Salt Box prepared a detailed plan on paper and went over it with us in detail. We had an opportunity to ask questions and request changes. Salt Box walked us around the nursery and showed us the plants that would be used and explained why. The work was a little late in being done but no big deal. The job was completed in one day. The crew was professional and thorough. They did exactly what they said they would do.
Description of Work: Removed all plantings in the front and on one side of our residence. Planted new shrubbery and mulched. Reseeded part of the lawn.

They are always dependable and accomodating. I also love to visit the garden center for seasonal needs. Always a professional and a pleasure to do business with.
Description of Work: I love them and I tend to be a bit particular. I use them twice a year to clean up planting beds, edge, refresh bark mulch and trim and prune trees and shrubs. Also used them for purchasing and planting trees and ideas and design for planting beds.

See above.
Description of Work: The provider gave an estimate for a small 130sq ft patio. The rep who came out was arrogant and was unwilling to offer affordable alternatives. The cost was 3600 when I paid 700 for the materials and ended up doing it myself. Whenever I have visited the nursery, noone ever checks to see if I need help. I stood in front of an employee waiting for help for 15 min. While she discussed something personal with a customer.

Had allowed trees and bushes to grow without serious pruning for twenty years. A tree was endangering utility lines to the house. Bushes and trees were blocking the view to the street and off the street parking. A person could not walk around the house without walking through bushes. Contractor bought a crew of about eight who cleared the property of bushes and trees within eight hours.
Description of Work: Removed trees and bushes on half an acre.

Salt Box is awesome. Our neighbors referred us to them. They had used Salt Box to landscape their yard, including some work to hide our yard from his. (Before we moved in, our yard was the eyesore on the block.) Doug at Salt Box worked with us for a full year (for free) planning things out before we started work. This planning involved tours of their nursery, drawings, visits in our yard marking stuff out in spray paint, and a steady focus on the final product's and quot;valueand quot; the whole way through. Doug really pushes two things: value and trust. As in, let's trust each other to get great value when he's done with his work. I've met a lot of contractors who have this philosophy; Doug and his team can actually back up their claims. He's also got contacts you can trust when you need stuff done that he doesn't do himself. We bought our house because it was the ugly one on the street. With Salt Box's help, we've turned the yard from a mess into a really nice place to be. There's still more to do and so there will be another review eventually. At the end of the day, I'm thrilled to have found Salt Box. I've recommended them to friends and I'm happy to serve as a reference for their work.
Description of Work: I've contracted with Salt Box twice in the last year as part of a phased plan to fix my yard. To date, we have done the following: 1) developed a master plan to completely overhaul my front and back yard. 2) Build a short brick walkway and concrete steps 3) plantings around the house (trees, shrubs, flowers) 4) lawn installation (replace a gravel pit with grass) 5) some minor grading

They are absolutely fantastic people. I do a lot of business with them. They stand behind their products. If something fails, they will help you. They are very nice people. Their prices are not the cheapest, but you get more for what you pay because of the help, guidance, and quality they provide. They have excellent quality. I usually give flowers to the people I do business with and I buy them there. They have some special offers at the end of the season, and they send cards to their customer with 20% discount. They are a very good company. They have been in this town for many years and run a nice business. They have never failed me, and I have never had any negative experience with them. They have always been positive. If something happens, they always try to solve it. They always do a nice job. Some people, I understand, are typical price people, and if you are looking for price then you don't want to go to Small Box. They are not very expensive either. Their prices are what it should be, and if you compare them to other nurseries, I would say they are right there and do a nice job for you. Their quality and responsiveness is excellent. They are very professional. I will shop at other places, but still I would buy something from there if I like it. There are the first place I go to.
Description of Work: I have a part time landscaping business, and I buy a lot of my products from Salt Box Nursery. I usually do most of my landscaping between May and November, and I used them last year during this time.
