Very poorly.
Description of Work: Based on the reviews I set up a meeting with DCI back in May. After taking off work early and waiting for an hour I was finally able to get in touch with David to find out he forgot about me. Again because of the great reviews I decided to try again this week and set up a meeting for 7:00am on a Thursday morning. At 10pm on Wednesday night I got an email telling me he wasn't going to meet with me because he took a big job. What he didn't know, was that if we liked him, we had a massive job to do and are very flexible about when it happens. I am very disappointed.

Response from DCI Landscaping
[Member Name Removed] told me she needed stuff done right away. Needed an estimate by Friday with a Thursday meeting. I was not going to meet her timeline for the work she wanted. It was stumps and a bush removed. When I cannot for sure make a timeline I let the customer know. Regardless of job size. I did email and apologize. Now she can get someone to do it on her timeline. I knew of no missed meeting before this.

MI am,very sorry we could not connect. Once again I do not know the nature of the call. Did he call and ask if we could give an estimate for grass cutting. We do not cut grass and normally do not give a call back in situations like these. If he had a detailed message and we could tell it was important to call we do regardless of ability to provide service. If a former customer calls or a reference we always call back and give them a timeframe. Just to be clear what we are talking about. We return every email to my email and message sent through the angie's list message center. Service is important to us. We have a two week turn around on jobs right now. Thank you

Description of Work: DCI installed a drainage swale along the backside of a storage building and my home, underneath the deck to extend out into the yard. This job included removal of some decking material, two window wells and plant materials. It also included positive grading away from the house, installation of commercial grade separation fabric and mixed river rock and two new window wells and replanting and mulching of replanted materials. Additionally 2 downspouts were buried and a drain installed to remove water away from the house. This job was completed in a timely manner. Dave Irwin, owner of DCI was present on the job the majority of the day. The work crew tidied up very nicely before they left the job site. I am glad to report no more water inside my basement from the heavier rainfalls we seem to get in Maryland now.

Response from DCI Landscaping
[Member name removed] was very nice to meet with and we had a great discussion about her job. It was extensive and I took about 4 hours putting it together. It included a plan, adobe file of similar works and detailed personal email with my thoughts on the project. I talked to her and she said this review went in before she received my plan. I had asked her to please just let everyone know that she did receive a plan even though she had moved on with the project. She said she had received a plan within 24 hrs from another contractor. I think this would have been a good customer to work for. I sent a plan but not in time to be considered which is understandable. She gave me a chance and it was my fault I did not have the plan in on time. I wish her the best with the project.

Description of Work: We live in a town home and our neighbors were getting water in their basement due to a water accumulation problem in our front lawn secondary to the lack of a grade going away from our home. AKA- water pooled in front of our yard creating an undesired pool! Dave Irwin did an excellent job explaining the possible solutions to our problem and gave us a competitive price estimate. We were happy with the work which included creating a grade that sloped down from our home, redoing the landscaping w/ new plants, and putting in a pipe underground to lead water away from our home. Dave was on the site the day the company worked on the yard orchestrating everything and making sure things were done properly.

I called that I was running late and emailed her an estimate 5 days after our meeting. If she did not get an estimate I would appreciate her letting me know. I did not know until I read this. I assumed she went with someone else.

What can I say. I never did work for the customer or even spoke to them so the quality and price of my work rated an F. I don't understand that. Hire again No. I was never hired in the first place. I try to answer my calls/ messages. Maybe a return call to make sure I got the message or an email. I'm reasonable. If I call a contractor and they don't get back to me I shoot them an email or leave another message. Anything could happen. She could have called the wrong number or the message accidentally erased from voicemail. I'm not sure what happened I aploigize for the missed call.

I never got the estimate......
Description of Work: I called and set up an appointment for an estimate. Dave came in a timely manner and seemed enthusiastic about the project. He left promising me an estimate in a few days. 2 weeks later I had not received the estimate and although I called 4 times over next two weeks and talked to him once during that time when he promised me the estimate the next day. I did not receive the estimate. I was getting the estimate for a bank rehab loan and it put me behind schedule, I was not happy.

I have emailed this customer an estimate after assuring her I would. I was a bit behind on the estimate due to a busy schedule. I figured the bid was not right for her. If a message was left I would have returned the call. I would never turn down work. I feel bad about the miscommunication.

I thought they did a great job with the entire process. They helped us design the beds and everything. The workers did show up on time. There were a few plants that died on us, but I think that was because we did not water them enough. I was very pleased with the work.
Description of Work: I hired them to put in three flower beds around my house. This involved them planting lots of different flowers and a total of eight bushes.
