Goshen Enterprises

I highly advise you stay away from this company. We used them to put trees in our backyard for privacy. Although we made it very clear privacy was our main (only) motivation, the trees they installed provide no privacy. When we first complained we were told the trees would go quickly and provide privacy. A year later, with still no privacy, we had the owner come out and he said it will be years before these provide privacy and basically I should have known that. The only advice he had was that they need fertilizer (which he didn't even offer to do, unless we hire them as landscapers which I would never do at this point). I feel scammed out of thousands of dollars.

Extremely well. All of the work was completed. We did have some issues with gates being left open, despite repeated reminders to the workers, resulting in horses getting into the wrong pastures on the final day of work, but fortunately, none were injured.

They are very professional, prompt, and considerate of our property.

Barney came out on a Friday to give me an estimate and the crew was out the next Tuesday and regraded the back yard so rain would drain away from the house. They removed several overgrown azaleas, seeded and mulched. They did an excellent job in one day in very hot weather. While he was checking the work, I him asked for an estimate on fixing cracks in the mortar joints in a stone walkway. He noticed that different mortar colors had been used to patch in the past and said he would take a sample to make sure it could be matched. Again, the crew came out the same week and did a great job. Barney was a pleasure to deal with and the crews did a very good job.

Kevin is thorough and attentive to every detail. My choice to contract with Goshen Enterprises was based upon Kevin's patience and guidance. Kevin brought to my attention issues regarding property grading and long term maintenance/upkeep that the other vendors did not identify during my initial conversions. Kevin exhibited patience during the multiple visits to review ideas/changes to our initial conversation and throughout the process of dealing with the HOA. I commend Goshen for the quality of work. Antonio (his supervisor and several colleagues that worked with him) was professional and informative about the work he was performing at each step in the processes. Goshen followed up with reseeding, aerating and regrading several months after the main jobs were completed.

Called to set up an estimate request and was told someone could be out at 2:00. I confirmed but on the day of, I called at 2:25 to see if they were running late/coming and was told they have me down for 3:30. When offered possible appointment times initially, I specifically told the person that I could not do an appointment after 2:30 because I had to leave at 3:00. Not sure where 3:30 came from but I won't be requesting future estimates or giving them my business.

They did great stuff. They are reliable and they do a good job. They are very responsive to any request that I have.

The plants that needed pruning were very overgrown. After the initial pruning, the work looked great, but I decided that the plants needed further pruning, since I don't have regular pruning done and wanted it to last awhile. Mr. Dixon was very responsive in getting his crew back promptly and I am completely satisfied with the outcome.

They showed up at the time they had scheduled, upon completion they removed all of the materials and left the place looking nice as it was when they arrived. We were very impressed with their service.

I initially got Kevin's estimate because his company was referred by the home improvement company who had installed our new basement door. We had issues with the installation of the door as the installer had to remove some rows of our patio pavers in order to install the door threshold. We found out later that water was pooling in front of the door because our patio's gradation and height. Kevin came out to go over his recommendations to deal with the water issue and gradation of our patio. He did a great job in explaining what would be done. His crew came out and on the first day, took care of the brick trim that outlined our big tree in the front of the house. The issue was that the bottom concrete was being pulled up and away because of the roots and it also cracked alot of the bricks. We also had bricks that oulined our walkway and it was also cracking and we just wanted it removed. They did an excellent job of removing the concrete and bricks and then leveling the dirt and putting down mulch. It really made a huge difference to the appearance of our front yard, so much that our neighbors all commented how much better it looked without the brick trim. On the second day, they finished re-grading our patio so that it was lower than our door threshold and it sloped away from the house. They installed the timbers at the corner and everything was all cleaned up when we arrived home. They do very good work and I would highly recommend them.

They are wonderful! Their landscaping is beautiful and artistic. They clean up well after they are done. They are a bit pricey but it is worth every penny.

I had a lot of weeds and bamboo sticks in the back yard along the fence line and sticks beneath the back window. Goshen cleaned the area and removed all the debris.

The company is very responsive. Kevin makes a point to reach out every winter with suggestions for the coming year, including spring cleanup work, regular lawn treatments, and possible landscaping improvements. His suggestions have been helpful, and his team come on schedule and are careful in their work. I have used other landscaping companies that take forever to respond or are slow in their billing. Goshen is professional, run by a professional.

Truly a wonderful experience. Goshen was very responsive to our initial call. During the process they actually made several suggestions that saved us a lot of money, such as moving plants that were not doing well in one area of the yard to a more appropriate shady location, which allowed them to thrive and saved us from having to purchase extra plants. They were very willing to accomadate my desire to do some of the work to save some on the price. When I had a few ideas that sounded good but probably weren't, they were very polite in explaining the drawbacks and suggesting other approaches. One of my best contracter experiences to date, and we plan to use them again when we move on to landscaping the back yard.

The whole project went very smoothly and was done very professionally. He ended up saving us a lot of money by recommending we replace one of our large beds with sod. It looks so much better and doesn't need the long hours of upkeep.

They are an excellent company. Always outstanding performance and clean up. Always on time. Always responsive to requests.

Effective teamwork changed the yard in one day. Staff very professional. Recommendations and changes to the yard provided an updated view and allowed healthy growth of the plants that stayed. We have initiated a contract with them to continue to take care of the yard.

His manner was very professional and he made some very good suggestions to improve the landscaping of my yard. I had several estimates and he was the most helpful and knowledgable. After his visit, my husband was given names of people in business for themselves who could perform the work for a much lower price.

The work started on time and proceeded at a reasonable pace. The work crew arrived as expected and worked all day. We were kept informed of the schedule of activities.

It turned out very well. They were on time, polite. Their estimate was right on the mark. They worked in our yard when we were not home so they have very trustworthy. They cleaned up very well. They are not the cheapest, but you definitely get what you pay for.

Job went off perfectly - crew showed up as planned, completed the work and left the site nicer looking than when the arrived.

I was in a bit of a time crunch, so I thought I would try Goshen again after a not so great experience the previous year. I contacted Goshen and asked for the same foreman that I had used last year. Unfortunately he was no longer with the company. Another, less experienced guy contacted me instead. On the plus side, they were prompt in getting back to me and in setting up my appointment for an estimate. On the day of the estimate I had a very frank conversation about the issues I had last year and the work I needed this year (which was significantly less than the previous year). I was also very specific about what I needed done and how I expected it to be done. I received a quote that was pretty much what I had the previous year - obviously just looked at the price from last year. I negotiated a more appropriate price and despite my better judgment, I agreed to contract them. On the scheduled day, the foreman showed up late, which was just the beginning. We went section by section through my yard and flower beds and even identified what were plants and what were weeds for them to pull. We also talked about how the mulch needed to be put down. I was assured that I would get exactly what I needed. I came home from work at the agreed upon time so I could and quot;inspectand quot; the work before the team left. I could not have been more disappointed...they pulled flowers, left weeds and most importantly clearly spread the mulch wrong. They had no idea how to properly put down mulch in a flower bed. I called the foreman and after discussing the issue with him I then received a call from the owner. He was very apologetic and I had hopes that in fact in the end things would be rectified. He offered to come out personally and fix the problems the next day (a Sunday). I explained that if he wanted to walk through it with me beforehand, we needed to meet early as I was heading out of town for the day. He did not arrive before I left and when I came back home I looked at what was supposed to be fixed. The issues I had identified were not fixed and it looked like nothing was done. I called him and asked him if he had come out and he said he had. We then got into a debate about how to properly apply mulch (NOT in the middle of shrubs). Ultimately he said that he and his team applied the mulch and quot;based on standard landscaping practicesand quot; and that and quot;he was doneand quot;. So, the moral of the story is....if you know anything about gardening I would suggest you do not hire Goshen. Not only is the staff not knowledgeable about flowers, gardens and their proper care...but management does not either. I can only assume that most of their work is for commercial projects where throwing mulch into and on plants and shrubs is and quot;standardand quot;.

Goshen was prompt and professional, and the yard was perfectly flat after their work was done. They also applied straw and seed for the disturbed area. We decided to have them treat our problem lawn (we actually had a moldy lawn, if that is possible), and we are now finishing up a year contract with them -- they have done an excellent job. My only complaint is that I have to mow more frequently now that our yard is healthy and green!

The rep was constantly trying to sell me services that I didn't want. He also charged much more for the services that he provided.

I have been using them for several months and they are very responsive if I have a complaint. The people who come out are very nice and they respond to my questions.
