Naturescape

Naturescape had installed and has serviced our irrigation system for the last 3 years. Never a problem.

The work was spectacular and it looks great. Was a little issue with the timing, but he got overwhelmed by Angie's List people responding to his offer. I'd use again, fine work at a fair price I thought.

Naturescape paved two walkways leading to my home. They were very professional and did an excellent job.

Bob was easy to talk to and he understood what we had in mind very quickly. What we suggested he took and creatively replaced our patio with a design which was exactly what we had in mind - even better. He accommodated us as far as our time was concerned and he showed up when we were ready and had the job done and cleaned up when he said it would. Can't ask for more than this. We are happy everyday day when we drive up or walk out and see our patio.

Bob came to my house to look at the yard when I first purchased the coupon. I decided to have tree removal work done first. A few months later in the beginning of September, I called to have the work finally done. He was very, very slow to respond to my emails. I sent multiple pictures to him of the work area. After weeks of waiting for any type of plan, I finally gave up and requested a refund. Seems like a nice guy but didn't seem too interested in doing the work.

Everything went great. He fit me in to tight schedule, everyone worked diligently, I couldn't be happier. And I'm already planning the next project.

The job ended up looking gorgeous and the owner was a very nice person. He seemed very busy and it was difficult to get an appointment.

This is the second project that Naturescape has done for us. The work was, once again, timely and impeccable! We will be hiring them to do some work at our parents' home this Spring. Very impressive operation!

It was a great experience from the beginning to the end of the project. Extremely courteous. Everything came out beautiful and I would definitely recommend this company.

The project went very well. The quality of the work beat my expectations. I found Naturescape here on Angies, checked out pics on their website and facebook page. Contacted Bob, the owner, he came out to my house in a couple days to discuss my project and provided a detailed estimate a few days later. His estimate was right in the middle of a few others I received. I ending up going with Naturscape not because of the good estimate but because of Bob, his eye for detail and the quality of work. During our initial meeting, he provided great ideas, showed me examples of similar projects he had done and walked me through his entire process for a project of my scope. He provided great communication throughout the entire project, letting me know next steps, start times, daily expectations and any issues that arose. He was completely open and honest to any tweaks and add-ons made during the project. Overall, everything was completed within the expected time frame and the quality of work from hardscaping to landscaping was truly amazing. I definitely plan on working with Bob on any future landscaping/hardscaping projects. The work speaks itself (see my pics) and Bob's process and communication are best I've experienced, bar none. DETAILED SCOPE OF WORK INSTALLED: ? 2 x 2 x 40 foot, curved retaining wall, that runs from my garage foundation, along the edge my driveway to the steps of my front walk and then further along the other side of the steps.

We had been looking to hire a contractor for the past couple of years to do several landscape projects on our property. I received several estimates from other local landscape companies and had actually hired two of them who inexplicably proved to be no-shows. I discovered Naturescapes on Angie?s list and contacted owner Bob Whyte to receive estimates for the work we were looking to get done. Rarely do you find a dedicated, customer oriented and honest contractor like Bob Whyte. Bob came out and spent a great deal of time evaluating and planning the work that we wanted done and we received his estimates with-in a few days of his visit via e-mail. The estimates clearly detailed the work to be done and the materials required, sample pictures were provided of previous Naturescapes projects that were similar to what we were looking for. Bob pointed out drainage and design issues that none of the other contractors we contacted took note of. His pricing was equal to or lower than the other estimates we had received. Work began during the agreed upon time frame. Bob and his crew are craftsman at their trade. Extremely hard working, they arrived on time, and the attention they gave to the project customer was exceptional. We originally hired them to install stairs and a paver patio off of our walk-out basement. Once we saw the quality and value of the workmanship we knew we had found a contractor we could continue to work with. Over the next several weeks we hired Naturescapes to do several other projects: Our property had a cement and cobblestone circular driveway that had been poorly installed by the previous owners and had become an eyesore. Naturescapes assisted with the demolition of the driveway and installed a serpentine paver walkway in its place. The remainder of the drive was eliminated and was loomed and seeded. Flowers and shrubs were planted along the walkway. Next an old, undersized deck off of the sunroom was demolished and a patio, walkway and granite stairs were installed matching the design that Naturescapes had completed on the walk out patio and stairs. A flower garden was installed next to the sunroom that ties into the walkway. The final job was the removal of a pressure treated lumber retaining wall and cement staircase at the end of the driveway. The asphalt driveway was end cut into a curve shape and a hand fitted field stone wall with granite steps was constructed that connected to the walkway leading to the patio. During all phases of this work underground electrical conduit needed to be installed or rerouted. Irrigation heads had to be added or relocated. PVC pipe was installed under the walkways to allow for any future expansion of the irrigation or electrical requirements. Drainage was routed underground to eliminate unsightly drainpipes and drain covers. Colored stucco was applied to unsightly cement retaining walls. Loam and seed was put down in the required areas. Naturescapes has a team of professions that provided all of these services. I did a fair amount of nit-picking and continually piled on the work and despite all the other construction projects that Naturescapes had going on this summer, they some how managed to complete all that I had requested. Obviously, we are extremely happy with the quality of the work and the cost, these improvements made an amazing difference in our property. Bob and his crew are extremely polite and courteous, always asking if the work was to our satisfaction or if we wanted anything changed. Bob answered all phone calls and text messages almost immediately, and he continuously followed up as the work progressed. Hire him.

The work was delayed because he has been extremely busy. He did call us to inform us of the delays and although we were anxious to get it done we waited paiently. He came on October 11, 2013 and performed the job efficiently and quickly. Even though it was delayed it was well worth the wait. He gave his personal attention to the job and his men were polite and hard working. I have no complaints and do realize that my job was small and he had other much bigger jobs to handle. We are very happy with the result and of course my relatives love the way it all looks. The granite stairs and pavement are beautiful and will be maintenance free which is what we wanted.

We were very pleased with our experience with Naturescape, They were professional, suggested great ideas, understood what we wanted to accomplish and got it done very efficiently. Bob Whyte was very responsive when we called with questions and very informative. If we have future work, Naturescape would be the first ones we call.

Naturescapes did a wonderful job at our house. This was a rather large project, and we were amazed at how quickly and efficiently the work was completed. Naturescape even coordinated with other contractors working at our property to make everything go as smoothly and efficiently as possible. The outcome was PERFECT! They are really on top of their game. Highly recommend.

I purchased the paver stone special (50 sq ft for $399.00, plus an additional $100.00 excavation fee) through Angie's List. Bob Whyte, the owner of Naturescape, responded right away with a message via Angie's List, and we made an appt for him to come over the following Saturday to discuss the project. Originally I wanted to use pavers for the entire driveway, but Bob was honest in letting me know just how expensive that would be - way out of my price range. Instead, he suggested, and I agreed, that a paver stone walkway and a hard-packed gravel/stone driveway might better suit my budget. The final result is beautiful, a 1000% improvement over the old walkway/driveway area, which had consisted of overgrown weeds, dirt and scattered loose granite remains of a very old driveway. The work was completed in a professional and timely manner and, although I had paid Angie's List upfront for the paver special, Bob didn't ask for any additional funds upfront for the much more expensive driveway project ($2000). I didn't pay anything more until the entire job was completely finished. I would recommend Naturescape to anyone needing this kind of work.

Showed up on time, completed work as scheduled. Men were professionals and we could tell right away they were excellent at their work. Work during the entire job was very neat and orderly. These guys knew what they were doing!!

Communication was poor, I had to initiate each e-mail. Bob Whyte is very nice but too busy to accept another project. If I received an email just stating he was busy but didn't forget about me, I would have more confidence in the provider.

Bob White, the owner of Naturescape, was a pleasure to work with. He took time to understand what we wanted and gave good advice on prioritizing the projects we want to do in the future. He also helped us find a good tree removal service at a very fair price. Naturescape removed the stumps. His guys were polite, detail oriented and FAST. It took 1.5 days to do all the work - and we have a very long driveway and had many, many stumps and boulders to remove. I highly recommend them and will use them again in the future.

I have submitted for a refund. He was a nice gentleman, but I think he has a hard time doing it all. Clearly by the work I have seen, he does care about his craft and reputation. This is just one of those cases where he probably had too much on the plate. I saw another review mention... timeline. I'm not sure what I discussed with Bob on that matter. I certainly wanted a walkway before the cold weather shows up. My wife has slipped once a year on our sloped approach to the house.

The work was impeccable and the project went flawlessly. Don't waste your time trying to decide which contractor to hire for your hardscape needs - this is the company you want!

Bob Whyte came out on a Saturday (he forgot about the first appt he had with me) an gave an estimate for the job to be completed an said he would be back first week of September. It is now October 1st an Bob has not returned 2 phone calls or a text enquiring about job

Haven't heard from the company to perform this work after purchasing this Angies List Big Deal two months ago. Will be pursuing a refund.

I had a small area in the back of my house that was difficult to take care of (because of weeds) and just unsightly. I called Bob for a quote to have pavers placed. He returned my call right away and we set a date for him to come out. Bob came when he said he would, even earlier. I showed him the space I had out back.( I was a little worried that the job might be too small for Bob after seeing some of the beautiful work on his website). He had a vision right away, and guaranteed the space was not too small and would look beautiful. I had at least 5 other estimates from Angie's list and chose Bob because of his honesty and trustworthiness. There's a feeling you get when you know someone is being straight forward with you. The Job was done completely in 2 days, the yard was cleaned after, and it does look beautiful! I have a nice new patio area out back and I love it. THANKS BOB +co

Bob Whyte was prompt with his estimate. Gave me professional advice that helped. His crew did neat work. I look forward to doing business with him in the future. Thanks.

From the beginning I was confused as to how the big deal applied to the landscaping service, the individual told me that the big deal was an Angies List product. It was confusing to me as to how the big deal would be applied to the minimum $3000 requirement for landscaping job.
