Overall it went well. They did a good job of removing 11 diseased plants for a very reasonable price and their mulch price was also competitive. The quality of the mulch looks good. It was clear that they covered our beds with more mulch than the people we were dissatisfied with last year and they did a good job of clearing the beds of larger weeds rather than just dumping the mulch on top. They mistakenly dumped mulch on a part of our lawn adjacent to a bed that wasn’t to be mulched which meant that they didn’t have quite enough mulch to finish one bed but they are bringing out extra at no cost to us to rectify that and we actually like the look of our new larger than anticipated bed! They are also responsive to email. It took a couple weeks for them to be able to come out after we hired and took a while for them to come out for the initial estimate them but it is the busy season so that is understandable. A minor issue is that they mistakenly cut an irrigation line when removing plants but they let us know about the issue and the cost to fix that will be less than $2 so it isn't a big deal. I'd have likely cut a line too if I was removing the plants myself.
Description of Work: We hired them for mulching and for removing several diseased plants.

A little hard to get in contact and schedule. However was very pleased with the result. Cost was significantly lower than other's prices and the work was done quickly and professionally. I will definitely use again.

They responded fairly quickly to our request. They agreed to do an estimate with no one available to meet them. They emailed us the estimate as promised. Very fair price. Came on time and mulched as promised. Very professional work, punctual, and courteous. The yard looks great.

The service was great. Alex and his team finished in one day, covering all the areas that needed mulch, trimmed the trees well, and removed and then covered/mulched the bushes we needed removing. The service was great, Alex was very easy to talk to and discuss the project with, and the finished results look fantastic. We asked for a different type of mulch for our raised garden bed, and Alex had no problems installing this for us. We would definitely recommend Alex/MulchMan and use his services again.
Description of Work: Alex and his team delivered and installed mulch for roughly 13 cubic yards worth of surface area, trimmed our crepe myrtle trees, and removed some very stubborn holly bushes. He even trimmed up some existing holly bushes that we asked him to do on the day of service.

Description of Work: I was having trouble finding someone to provide and spread hardwood bark mulch. Several businesses (all on Angie's list) never returned my call or responded to my email. The service I'd used the last couple of years wanted to charge me more than I thought was warranted (you can easily find out how much it cost to have mulch dumped in your driveway), so I was shopping around. I ended up with three bids, two of which I thought were ridiculous. Mulchman came in close to what I had paid my previous service last year. But they did a much better job of spreading the mulch, paying a lot of attention to detail. I hope to use them again next spring.

Mr. Cochrane was very helpful and extremely knowledgeable about not only mulch, but also landscaping and lawn care in general. He brought up a number of issues and ideas for consideration, that I would not have thought of otherwise. He and his crew were very professional and courteous, and even did a few extras to ensure that the end result was the best it could be. I do plan to use their services again and would highly recommend Mulchman to others looking for not only mulch but a number of other services they now provide.
Description of Work: They initially provided an onsite consultation to determine what I needed, including helping me figure out to create a better distinction between the wooded/natural area and my lawn area. Once we agreed up on a plan, they delivered the mulch and arranged it according to plan.

He was a very hard worker and the end product was great, however he was on the expensive side.
Description of Work: We hired this company to come to our home and spread mulch. I do not recall how much we spent.

No work was actually completed.
Description of Work: I requested an estimate from the company for cleaning and mulching several existing garden beds in addition to some basic landscaping upgrades. I received a call back from the owner saying he would stop by the property for an estimate within a week and never heard back from them again, I do not want to make several calls for an estimate. I am flexible but if a company wants my business, they will provide an estimate when requested. Since they never even provided an estimate, I will NOT contact them again.

Response from MulchMan
[removed member name], I apologize for the inconvenience regarding the estimate last Spring. We hadn't completely set up with Angie's List until now, so I had not seen your review. It was my fault and I apologize. I had not gotten your email address over the phone and had just written down your phone number. The estimate had been completed but when I tried to call the number it did not go through, which was probably because I had written a number down wrong. April is our busiest time of the year and during the rush I did not get back to your house and leave an estimate, which I apologize for not doing. Hopefully down the road we can do business for you and offer a discount for the inconvenience. Sincerely, Alex Cochrane President MulchMan
