We had arranged for landscape services to be provided by Matthies' Landscape services beginning in 2014 season. The previous homeowner had recommended Matthies' but warned us that they were considerable higher priced than other service providers. Despite a significantly higher price quote, we elected to use Matthies' as we assumed they would provide a much greater level of service than their competition. Unfortunately, we were wrong. The service was sub-par and the prices were much higher than their competition. The quality of work provided for lawn care services is not particularly stellar, but the prices were out of this world! After mutual agreement on a 2015 lawn care program, we established Matthies' as our provider of choice, again thinking that their familiarity with our property would be beneficial. They performed a spring clean up and cut the grass for 50% more than the cost of our neighbors virtually identical lawn and then just stopped showing up. They virtually disappeared and we were left to seek alternate service provider mid-season. I must credit them for some of the heavier duty landscaping that they did on our property prior to our ownership which involved building walls and creating flower beds. However, they "stink" at providing more mundane services like lawn care and light duty landscaping tasks. It seems they want to make a fortune from a small job. When the jobs aren't large enough their support is nil. We merely wanted decent lawn care and seasonal maintenance from a reliable vendor. Matthies' did not fit the bill. In summary, they are very high priced and unreliable for "regular" lawn care and "maintenance landscaping."
Description of Work: Matthies provided landscaping and lawn care services for 2014 and 2015 seasons.

Description of Work: I have used Matthies Landscape twice. Once to install a brick walkway to my front door and the other time to install a raised garden with plants. Both times I was impressed by their service, suggestions and helpfulness. I would certainly use them again.

I have used Matthies Landscape for over 9 years and they have been absolutely wonderful! They are friendly, prompt, fantastic at every job I've ever had them perform, and you can tell they care greatly and are very conscientious about everything they do. Anne, the owner, is one of the friendliest people I have ever met. I had an issue with the yard flooding on Christmas Eve (due to a clog in our storm water pipe) and she stopped baking! to come over and try to help me out. Her guys ended up digging a temporary trench for me that day and then returned the day after Christmas to dig up the remaining pipes to find the clog and fix it. They were here just yesterday performing my Spring Cleanup and they did a WONDERFUL job! Everything looked so beautiful after they left that it motivated me to start decorating the exterior with all of my cute ironwork. They will also be out here in the next couple of months to install flagstone to my front porch, and to travel about an hour away to install stone that will surround my Mother's head stone. They mow my lawn every week and they'll be back in the fall to do a "fall cleanup" as well. I can't imagine using anyone other than Matthies Landscape - they are the best!
Description of Work: Spring cleanup which includes: edging all beds, removing debris, cutting back and reshaping all that is needed, and the added installation of mulch to all bedding areas (I have very large bedding areas and several of them!).

Description of Work: This is our second time using Matthies. They performed our spring clean up and mulched our yard in April 2014. We used them a second time in Oct 2014. This was for pruning, clipping, fertilizing etc. A big job. We chose Matthies because they provided servcies for the previous owners of our home. They had an intimate knowledge of our landscaping. Ann is very professional, friendly and open. She is responsive to emails and phone call. I was impressed as to how she remembered little details about our landscaping from previous years. She is very knowledgable regarding shrubs, trees etc. Her crew are punctual and respectful. We plan on setting up a regular maintenance plan for our yard with Matthies. They may not be the cheapest, but you get what you pay for, quality work and happy customers!

They were great to work with. We originally wanted brick, but decided it was cost prohibitive. We had our own brick already purchased and they were willing to work with us, ultimately using it to line the drive and walkway. They cheerfully prepared 3 total quotes for us trying to stay within a more economical budget. We added items, took away, and worked together on a final plan. I was happy with their execution. Of course things always come up, (weather, vendor issues) but Anne at Matthies was always responsive with an email or phone call to keep me informed of progress whether on a quote or on final project. They admitted in the beginning that their pricing wouldn't be the absolute cheapest, but it would be fair and quality would be great. I'm so glad I didn't just go for price.
Description of Work: Matthies created a new plan for my landscape - both hardscape and plantings. They then installed brick edging on my driveway and front walk. They removed existing plant material and installed new per plan. Installed a flagstone patio/path.

Had them come out to give us an estimate to do our patio and some ground work. Initial meeting was delayed a day because they didn't show up for our scheduled meeting. They called an hour after they were supposed to be here and said it was their fault and asked if they could come the next day. A week after I received their proposal I contacted them to make some adjustments to our proposal and never heard back from them. That was almost 3 weeks ago. Hired someone else who is doing a lot more work then proposed by Matthies and for a lot less price.
Description of Work: Wanted patio area redone in pavers with a retaining wall built around 3 areas of the patio, with steps. Needed sod put in also.

Response from Matthies Landscape
Matthies Landscape takes pride in our client relations and response time. The initial visit to this client was delayed due to a family emergency by the sales representative. The proposed work was over money than the client expected for the project. While we are willing to work with clients on price and make project adjustments, we are not willing to sacrifice price for quality, or perform work below industry standards.

This company is extremely professional! They are clean, timely, and they do wonderful work. Anne Matthies and Mike both did an extremely nice job ensuring that my retaining wall was completed according to plan and they were very attentive to my needs and questions. I would definitely use Matthies Landscape in the future and would recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: 18 foot Unilock retaining wall installed.
