Not hired
Description of Work: Nothing, way to costly. I don't think she wanted the job. We wanted sod (45 rolls), 1 yard dirt and loosen existing soil.

Response from Better Yards & Gardens
We do all kinds of landscaping jobs big and small and all different types of landscaping. I would have had 3 crew members out to do this job and they would have had about 6 hours into the landscaping by the time they load the trucks, pick up dirt and sod then drive to and from location prepped the yard, put down dirt and laid the sod. I would also have had around $100,000 in equipment. I didn't over bid the job because I didn't want the job, its what it would have cost me in labor, material and overhead costs. Better Yards and Gardens does all size jobs from small to large. If I can't do the job I let the customers know it is out of the scope of what we do. otherwise I bid a job on what it will cost to do

Description of Work: Retaining wall around front yard and short walls on both sides of front steps. Replaced sod in front yard. Paul and his crew did a great job and were very helpful in answering all our questions and helping us choose the right kind of block for the different applications. Very easy to work with and would definitely choose them for our next landscaping job.

Description of Work: They cleaned up some DIY projects in our yard that hadn't gone so well and basically laid out a clean slate with mulch and flagstones. It looked great when it was installed and has held up over time. They were very punctual and professional.

Description of Work: A different contractor failed to show up as scheduled so we called these folks to do the job. We recieved an bid immediatley and it was less the the original contractor. They called to move it up a week earlier and then arrived right on time. They worked very quickly, did all as promised and cleaned up before departing. |We had about 1500 sq ft. area of the back yard where two big trees had been removed that had to be leveled, sloped and sodded. They removed some old shrubs and cut away the ragged old sod and replaced an old window well then filled and graded against the back of the house to provide drainage and placed new sod. They even went around the side of the house and did the same even though it was not in the original bid. Nice people, hard workers and an excellent result. THANKS.

Description of Work: Paul was very nice, responded right away to set up an appointment, but when I tried to hire him he never got back to me on when. I ended up doing the work myself with the help of my sister, and it looks great :)
