Ron did a nice job once he got around to it, but he took weeks and weeks to get started. He did not come when he said he would and when he finally came, we were out of town. He called a few days later and said he would be back to complete the job, but as of a week later he hasn't come back.
Description of Work: Fence in a small area for a dog. We supplied the fencing.

Response from VISTA LAWN & LANDSCAPE
ONCE AGAIN, THIS SERVICE WAS PERFORMED ABOUT A MONTH AFTER AGREEMENT ON THE SERVICE. ALL HARDSCAPE WORK WAS UP-TO-DATE AT THIS TIME, AND I WAS CONDUCTING FALL MAINTENANCE. THIS JOB AND SOME OF THE FALL MAINTENANCE FELL BEHIND SCHEDULE DUE TO MY WIFE BEING BEDRIDDEN WITH A SIGNIFICANT ILLNESS AND RELATED INJURY, THUS REQUIRING MY CARE AND ASSISTANCE ON A REGULAR BASIS. I ALSO DEALT WITH MY OWN ILLNESSES DURING THIS TIME. I CONDUCTED THE INITIAL INSTALLATION OF THE FENCE ON 11-28 (AND MAINTENANCE SERVICE FOR OTHER CUSTOMERS) IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES WITH WIND CHILL CONDITIONS WHILE I HAD WALKING PNEUMONIA. I ENDED UP BEDRIDDEN MYSELF WITH A COMBINATION OF THE PNEUMONIA AND STREP THROAT, WHICH DID NOTHING TO HELP MY SERVICE SCHEDULE. COMPLETION OF THIS JOB REQUIRED PURCHASE OF ADDITIONAL MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURE OF SMALL PIECES FROM ALUMINUM STOCK TO PROPERLY SECURE SECTIONS OF THE FENCE. THIS SERVICE WAS COMPLETED ON 12-17. AS A SIDE NOTE, I WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND MY APPRECIATION TO ALL OF MY REGULAR MAINTENANCE CUSTOMERS WHOSE SERVICE WAS ALSO DELAYED DURING THIS DIFFICULT TIME. YOUR PATIENCE, UNDERSTANDING, AND WILLINGNESS TO ALLOW ME TIME TO DEAL WITH CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND MY CONTROL AND TAKE CARE OF MY WIFE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED, AND WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN.

Ron came out and gave us an estimate. When we called and told him we would like him to do the job. It was a few months before we heard from him again. Once he and his men started it, they did a beautiful job, finished quickly, and cleaned up thoroughly.
Description of Work: Ron replaced 2 wooden walkways and covered a concrete patio with paver's. One of the walkways had concrete under it, which he removed. He also put fresh gravel on the pathway through our garden.

THIS SERVICE WAS PERFORMED MORE THAN A MONTH AFTER INITIAL AGREEMENT. IT WAS PERFORMED WHEN IT CAME UP AS SCHEDULED. DUE TO HEAVY DEMAND FOR HARDSCAPE SERVICES, NEARLY ALL HARDSCAPE SERVICES PERFORMED DURING THE SUMMER OF 2008 WERE PERFORMED A MONTH OR MORE AFTER CONTRACTED. I TRY TO KEEP CUSTOMERS ADVISED OF SCHEDULING AND WAITING PERIODS FOR SERVICE. SCHEDULED START DATES ARE OFTEN DELAYED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER INTRUDING ON THE SCHEDULE; THIS AFFECTS EACH SCHEDULED SERVICE BEYOND THAT POINT.

Got a reasonable bid and prompt agreement. Work was accomplished on time. Sent in final payment and then discovered that they covered over the big plate for water meter access. No return calls after leaving three messages, or visit to uncover. Ended up doing it myself. Left a bad taste in my mouth. Went from A to F.
Description of Work: Replaced soil and front lawn. Looked good but covered over the water access plate. Asked to come back and uncover the two foot diameter plate. No returned phone calls or visit. I did it myself.

I RETURNED ONE TIME AND COULD NOT LOCATE THE WATER METER COVER. I SPOKE WITH THE MEMBER VIA PHONE AND ADVISED I WOULD RENT A METAL DETECTOR AND RETURN TO LOCATE IT. HE ADVISED THAT HE HAD ALREADY FIGURED OUT ITS LOCATION. COVERING THE WATER METER CAP WAS UNINTENTIONAL, AND I WOULD HAVE GLADLY PAID THE RENTAL TO LOCATE IT. I AM SORRY THAT THIS PROBLEM RUINED AN OTHERWISE SATISFACTORY OUTCOME FOR HIM.

Ron Vanscyoc from Vista arrived at the promised time to look at our yard and provide an estimate. He was very thorough and professional, answered all of my questions, and explained very clearly what he thought needed to be done and why. He discussed various materials, and the respective advantages and disadvantages of each. He even took me down the street in order to look at a retaining wall he had constructed in the neighborhood. While we decided not to do the work at this time, I would definitely call Vista again.
Description of Work: Estimate was given for construction of a retaining wall, patio, and drainage work. Based on the estimate provided, the job would have been prohibitively expensive, and work was not performed.

This company certainly has an odd way of communicating with potential customers. First off, the rep I dealt with seemed a bit unorganized in terms of knowing what was available and the prices. It would have been better if he had done more research up front before getting back to me. Secondly, there were a couple of times when he called close to 10 PM. That is just too late to be calling someone. And finally, the person came by a couple of times unannounced, even though we were supposed to get a phone call first. We never did get an estimate, since we got a favorable estimate and impression from another landscape company before Vista could come up with specifics.
Description of Work: Contacted them to get an estimate on having a retaining wall replaced and additional landscaping.

I DID MAKE 2 VISITS TO THE CUSTOMER'S SITE. I SPOKE WITH THE CUSTOMER PRIOR TO EACH VISIT. THE FIRST VISIT ENTAILED MEASUREMENTS AND JOB REQUIREMENT INFORMATION FROM THE CUSTOMER. ON THE SECOND VISIT, PER THE CUSTOMER'S REQUEST, I TOOK WALL STONE SAMPLES FOR THE CUSTOMER TO VIEW AND PROVIDED PRICING INFORMATION FOR THE CUSTOMER TO MAKE AN INFORMED CHOICE PRIOR TO WRITING AN ESTIMATE. OTHER THAN SOME DELAY IN BEING ABLE TO COORDINATE MY VISITS WITH A TIME CONVENIENT TO THE CUSTOMER, I THOUGHT THE PROCESS WENT SMOOTHLY, AND I AM UNSURE HOW MY INTERACTION WITH THE CUSTOMER CAME TO BE VIEWED AS DISORGANIZED. SINCE WORKING UNTIL DARK DURING THE SUMMER IS COMMON FOR MY BUSINESS, I OFTEN MAKE CUSTOMER CALLBACKS WHEN I RETURN TO THE OFFICE DURING A TIME FRAME BETWEEN 8PM AND 10 PM. I DO NOT CALL ANYONE AFTER 10PM UNLESS THEY ADVISE OTHERWISE.

It took Ron a couple times before he made it to my house. He'd say he'd be there and then call and reschedule. His ideas were only OK, and he never called me back to give an estimate.
Description of Work: I called to get an estimate for "curb appeal".

I MAILED A SERVICE PROPOSAL TO THE CUSTOMER 2 DAYS AFTER MEETING HER AND VIEWING THE JOB SITE. THE ENTRY HERE ON ANGIE'S LIST IS THE FIRST INDICATION I'VE HAD THAT SHE HAS NOT RECEIVED THE SERVICE PROPOSAL. I WILL DELIVER ANOTHER COPY OF THE PROPOSAL TO HER HOUSE ON 3-7-08.

Ron was great to work with! His team arrived on time, were very professional, and completed all the work in one day. I was preparing my house to go on the market, and wanted something that would catch prospective buyers' eyes without going overboard, and Ron knew exactly what I was looking for. My front yard is mostly shade, and so Ron put in an arrangement that was perfect - (small) evergreens, rhododendrons, azaleas, and shade-loving annuals. He arranged the other garden areas in my yard with similar results, and I've been getting compliments from neighbors ever since (along with requests for his contact info). We've been getting a lot more potential buyers walking through our house now, and I think that Ron's work had a lot to do with that. I definitely plan on using his services for our new house later this year.
Description of Work: In preparation for sale of house, removed dying garden bed in front of house; Designed new/modified garden layouts; Provided 5 new (small) trees, 2-3 dozen shrubs and many more annuals for garden beds along front of house, driveway, and circle in front lawn; Weeded, treated and mulched all garden areas; Prepared and seeded bare lawn areas, front and back.

I called Ron for a quote to backfill where I had a concrete patio removed, and he came out the next day. He was prompt, courteous, and professional. His team came out as soon as possible after the promised date, due to heavy rain, and installed the paver base. His team completed the backfill work after the ground had dried further, a few days later. The finished job was excellent! I would definitely use Vista again for other landscaping work.
Description of Work: Vista backfilled a 14' by 14' area where a concrete patio had been removed, and leveled off the surrounding area with topsoil. They also installed two 3' by 5' paver pads for stairs coming from a sun room onto the area that was backfilled.

Ron was recommended by Brian McCubbin at The Stone Store. Even though my job was not exactly landscaping, he was happy to accept the task. He came out on his own to check the stalls and determine how much stone dust was needed. For the installation, he and his team of 3 delivered and tamped the stone dust giving me a firm level surface for the mats. The job was completed in a timely and very professional manner and the entire team was a pleasure to deal with. The cost was also quite reasonable. When I do have a landscaping job, I will be sure to call Ron at Vista Lawn and Landscape.
Description of Work: Installed tamped stone dust base in 2 horse stalls to support rubber mats.
