This is a small town business with small town mentality. They have a beautiful facility for weddings. Wonderful ambiance to walk through the place. I was expecting to be amazed but far from it. Landscape designer is inexperienced and unprofessional. Owners are used to informal agreements with old timer locals. Many of the plantings died right away with reluctance to replace them. Killed a healthy new maple tree planted by someone else last fall. Bad things just kept happening. Hit me with a whopper of a bill well beyond the "ceiling" estimate. Trying to rectify was horrific. Good old boy owner and his mean and snarky unprofessional wife that aren't used to being questioned about anything or having to follow established business protocols like updated estimates. I am having to rehire another landscaper to fix things as I cannot deal with them any longer. The amount of my valuable time they have wasted I will never get back. FYI I am meticulous about my yard and have babied these plantings like children to no avail.
Description of Work: New landscape on residential new construction.

Response from BLUMEN GARDENS INC
We are truly sorry that your recent experience with us was not up to your expectations. We had hoped our concessions would bring a higher level of satisfaction, but unfortunately our attempts fell short. Where we do stand tall is always striving to keep our clients educated from start to finish, and alerted to any associated cost. Therefore, we regret any miscommunication there may have been throughout that process. We are a group of horticulturists and designers who are extremely passionate about what we do, and it is our goal to leave every job site as beautiful and healthy as if it were our own.

They charged me $200 for mulching and they are very good. They were punctual and they did what they said they were going to do. They also finished on time and I would use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Blumen Gardens Inc to do some landscape designing and mulching. They did the mulching for me last season and are currently working on the design.
