Response from Four Seasons Garden Center
We had an opportunity to speak with this member recently. It is clear that we fell short. We have programs and processes in place and honed for over 30 years to ensure our client experience is the best in the business. But we dropped the ball in this case. We failed to get a clear understanding of the scope of the project, the work took longer than projected, and we failed to follow up appropriately. Fortunately he was impressed with the quality of the work performed and will give Four Seasons another chance next year to prove ourselves. We appreciate the opportunity and won't let him down.

Description of Work: Removed 5 large trees and installed 5 new 7' evergreens, variegated dogwoods and burning bushes. Excavated and installed a matrix of french drains in order to control excess water in the back yard. The designer Lynn was very considerate of our needs and our budget. The foreman Ivan was very polite and able to execute Lynn's plan. The company owner visited on more than one occasion in order to help with particularly tough areas.

Every year before annuals are planted. Lyn comes out and meets with me on ideas for my annuals. Lyn also provides advice on other options for my flower beds and yard. My only issue is I sometimes feel there is a lack of commuication or understanding between Lyn and the crews that come to my house. An example, I had my back yard mulched this fall for the first time in 3 years. I have the front mulched every spring. I came home and the back was mulched and so were some of my front beds again. Lyn did adjust the price for the mistake. Sometimes mulch is no put down with consistency. Some areas will be heavily mulched and some areas not enough. With my spring clean up. One year my poppies were removed. I understand they can look like a weed. However, the employees should know what plants are what. Especially if working for a garden center. Lyn replaced them right away. It may sound as if I have had issues. However, Lyn and the office staff are quick to fix the situation. They are not inexpesive. However, as a whole my yard looks great.
Description of Work: I have used Four Seasons for several years. I have them do my mulch, flower bed clean up, fall clean up, slring/summer annuals and summer flower bed maintenance as well as shrub prunning. They always do a nice job. I have had Four Seasons plant some trees and change some flower beds for me.

Description of Work: Quality of work is good. Because my project was relatively small, felt that it was lower priority. Did not provide information in a timely manner as promised. Pricing was very high for work done.

I went to them to find out if they carried the spice bushes I need. Needed to check with them on availability and possible options.
Description of Work: They directed me to what they had in stock. They also said with a sample beach of the bush they could give a pretty good idea of what can grow well in the flower bed location.

I've used this company three times for landscaping and related services. They've always done a good job. The work reported here was done several years ago, before I joined Angie's list. The date shown for approximate date of service is a wild guess. For the job, one of the company's people came out to inspect the area in my yard where I wanted foundation plantings. She recommended Knockout roses for the planting. I accepted that recommendation and also requested planting a mock orange shrub. The company then located the roses and mock orange and other company people planted them. They also installed a soaker hose and recommended a watering schedule, which I used for watering initially. I can't remember now what I paid for this, but think it may have been over $500. In any case, I recall thinking the cost was a little on the high side, but still reasonable. The roses turned out to be excellent choices, growing very rapidly and flowering beautifully in the location. The mock orange also has grown well but has never flowered. After a year of no flowers, I called them to inquire why. The response I got was to give it another year, which I did, but still no flowers, and no help when I called again later. (Warranty had run out.) I think the watering schedule may have required too much watering or the soaker hose may not have been installed correctly, which over-soaked the ground around the mock orange and may have impeded flowering. I now understand, however, that mock oranges sometimes don't flower for no discernible reason. Consequently, because they only planted the mock orange because I wanted it, not because they recommended it, and because they did a great job the other times I used them, I would still consider using this company in the future and would recommend them to others.
Description of Work: Planted three knockout rose bushes and a mock orange shrub as front yard foundation plantings. Also installed soaker hose around the plantings and recommended a watering schedule.

They did a beautiful job...however very shortly after the planting some of the plants(6 of them) showed signs of not doing well. I called them and they came out. They said to give them a chance. So I waited about a year. The same thing happened and I called them back again. They said again to wait but they came out to replace the plants. I waited another year and they were showing signs of dying. I called them and they said the set up of the shade was causing the plants to die. They designed this! They would not come out to fix the problems. I would not recommend them to anyone. The actual landscaping design is outstanding but its just that some of the plants will have to be replaced for a second time within a period of 3 years. Daniel who was in charge was very outstanding to work with. He was very cooperative and nice.
Description of Work: They have designed and landscaped my back yard.

Response from Four Seasons Garden Center
We were pleased to be the Member's landscaping company for four years. Four Seasons Garden Center and Custom Landscape Services designed and installed her back landscape and continued to maintain the property for years, including additional plantings. Every attempt was made to insure her utmost satisfaction with our work, including being respectful of her budget and scheduling our crews to her specific day and time of arrival. Some plant material failed over time due to lack of irrigation, but was replaced for her at no charge, even though the warranty had expired. Likewise, the plants the Member refers to in her post were 3 years out of warranty and were not receiving adequate water. The Member was told that she would have to monitor the watering or take responsibility for decline of the health of the plants. She indicted that she was unable to do so. At that point we indicated that possibly we were no longer a good fit for her and that she might want to look elsewhere for landscape services.

.They were professional but they were a lot more expensive than what we had discussed. So their price was a lot higher. If their prices are more reasonable they were in ballpark and we tried to streamline it. I would consider them in the future.

Everything involving the design was excellent. However, the actual landscaping is very poor. The owner is not very responsive, I was promised one thing then something else would be done. The follow up following the planting and general landscape maintenance is not very good either. I would not use them again.

Response from Four Seasons Garden Center
Four Seasons Garden Center and Custom Landscape Services began working with the member in 2004. The initial scope of the project was a re-design and installation of the front and side yard. We continued to provide maintenance services at the residence until fall of 2007. We experienced continuing problems reaching the client at home, cell, and work. She was not responding to our voice mails; her mailbox at home was full. On our last visit, the crew arrived at her home for fall maintenance at an agreed upon time of 1:00 and began work. She arrived 10 minutes later and became abusive to our crew and the designer managing the project. We pulled our crew off the job.

Last fall, Four Seasons landscaped my front yard. They did a good job, but I felt that I had to "manage" them. I loved the design the designer created, but when it was time to install, the original designer was on vacation and a backup designer filled in. The installed designed was different from the planned designed. I waited until the following week to discuss this with the original designer. She fixed everything, but still it was a nuisance. After the winter season, I had a few plants that did not come back so I called Four Seasons to have the plants replaced. My original designer was no longer with the company, so I was given someone new. She came out to look at the work to be done and we agreed on a plan. When the work was done, once again, the designer didn't show up and someone else did the work and it was not done correctly. So, once again, I had to call them to come back and do what they were supposed to do. My landscaping looks great, but I had to manage them.
Description of Work: Created customized design plan. I got 3 bids and their bid was the highest, but their design was the most dramatic with the most plants. They replaced 15 shrubs with 50 shrubs/plants. Dug out beds, elevated soil line, fertilized soil, mulched. Took all old plants away.
