Eric was very prompt in contacting me after my initial inquiry, and scheduled an appointment within a few days. After I signed the contract with them, we were able to schedule the actual work within two weeks. The work took about a day and a half to complete. I was unable to be there most of the time, but when I checked with them, the crews were polite and hard-working. They left the yard neat and clean at the end of the first day. There are a few items that have not been completed as agreed (uncovering a clean out access point that was covered with mulch, removing some branch trimmings) and have not yet been taken care of about two weeks after the original work was done. This is the reason for giving them a B in quality of work. (If an A- was possible, that would have been my score) Overall, I am very pleased with the work Basile did and would recommend them to someone who is looking for landscaping. I had not planned to have this much work done originally, but am glad I did after seeing the results!
Description of Work: Removed an old railroad tie planter in front of house and installed new plants in its place. Also planted a lilac bush.

They were very responsive. They were very professional and kept me informed of everything going on. They cleaned up after themselves. The workers were knowledgeable about the job they were doing. Overall, we were pleased with what they did for us.
Description of Work: They came to my house and added in two drains. They dug up and removed a small sidewalk from the side of my house and installed sod. Also, they moved some shrubbery but then had to transplant them.

We wanted a dry creel bed for our sloping yard. We get the run off from three other houses. They had to run 65 feet by several trees and deal with the root systems. Rather than bring in a Bobcat and tear up our yard, they dug the whole thing by hand. They planted trees and bushes between the creek and our neighbors which will give us a great screen in the future. They also brought in rock and landscaped the area around our deck and ran the drain from the house out to the creek bed. The weather was terrible during all this, with heat and heavy rain storms. They even took some of the grass they dug up and filled in some bare spots we had. We didn't ask them to do that, but we glad they did.
Description of Work: Dry creek bed running the length of our yard. Trees and bushes between the creek bed and our fence. They mulched this whole area. Rock under and around our deck.

The initial contact took us about a week to get a hold of them. We never met mike until the end of the job but we met with his landscape architect Sarah. It was a big project. They were tied up with some other jobs so it took a little while for them to start working. I was very impressed with the crew and how hard working they were. One of their mini bobcats broke down but they didn't stop working they started wheelbarrowing the dirt.
Description of Work: Mike Basile came out to my house and regraded our whole yard. They filled up a big pit in our yard. They made a stone circle for my boys to be able to bicycle. They did all our yards lighting. They did a lot of work for us.

I was very satisfied with the work they did. I have since used them again and have even recommended them too.
Description of Work: They did some pretty extensive landscaping for us. They redid our whole backyard, put in a drainage ditch (excavated and then installed some drains) and then finished up the backyard by putting in sod and flower beds. They finished the whole thing up quite nicely.

It was a pleasant experience from beginning to end. Everyone I dealt with was very professional, efficient, and accommodating from Katie in the office to Mike Basile, the owner, and his installation crew. They did an excellent job. Where there once was a lake is a beautiful green lawn.
Description of Work: Installed two box drains and approximately 120 feet of French drain along the back of the property and the left side of the house. Installed approximately 90 feet of solid corrugated pipe to outlet the collected water from the box drains, three downspouts, and French drain. The system has a pop-up emitter on the slope in the front yard. Also, installed two pallets of Fescue sod to replace water damaged lawn and areas where drainage system was installed.

Excellent job! An estimate appointment was made the day I called (I did not have to wait for a call back). Eric had really good ideas for us. By the end of the week I had a proposal faxed to me and within 2 weeks the job was done. They even came a day early because they had an opening. The workers were pleasant and cleaned up all areas. Eric called after the work was done to make sure everything went well and that we were happy with it.
Description of Work: Removed 4 rose bushes and replaced them with barberries, removed 2 azaleas and a holly bush and planted 1 idea and 1 Japanese maple. Deep edged between the beds and turf along foundation beds, and around at least 5 trees. Installed mulch to all beds and tree rings.

They came out right away for the estimate. They were very responsive. The workers and office staff were wonderful. The owner came out to look at the yard as well as to check on the workers as they worked.
Description of Work: They did some landscape clean up and reshaping of what I already had. They also did some lawn work- aeration and dethatching of my lawn and some over-seeding.

Mike came out and gave us an estimate for replacing our rotting retaining wall (about 25 ft. long by 8 ft. high) and stairs as well as clearing brush and small trees from about 1/4 acre of property and seeding it with grass. While Basile's bid was not the lowest or the highest that we received, the job required tearing up part of our driveway and Mike was the only one who thought to include the cost of replacing the driveway in his bid. We also chose an aluminum fence for the top of the wall and stair railing. It took a while for them to get started (it was the busy summer season), but they worked hard once they did start (there were two delays: one caused by permit issuing backups at city hall and the other by weather). Dan and his crew were fantastic and Mike came out to check on things periodically as well. The yard looks great and the wall and stairs are exquisite. Mike and his company were extremely professional and a pleasure to work with.

Very responsive, paid 50% down and they did the work right away. Very slow to invoice on the remaining balance (which is good for my cash flow I guess).
Description of Work: Removed old fencing, cleaned out entire front yard scrub and weeds (maybe 1/6 of an acre that had a lot of unwanted vegetation and old bricks as mock fencing).

Mike Basile came out and gave an estimate. He was very helpful and made some good suggestions about using some retaining wall stones already on the property rather than buying new ones. He listened well to what I needed and came up with a good plan. The work crew came when scheduled, completed the job in time for delivery of the shed, and cleaned up well afterwards. There was an unexpected issue with the uneven size of some of the stones, but they took down the problem parts that were already done and redid it. Ryan did most of the stone work and did a good job in bad weather conditions (cold and raining).
Description of Work: They created a level base of crushed stone surrounded by retaining wall blocks for an 8'x14' outdoor shed on an incline. This included a ramp of crushed stone leading up to the door.

We didn't do the project, but plan on having them do it in the spring.
Description of Work: They did not do any work, but I wanted to submit a report about how professional and courteous they were. I don't remember the name of the person who did the bid, but she was very knowledgeable and I felt comfortable with her lawn advice. The part that I really liked was the fact that she wrote up a bid on the spot. I am so tired of having people tell me "the bid will be in the mail in a day or two" and never hearing from them again! We decided not to hire them to do lawn and yard work this fall, but instead will do it this spring. We will be sure to contact them when we are ready!

This was the first time we used this company and they were fast and efficient. They came out on a Friday for an estimate and by Tuesday they were in my yard getting it done. This surprised me since it is the busy season for them. I was able to communicate well with them in what I needed done and they did a great job.
Description of Work: Basile aerated, over seeded and fertilized our front and backyard lawn for a total of 7911 square feet. It took 3 guys about 45 minutes to do.

Description of Work: They built a small retaining wall to deal with problems with mulch washing down the hill. The wall is 25 feet long and about a foot and a half high.
