We had a great experience with Apple Blossom. Harvey listened to our needs and designed something to meet them. We received another quote from a different contractor that was much higher. Very strong customer service focus. If we have landscaping projects in the future we will be using Apple Blossom

Harvey Willey, president of Apple Blossom, met with us to discuss what we wanted and liked for our patio. He developed a plan that we loved. The first thing to happen was the installation of the seat wall. It was constructed with Unilock blocks. The guys that worked very hard to make sure our walls were straight and level. We chose to have the wall topped with stone. It looks great. The lighting installed is l.e.d. mounted under the top caps of the wall. It provides a beautiful accent at night. Apple Blossom worked with K&M Concrete. We were fortunate to have two wonderful companies working on our patio. The end result is something we will always be proud of.

Another job well done! I love my newly renovated garden! Harvey came to my home and discussed in detail what I needed done and provided guidance on the best way to accomplish it. He worked within my budget and his wife picked out beautiful new plants to complement the plants that we kept from the old garden. I am excited to see how the new swale works the next time it rains. Jacob and his crew arrived on time and were friendly and professional even when they had to deal with a crazy squirrel and the bees in the crab apple tree! Thanks again.

They were very expensive so I had to go with another local landscaper. They were knowledgeable about the landscaping. They were very quick to respond. They were $600 or $700 higher than the people I used for the job.

Response from Apple Blossom Landscape Concepts Inc
There must be some confusion, I set up an appointment and gave {removed member names} an estimate in writing on 8/8.2013, He had asked for a quote for the removal of existing outcrop stone and re-installation of the outcrop stone as an edge on the walk. He also wanted a quote for a few short retaining walls. I gave him a written estimate before I left. I asked him to contact me with any questions or if he would like to proceed with the project. I never quoted any lighting work for him. We never heard back from him regarding the project. In the end, we never did any work for {removed name}.

Harvey is great to work with. He met with me at my home to discuss what I needed and provided suggested trees that would work in my yard. He has provided ongoing support in caring for my new tree which is beautiful and already providing some shade! I would definitely recommend Apple Blossom. I have already contracted them to do a Garden Renovation in my back yard this year!

We want to make clear that this client must have us confused with another landscaper. They are correct, we did meet with them for an estimate regarding a walk and soldier's course installation, and from that meeting a proposal was sent on 03/23/13 but they did not have us complete landscape services for them. We sent an email on 03/23/13 accompanying the proposal and the 03/24/13 response received was "Thank you for your estimate, It doesn't look to me like this will work, thank you for your time". We appreciated the opportunity to meet with them, but again, no project was completed for them.

Harvey came to our home to get a detailed idea of what we hoped to have accomplished. He promptly sent us an estimate and later on, as we made changes, promptly sent us a revised quote. Communication was excellent and the crew arrived as planned. We have owned several homes over the last 35+ years and no one has ever performed work for us as of any kind as professionally and efficiently as Apple Blossom. I wish I had known of them many years ago. I am sure they are quite successful, and deservedly so. If you are contemplating landscaping work of any kind you would be doing yourself a favor by including Apple Blossom in your bidding process.
Description of Work: We had our old patio lighting removed and new patio lighting installed, pavers added to each side of the driveway to expand the width, and all of the gardens were edged and mulched.

Although they indicate they service DuPage county, when they returned my call and I told them where I lived - Darien, IL (which is in DuPage County) - they said they didn't service Darien. If in fact they do not service Darien, I would suggest removing DuPage county from areas that they service.

[Member name removed]- Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. While our service area was modified, we were unaware in Angie's List our service area information for Dupage County was still marked "all" when we do indeed only service the Central and Western areas of Dupage County. This error has been fixed and is now accurately shows which cities we service in Dupage. Thank you again, and we apologize for any inconvenience.

Harvey and team are fantastic! Top marks for responsiveness, expertise, professionalism and relationship building. Harvey listens. He returned my inquiry call within one hour and indicated he was in client meetings but would call later and he did. The in-person appointments were flawless. Harvey cares about his clients and the work he does. He is a good teacher and goes above and beyond in his help. I highly recommend Apple Blossom Landscaping and I will use them for pruning and other services in the future.

The consultation went very well. He offered quality advice and tips and provided a detailed quote within a week of the consult. The reason the service was not used was not due to the quality or professionalism of the landscaper. We did not use the service because our landscaping is minimal and we enjoy DIY projects. We paid for the quote and consult mainly for advice and ideas.

Thank you for you response, I met with your husband to discuss landscaping and grading. I let him know that the heavy grading needed was very extensive and not something we do. He would need to contact the pool contractor or an excavator in order to complete this first before we could quote a cost on any landscaping. He then asked me for a quote for some drain tile repair and installation on the side of the home. Drain tile is something we don't do usually by itself unless it is in conjunction with landscape planting. Please contact me when the grading is completed so I may complete my quote for the drain tile and landscaping needed.

Working with Harvey on this project was great! We had called several other landscapers but did not get the attention or detail that Harvey gave us in planning how to landscape the front of our house. It was a little more expensive than the other quotes but the quality of the work was instrumental in going with Apple Blossom. His crew was very polite and worked very hard to get the job done according to what we wanted. They were very courteous and even cleaned off my car when I had to leave because it was full of dust from the work they were doing.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. The guy showed up and told me the job was too small and he won't accept it, talked to me for about 7 minutes and then he left. He told me he was too busy. He never called me back. I was disappointed, I was ignored. No job is too small or too big. He is an ignorant. If he chooses to see everybody as a dollar sign, God bless the person. He works with very wealthy customers but if they work with a very wealthy account, why would they still use Angie's List. If they must be very busy, why use Angie's List? They have to follow up no mater how busy they are and no matter how small the job is; otherwise, they have to remove themselves from Angie's List.

[member name removed], Thank you for your response, but we wonder if you might have us confused with another contractor. I have checked my records and your file, and my only visit with you was in 2012. It seems odd that you would respond your dissatisfaction now instead of before. Honestly, I was shocked to see what you'd written about our company. You have a right to be upset if a contractor treated you this way, but it wasn't us. I am careful to answer all questions and before I leave I ask if there are any more. In running a business, unfortunately because of overhead costs, we have to decline estimating a landscape project because of it's size. It requires a crew(s) and equipment and materials. However we have never ever told a landscape lighting client that their job was too small. We work on all sizes of landscape lighting projects. It is a different installation involving a much smaller crew. As a matter of fact we recently completed a cleaning and maintenance of a small lighting job for $155.00. We are sorry for your experience but we doubt it was Apple Blossom Landscape. Harvey

I was disappointed with this Deal. The man and I walked around the backyard, which already had several flower beds, and I explained what I wanted done. When I got the plan back, I got a plan for one corner of the backyard and he quoted me $6,000 for the minor work in that corner. I've had several professionals come and work in my yard and never for that price. When I tried to ask for a quote on a slightly different job, I never heard back from him.
