Kirkwood Landscaping

Kirkwood Landscaping demonstrated amazing flexibility from the initial quotation to the finished product, as we learned more and more about the drainage problem and solution. Working together, we decided on a multi-part solution consisting of several underground drainage tubes and a rock dry creek, which the company constructed in a way that tied it in beautifully to the rest of the yard (see photos below). They clearly put a lot of thought into the design and the frequent collaboration made us feel much more confident that their design would work (and based on two heavy rainfalls in the past couple of weeks - it did!) Furthermore, I don't know that we've ever seen any crew work harder on a project, much of it in very hot and humid weather during our Indian Summer. A delight to work with, we would use them again without hesitation, and we can heartily recommend the company to anyone with a landscaping project.

Every job is done professionally, in a timely manner, and looks great. They have wonderful ideas for how I can make all my gardens -- front and back -- look terrific. In the spring, they helped straighten the wall at the front garden, refurbished stones in the back, replaced nine bushes along the side of the house, and added a number of beautiful plants in several of the gardens.

We chose Kirkwood Landscaping because of their responsiveness and knowledge. Work was done professionally in a timely manner. Result exceeded our expectations. Good combination of competence and commitment to personal service. This was a large project (for us), but Jim and Patty made this an easy decision. Would recommend Kirkwood Landscaping for any scale project and plan on using them again.

The Sutterer’s & their crew have been doing our landscaping/lawn care for the past few years. Our lawn is now in good shape, & the landscaping looks very good, too. They give outstanding service and are very knowledgeable.

On one of the hottest days of the summer, Jim, Patty and their crew arrived to clean out very overgrown landscape beds. In the high 90 degree temperatures they worked very hard removing Bermuda grass and various weeds, trimming bushes and a tree, planting annuals and mulching. Our landscape beds look wonderful! Patty returned a month later to see if weeds were returning and sprayed. We are very pleased with the job done by Kirkwood Landscaping!

Jim & Patty have done work for us for several years. They always do first quality work. They have very helpful in providing suggestions for various planting materials.

Jim and his crew are very passionate on doing a great job. They paid particular attention to the small details which made a big difference. All items were addressed on time and within budget exceeding our expectations. They also did a nIce clean up with no follow up needed.

Kirkwood Landscaping have been excellent in every way! I needed to find a landscaping company with which I could work from out of town as I am helping my aging mother who lives in Kirkwood and I live in Ohio. Kirkwood Landscaping was the perfect pick. Very knowledgeable, excellent customer service, and superb results. I would recommend them without reservation. In fact, I am working with them again on a hardscaping project in the side and backyard. Owners, Jim and Patty are great to work with!

I moved in to my house in Kirkwood in the middle of last summer, and boy the yard was not in great shape at that time! But it was too late to really make significant improvements then so this spring, the yard was a priority for me. I had some landscaping done in both the front and backyards, and am very happy with the results, my yard looks so much nicer now!! I have lot of shade in my yard, and Patty and Jim worked with me to do plants that would work. They were really great, and kept me updated throughout the process. Patty came back a few different times after the initial planting to check on the plants and do some additional fertilizing. As everyone knows, this spring/early summer has been super rainy, so it has been tough for landscapers. Due to the significant rainfall, a few of my plants died, but they will replace at no cost to me. Everything else is really thriving though, and a lot of it has bloomed or is currently blooming now.

Patty and Jim are phenomenal from start to finish. They help from design to plant selection to hardscapes and drainage issues. All of their work is outstanding. They provide excellent value for their service. This is our second set of jobs with them - they did our front yard last year. They took our bare backyard and we now have the structure, design and finished professional landscaping of a beautiful oasis in the back of our house. We have room to add if we want, but what they have done will last and be perfect as is if we want to keep it and not add. They are extremely knowledgeable about what works and what doesn't, what plant to use to accomplish ideas you might have and to provide ideas when you want something created to get a certain look. We will be using them again on at least one other project we have in mind for later this year or next year.

Wouldn’t perform work unless only to his idea. Asked for minor changes. Unresponsive. Not quite sure what the issue was for them.

Excellent work - the design is great, the plants they picked are beautiful, healthy mature specimens. Patty and Jim chose some plantings we were not aware of and they are going to work wonderfully in this location. They did drain work, rock work, bedding, the whole nine yards for the front of our newly built home and we love it. That was just Phase 1 and we are looking forward to the next parts of an overall plan for the whole yard next spring. We are very pleased and would recommend them to anyone.

Kirkwood Landscaping worked quickly and did a great job. I was not happy with the placement of my shrubs and they moved them immediately without any complaint. They just want the customer to be happy.

Kirkwood Landscaping was great. I got a quick estimate and the work was done right away. They were a great price and comparable to others. I appreciated that they talked with me before doing the work in depth. Every other contractor wanted to put down 4-6 inches of topsoil, seed and then cover with straw. Kirkwood Landscaping suggested a healthier route: applying a fine mulch. This was much more cost effective and logical since I had good soil already. Kirkwood landscaping also suggested avoiding straw since it can lead to weed growth. I appreciate their honesty. Very happy and have recommended they to many neighbors.

I cannot say enough about Patty and Jim Sutterer and the wonderful job they did with our backyard landscaping project. They were very responsive, professional, in touch frequently and it was evident they really cared about wanting to do a good job for us. They were both on the job with others they work with and they are very hard workers. We would definitely hire them again! Their price was very reasonable compared to others we spoke with and we could not be happier with the results! Thanks again Patty and Jim.

This company caters to your every need; they worked diligently and professionally. They are very personable and listen to you and what your needs are; they then make suggestions without being pushy. The final decision is yours to make.

The best thing about Kirkwood Landscaping is the personalized service JIm and Patty provide. They are responsive, hardworking, easy to work with, and very knowledgeable. They completely overhauled the landscaping along the front of our house and planted a new lawn in our backyard. We have two large dogs and lots of shade. Two other companies failed to get much grass to grow there. In just a couple of weeks, we now have a full, very green lawn. For many years, we have used relatively large landscape companies. They send out an expert to give an estimate, but then we rarely see them again as other people are sent to do the work. Their estimates are not itemized, so it is easy to hide costs. Since their company is relatively small, Jim and Patty are hands on; they not only supervise the work personally, but they also do much of it themselves. Everything in their estimate is itemized, so it is easy to adjust. They kept us involved, made suggestions, and readily made any changes we requested. If we could give them an A+, we would.

I noticed a Kirkwood Landscaping vehicle at beautifully landscaped home in Kirkwood. I have what I would consider a much small home in Kirkwood and was a bit concerned that I would receive the same attention required to spruce up my landscaping. Jim & Patti were great to work with, made good suggestions and kept the job within my budget. As a result, I just had Kirkwood Landscaping back to perform some additional work. I would highly recommend Kirkwood Landscaping. Good people and hardworking crews!

Kirkwood Landscaping took care of our landscaping and lawn maintenance needs for all five years that we lived in Kirkwood. We've moved out of state, and this is the service I miss most of all. They were kind, professional, competitively priced, and we had the prettiest lawn! If you want people who care, hire Jim and Patty. You will be well taken care of.

Exception quality, attention to detail, and customer service. Personal touches beyond what I normally would expect. I give my highest recommendation.

The project went very smoothly. Jim sprayed all the weeds and even came back for a second application prior to doing the work. After several years of neglect, my landscaping look fresh and happy again! Thanks Jim and crew.

I contacted Kirkwood Landscaping because of the Angie's List ratings. Jim & Patty worked with me on getting an estimate in a timely manner. Once we worked through a couple of revisions to the job requirement I sent in a deposit and got the job on the schedule. Patty called me with a day to get the job done earlier than expected which turned out great for us. All the work was done while my wife and I were at work so we never saw anyone, but the results were great when we got home that evening. The crew did everything we asked for and also did a great job cleaning up after themselves. We will definitely try to hire them again in the future for additional projects.

Excellent work, professional, on time, personable ..The yard looked great when job was finished.

Excellent quality and professionalism of work, would use them again

Jim came out personally to do a soil survey and then provided an estimate. He also came out to do weed control and came with a crew to finish the job. He was very easy to work with and very knowledgeable. We now actually have a green lawn we can be proud of!
