Dustin, the owner, is very personable and accommodating before the contract is signed and money paid. However, it was always difficult to get timely response to questions and issues that arose in our experience. Most of the work was ultimately done mostly acceptably but areas of concern were hard to resolve due to lack of contact on their part. Planting was completed in June 2016 and the first plants died in a few months. Several plants did not make it through the winter. We were told that there was a one-year guarantee if we had irrigation which we installed and they hooked up. However, now Flaska Landscaping claims that there is no guarantee and that the dead plants are tough luck, and our responsibility.After repeated attempts to contact this company to resolve our issues we sent an email on a Sunday.. Here is a direct quote from an email the owner sent to us in response: "Seeing that you decide to message me on a Sunday evening demanding I replace plants is disrespectful. There is over 100 landscape companies between the two counties. I'd suggest you hire a different firm the remainder of your landscape needs." This is clearly not a company I will not choose in the future.
Description of Work: Landscaping and planting around a moderate sized cottage. This included ripping out old shrubs, installing limestone planting beds, and ~250 sq ft of hardscape patio. About $20K work altogether.

Response from Flaska Landscaping
"I can only imagine that things are not going well in your life and if that is true that is unfortunate and you have my condolences." After these clients messaged me threats in a Sunday evening. Very demanding. They play games to include work beyond the scope of the contract. When other contractors THEY HIRED disturbed our masonry, they call my work poor craftsmanship. I literally rebuilt a 2 ton planter TWICE. Once because they wanted stairs moved, and once because their irrigation contractor moved an entire wall to feed pipe. Zero responsibility from the client. This review came from threats and demands from the client. Take it how you would like, but it'[Member Information Removed] a response to an adult throwing a temper tantrum because I refuses to do any more work for their project. I give this client an E rating. They're very rude, demanding, dishonest, and cheap. They play angles to get as much work beyond contract, and will NOT be satisfied with ANY of the multiple contractors on sight. Contractors be warned.

Description of Work: They completed a small job for me and did ok. I asked them to do a larger job the following spring. We discussed what I wanted done and they told me that they would draw up a plan and get back to me soon. After waiting several weeks, I called them. They did not answer their phone and did not return my message. I tried several more times to reach them with the same result. I was finally able to reach them at the end of the summer. Their excuse for not returning my calls was, "I know this is more money than you want to spend. I don't like to give people bad news." The ironic thing is that I never gave them an amount that I was willing to spend and I had more money set aside to spend than their bid. Even if they did think that it might be too costly, that doesn't excuse them from ignoring my calls. This happened a few years ago. Perhaps they have improved on their responsiveness and professionalism but I have no way of knowing so I cannot recommend them.

Fantabulous. The lovely rocks and boulders were delivered before the job, each step of the process was thoroughly explained so there were no surprises- Mr. Flaska and his crew are conscientious about workplace safety and minimizing unnecessary disruption to the yard.
Description of Work: Mr. Flaska designed and constructed a rock retention wall. He exemplifies professionalism and his creatively is unique and instinctual. I would highly recommend him for any job large or small.

Dustin was contacted to give us an estimate for lanscaping our new home. Rather than just do a phone interview and some Qand A, he came out to the house to look at the property and surrounding area. He took the time to truly understand what we were looking for and suggested plants and materials that would work with what we had envisioned. This was not some huge exotic garden or tons of stone work, it was what we thought would look right with the house. He was very understanding concerning my wife's request to have some plants relocated from her childhood home to our new home and took great care incorporating the transplants into the overrall job. We have been very happy with Dustin's work and recommend him highly!
Description of Work: Some trees and large bushes were planted in the yard. Edging/fabric/stone around the house. Mulch in beds and around plants. Several new plants in beds around house. Design in conjunction with plants selected and by special request, several plants moved from Mother's home to this new house.
