Hittle did a poor job on sodding the backyard. There were many gaps. They blamed it on me not watering it enough, although I soaked that sod because it was an expensive job. I asked for the job to be prepared and was told someone came out and took care of it. Yet, there was no sign of this occurring. I had also paid for sod in the front and it took so long for them to deliver it, I ended up asking for a refund. It was a poor experience all the way around.

Hittles never bothered to provide the quote that they said they would give us. Nor did anyone from Hittles bother to return our calls to tell us why they didn't get their quote to us in a timely fashion, or that they didn't want to, or couldn't, do the work. Nothing. Very unprofessional.
Description of Work: To begin with I had to make two phone calls before someone at Hittles could actually set up an appointment for an estimate on privacy fencing, and a cedar trellis for our existing patio. They arrived on time, were very nice and informative, and said they would get back to me with a quote. Then, after driving past several homes with vinyl fencing, we decided that vinyl was not the look we wanted. So I called Hittles to tell them that we had decided against vinyl, so only needed a quote on the cedar fencing, and to please call if they had any questions. Once again I had to leave a message because nobody answered the phone. We never heard from them, so we assumed they got the message, and we hopefully saved them some time. About two weeks later, after receiving quotes from two other contractors within three days of meeting with them by the way, I called Hittles to find out why we hadn't received their quote yet, and asked them to please give me a call as soon as possible because we wanted to move forward with the project. Once again I had to leave a message because nobody answered the phone, and we never heard from them. So I called another contractor for a third quote, which we promptly received, and we went with one of the other more responsive, and professional, contractors who not only wanted to do the work that we initially got quotes for, but also install the built-in stone gas grill station with storage, and counter space, that we were waffling on doing at the same time.

I'm sorry that you did not receive a quote, however I am not finding your information in our system and have no record of you contacting us. Is it possible that this review was meant for Hittle Construction instead of Hittle Landscaping? We are two separate companies. We do not perform fence installation, we provide landscaping services.

i reached out to them, after a week and a half their estimator contacted me about specifics so they could give me a quote, they said they could work with their sister company Hittle Construction to get a quote for the fence as well. Never heard back on the irrigation or fence proposal. Read reviews about poor communication between clients, and now i experienced it first hand.

Response from HITTLE LANDSCAPING INC
I'm very sorry that you had a negative experience with us. In our first email correspondence on 12/27/16, I explained that we do not install fencing and I provided you the contact information to Hittle Construction. The estimator that met with you offered to work with HC to provide you a quote, as a courtesy, but he was told that you were going to check with your HOA to find out what types of fencing were allowed in your neighborhood. He never heard back from you. Also in the email correspondence from 12/28/16, I did let you know that it could be the middle or the end of the following week before he could meet with you as we were closed for the holiday on Friday, Dec. 30th. With the Christmas holiday the week before, we were closed 2 days, there were several quotes ahead of yours that had to be addressed first. Again, I'm very sorry, but I feel this has simply been a miscommunication.
Hittle Landscaping was genuinely excellent. From the initial estimate to completion, the communication of the project, the details, the oversight and the work of the crews were first class in every dimension. In fact, the crews were very insightful in using their experiences to offer suggestions on design that were not originally considered by us. Having worked with many contractors, we truly appreciated the communication...what was going to occur, when it was going to occur and who was going to do the work.
Description of Work: We did a patio extension with a fire pit, and a sitting wall

Hittle landscaping has excellent custom service. We bought 10 trees from them back in late 2014 and one of them was completely dead recently. As this tree started to show problem in the late summer last year, we called them and wondered if they could replace it. They came back right away after our phone call and dug out the old tree and planted a new tree. Their manager Scott is very nice, knowledgeable, and very professional. He also gave us useful tips on tree care. We are very thankful for their quality work.

They put sod in front yard, very bad experience, a lot big gaps. I called their manager the day they come to complain and it does not help. The worker ignored my request. My entire neighborhood was contracted to hitter, and NO single house looks good. All my neighbors do not like them. Terrible service!!!!

Hittles did an excellent job overall, and we are highly satisfied with how the yard turned out. They were cheaper than two other estimates, presented us with the best design for our yard, and they were veryprofessional at all times. Their design consultant was creative and helpful, and adjusted the plan as we went along according to our wants/needs. A year after installation, we had one maple tree and some small perennials that had died (it was en extremely dry/hot summer), and they replaced them promptly for free, no questions asked. We also had a pine tree with a very crooked trunk, which they staked and tied; six months later it looked fine. We have received many compliments from our neighbors--who all have extremely nice, established landscaping themselves--and we could not be happier. We plan to use Hittles again next year, when we plan to put in a patio and fire pit.
Description of Work: Hittles designed and installed landscaping for our new home's entire property, including trees, shrubs, perennials, and full grass sod.

We bought a house from a previous owner who apparently had done little to no landscaping work over a number of years. The living plants were overgrown, and the beds were thick with dead shrubbery and other plants. Hittle did a nice job of cleaning it all out and removing the debris. It was pricey, but in line with the two other quotes I got. (I chose Hittle even though the quote was a little higher than the others in part because they do all the landscaping work for my subdivision, which always looks good. I figured they'd do a good job, and they did.)

I was pleased with everything they did. The only issue I had and it was not really their issue was they were building a house next door to me so they could not complete my landscaping until that house was complete, but as soon as the house was completed, they came back and finished everything. Over the winter that we had, I had a few things that died. They were very responsive, came out, and replaced all those in the spring this year. I would definitely recommend them. I think they do really good quality work. The price was pretty competitive. I had compared them to almost other people.
Description of Work: When I moved down, I have used Hittle Landscaping to do my landscaping. They did the landscaping for the entire house. In addition to that, they built a fire pit for me, a privacy wall, and a sitting wall around my fire pit.

There was nothing wrong with the sod work or the bushes or trees. The hydroseeding, they did it on a day where it completely washed away. I was never able to get any satisfaction, they said that there was no warranty with any landscaping work. I've had to over-seed over 4 or 5 times myself after this, and I never really did hear back from Hittle to even re-seed whether or not it was hydraseeding.

Hittle did a great job of installing the sod, seed, and installing the irrigation system. The coverage for the system is top notch and it works great NOW. Our biggest issue was with any follow up we had. It took multiple emails and calls to get anybody back out to run my through how the irrigation system worked. There wound up being a couple of sprinkler heads that needed to be fixed or adjusted, and again, it took multiple contacts to get somebody to come out and fix them. Once somebody came out to the house, they were very professional and fixed everything correctly the first time. Our real issue was with our patio designer. We first called them in November of 2012 to talk about designed an outdoor living space and patio for our newly constructed home. The decision was to wait until the home was closer to being finished to design everything. We met with our designer and talked about and even gave her pictures of what we were looking to do in February. We were told it would take a 4-6 weeks before our design would be ready. Since we have a new house, we found out it was best to wait a full year to build anyway, so we were not in a hurry. After about 6 weeks, we contacted the designer and she said it would be ready in a week. Two weeks later we got the same response. Two weeks later we got the same response. The patter continued until i finally asked for a refund, which we did recieve. We will now hire a different company to design and build our new patio. I would not recommend using HIttle and we would not use Hittle again. I am afraid that if you use them they will not get things done on time unless you keep calling and emailing them.
Description of Work: Hittle was the landscaper for our newly built home and did our seed and sod (part of the house price), but we also hired them to install our irrigation system and to design our outdoor patio.

It did not go well. I was very disappointed. I would not use them or recommend them to anyone else.
Description of Work: I contacted Hittle's for hardscaping services. I met with the designer. She came to my home and promised me a design and in 2 weeks. A month went by and I did not hear from her. I called and she made a list of excuses for not completing the design on time. Another 2 weeks went by and the design was completed. Unfortuantely the estimate came in at twice the amount I told her I could pay.

We work with Dave at Hittle and have used them for about two years now. Their crew does an excellent job in maintaining our lawn and does all the fertilizer as well. We also used them for snow removal this past winter and they are super prompt and do a great work. We are also planning on using them to do a little more landscaping this year around the house. We had great experience with them and definitely would recommend them.

We has seen Hittle at an event at the Indianapolis Fairgrounds. When it was determined by another contractor that our drainage system needed to be reconfigured, we gave Hittle a call. Dustin and Justin both came to consult and give an estimate. They were very professional and knowledgeable. We decided to go with Hittle. During the course of the work, which was spread out over several weeks (weather did not help) you sometimes had to call a few times to get a response, but they ultimately got the project done. It looks great and our sump pump hardly ever runs now but it ran constantly prior to the work. We were pleasantly surprised that the price for the sod that was laid had been factored into other elements of the project!!
Description of Work: It's hard to explain. The company dug trenches, buried drainage tubes, regraded the beds in front of the house to run water away from the house, ripped out tree roots from trees that had been removed previously and installed sod on the areas that had been affected by the work.
