I CHOSE ANOTHER LANDSCAPING COMPANY FOR THE WORK, BUT WOULD CONSIDER SHORTER'S AGAIN.
Description of Work: 2/25/05 MR SHORTER RETURNED MY CALL AND CAME OUT RIGHT AWAY TO TALK TO ME. HIS WAS THE FIRST ESTIMATE I RECEIVED. I THINK IT WAS A LITTLE HIGH ($4900), BUT I APPRECIATED HIS INPUT AND IDEAS.

ARTHUR WAS PROFESSIONAL AND VERY PLEASANT. THEY DID A MAJOR OVERHAUL OF MY MESSY YARD. THE BACK WAS A JUNGLE AND THE FRONT WAS WEED FILLED. ARTHUR MADE SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT TO USE TO BEST KEEP THE WEEDS DOWN. PEOPLE ACTUALLY DROVE BY AND COMMENTED ON THE WORK ARTHUR AND HIS CREW DID. I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT HOW GRATEFUL I AM TO ARTHUR AND HIS HARDWORKING CREW. HE IS COMING BACK TO CLEAN MY GUTTERS AND I WILL USE HIM FOR ALL MY YARD WORK IN THE FUTURE.

HE QUOTED AN ESTIMATE, BUT I THINK HE JUST QUOTED TO LOW, BECAUSE THERE ARE A COUPLE OF LOW SPOTS. I MAY NEED TO HAVE MORE SOIL BROUGHT IN. I WAS SATISFIED WITH WHAT HE DID.

ARTHUR SHORTER CAME TO MY HOME AND GAVE ME A VERBAL QUOTE IMMEDIATELY AFTER LOOKING AT THE JOB TO BE DONE. WHEN DIGGING UP THE INVASIVE PLANTS, HIS STAFF MEMBERS WERE CAREFUL NOT TO HARM THE HEALTHY PLANTS AROUND THE INVASIVE PLANT. AFTER THE JOB WAS FINISHED, THEY CLEANED UP VERY WELL. ARTHUR AND HIS STAFF WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND COURTEOUS.
Description of Work: FILLED IN A LARGE HOLE,(LEFT FROM POOL REMOVAL) WITH DIRT AND LAID STRAW AND GRASS SEED. REMOVED THREE INVASIVE PLANTS; ALSO, REPLACED A DEAD SHRUB WITH A NEW SHRUB.
