AZALEAS TO ZINNIAS

We were very very satisfied. They arrived when scheduled and did all the work. We were very pleased with the quality of the work they did. The plants they chose look very nice and healthy. They worked with us to pick out new shrubs and trees and gave us the information and time we needed to approve the choices. They worked with us to find a tree species that fit our taste and preference.

I had just had an addition built on the back of my house, so the backyard was a mess and we had water leaking into the basement in heavy rain. We are hoping to get a dog in the future, so wanted a nice, thick lawn and were considering zoysia grass. Some people don't like zoysia because it is yellow from October to May, but we were impressed by how thick it looked and how well it seemed to hold up. Drainage: Kyle found signs of water runoff, and suggested installing a box drain to take the water away from the house and let it exit at the front of our yard where it wouldn't bother the basement. It works great-- we've had many heavy rains since the work was completed, and our basement is dry. Lawn restoration: This went way beyond my expectations: Kyle bought some zoysia plugs to scatter throughout the existing lawn (they will spread and take over within a few years), but also brought over a large amount of zoysia turf and installed it near the house and around the box drain. Wow, instant lawn! This knocked my socks off-- it was way better than what I thought I was getting. The day of the job: Very impressive-- there must have been 6 or 7 guys over here, very courteous and working hard to do the job. The only B I'm giving is in responsiveness. I did have to contact Kyle several times before he came back to do the fertilization (about four weeks later). He was very apologetic, and ended up doing some extra spraying when he did come to fertilize. In all, tremendous job-- I would not hesitate to call them again.

It was okay. The service was pretty average. The price was fine. I might use them again.

I called A to Z after finding them on Angie's List and left a voicemail. I received a call back that evening and we set up a date a few days later for them to come out to our home and give me a quote for the work. I explained that I wanted the job to be done as a surprise for my husband for Father's Day, and that I wanted the quote to be done while he was at work. The quote was supposed to be done on Thursday, but I received a call on Friday saying that they weren't able to get to the house on Thursday and they were there now. We talked about a few details and then I was told that I would receive a quote in writing via email. Several days passed and I called again to follow up and find out when I could expect a quote. It was sent the following evening. It came in about $100 over the other quote that I received, but the other quote did not include the gravel that we had spread, and I liked that A to Z guaranteed their plants and their work for one year. I also liked that they gave an Angie's List discount. I wrote back and agreed to the price and we set a date for the next week for the work to be completed. That day came and no one showed up. When I called to follow up, the gentleman explained that they were swamped and a truck had broken down and they couldn't come that day. I wondered if I would have been notified if I hadn't called myself. They did show up the next day and complete the work. Several weeks went by and I never received an invoice for the work. I worried that something had been lost or that we had slipped through the cracks and that they would report us to collections for not paying. I emailed and was told they had had some problems with their billing and they would send another one. They did and it arrived a few days later. Because of the complete lack of responsiveness and reliability I would not use A to Z again. I do think the work they did was of nice quality, but I'm sure plenty of companies could have done that.

Their estimate price was higher than some of the others. We didn’t go with them. The gentleman that came by was really nice and listened to everything I needed. He was pretty prompt in getting back with the estimate.

Kyle from A to Z was very responsive and came within a week to talk with me about ideas to improve the appearance of the front of our house. His quote was very similar to two others I had obtained, and just slightly lower. A to Z had just done some work for a friend, and she was very pleased, so I went with this company. The original price for the proposed design was more than I wanted to spend. Kyle worked with me through several iterations to get the most for what I could spend. I was under a time crunch because I had out of town guests coming for a big family event at my home. A to Z really came through under a very short timeframe when bad weather threw them off their schedule. Kyle's creative solution to the rocks at the end of the porch looks amazing. Many houses in my neighborhood have this feature of a slab porch, and then a fall off due to the natural topography that in our case the previous owners had lined with sharp edged "manufactured" white rocks. Very tacky. Kyle suggested replacing the rocks with river rock (very smooth with many colors) and two large boulders, so that it looks like this is a planned feature of the garden. This meant I could stop considering extending the porch - with all of the additional costs associated. It looks great. A to Z got the main pieces of the work done before my event, and then came back the next week to finish up. The crew was hardworking and efficient, and the end results definitely surpassed my expectations.

We were not disappointed. Kyle worked with us to design a solution that worked within our budget. His team was punctual, hardworking, and efficient. We were so impressed we now use them for our spring and fall clean up jobs also.

"Absolutely Spectacularly" as one of our neighbors commented. Kyle and crew used the best materials, best construction, design and planting techniques. They were on time, on budget. They had superb email contact; for example, I needed to rework on railing design and I was emailed annotated photo's. Daily cleaning was also outstanding and every crew member is outstanding too. They will be building a baseball court for us.

Overall, the experience was great. Kyle was very friendly and helpful and the crew that did the landscaping did an excellent job. I was very pleased with their work and would definitely recommend them. The only thing I would change would be to have done this earlier - we love hanging out in our backyard now!

They were very good about scheduling an appointment right away and showed up right on time. They were very professional and were definitely listening to us. They had a lot of good ideas.

It went very well. Always. Call them, you won't be sorry.

I spend about $500, but they did a lot of work. They charge by the hour I believe and they spend all day doing work. They gave me very good advice when my tree got smushed and we saved the tree. I would tell other members that for the work they do, their prices are very reasonable and they are very thorough. I am usually at work when they come and do the work.

We were really happy with the job they did. They were very responsive and did excellent work. They came back after they completed the installation once or twice to check on it and water the plants they put in. The price was reasonable. We would absolutely use them in the future.

We were very happy with the quality of the work and the professionalism of the company. They did the work in a timely manner and as specified. Everything worked out excellent on this project. We highly recommend them for this work.

They were professional and responsive.

At the end of the summer (Maryland had a severely hot and dry summer), both Japanese Hollies were totally dead, the ferns that were replanted in May had mostly died, and one of the boxwoods had a dead spot. My wife e-mailed Azaleas to Zinnias to ask for their help and the only response we got was "Water, Water, Water", attributing the problems to the hot weather and our lack of watering. While we could accept that perhaps we did not water enough, we expected a better response such as "we will come out to look at your plants and perhaps we will give you a good price on replacing the plants" but nothing!!! My wife believes that the one Holly was dying the first year and probably should have been replaced then under our 1 year warranty, and also that the ferns and some of the other plants that have sinced died were a poor suggestion for the front of our house. We have since had another company replace the Hollies with another variety of Holly and are in the process of asking them for some suggestions for the rest of the area in front of the house.

Project was handled great by Kyle from beginning to end. They had to remove a lot of old rock from the area during the prep work.... perhaps more than they thought. But Kyle never complained. They installed the cut bluestone with a thoughtful pattern and put a beautiful hand cut sun burst in front of our french doors. We requested the joints not be mortared but instead filled with polymeric sand. We also requested tight joints for an older look. They also put a brick veneer on the slightly visible wall under the bluestone patio (the patio is raised 1 step off the ground). Kyle helped us find brick and mortar color to match our old brick home. We had a few concerns during the job with some of the early block work, but Kyle was quick to respond and take care of it. We had a lot of weather delays and some materials delays... Kyle was always letting me know updates! They did a beautiful job. We highly recommend Kyle and his team!

The job was planned for the end of the week. Kyle and the crew arrivedby 0830, were wonderfully organized laying out their tools by job planned, and to be able to account for all at the end of the day. There were 4 in the AM and another 4 arrived for the afternoon to assist with the drainage ditch digging, and soil moving via wheelbarrows. The newly seeded area was covered lightly with straw and a rollout netting cover which they anchored with push pins. They were efficient, courteous, and very neat, cleaning up after themselves. Loriope under the redbud was dug up and moved to another area of the yard at my request. They were done by the end of the day. The regrading has had the test of multiple rains since and the water has been redirected to either side of the house and what flows into the drainage box is also directed to the side. No more soggy areas or flow down the outside stairwell. The newly seeded lawn area is lovely.

excellent - entire "crew" arrive on-time (as best as expected from Townson - Columbia in the morning rush hour) - results were fantastic - great improvement - over the previous landscaping company..I used their recommended new plants - all look great

Came, landscaped the areas, cleaned up and left. No fuss, no muss. Came on time on the day appointed. Professional at all times. Did not insist on being paid at the time but sent the bill a week or so later.

Excellent experience. Called to set up time for an estimate, and had some challenges due to time constraints. The owner was very diligent in follow up to figure out a good time. Met with their rep, who was very professional and knowledgable to discuss and address needs/issues. Rep took photos of the yard to detail work to be done and create estimate. That evening received verbal estimate over the phone, and written estimate came in the mail soon after that. (I had received other estimates(some lower, some higher) but these folks knowledge and professionalism won my business.) Crew was extremely professional and well mannered. The work was very well done, and the crew did a great job. These folks went above and beyond-HIGHLY recommend!

They did great. They removed lots and lots of ivy from all round and on the house and cut down a bush that had grown into a tree. They cut back the two bushes I had in front of my house so I could see if I wanted to keep them or replace them. They also cut back the growth behind our fence.

Best word to describe work: Professional. Richard came in to give me an estimate on work. Then send landscaper in for plant recommendations. Wall built first. Richard checked back on quality of work. Then a group of like five men showed up and did the entire landscaping job in ONE day. Richard again checked back. I pointed out that one of the capstones on the wall was loose and that some of the pavers hadnt been filled in with bluestone. A guy came back the next day and fixed everything. I got stern lecture from Richard about watering the sod every day for two weeks. and he warned me he'd be back to check :) Outstanding job and I'll never use anybody else again. very professional. I LOVE MY NEW FRONT YARD. Envy of my neighborhood

AtoZ landscapers are really professional. All the guys that show up are really nice, very accommodating, and receptive to feedback. Carla, their designer is also a pleasure to work with... She was happy to alter designs to accommodate requests. After the job, she was happy to stop by to look at some plants and address concerns. My neighbors are making fun of me, as the new yard to beat...

this has been a great company to work with. we started in 2008. they helped create a plan, broken down into increments, to completely re do my entire yard, front and back. they took into account my lack of knowlege and desire to do yardwork, and have created a beautiful and easy lawn/yard. they are letting me do the work in stages as i get the money. they coach me along and accept my desires and input. they have been great to work with,even through personnel changes. they have planted bushes, flowers, trees, moved plantings, erected stone walls, weeded, mulched, put in privacy screens, and more. they are always pleasant and polite! thanks to angie's list i found them.
