We wanted to have a quote for leveling an 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 area in our back yard in preparation for installing a hot tub. Unfortunately, the individual who came to give us a quote would not hear "8 1/2 x 8 1/2" and insisted that we wanted to level a larger area. He did give us different options for leveling the area, but not the small area that we wanted worked on.
Description of Work: Quote only.

Response from Bluhm Brothers Landscaping Inc
BLUHM BROTHERS ARRANGED A FREE ESTIMATE WITH WIFE, EDEN SHOWED UP AND THE HUSBAND WAS THE ONLY ONE HOME. EDEN WAS TOLD THAT A 9' X 9' HOT TUB WAS PURCHASED NOT A 8 1/2 X 8 1/2 . EDEN AND HUSBAND AGREED THAT THE PATIO SHOULD BE 1' BIGGER ON 3 SIDES WHICH MAKES THE SIZE OF THE PATIO 11' X 9'. IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THE CONDITIONS OF THE DECK AND HOUSE, HUSBAND AND EDEN AGREED ON A 9' X 12' PATIO. EDEN WROTE UP THE MEMBER'S FREE ESTIMATE FOR THE PATIO, GIVING THEM THREE OPTIONS OF MATERIALS TO USE. EDEN LEFT THE FREE ESTIMATE WITH THE HUSBAND THAT DAY. BLUHM BROTHERS SECRETARY DID A FOLLOW UP CALL 3 DAYS LATER AND CLIENTS WERE STILL UNDECIDED. WE ARE VERY SORRY THAT THIS COUPLE GAVE US AN F, WHEN A PHONE CALL COULD HAVE ANSWERED ANY QUESTIONS THEY MAY HAVE HAD. THANKS MUCH! BLUHM BROTHERS INC. 651-227-2584

Eden was exactly on time when he came out to give the estimate. He made recommendations on things we hadn't even considered. The crew arrived a little late but they worked over 12 hours the first day and came back the next day and finished in a couple of hours; as they said they would. Everyone was polite. They were very diligent, and careful workers. They cleaned up every scrap of debris from the job. We will use them again and have already recommended them to friends.
Description of Work: Cleared out plants, shrubs, and small tree in 5 beds in the yard. Placed new top soil, graded beds, and laid new sod. Rearranged boulders.

We highly recommend this excellent company. Eden Bluhm was timely, charismatic, and knowledgeable. The crews worked diligently and efficiently to complete this large project. Jared Bluhm was on site daily. Excellent cleanup. The final result is a beautiful backyard that turned out better than we'd imagined. Although the design did not have the same panache as the 2 other bids (not colorized oversized plans with a lot of plantings), the vision for the hardscapes was similar and the price was significantly less. They gave us a 5% Angie's List discount, which added up given the size of the project (discount included in the price listed). We recommend Bluhm Bros for any landscaping project without hesitation and we plan to hire them back next year to work on the side and front of our yard.
Description of Work: On an urban lot: removed old fence, dug out backyard, graded, laid 1200 square feet of pavers for walkway and patios with appropriate base, placed planting beds & mulch with brick border, moved shed to corner of the yard on a bed of river rock, sodded the yard, placed chilton walkways, and made brick/block steps in 3 different areas.

It was great. He came to give an estimate and stayed until we both understood what was going to happen, when and how much. He gave me a written estimate and a date. He came and checked on the work while in progress, and they came when planned and finished in days. They had to work in a very small space, and they did a great job.
Description of Work: They took out all of the small rock and old sidewalk from the back and front yard; moving the rock to in back of the garage and hauling away all the concrete. They smoothed out the yard, laid a beautiful cobblestone path and firepit and laid mulch. They installed a boulevard walk and provided a reference for carpentry work for an additional deck, steps and trellis.

Eden Bluhm is clear, knowledgable, and seems to care genuinely about his work. Bluhm Brothers brought in a large crew, worked efficiently, and followed up on more than one occasion when we had questions. The sod took beautifully, we receive complements on the patio (Eden recommended the colors), and the grading has led to a much drier basement. I give them my highest recommendations for professionalism, quality, and attentive service. I look forward to finding a reason to hire them again.

Eden was very knowledgeable and honestly told us what landscaping he would advise. He didn't think we needed to make radical changes. We are very pleased with the walk. Previous clients were very happy with their work and they had a good rating when I did check on Angie's list. The work crew didn't seem totally informed about the design. They left a small pile of sand on the edge of the walkway with no explanation. Make sure crew has the description of the project and a copy of the design sketch. Be around when work is done.
Description of Work: Installed a paved walkway from the deck to the garage, replacing old hexagon stepping stones.

They were very responsive and I like the fact that they came out when they said they would and that they had it all done. The owner of the company is on site at the time the job is done so they are there to supervise their employees.

Eden's cost estimates were almost exactly double the cost estimates of 2 others on Angie's List (Dehn's & L & R Suburban). Maybe Bluhm Bros is worth the extra cost, but I'll risk it & hire somebody else.

Bluhm Bros had originally given us a quote to make a patio in this area, however we decided it was too much $$ for us at this time, and we went with the cheaper mulch/sod option. They were great to work with. Very polite and responsive. They even dumped a bunch of extra dirt around the front foundation of our house where we needed some fill to alleviate basement seepage. Our only complaint is that although they accept credit cards, they dropped their 10% AL discount to only 5% to defray the cost of the credit card transaction. This was disappointing.
Description of Work: They removed weeds, roots and debris from our small backyard. After grading and adding top soil, they laid sod and mulch.

Eden Bluhm and his crew were on time each day they worked here. They were professional and worked through the rain and cold weather streak we had on that particular week. They did a beautiful job on the patio and the sod looks good too. Although we have yet to cut it because it's only been a little over a week since it was completed. They went above and beyond and dug an extra small bed for me and put down some leftover sod on some patchy areas in the front yard. They were reasonably priced based on other proposals given to us. We would definitely give them business again.
Description of Work: 1. Patio install (16x20) on 6-8 inch compacted base with proper water run-off, using 3 part random pavers. 2. Buried downspout under patio to lawn area. 3. Removed existing turf from entire backyard. 4. Graded entire backyard with topsoil. 5. Installed new sod. 6. Installed new bed areas with plastic edging and provided mulch to each bed area. 7. Removed turf from small area on side of house (6' x 24') and provided proper grading and water runoff and installed new sod.

I was very pleased with my whole experience with Bluhm Brothers. They are a quality team- from the estimate to the clean-up. Prompt, friendly, careful, & hard-working. They did exactly what they said they would (if not more!) & for the price they quoted. I hope I will have an opportunity to work with them again in the future.
Description of Work: John & his crew (4 guys total) removed all (lots of it!) the landscape rock in the plant beds surrounding my home, added top soil & mulch, & in one area especially, modified the soil grade for improved rain run-off. They also removed a fire ring in the lawn & filled it in with dirt & sod. They completed the work in one day & it looks great.

Outstanding work. This is the second time we've used them (their first job for us was even larger and more involved). I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to anyone. I don't know if their prices are necessarily the lowest, but the quality of their work is second to none. Both Eden and his brother Jared are flexible, charming and easy to work with. Eden handles most of the sales while Jared and his crew do most of the hands-on work. Jared's work is very careful and precise, and he's willing to work with you to make sure everything meets your expectations. Both times we've hired them they've ended up giving us more than we asked for (removing a stump that the arborist hadn't yet removed, leaving us leftover mulch and carting it to another part of the yard for us, etc.) I expect we'll use them for any future landscaping needs as well.
