Description of Work: We had them design and replace 2 planting beds in our front yard. Andrew the designer came several times with different options on flowers, placement, design. After job was decided on the working staff came with Andrew to start the job. Andrew checked back several times while the job was being done and came again with his boss after the job was done. Very professional and all very nice. Would call them again to do another job.

Response from Poul's Landscaping
We had a new employee in training on a new computer system for our lead entry and distribution. The lead mistakenly did not get printed out and distributed to the proper representative. It is our policy to get back to leads within 24 hours to the best of our ability. When learning of this mistake from the review we immediately sent [Member name removed] an email and tried contacting her cell phone. We would love the opportunity to meet with [Member name removed] in regards to her project and apologize for not getting back to her in our normal prompt fashion.

Description of Work: I selected Poul's because they listened to my needs in renovating my 20-year-old landscape and using what could be saved and replacing what could be saved. They were very professional and prompt and I am very pleased with the result - positive comments on results from my neighbors too!

Description of Work: Poul's is our go-to full service landscaper. We use them for everything from 6 times per year lawn maintenance to hardscaping to re-landscaping of the yard. We have dealt with them at least 10 years, and Dan is very honest and professional. The last time we had them come over is to fix the stones in front of the house where chipmunks had dug a path and made the stones uneven. Because we are regular customers, we get free advice when we call in with issues like winter kill on our evergreens. We won't go anywhere else for our landscaping service.

Everything went as expected
Description of Work: Sewer excavation required a new sidewalk be installed. We decided on brick pavers to replace the aggregate walk. Andrew was very accommodating and the installation was very professionally done. It was perfectly integrated with the existing paver patio and front stoop. Charges we're quit reasonable. Would highly recommend and will use again!

Great.
Description of Work: I purchased a coupon for 4 hours of garden cleanup and a final lawn mowing. I had done quite a bit but they came in and finished up leaving everything neat and tidy. It was the best money I even spent. I hope they do it again.

Excellent job done on time.
Description of Work: I have been working with Patrick from Poul's Landscaping for several weeks. He and his team came to my home yesterday and did exactly what I asked. They cleaned up my entire yard, leveled and seeded a huge area in my front yard which had no grass due to the fact that I had to remove a diseased pine tree. They core areated, put down seed and dirt. But the thing I was most excited about is that they edged around all my plantings, bushes, etc. It looks fantastic. I am so excited and now I am hoping for some rain to get my grass going. I contracted with them because of their great reviews on Angie's List and I am so glad I did. Highly recommended company! Thanks Poul's.
