesn't look like the jungle it becomes every summer! She spent over 1/2 hour of her time answering my questions. I'm really excited about this Deal and the great value it represents. Thanks Angie's List and Lawncare Plus Design.

The person we met with was pleasant, but I believe they were overwhelmed by the response to this special so they did not put much effort into our yard design project.
Description of Work: This company was running a special so we did not think we had much to loose. They would provide a yard landscape design for $100 and you pretty much got $100 worth of effort in the design.

Member I am sorry you felt that way of the design. That is not the impression I got when we reviewed it together.We would glady have revised it and still can if you would like. Nothing is set in stone, changes can be made to the plan.Thank you for your feedback. Please contact us if you would like additional plan review and perhaps a possible installation this year.

They called and told us that the amount of leaves exceeded their truck hauling ability and that they would need to charge about $100 more to haul all of the leaves away. I consented to the extra charge. I got back home and they were still working and I went inside to write them a check for the additional amount but they ended up doing the extra work and leaving - not charging me the extra $100. I thought that was generous. There was two workers and they worked very hard and were very personable.
Description of Work: They came and did final lawn care service to close out the season. We have a half acre yard and it was loaded with leaves.

They did an OUTSTANDING job of cleaning up and trimming my front and back yard, in addition to removing all of the waste! The only issue I had was with their lack of responsiveness in making an appointment; made several attempts with no success via phone-calls and email, and finally had to lodge a complaint with Angie's list. The day after lodging my complaint through Angie's list, we received a call from the company and scheduled the services!
Description of Work: Completely cleaned up the leaves and edging of my yard, front and back, and trimmed the bushes and trees.

Member, glad you liked the cleanup. Sorry about the miscommunication or lack off. You were actually out of our service area, an hour away from us. It took a little longer to evaluate how you had purchased the deal and I decided to do the cleanup after your complaint and seeing as how you were out of town and had no alternative. Thanks for your feedback. Maria Larios-Principal

From the first communication to the last, the company was responsive and professional. We settled on a particular clean up day due to the city yard waste pick-up timing. Two employees (owner and staff or two co-owners) arrived on time; did a walk around the yard to confirm which plants to pull and which to leave -- (I requested to leave some perennials) and mentioned they hoped to go in a neighbors yard in order to blow leaves to my yard without adding to the neighors. I called the neighbor to keep their dog in and over the fence one worker went! They set to work and completed the yard clean up efficiently and afterwards asked that I check that they had completed it to my satisfaction or if they were any areas I felt needed more attention. Nothing more needed. I pride myself on getting my yard cleaned up for winter, but with my busy fall schedule I didn't think I had the time to commit to it. I have to admit, they prepared it better than I could have, despite the great fall weather we had. After they left a neighbor called to tell me how impressed she was with the way it looked! I will definitely consider hiring them again; and based on their attention to detail I am considering getting an estimate for a garden wall I want to add to my home.
Description of Work: Complete yard clean-up for winter: mow lawn (approx 1/4 acre), edge (corner lot!), remove all leaves and also removal of debris/dead plants.

I met with Maria to discuss taking out my current asphalt driveway and replacing it with either all pavers or pavers/asphalt. Maria was on time for our meeting, very nice but she really didn't offer me any ideas or thoughts on how she would envision my project. She was very punctual in e-mailing me her estimates for the job. Her e-mail basically said $15,000 for pavers with asphalt or $20,000 for all pavers. Her quote was accompanied by a 1 line description of each job. Her quote didn't include any rough drawings/ ideas and which pavers where going to be used. Pavers differ in price and from the quote I really had no idea what I would be getting for the price. Nice enough person, but I was really looking for a lot more guidance on my project and at the very least a few rough drawings.
Description of Work: Replace my current asphalt driveway with either 1. all paving stones or 2. partial paving stones with some asphalt.

Member,thank you for your feedback. I appreciate your review as this allows us to improve our operations. We can gladly provide design plans but at an additional cost that would have to be prepaid. Email was sent to provide you with an immediate quote on the options for your project.It was not a formal contract or proposal. Please reread the email I sent you. It did provide the specific paver Brussels Block to match the existing pavers in the back patio. You said you wanted to use the XL Brussels Block and Full Size Brussels Block as a border so that is what I specified in the email.Additional details in the email really do clarify where asphalt and pavers would be. I am sorry if I did not make those clear. I glady would have done a rough sketch right on the plat.We could have met again to clarify any questions or concerns, I am sorry you did not contact me. Good luck on your project. Please reconsider if we can be of an additional help. Thanks again, Maria Larios-Principal

I just didn't have time to do this myself, so when I went with this company based on their reviews. They completely exceeded my expectations. Their attention to detail was amazing. They picked up every leaf, raked all the gardens after cutting back all the annuals, cleaned up behind my shed and under the deck. I emailed a question to the owner and she responded promptly. I will definitely use this company again.

Took advantage of an Angies List special for landscape & paver patio design. Approx. $100 cost. Came out promptly after initial contact and took information. Did a nice job with the design but took too long to get it back (approx. 2 months). The owner was very pleasant and apologized for the delay. Said they had a big response to the "deal". Her quote was a in line with most of the others we received. Would give them another chance if something came up.

The woman came as scheduled and sat with us for a while to discuss our objectives. She then spent a long time (well over an hour) walking around our property and taking detailed notes. A few weeks later, she came back to present a plan. This included a detailed drawing of the property with recommendations for specific plants in virtually every corner of the property. She also pulled up pictures of each of the plants on her computer to show us what they looked like. The plan was very comprehensive and gave us lots of ideas. Our one quibble would be that we were primarily looking for suggestions for a few areas of the property and had told her that we didn't plan to remove most of the existing landscaping. The plan she presented almost (with the exception of the trees and large shrubs) took a clean slate approach. We have not decided what to implement, but will consider this company when getting quotes for doing the work.

We had a pleasant meeting with Denice for our initial lawn-care analysis (we purchased a special deal for a $100 analysis/design). We experienced flooding issues during our first summer in our house and wanted to address the landscaping and how it contributed to the flood. As I was afraid might happen, their company couldn't seem to handle the demand that came along with the special deal they offered. I believe they were supposed to come up with a design plan for us within about a month. When we weren't hearing back from them, I decided it wasn't worth pursuing the work with their company (and certainly wasn't going to chase after them). I pursued consultations with other firms and had already pretty much made up my mind on how to proceed with the work. However, I at least wanted to get my $100 worth and get the design analysis that was promised by Lawncare Plus Design. Of course, they had pretty much forgotten about us and blamed it on how busy they were after offering their special deal. They did provide a design plan for us (I wanted to compare it to others I had obtained; for free mind you). But, other landscapers that I had met with didn't agree with their approach. I went with a different company, and a different design plan (which was cheaper than what Lawncare Design proposed) and would not use this company again.

Thank you for your review and feedback. It helps our company evaluate and review our internal operations so we can maximize our clients overall satisfaction .I am sorry for the delay it took for you to get your design and plan proposal, at least it served as a comparison with the other bids you received from others. Honestly, we were overwhelmed with hundreds of Angie's List members who purchased our deal. Appointments,proposals,and design plans took a little longer to process then normal. All the best, Maria Larios-Principal

They were easy to work with. They made good suggestions for the design, and accepted input from me. Together we worked up a design plan, and they carried it out. They sent a large crew to do the work, and that crew work amazingly fast to complete the project in one day. They provided quality product, that met the suggestions I had made. Also, their pricing was extremely fair. Their goal was to complete the project with my suggestions as a priority.

Upon purchasing the Big Deal, I received an email from the company to schedule the appointment. They came on the specific day and performed the service as expected. Since my lawn was larger than what the deal covered I received an invoice in the mail a few weeks later. I paid the bill online. A very easy to do business with company.

I purchased a big deal from Angies list for landscape design. We just moved into our house and wanted some ideas to transform the backyard. Maria responded quickly with an appointment date. But cancelled the appointment 2 hours before she was supposed to show. It took her 2 days to get back to me with another date--which was a week later. She came, and listened to our concerns--but didn't take any notes. She took our property survey and said she would have something to us in 2 weeks. A month later, still no plan. I sent several emails, finally she responded that it would be another week. It took approx 7 weeks for her to get the plan to us. It did not include any pricing and was a little hard for us to tell exactly what she was proposing. We asked for a 3 d rendering....she told us it would be more, and that we could get a better idea if she sent plant photos and pricing. That was 6 weeks ago--still waiting for pricing. The total lack of follow thru is disappointing. We will not use them.
