He initially came out to see the area where we would be planting. He gave me multiple suggestions of trees/bushes for each location, all with varying price points as I was trying to work within a budget. After I made my decision about what to put in, he came out to place markers to location each location exactly then came back later and planted. It looks great. I feel that Cory does good business and really tries to keep his costs lower. He made the comment that he would not put anything in a customers yard that he would not put in his own yard (from a quality standpoint). I would definitely use him again.
Description of Work: Cory planted some bushes and a service berry.

Corey came to my house and he provided me ideas and pictures for holiday lighting. He and his crew spent a majority of the day installing holiday LED lighting along the roof line and greenery using regular mini lights on the outside of our ranch style home. It turned out beautifully. We had so many compliments it was easy to let them know Second Nature did the work. He stated if any lights burned out they'd be out to replace the burned out bulb. They came back after New Year's and removed it all to put in their storage for next holiday season. We would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting beautiful holiday lighting for their house.
Description of Work: Hung lighting along edge of roof line (front of house and along garage), hung 2 lit wreaths, wrapped lights around 2 tree trunks, and hung greenery with lights around pillars and front door with timers.

Workers arrived on time and worked continually for 3 days. Cory checked on progress frequently and made sure the job was done right. After removing the old steps, they formed the new landing and steps with foundation blocks. Next they added a base of stone and then sand for the pavers. The new landing and steps really add to the attractiveness of that side of the house. They cleaned up the area when finished and even did a few extras. We are very pleased with the results.
Description of Work: Removal of old timber-framed river rock walk and steps. Installation of new paver landing and steps further away from house to allow better landscaping. Stack old rocks under house overhang to give that area a more finished look.

They were very prompt, they came out and did the job in 1 day except for grinding the stumps - which they came back the next day to finish - they were very good on returning my phones calls, got the estimate in march and had the work done in may at our convenience. We were very pleased with the work.
Description of Work: Tree trimming, pruned trees, trimmed low limbs, picked up fallen limbers, and removed 2 dead scotch pine trees.

Basically we went to work one day came home and the job was done. They left a note on the door, and the bill came in the mail. They cleaned up well with no mess in the yard.
Description of Work: I talked to them last August and told them I wanted to be on the list in the spring for the mulch. When the company changed hands they still contacted me so I could still be on that list. They have been accommodating for me.

They gave us a very good price, made the scheduling easy and the firewood is very good. I have used it for several fires now and it is all well-seasoned hardwood.
Description of Work: We wanted to divide 3 ricks of wood between 4 families who lived close to each other. Because of the way we were placing the order and coordinating the delivery schedule they gave us a big break on the delivery charges. I would highly recommend them.

Many companies have an initial consultation fee and theirs was in-line with the several others. The person I talked to was very polite, and courteous but I decided to use another company for other reasons. In my experience, the consultation fee is usually charged to new customers.

Poorly...We told Michael that we wanted him to spend some time talking to us about ideas so we could interview him to see if it was a good fit as far as taste and approach. He came out and then contacted us wanting to know when we wanted to get started. We reiterated that this was an evaluation of their "fit" and he become irritated. He was not abusive or mean, but it was obvious that we were not on the same page. He had also missed our appointment, which was an inconvenience. My suggestion to anyone who contracts with them is to be very careful about communication and write down any discussions. I have no reason to believe he is dishonest, just unprofessional.
Description of Work: Asked him to come out and consult with us on an hourly basis so we could interview him.

Very nicely done. Work was scheduled several weeks ahead of time and done when promised. Terrific cleanup; the yard and surrounding areas looked great. Did additional mulching, at my request, at no additional charge after the area for the flower beds changed a little. Michael was very prompt in returning calls and in his overall follow through for the job. Michael's pricing was in line with others I talked to about the job.
Description of Work: Kill off grass and dig new flower beds in several areas. Mulch new beds and some existing flower beds. Michael had some other ideas for my yard as well that I may follow up with him on later.

They did a really good job. Price was fair. I had other quotes for cheaper, but they couldn't get to the job for a month or more. Michael's got it done quickly for me. He did an excellent job. I would recommend him over anyone.

Michael and his staff are a joy to work with. Michael sat down with us on several occasions to go over the plans and make sure we were all on the same page. He made recommendations as needed. It is obvious that he truly cares about his business and making sure the customer is happy with the final product. When any issues arose he and his staff always responded quickly. When weather got in the way of a scheduled work day we were always kept in the loop as to their next available window of opportunity. Working with Michael and his staff was a great experience and we recommend them highly.
Description of Work: The old concrete walkway was removed in the front of the house and replaced with a new paver walkway and landing area. The old wooden deck was torn out and replaced with a paver patio and stone benches. All the shrubs in the front of the house were removed and replaced with new mulched beds and shrubs. New mulched beds and shrubs were added to the back of the house to blend in with the new patio. All downspouts were buried and routed out into the yard to keep water away from the foundation. This fixed a water leak in our basement. A couple of trees and blue spruces were installed on the property along with arborvitaes for privacy. Sodding was done as needed. All existing trees were mulched.

He came and looked at the yard and measured what we wanted done and emailed us an estimate. He sent his men to do the yard to put the mulch down and they spent several hours working and cleaned out the garden and put mulch down. They also took a tree down that was falling over. His men were very nice and did an expert job and were careful that our dog didn't get out. They really did a good job.

Work was done on time and to my satisfaction, although I was disappointed that I'd not arranged for stumps to be removed or ground up. I didn't think to ask. However, the shrubs were cut very close to the ground so not a big problem. I was very pleased with the tree trimming. It's a huge tree, nicely shaped, but some branches were scraping up against siding and windows. I was worried about losing the nice shape, but the arborist did a great job.

They did not winterize it correctly so my valve froze. I let them know and they tried to blame it on me. They finally said they would come do the work but would have change a valve in my basement. They charged me an outrageous price, I was not willing to pay the full amount. He threatened me and said he would put a lean on my house. He was very unprofessional. I paid him for winterizing my system which did not happen so he refunded me that money but still charged me an outrageous price.

Response from SECOND NATURE LANDSCAPES & LIGHTING
WE WINTERIZED THE SYSTEM ON 11-21-06 CUSTOMER WAS CONTACTED IN APRIL 06 FOR START UP BUT DECLINED. CUSTOMER CALLED IN JUNE 06 SAID THEY HAD A LEAK. FROM THE TIME WE SHUT DOWN THE SYSTEM UNTIL WE WERE CALLED BACK SOMEONE ELSE HAD WORKED ON THE SYSTEM. AT THAT TIME IT COULD NOT BE DETERMINED EXACTLY WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. THERE WAS A BAD WATER GATE VALVE SHUT OFF IN THE CRAWL SPACE THAT FEEDS THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM WHICH WE REPLACED WITH A MORE RELIABLE BALL VALVE WHICH THEY WERE CHARGED FOR. THIS I BELIEVE WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. WHAT WAS LEAKING WAS NOT A VALVE BUT A BACK FLOW PREVENTION DEVICE WHICH WE REPLACED AT NO COST AND GAVE THEM A CREDIT FOR THE WINTERIZATION IN GOOD FAITH.
