EDDIE'S LANDSCAPING

First of all, Eddie was 1 hour late and when I said wow I didn't think you were coming you're an hour late he promptly told me he was very busy, not "I'm sorry, I'm really busy". Like my time is not valuable! His quote was 1800.00 over other quotes we received. He was shown my paver patio and insulted my entire back yard and stepped on my plants and took a picture of my bar-b-que (all done in stone) and said he wanted it so he could show his clients what not to do! We also took him to a neighbor's yard for an additional job and he quoted him 2000.00 over other quotes. Granted, he obviously does a good job and knows what he is doing. But I'm not sure if he is that much better than the other paver companies that gave me quotes and the one that I hired. It should be noted that we were planning on purchasing mulch, stone and soil from Eddies but because he was so rude we went elsewhere. Also, we live in a neighborhood of large trees and his tree service could have benefited. But I will note on the neighborhood blog he is not the man for the job.

We've been working with Eddie for a number of years. We were initially attacted to Eddie's service because of the quality of the mulch we saw in our neighbor's planting beds -- yes, it was love at first mulch! In addition to the quality of Eddie's mulch (this year, we are using a new variety that is supposed to return to its dark, rich color after rain or watering - we're anxious to see how that goes), we appreciate that we can call Eddie's office and there is someone there to answer the phone and take a message or set up an appointment on Eddie's calendar. Eddie, of course, is out in the field. And just as we don't want him interrupted with calls when he's working with us, someone else doesn't want him taking our call when Eddie is working with them. We've had little problem with this communication method. So, Eddie's got envious mulch and someone to answer the phones. But he also has good design ideas - we've seen him progress in this area over the years - and his crew does good, solid, quality work. They work hard, and they do a fine job. Everyone smiles - especially when I (try to) speak Spanish to them. Yesterday, they checked with me frequently to make sure they were meeting expectations - how much did I want taken off of this tree, what they could do for that, where to place new items - it was like working with a good hairstylist! When Eddie brought a particular lilac that I was less fond of than another, he returned it and brought the one I preferred. Just as the thunder was starting at the end of a hot and humid day and the guys were completing their clean up, I returned home with 2 flats of wax begonias - which the guys promptly planted at my front door. This will be our first time having Eddie do any paver repair, but our expectations for a quality job are high.

Everything always looks nice and if there is a problem and Eddie is notified he gets it taken care of.

I'm planning on having them back in the spring.very nice.

the service was great. They came when they said they would, didn't make a mess over my property and before they left, they had me take a look and see if the bushes looked good and if anything needed to be done.

It was a big job. The work went extremely well even with the terrible heat we experienced.
