Dan Cook came out to our house to look over the existing plans and to make suggestions for how to carry them out. Yes, they do charge $75 for this site visit, but it is credited to any order or work that you give them. I think the price is very reasonable for the initial visit. Within a couple of weeks, he got back to me with a specific quote and dates they could start. Once we accepted their proposal, they were right on time and stuck with the job until it was complete. They always kept everything clean, did not leave pop cans and cigarette butts lying around, and stayed on budget. I then hired them to do additional work on other areas of the yard and they did a fabulous job. I should say that our previous experience--with a different landscaping company--was an absolute nightmare and working with Eagle Creek Nursery and Mr. Cook was such a pleasure it has restored my faith.
Description of Work: Design, site prep, and installation of landscaping, also installation of plants per a previous designer's plan. Also, grading and seeding of lawn areas.

They are wonderful people. I contacted them in July after my dog died (I wanted to plant a tree as a memorial). I wasn't sure where the best place was for a dogwood tree. I called them at 5 and asked for some advice. We set up an appointment for 6 pm and we discussed the best place for the tree. The tech was wonderful. I picked up the tree and they came (and waited through the dog's memorial service) to plant.

Taking a few leaves and twigs, I went to Eagle Creek. After a good inspection, the arborist decided that the tree needed fertilizer. He told us how to apply it. I bought a sack of fertilizer and an auger. I treated the tree. It looks better, and we'll fertilize again in the spirng.
Description of Work: We had a sick tulip tree. Its leaves were pale green, rather than healthy bright green. I called Eagle Creek, which had planted the tree 9 years ago, and spoke to an arborist, descibing as well as possible my observations. He suggested that I come in to get further diagnosis about whether it was a bug, fungus, or ??

Mark was wonderful! He spent time helping us plan out what to do and then completed the estimate and work timely. He was even on site with the work crew to assure it was completed correctly. When the old site of the trees settled he re-sodded the area to the correct height without an extra charge. We continue to use them for our lawn maintenance program and our yard looks 100% better. David is wonderful when he comes to fertilize about making suggestions to improve the landscape.
Description of Work: Moved 2 large evergreen trees and 1 smaller tree including mulch beds and new sod. Aeration, overseeding and on going lawn maintenance

All the bushes they put in are doing very well. I was very happy with the service. All the people who came out were very professional. Their price was competitive and they had great communication. They did an excellent job. Melissa did the bid and design. She was very knowledgeable and responsible. She also came out to check on the progress during installation which I thought was a nice touch.
Description of Work: They did a number of things. They installed evergreens, moved some holly bushes to a new place in the yard. They also landscaped and installed new blue grass sod where we needed new grass.

They're aren't cheap, but they warranty EVERYTHING within reason, and they have good healthy plants. If you care conscientiously for a plant and it still dies, they're willing to back it up. I respect that and they respect the fact that I take good care of my plants!
Description of Work: I use them religiously, and have for a decade. They always do my trimming, clean up and take care of all the landscaping. We have a very relaxed relationship. You get what you pay for, but the price is fair.

Please see comments on the work performed.
Description of Work: We have used this company before and were satisfied with their work. I called them recently to ask for an estimate on a landscaping job and they said they had to charge a $30 fee to come out to look at our job. I didn't like the idea and told them they just lost their business. I believe a free estimate should be given to customers if the company REALLY wants the job. This tells me that they do not value their customers, or that they have too many jobs lined up and don't care. Therefore, when you recommend this company to the customers, you should mention the $30 fee for estimates. Thank you.

Response from Eagle Creek Nursery & Landscape
WE HAVE RECENTLY IMPLEMENTED A $30 FEE FOR AN ON-SITE CONSULTATION WITH A LANDSCAPE DESIGNER. WE REALIZE THAT THIS DOES NOT SIT WELL WITH MANY PEOPLE, AND WE ARE STILL DEBATING THE PROS AND CONS OF OUR DECISION. TO SHED SOME LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT, THERE ARE MANY REASONS WHY WE DECIDED TO IMPLEMENT THE FEE. FIRST, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, FUEL COSTS ARE ON THE RISE, AND OUR DESIGNERS SPEND A GREAT DEAL OF TIME ON THE ROAD TRAVELING FROM ONE APPOINTMENT TO THE NEXT. WE FEEL THAT THE CONSULTATION FEE HELPS OFFSET THESE FUEL COSTS. ALL OF OUR DESIGNERS ARE HAPPY TO HOLD CONSULTATIONS OVER THE PHONE FOR NO CHARGE; THEY ARE ALSO AVAILABLE, ALONG WITH INDIANA ACCREDITED HORTICULTURIST CERTIFIED STAFF, TO CONSULT WITH PEOPLE HERE AT OUR NURSERY. WE FEEL THAT WE ARE OFFERING MANY OTHER OPTIONS TO POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS ASIDE FROM THE ON-SITE CONSULTATION WITH ITS $30 FEE. WE ARE VERY MUCH INTERESTED IN EVERY POTENTIAL CUSTOMER THAT CONTACTS US, BUT WE FIND IT NECESSARY TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS IN ORDER TO KEEP A SMALL, FAMILY OWNED BUSINESS AFLOAT IN A WORLD OF LARGE CORPORATIONS.

I THINK THEIR PRICES ARE MUCH TOO HIGH FOR THE WORK DONE. THEY CHARGE FOR LABOR AND EQUIPMENT-EVEN USING THE SNIPPERS IS "LABOR" AND "EQUIPMENT."

WE ARE VERY SORRY TO HEAR THAT THIS ANGIE''S LIST MEMBER IS STILL UNSATISFIED. WE LEARNED OF HER COMPLAINT SHORTLY AFTER SHE RECEIVED HER INVOICE IN SEPTEMBER 2005. WE UNDERSTOOD THAT SHE FELT HER LABOR AND EQUIPMENT CHARGE WAS UNFAIR AND THAT SHE HAD BEEN OVERCHARGED. IN RESPONSE, WE ISSUED THE MEMBER A CREDIT MEMO FOR LABOR AND EQUIPMENT EQUAL TO HALF OF HER TOTAL INVOICE, ALSO IN SEPTEMBER 2005. IT IS UNSETTLING THAT TWO MONTHS AFTER SHE WAS ISSUED A CREDIT, SHE WOULD STILL POST A COMPLAINT WITH ANGIE''S LIST. WE ARE VERY SORRY SHE IS STILL UNHAPPY, AND WE HOPE THAT OUR EFFORTS TO IMPROVE THE SITUATION HAVE HELPED HER IN SOME WAY.
