Everyone was very professional and everything went well. They did an excellent job in a timely manner. We would definitely use again.
Description of Work: We had some shrubs and rock removed and new plants put in reusing the original rock. We also had a couple of trees removed. They did an excellent job with clean up.

I had to call twice to get a bid for service of Fertilizer Weed Control. They promised as soon as I signed the contract the weed and fertilization would be done. I sent contract back signed same day. I called again when I didn't hear from them, they said their next round was 7/12 but not sure when I would receive the Application in that round. 8/4 Called again, still no application done and next scheduled time was 8/10. Left message with Pam but she did not respond, called again left another message and Sharon called me back and I cancelled my contract.
Description of Work: Cancelled my contract

Description of Work: I never had hedges to trim before so I didn't rate the price. I does seem a bit high for what was done, however. They did a good job, they were timely, and the guys were very nice. I had a couple questions the young men couldn't answer and they were going to check this out. I haven't heard anything.

I would possibly use the division within their company for sprinkler turn on/off and maintenance. However, the division that helps with landscaping and design was difficult to work with and hard to have scheduled. The landscape design person was supposed to come to our house 3 different times, rescheduling each time except the last time he just never called back. I gave up on having the design person come help us plan. I felt we spent a good amount of money during the summer, but I felt like we were just 'small business' to them in the way they acted- not very professional. I did like the employees who came to perform the services with our landscaping; very nice, professional, and easy to work with. Sadly we would most likely use a different company, this company seems to be good but its not worth my time dealing with the 'office' staff.
Description of Work: Pulled up large amount of weeds, placed and maintained seeds for grass, started and fixed our sprinkler system and winterized our sprinkler system.

Eric came out to do an estimate within a day or two of our calling. We had the written estimate within two days after that. Their estimate was much lower than the other estimate we obtained. They showed up on time on the date given and installed the entire system with minimal disturbance to our yard. The workmen were very friendly, courteous and professional. They thouroughly explained how to operate the system before they left. When someone drove over a sprinkler head within the first week and broke it, they came out the next day and moved the heads backs and did the repair. We were very satisfied with this company and would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Installed an irrigation system at our cottage. Installed a pump to draw the water out of the lake for irrigating, a rain sensor and 33 sprinkler heads.

They were always prompt and professional. They completed the entire project on time and included an additional 10' foot of boulder wall, moved a mature ornamental tree, built a small boulder retaining wall next to the house where railroad ties once provided retention and excavated additional land outside of the quote without an extra charge. I am very pleased with the results and would highly recommend this company for this kind of work.
Description of Work: Keith gave us great suggestions along with a quote and drawing for excavation, 100' boulder retaining wall and steps. We had quotes from four different companies and Traverse Outdoor was the cheapest and most helpful with vision and ideas.

Description of Work: We have a love / hate relationship with TC Outdoors. While they are always prompt in estimating a job they may or may not show up to do the work. Our most recent experience was typical. They reviewed our sprinkler layout and we agreed substantial enhancements were needed. They committed to provide an estimate. 6 calls and three months later,we still don't have an estimate. I'm sure once fall arrives and it's time to turn off the system, they'll call with the estimate. Some of this is endemic to the TC area where service providers get back to you when they're good and ready. However, we've probably spent $7,500 with them over the last two years. You wouldn't think we would have to work this hard to give them more money. The quality of the work is good and their people are always courteus and professional. The process is just more arduous than it needs to be.

They seemed to know what they were doing. They did a good job. They are not the cheapest, but when they come to fix things, it works.
Description of Work: Traverse Outdoor put in my irrigation system. They placed a new filter on and replaced a couple of sprinkler heads.

Impressed with the customer service responsiveness, professionalism and careful work of Steve and the crew. The project went as planned and was completed on time.
Description of Work: Steve and his Traverse Outdoor crew did a thorough, careful, quality job of adding new planting beds, planting shrubs, mulching, and removal of older smaller trees and shrubs. Extremely helpful in design/planning and plant selection and spent a lot of time answering questions. Cleaned up well and also very helpful in removing tree branches and other debris.

Keith, at Traverse Outdoor, was prompt for every appointment. He actively listened to us while walking the property and came up with an excellent landscape plan, incorporating many of our stated desires. He set the plan up so we could do some of the work ourselves and his team was prompt, professional and competent. It has been a very pleasant experience.
Description of Work: Consulted regarding backyard landscape project - Provided a detailed landscape plan- Provided all the plants, trees, mulch and rock. Planted trees and one of the garden beds.

They do excellent work. They come out when they say they will. That is why i keep calling them!
Description of Work: They take care of my lawn and trim trees when necessary. They put down weed killers and lawn fertilizer. Previously they built a lower patio area, installed stone steps, and installed boardwalk steps. They redid our paver wall that another service provider did not do a good job on. They also completed the drawings for my projects.
