They are consistent. They do a good job. They sprayed for weeds last time as the weeds were dying. That’s a good thing. I would use them in the future.

They were very helpful in helping us select the appropriate trees for our situation. They did a good job planting them. They give a two year warranty if they do the planting. We thought it was worth it. We used them in the fall and then again this spring.
Description of Work: We bought some trees from Eagle Creek Nursery & Landscape. They planted the trees for us as well.

The project went very well, and we were pleased with the results. Dan came several times during the installation of the plants to make sure things were done properly. We also had two trees planted in the front yard. We are looking forward to spring when all of the plants will be growing and blooming. We would recommend Dan and Eagle Creek Nursery if you are planning to have landscaping done.
Description of Work: Dan Cook, the landscape architect, came in September and looked at the front of our home. He discussed various options and drew up a detailed landscape plan. We found Dan to be very knowledgeable and easy to work with. The project was not started until after some concrete work was completed. The work was done the week of November 1.

I have used them since 1999. They do my spring clean up and mulching. This last time they came was on an emergency basis since I was having some mold issues that were developing due to my garden hoses. They are very professional. They worked for a day and a half, while fighting weather, on a last minute job.
Description of Work: They are my regular landscapers. I had them come out for an emergency recently. They had to lower my flower beds, remove plants, and they cut down some of my brick. They put extensions on my downspouts.

Description of Work: I contacted Eagle Creek Nursery in April about a landscape renovation of my front yard. Architect Dan Cook listened to what I wanted and drew up a fine plan. The installation was scheduled for the latter half of June. It took two and a half days.

We spent a lot. They did a really good job on the design and the installation. We are very happy with everything they did for us. The workers were good. There were no complications. The job went very well. It was a little slow than I thought it would be, but they got it done and it was great. I can't really complain about that. We are going to use them again in the future.

Member, Thank you for your kind comments! We appreciate having you as a customer. Mark Esterline ECN
It went perfectly. They really went above and beyond. They arrived when they said they would. They immediately moved their truck out of my way so I could move my car. They were so tidy, you almost never knew if they were still there or not. They blew off my back patio and cleaned out all my potted plants for no extra charge. The crew was excellent. They laid 26 yards of mulch total and they did not skimp. I will definitely be using them in the future.
Description of Work: I had a landscaping clean-up done. They cleaned out and put mulch down in our flowerbeds, put pre-emergent down and trimmed the shrubs.

We love Eagle Creek. When I call Mr Esterline, he will come out and look at a tree or plant That I am worried about. He will give me his opinion about how to go about solving the issue. he does all of this at no charge to me. He comes out and patiently walks around my yard even though it dosen?t mean income generated for him. He is very helpful. He seems to care about plants and goes the extra mile. I think that is invaluable.

I called Eagle Creek on a Saturday. ?David? seemed concerned about my problem and gave me basic info on protecting the tree until they could arrive. He promised someone would be out early the next week. Monday was a holiday, but Tuesday "Charlie" called to tell me he had examined the tree and believed it was worth trying to salvage. On Wednesday the work was done, and for a very good price. The estimate was $200 ?plus or minus $15?. The tree is propped and staked and straight now. Hopefully all will be well in the Spring.
Description of Work: Last fall a landscape company performed many thousands of dollars of work, including moving a valuable Japanese maple (12-14 feet tall) from one part of my yard to another. Two weeks ago a high speed auto chase ended in my yard - the recently transplanted maple was uprooted, the bark was damaged, and a branch was broken. My existing landscaper (NOT Eagle Creek) did exactly what he usually did when I called: didn’t respond to my calls in a timely manner.

We have used them for seven or eight years and they are very good. They have helped me identify the plants to put in and also put the plants in for me. They are very good about backing up the plants; so if any plant dies within the warranty period they are very quick to replace them, we have never had any problem there. They are very willing to work with us to whatever kind of specifications we have. They also maintain the yard and do a very nice job of it. We have been very pleased with their work.

I had never had mulch delivered. I ordered 4 yards. Eagle Creek called before delivering to verify where I wanted unloaded. When delivery arrived, the man said, "Oh, you've ordered too much." I was impressed that he took enough interest to advise me and deliver exactly the amount I needed. I had already paid for 4 yards and he could have easily just dropped off what I had ordered. He estimated half of what he had brought and gave me credit.

We had a lot of issues becoming a priority to Eagle Creek. We would call with concerns and they didn't seem to take them seriously. They planted several trees and shrubs that were half dead, and tried to tell us that they would perk up. Once they died completely, it took them a long time to replace them. Three bushes were removed that had died, and they did not fill the holes back in with dirt. Sink holes were created in their place. Also, without permission they pruned three neighborhood trees. They cut the main branch, so the trees will never grow up, only out. The trees look horrible and we will have to replace them on our own dime, since Eagle Creek did not originally install them. Also, we worked with Dennis to create the landscaping plan. I asked for several trees and plants, and he snubbed my ideas. For example, I wanted to plant a cherry tree out front. He stated that it wasn't a good idea because everyone had those. So, he planted some pathetic looking tree in front. Also, they planted three trees out back and they are so tiny, it will take at least a decade for them to even look substantial. They look like sticks in the ground! For the amount of money that we spent, we wanted to be able to trust that a company would be centered around quality and customer service. We are very disappointed.

Response from Eagle Creek Nursery & Landscape
- All phone calls were returned within 24 hours. - Any difference in price from the original estimate was due to changes and additions requested by the customer. - It was explained that due to the size of the area considered that there might be better choices than a weeping cherry but one was planted per the customer’s wishes. - There were no “half-dead” plants installed. The customer was told that some plants which became stressed due to drought needed some time to become established. All of our installed plant material is guaranteed for two years. - We planted 144 plants (not including ground cover) which are growing as well as can be expected given the soil quality in the area. - The 3 Arborvitae (bushes) had blown over twice and were straightened & staked at no charge. When they eventually died, the customer told us they were unsure of what they wanted to replace them with and to just remove them for now; otherwise we would have replaced these plants long ago. - Our maintenance crew did prune the three street trees (installed by the developer – not by us) without express permission because the top half of each tree was dead and it was the proper time of year to remove deadwood. The pruning did no additional harm to the trees but we do understand that this caused the customer some difficulty in getting the trees replaced by the developer. We apologized for this and told them we would be glad to write a letter or make a phone call on their behalf. It was left that they would let us know if they wanted us to follow up.
