Good Nature Inc

So glad I chose Good Nature, Inc. to do a general clean up of my front yard. Last week their crew completed the job in an hour. They were very kind and hard workers who asked appropriate questions and didn't mind answering my questions. They redefined bed edges, applied pre-emergent, sprayed weeds, installed mulch, trimmed shrubs and two lower tree canopies. I love the finished project and definitely will call them as needed in the future! Thank you Good Nature!

There was email and phone communication. The rain kept interrupting the work, but they kept at it. I felt they involved me in the process from the original idea of how to change a large 2 deck, 2 level area into a concrete patio and pavers area within our price range.

Wonderful job. Very professional. Good design and choices. Done very quickly and very well.

Perfect, all prestige from start to finish.designed my landscaping and worked closely with the fence company

They do a general cleanup, they edge the beds and do mulch and trim bushes and clean out the beds. Mulching and edging is primarily what they do. It's a husband and wife that own and run the company. They're very responsive. They're just lovely people to work with. My yard looks good when they're done. They've done this for me multiple years and they're good about touching base with me, as far as, "It's time to schedule spring cleanup work, do you want to be put on the schedule?" and then they will contact me later, "How was everything?" In the middle of summer, "Do you need anything done?" I own a piece of property where they go out and weedwhack it for me periodically and they remember to call me, because I'm terrible about telling them. It's good they get hold of me, but they don't badger me. Tracy has got the right timing on it. They're probably a little more expensive than other places I could get.

I had an old irrigation system that had not been updated or adjusted in some years. They came and fixed broken heads, moved some sprinklers, and spring started the system. I was not home when they performed the work. I opened my garage so they could get to the controller. By the time I came home everything was complete. I could not even tell they had moved some of the sprinkler heads in my yard. I am not sure how they were able to not damage any of my yard in the process but they didn't! The system works great now. I had no idea my system was working so lousy until they fixed it and I could see the difference. These type of companies are extremely busy this time of the year and many I called did not even respond back. I appreciated that they have responded to each of my contacts with them.

Went very well, I had a question about an error light on our irrigation dashboard and they were quick to respond. They were a little more expensive than the prior company I used, however, the other company failed to submit the backflow test on our behalf and also had issues with billing. Would definitely use again, solid service, great communication and did exactly what they committed to do.

Good Nature and their crew do an outstanding job, which is why I continue to use them year after year for all my yard and landscaping needs. They not only do my spring clean-up, they also do my irrigation, landscape lighting and have installed most of my landscaping, designed and built my patio and IPE Wood Deck, and later they buildt my covered backyard pavillion. Steve Hiner (the owner) is great to work with, has a terrific eye for design detail, and know what works. His crew is outstanding. Highly recommended!

Steve and his crew did a great job. They were punctual, thorough, professional, and easy to work with. The crew building the fire pit was receptive to our concerns and changes during the project. After completion, there was an issue with the construction and the crew came back and fixed the problem within a few days. We would recommend Steve and Good Nature for Landscaping services.

After agreeing to sell me a fence Steve wrote up a formal contract to ensure both his and my security. At that point nether one of us could back out of the deal. The terms were written by him including half the money up front, in addition to a delivery fee and the other half upon delivery. Steve then had the audacity to sell the fence, out from under me, in 2 hours before our arranged meeting time to someone else. He then proceeded to make an attempt to refund my money. Needless to say I refused the money and Steve and I will end up in small claims. Steve bragged how he is 14-0 in small claims; and quot;I am 14-0 in small claims court. I have had to get a judge to make people do the right thing before.and quot; Steve is a very greedy and selfish individual. His initial demeanor appears genuine but his commitment, respect, and ethics are questionable at best. With a huge number of landscaping companies on Angieslist don't risk your time or finances on this company. I now must wait 2 months before a court date and settlement before ordering new products that take a minimum of 3-4 weeks. Summer will be over in order to get my project completed. Angieslist is a great tool for the reason to tell others to STAY AWAY!!!

This was our second year using Good Nature, and we are very pleased again. They are more expensive than others we have hired for mulching, but their work is completely worth it. We have quite a lot of mulch and a heavily landscaped yard. They clean up and edge all the beds, put down pre-emergent, trim bushes, put down the mulch, clean everything up, and leave the yard looking beautiful.

Steve came out to our home and provided a detailed design of landscaping, lighting, fire pit, deck, etc. The plan is outstanding, but our budget wouldn't support everything in a single year. So he worked with us to maximize our budget and piece some various elements together to make sure we could enjoy the summer months with just part of his design (to finish next year). The installation was on time and the crew was very professional. They cleaned up after themselves (never knew they were on the driveway, in the road, etc.). We are very happy with the quality and have received many comments from neighbors on the design. I would highly recommend Good Nature for any landscaping project. They were a little more pricey than other quotes we received, but I am much happier with his design/product choices (cedar vs pine and 6x6 posts vs 4x4 posts).

We have used Good Nature in the past and have always found their work to be exceptional. We recently took down a number of trees in our backyard with the intent of seeding the area in order to grow grass. We also have a large wooded area in our backyard and wanted to extend our lawn into that area. Much of our backyard was mulched with a number of bushes, large rocks, etc. so we knew it would be a project to get the lawn ready to be seeded. We called Good Nature and Steve was out within a couple of days to give us a quote, which we found to be very reasonable. The following Monday they were out to perform the work. Within the day they removed all the old mulch, moved all the bushes and rocks to new locations and cleared out about 5 more feet from our woods. They leveled the whole lawn and planted the grass seed. Good Nature had previously installed our irrigation system so Steve and Jay worked together to make sure our system supported the new grassy area. I think it is important to note the care Steve's crew took in removing and replanting the bushes that were no longer needed in our backyard. This way we can use them again as we landscape around our wooded area. Doing this saved perfectly good bushes and some money for us!

Last fall we contacted three highly rated Angie's List providers about solving a problem of a back lawn that was so steep and difficult to access that it was impossible and even dangerous to mow. All three bidders proposed removing the grass and then terracing the slop with retaining walls. All three bidders drew slightly varying, but equally complex plans for doing this job. The first two bids were within $500 of one another in price and included using man-made concrete based materials. When asked why the bids were so high for a space so small, each answered that the problem was that there would be no easy way to get materials from the front of our house to the lake side without negotiating the very deep slope. Labor was the and quot;killer.and quot; (We even explored the possibility of hiring a barge to bring in stone and take out dirt.) Steve of Good Nature was our third and final bidder. We showed him the problem area, expecting similar concerns.He commented that landscaping is always hard labor, which is one reason why people are hired todo the work. He saw no special problem with our job. He drew a plan which involved using natural stone and when the bid came in it was just over half the other two companies' bids! Good Nature's crew was prompt, courteous, hardworking and meticulous. They trimmed the tree and shrubs that were to remain, moved some perrenial plants that could be reused in other places, dug footings and removed many wheelbarrowsful of sod and dirt. They then began cutting stone and building a walk along the seawall, stairway (to the hose outlet) and retaining walls on both sides of the steps and backfilling the retaining wall. They then removed a 40 ft pine that had been planted too close to the house and had begun encroaching on the foundation, removed its stump and the chips from that and took away all debris. The installed new downlighting along the wall and uplighting through the tree and laid down redwood mulch through all of the area that they'd worked on,leaving us with a beautiful pallet on which to paint a softscape of annuals and perennials come spring. We could not be happier with Good Nature Inc--one of the best AL listees we've ever worked with! WE HAVE BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS TO GO WITH THIS, BUT I COULD SEE NO WAY TO UPLOAD THEM!

Our initial contact with Good Nature was on a quote for landscaping; however, we went with a different option. But we liked Steve Hiner and approached Good Nature for a quote on a paver patio. Tracy from Good Nature quickly set up the appointment, and Steve was very helpful in assisting us in approaching the project and giving us some helpful ideas. We were so pleased we went ahead and hired Good Nature to do the job. They came very quickly to pour the concrete base slab, and when the paver supplier couldn't meet us Steve readily agreed to meet us on a Saturday. He was very patient and helpful in walking us through the various pavers and patterns. A few days later Good Nature came out and installed the pavers. All told we are thrilled with the paver patio. Very good workmanship, a fair price (Steve even waived an upgrade fee on one item), clean and prompt service, and more important, the whole crew really seemed to care about the project. It was a pleasure to deal with Good Nature, especially Tracy and Steve, and will use them again for any landscaping needs we may have in the future.

Good Nature was very good to work with. They are really knowledgeable, and offered great suggestions. I'm definitely happy with the outcome of their work. In fact, I have upcoming projects on the horizon, and I plan on calling them back.

I liked that they were very meticulous, the yard looked very manicured when they were done.

They were punctual, worked diligently, and stayed within estimate.

They are a local company and located close by and that is why I went with them. They are overpriced and not that responsive. I will not use them again. Their customer service was poor.

Our experience with this company was very good. They also do what they say they would do, and were also prompt and professional. We have had no problems. Their pricing was fair, but we had now any other people bid. We had stopped using them last year, but would still consider them in the future.

Project completed while I was away. Returned home to manicured landscape with no debris. Happy-happy.

I had a fall clean-up done on my irrigation system. It included removal of leaves from the gutter, and not just reorganization. They’ve also done a couple of specific projects for me. We are very pleased with them because they are very responsive and reasonably priced. Steve, the owner came over last week to give us an estimate for some landscaping work. He is pretty good about giving ballpark figures that match my expectations.

I can't describe how happy I was to come home and find my edging and mulching done to such perfection. It was so immaculate there wasn't even a piece of mulch lying on any of the perennials. My neighbor told me he was really impressed with how carefully one of the men worked putting down mulch behind bushes where no one will even see it. I will recommend this company to anyone.

It went great, Steve was really good about calling back, very patient with us as this was a huge decision and amount of money for us. He continued to redraw plans as our ideas changed, he would check in every day either when his crew (who were very professional and very friendly) would arrive personally or via telephone. The speed that they worked was amazing. In a week's period our yard went from a mud pit to something that could be in a magazine. Good Nature wasn't the cheapest, but with a project of this size the last thing we wanted was to base our decision on price. Steve is very engaging, great at asking questions, and uncovering needs and wants. He did a great job of explaining his design and justifying why he put something in one place etc... After the work was done we were almost in shock at what our yard had become. It was amazing.
