Sundown Gardens

Landscaping, Lawn and Yard Work, Tree Service,

About us

80 +/- employees. Cost is determined by the job. Sub-contractors used on select projects. Earl and Dorothy Knapp started Sundown Gardens in 1949 by specializing in growing peonies and perennials for retail sales. They grew and cultivated plant material as cut flowers for purchase. In 1966, Stevan Knapp, Earl and Dorothy’s only child, started the landscape division. To complete the full-service lawn and garden package, Sundown Gardens offered a landscape maintenance service in 1993. The service provides landscaping, hardscape and lawn services. To this day, the service customizes groundskeeping plans for client properties primarily throughout Indianapolis and surrounding areas, including but not limited to: Zionsville, Carmel, Westfield, Fishers and Geist. In 1995, Dorothy and Stevan retired and a few long-standing employees took leadership of the company. The current owners, along with a dedicated team of knowledgeable and skilled experts, continue the Sundown Gardens tradition of expert knowledge coupled with quality installation and top-tier customer service. In January 2016 Sundown Gardens moved to its new location at: 505 West 186th Street, Westfield, IN 46074, at the corner of Springmill Road and 186th Street. OFFICE HOURS: MONDAY-FRIDAY 9-5 OR BY APPOINTMENT. RETAIL CENTER HOURS: VARY DEPENDING ON SEASON PLEASE CALL FOR CURRENT RETAIL CENTER HOURS (317)846-0620.

MIKE IS AN INCREDIBLY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND WELL SPOKEN INDIVIDUAL TO WORK WITH IN LANDSCAPE DESIGN. WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO HIM DIRECTLY AND LEARN FROM HIM AS AN EXPERT. HE WAS VERY GRACIOUS AND COURTEOUS IN HIS SUGGESTIONS AS OPPOSED TO SALESY AND PUSHY. I REALLY ENJOYED HEARING HIS VISION FOR OUR PROPERTY. LATER THAT WEEK, HE CONTACTED US AND SET UP AN APPTMT. TO MEET WITH US AGAIN AT THE NURSERY TO DISCUSS HIS DRAWINGS AND TO SHOW US SOME OF THE PLANTINGS HE'D RECOMMENDED. HE SPENT A LOT OF QUALITY TIME WITH US EDUCATING US ON WHAT DOES WELL IN OUR AREA AND HOW THOSE PLANTINGS WOULD FIT INTO THE DESIGN. OUR PLAN INCLUDED WIDENING MULCH BEDS, MOVING SPRINKLER HEADS, NEW TREES, SHRUBS AND PLANTS, BURYING DOWNSPOUTS, AND REMOVAL OF MANY CURRENTLY PLANTED ITEMS. I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT HOW GOOD A JOB MIKE DID. WE WILL DEFINITELY BE WORKING WITH MIKE AND WITH SUNDOWN.
Description of Work: MIKE MCDANIEL CAME OUT AND MET WITH MY HUSBAND AND I, AND DREW UP AN ELABORATE LONG TERM PLAN FOR OUR NEW HOME'S PROPERTY IN THE WAY OF MULCH BEDS, PLANTINGS, ETC.

HE HELPED US TO KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY REMOVE A 4 YEAR OLD BURNING BUSH AND REPLACE IT WITH A BOXWOOD. JOB 2: A VERY GOOD LANDSCAPING COMPANY, ALWAYS HELPFUL AND CONSIDERATE. THEY CAREFULLY EXPLAIN CARE OF VEGETATION WHEN ASKED.

OUR FOREMAN WAS JOE, AND HE WAS PHENOMENAL TO WORK WITH. HE WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND TO SEE TO IT THAT THE JOB WAS DONE TO OUR LIKING, AND NEVER SEEMED PUT OUT WHEN WE ASKED FOR SOMETHING TO BE CHANGED AFTER IT HAD BEEN DONE. WE HAD A NIGHTMARE WITH OUR IRRIGATION SUBCONTRACTOR AND SUNDOWN WORKED VERY HARD TO FIX THE PROBLEMS THEY CREATED IN AS TIMELY A MANNER AS POSSIBLE AND WERE VERY COMPASSIONATE ABOUT OUR INCONVENIENCE.
Description of Work: PERFORMED LANDSCAPING AFTER WE ADDED A POOL AND ROOM ONTO OUR HOUSE. INCLUDED NEW TREES, PERENNIALS, SOD, MULCHING, GRADING, IRRIGATION AND POOL LIGHTING.

MIKE MCDANIEL WAS VERY HELPFUL IN GETTING US WORKED INTO THEIR BUSY SCHEDULE. WE MOVED INTO OUR HOUSE IN JULY AND THE YARD NEEDED SOME QUICK ATTENTION. MIKE CAME OUT AND WENT OVER WHAT WE WANTED AND MADE SEVERAL SUGGESTIONS FOR THIS "FIRST ROUND" OF LANDSCAPING, AS WELL AS SOME THING TO CONSIDER FOR THE FUTURE. HE THEN SCHEDULED THREE GUYS TO COME OUT AND PERFORM THE WORK-- THEY ENDED UP COMING ON THE HOTTEST DAY OF THE YEAR AND WORKED HARD FOR AN ENTIRE DAY TO MAKE OUR YARD LOOK GREAT. THEY DID A WONDERFUL JOB AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.
Description of Work: CLEANED OVERGROWN LANDSCAPE (INCLUDING WEEDING, EDGING, TRIMMING BUSHES, AND MULCHING); REMOVED AND REPLACED TWO DEAD BUSHES; OVERSEEDED PORTIONS OF LAWN AS NEEDED; PLANTED ADDITIONAL IVY TO FILL IN BEDS; REMOVED IVY FROM TWO LARGE TREES.

THERE ARE GENERALLY BROWN SPOTS ON THE LAWN SHORTLY AFTER FERTILIZATION. I THINK THAT TOO MANY GRANULES ARE LEFT IN CERTAIN PLACES, WHICH CAUSES THIS PROBLEM.

THE WORK WAS VERY WELL DONE. THE CREW CAME AROUND 8:30 AND THEY PUT IN A FULL 8 HOURS OF WORK. THEY WERE QUIET AND NEAT. THEY ASKED IF THEY WERE UNSURE OF ANYTHING THAT I MIGHT WANT TO KEEP. THE FOREMAN WALKED AROUND WITH ME TO GO OVER THINGS DURING AND AFTER THE WORK WAS COMPLETE. WE WERE PLEASED WITH THE WORK. HOWEVER, I DO FEEL THAT THE PRICE WAS A LITTLE HIGH.
Description of Work: SUNDOWN WAS CONTRACTED TO TRIM 6 TREES, TRIM SHRUBS AROUND THE HOUSE, CLEAN OUT ALL THE BEDS AROUND THE HOUSE, PUT IN FILL DIRT IN A LOW AREA, SPRAY A PRE-EMERGENT FOR WEEDS, AND PUT DOWN MULCH. FIVE PEOPLE PERFORMED THE WORK THAT TOOK ALL DAY.

WE HAVE HAD SUNDOWN FOR LAWN AND TREE/SHRUB TREATMENT FOR APPROXIMATELY 8 YEARS. WHENEVER WE'VE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE LAWN OR QUESTIONS ON TREES, THEY HAVE ALWAYS HAD SOMEONE OUT WITHIN A DAY OR SO TO CONSULT AND IF NEEDED, RE-TREAT. ONE SPRING WE HAD A WEEPING CRAB THAT HAD BUGS WORSE THAN USUAL. THEY CAME OUT AND SPRAYED AT LEAST 3 TIMES WITH NO EXTRA CHARGE. THEY ARE VERY REASONABLY PRICED, AND HAVEN'T RAISED OUR PRICES OVER THE YEARS. THEY ALSO SUPPLIED AND PLANTED SEVERAL OF OUR TREES WHEN WE BUILT, AND DID AN EXCELLENT JOB THEN AS WELL.

I MOVED IN MY HOME LAST YEAR. I WANTED SOMEONE TO SERVICE MY WATERFALLS AND POND. THE SERVICE WAS VERY POOR. TO GET THE LANDSCAPING WORK DONE YOU HAD TO TALK TO THREE DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND THEY HAD VERY POOR COMMUNICATION SKILLS. NOTHING WAS EVER TOLD TO THE OTHER COWORKERS. THEY ONCE CUT OUT MY TELEPHONE LINES AND CABLE LINES AND NEVER TOLD US ABOUT IT. I CANCELED MY SERVICE CONTRACT WITH THEM.
