During the winter they didn't show up to do the snow removal. I called them and they said I wasn't scheduled even though I'd called in the Fall to confirm I was. I asked them if they could come out to do the work. The woman I was speaking with said she'd find someone to come out to do the work. She called me back and she said they wouldn't do the service because I cancelled the lawn mowing contract.
Description of Work: I used their service for several years. They initially did the snow removal for my commercial buildings. I hired them to do lawn mowing services at my residence and I wasn't satisfied with the work. I cancelled the contract for the lawn mowing but kept the contract for the snow removal.

Tim build an amazing retaining wall in the dead of winter. Chuck formed the land & installed steps in the frozen earth. Tom & mowing crew do a great job. Show up every week. Leave area clean & tidy. Lately have had slow responses from Lester. Current - yard - great - original landscape too! Bad trouble communicating with Les. Employees - Tim - Chuck - Tom are all very responsive!

We were told they would be here within the next two weeks. After the 2 weeks had pasted by a few days, I called to ask when they might be here. I was told, "Oh, we don't intend to come out to your place." I was surprised and said that were never told that! She said, "Well, we are not going to do your place." Needless to say, I was absolutely stunned. It is now 6/17/14 and we have yet to have the system turned on because we ended so far down on the list of the next company I called to assist after this happened. But I am confident I can depend this company

Response from Nature's Link Inc
We actually told your mother when she called that we would check with the technician to see if he was willing to service your account. After checking with him, we made a business decision to not service you after what happened last year. You called us for service, we sent our technician to the site. At time of service you were happy with repair. After receiving the invoice you refused to pay, claiming our technician was fat. We are sorry but we do not feel as though this is a sufficient reason not to pay an invoice and for that reason we will not service your account.

When they mowed , they did do a good job. Lester was always very pleasant. Frustrated with poor communication. Very frustrated when they mowed the yard and turned the mower so grass clippings went in the pool while it was being cleaned. Often felt like they were too busy for my business. Also poor follow through on landscaping around the yard.
Description of Work: Summer mowing. Spring and fall clean up. Plowing in winter

They were good at scheduling for getting quote. The gentleman came to our house and we went through the areas with the list that I had about the landscaping that I needed to have done. They took a while with a very detailed quote. However, quote was 2x the price of another. They were very nice to talk with them. I would look at them again.

The sprinkler system was installed and functions correctly. However, during the installation process there were white plastic pvc pipes placed 18-24" above the ground directly in front of our picture window and house. They were placed without asking and made the front of our house look terrible. We did say something before our HOA stepped in and it was corrected and moved to the side of the house out of street sight. Our quote also included the removal of a small bush and some surrounding stumps/roots. It was not completed with the initial work and it took several reminders before they completed the work the following spring, when they de-winterized our sprinklers. Our sod area was small but it took several requests to level the area before the sod, which was what we had been quoted. Overall, we eventually got everything done but will not be using this company in the future, including the twice yearly maintenance of the sprinkler system.
Description of Work: Installed Rainbird sprinkler system, installed small sod area, removed stumps/roots.

It went extremely well. The project was finished ahead of schedule and under budget. I know that is a fairly brief description but honestly there were just not any real problems. The whole thing was a terrific experience.
Description of Work: I contacted Lester regarding installation of underground water lines to provide supply to a a turf sprinkler I purchased. Lester immediately took the time to fully understand my goals, budget, and put together a strategy for my job. He made certain that I understood how the job would be done and what the likely results would be. His team was excellent, and I appreciated them allowing me to watch and participate in certain phases. The scope of work essentially included connecting a 3" PVC water line to a 1.5" meter (we used 3" line to reduce the friction loss in the nearly 1200 feet of pipe we were laying). The job involved trenching, laying pipe, installing 8 connection points, and backfilling the trench.

Description of Work: Very knowledgeable. I nitially called them to winterize my irrigation system. In addition they repaired a short in my wiring (at no extra charge) that caused one zone to malfunction. I was impressed with their punctuality and professionalism. I'll probably use them to perform routine maintenance, consulting and repairs on my system in the future.

Generally NL does a good job with landscape and irrigation, although the past few turn ons have managed to miss multiple sprinkler head issues and required a (paid) call back. Granted I have a large system; however, one would expect broken and/or totally misaligned heads to be caught, which was disappointing.

He was supposed to come and do it last week but apparently he broke his elbow. I talked to them the first of this week and they are trying to work it in. I was looking for somebody that did sort of small landscaping jobs as well as big things and they do that sort of things. The price was better than I expected. He arrived on time for the estimate.
Description of Work: I got an estimate from Nature's Link to enlarge my garden bed and shape it. It included rototilling and putting in a good soil mixture and mulching.

Lester and his crew rocks. Never feel rushed, they listen carefully, and make give sensible options and solutions. They stay on the job until it's completed - a big plus in the Bloomington area. They are prompt, courteous, thankful to have the work, and do a great job. In basketball terms, they're a slam dunk.

They kept in the price range we wanted. He is very hard working and has an eye for things that were wrong when didn’t even realize they were. I can’t say enough for how wonderful he is doing and really knows his business. He even had a civil engineer come out to look at it to make sure it is up to code.
Description of Work: We are having water erosion problems that they have remedied and they have provided landscape services at our lakefront home. They repaired the protective footers.
