Plantasia Landscaping

I am incredibly pleased with the results.. Ken, the owner, worked with us extensively over the winter and early spring to get us a plan that we were happy with. The job took about a week and a half, Ken was on site every day. Many days he was helping the crew. I took great comfort in this, knowing we worked so closely with him on the plan. The crew also paid close attention to insure the patio drained properly. I would recommend this company.

When Mr. Wieting, the owner of Plantasia Landscaping, came out to give us an estimate, it was June 11, 2015. He told us he could build a retaining wall and raise the bed up to make it more level. He also said that the soil was very poor and he would remedy that by putting in top soil. He said he would add some more plants to what was already there. His estimate was $4068.75. The work was supposed to start on July 29, 2015. We waited but no one showed.up. They came on Aug. 3rd. After the wall was finished, on Aug.6th they brought in the topsoil, They dumped it in the area covering about two thirds of the garden space. I tried to catch him on several occasions when he would stop by for a few minutes to see how the work on the wall was going, to ask him what plants would go where, but he was always in a hurry and didn't have time to sit down with me. Finally he drew me a rough drawing of his plan and emailed it to me. I called him the next day to make sure that the plants he had picked were hardy for my part shade garden and he assured me they were very hardy. I had done some research on the plants he suggested and liked the way they looked. On Aug. 7, Mr. Weiting and his crew came to plant the plants. Some of the plants were different than what we had agreed on. When they planted , there was no topsoil at the top of the garden where the cypress bushes were to go. When I questioned Mr. Weiting about what he had said was poor soil, he said that it looked fine. Within a week, after watering according to his instructions, the five cypress bushes were turning brown. I called Mr. Weiting and asked him to come out and look at them. Instead, he sent someone to take them out and bring them to his shop to inspect them because he said that he couldn't understand why that was happening. Within a week five new cypress were planted but he never informed us what he found. By the second week, these plants were also turning brown. My husband called twice asking Mr. Weiting to come look at them. He never returned our call. Instead, he sent a letter telling us that since he had replaced the initial plants he could not replace the second planting because in his opinion, it was not a good choice. I believe that Mr. Weiting did not prepare the soil that he called poor, for these plants to survive. Once Mr. Weiting was paid, there was no verbal communication from him.

It went extremely well. These people are pros. The nature of the work creates a lot of mess but Plantasia made a point of cleaning up at the end of every day. There was a great deal of excavating to begin with to establish the new walking paths. In order to save money, pavers were installed on top of concrete patio negating tearing it out. New plant material is beautiful. I would definitely use Plantasia again, and plan to.
