The overall work done was above expectations, the crew was very professional, punctual and neat.The follow up work to ensure the patio pavers were settled and filled in was done a bit later than expected, but this was minor in my view. The only issue is that the sod was laid over the water main to the house, and now I cannot locate it, again, not a major issue, but an inconvenience as I will have to find the location and cut away the sod at some point. The work was done on budget, in fact there was some additional items (Mulch and pine straw) which were above the estimated amounts needed which were done with no additional charge
Description of Work: RB Landscaping removed all of the old dead grass, tilled the soil adding in compost and top soil to give a better base for new grass. They then added drainage pipes to all the downspouts, routing them through a junction box to a common drain. Once complete with that they laid new Zoysia sod over the entire yard where agreed. Along the fence line they added mulch and or pine needles, again as was discussed. They also installed river rock at a low point near the fence to allow for better drainage where the natural slope of the yard had caused puddling. They also installed a new addition to our existing paver patio, doubling the size and adding a sitting wall to account for the slope in the yard and to add a nice look to the overall patio.

I used RB Landscaping for replacing the disaster of my backyard with new zoysia sod. The difference was amazing and they did a great job of grading the yard to make it smooth and level. Our neighbors were amazed at how good the bare dirt looked before the sod was even put down. Overall I am very pleased and would use them again and recommend them to my friends.

Overall, the company did what they were paid to do, on time. There weren't any problems with any employees. The grass looks really nice.
Description of Work: We had all the grass (weeds) in the front yard sprayed to kill it. The yard was tilled and graded with the help of some extra dirt. Put in some drainage that helped with some standing water problems. Zoysia sod was put in. Some weeds grew back through the sod and they came out and re-did the area without any hesitation. We have one patch of grass that doesn't seem to match the rest of the yard so that is why I gave a B for quality.

We took a long while planning our work and shopping for who to do it. RB Landscaping was one of a small number of recommendations we received from our designer. We are still reluctant to submit this review as more fixes are likely to be needed, but we figure it can't get any worse. We went to the nursery Rob works with to select three centerpieces for the planting. Right off the bat there were problems, as this vendor had very limited quantities of what we were seeking. It was not the sort of nursery we needed to be our supplier. The crew showed up as scheduled. Removal of the old vegetation was uncomplicated. Siting new plants was also quick as was the planting. That's when the problems began. There was very little amendment of the hard pack clay left by the builders taking away what little topsoil Nature had provided. We could go on at length, but suffice it to say that of 3 trees, one died within weeks because it was placed in a non-draining clay pit. I tried to get Rob to come back to correct the problem but he was busy elsewhere. By the time I decided to do this back breaking work myself, weeks had passed. The drainage I created was sub-optimal but effective. Unfortunately, it was too late for the tree and it continued to gradually wither over a few more weeks. Perennials in the garden were pretty much set on top of the pack. Even with regular watering, they barely heat of summer going from lush, foot wide specimens to tiny twigs with just a few leaves. The tree and some of the perennials have been replaced. Getting Rob back to do the job was no easy feat. Nothing was done to assure there would be no repeat of the problems. Despite abundant rain, the perennials already look bad. We'll see what's in store for the tree. Note that I have transplanted or added more than a dozen shrubs and dozens of perennials. My approach to soil amendment is hardly expert but, in a few years of tending this harsh plot, I've not lost a plant and all are thriving. I don't think it's asking too much to expect a landscaper will be at least as good as I am.

Very disappointing to read this. Would not have known he felt this way had he not submitted this review. We did some plantings for the member and one tree and some phlox did not make it thru the summer heat. We said we would replace them end of September to give them a better chance for survival and true to our word we did. We even gave the member a free plant that we just happened to have on our truck that day. All exchanges were pleasant and professional. There was no drainage work requested in our initial meeting for an Estimate. In North Carolina there is clay and it can make it hard for plant survival. Again, very disappointing that he would give us that Grade as we feel we did everything asked of us.

I sent RB an email asking if they serviced the area that I live in. The back side of Garner in the 40/42 area. I did receive an email back from Rebecca Ball, office manager, stating that she would check with the owner of the company and respond back. That was September 29, 2012. I have yet to receive back a phone call or email. At this point I will have to agree with the people who posted that they never got a reply.

I wanted to overhaul my plant beds completely. RB put together a planting plan and worked with me based on my plant selection preferences. I was very happy with the final plan. When the work was being done, I requested some last minute changes which included moving some existing plants. All my requests were taken care of. The finished product looked great.

We had an excellent experience with RB Landscaping. I received two other estimates from other companies and RB's was about the same as one and a little less than the other. We ended up choosing RB based on the positive reviews on Angie's List and because Rob seemed very easy to work with. My calls and emails were always returned within 24 hours and scheduled appointments were on time. After spraying (killing) our previous fescue lawn, Rob's team did a very thorough job of adding soil/compost, tilling and leveling our lawn. They ripped out all of our old, overgrown shrubs and trees (some very large), and added more soil and compost as needed. They then installed 'Compadre' Zoysia sod for an instant, beautiful lawn! The sod was really thick and of high quality. His team of workers were friendly, professional and very hard-working. They planted all new shrubs and trees according to our landscape plan, and were very patient working with me on placement and design. Rob definitely has a 'can do' attitude. He was willing to help us find the best solutions for our lawn and he had the experience to implement our ideas. I also think he was very fair on pricing and stayed true to his estimate.We are extremely happy with the job RB Landscaping did - our yard looks great!

Timeline was as follows: Met with customer on Saturday 8/27/11 Customer received emailed Estimate Monday 8/29/11 Follow up call was placed one week later Customer returned call on 9/12/11 with questions Customer made a decision to move forward on 9/23/11 We received our required 20% deposit from the Customer to get on our Schedule on 10/2/11 We gave Schedule Date of 10/31/11 due to being booked out 4 weeks. Customer wanted a closer date or their deposit back so we moved some things around to accomodate them and completed the work on 10/17/11 and they paid balance 7 days later. All in all a fairly smooth transaction in our opinion. A little surprised by this review and rating.

Hi Member, its Rob. We did work for you in your Backyard in 2009 (it says 3/2/11 above). You did also put a deposit down for a Patio but then changed your mind, and we gave you the deposit back no problem. I know it was 3 years ago, so I am not sure if you are mistaking us for someone else, as this review is so many years later. Hope you're doing well. Best regards, Rob Ball

I am starting to be concerned that there is another company with a similar name as ours. With this report and two others stating that there was no initial contact. As you will read in the reports of customers we have done work for, our customer service has Grade A across the board. I have no record of this member contacting us.

From the very beginning, Rob was extremely responsive. We had several quotes, but his was the first to come in, most detailed, most reasonable and exactly what we were thinking as far as design. He really listened to our needs and could see what we were trying to accomplish. Our only concern was with scheduling as we were scheduled for earlier in April and ended up not having work start until the end of April. However, when work began, his crew arrived promptly each day and worked hard until the job was completed. They dug everything by hand (trenches, patio, drains), reducing the amount of damage to our yard, and took care each day to leave the work space neat and tidy. Rob was available throughout to answer questions and go over the work being done. His attention to detail and his relationship with his crew made a huge difference in the quality of our work. We are so happy with our new outdoor space and really appreciate Rob's vision in making it happen!
Description of Work: Dug out and created a beautiful patio space in backyard with sitting walls and beds, widened driveway with pavers on both sides, added shrub bed between our house and our neighbors, planted shrubs in bed and mulched, buried downspouts and ran line to behind property line in several places, placed catch basin drain in side yard to help with drainage.

Rob was punctual and very pleasant. We didn't end up hiring him because his suggestions for tearing down the existing stacked stone walls (which we like) and replacing with hardscape walls and walkways would have been too large an investment for our home and neighborhood. We received an estimate very quickly (and professionally) for mulching and preparing 11 yards of bedding at $65 per yard. We declined because we wish to have one person do all our landscaping (mulching AND repairing our existing stone walls).

From the very first phone call to the end result, this was an overall great experience! I knew what plants I wanted in the bed but I wanted someone else to do the work to get a professional appearance. Rob was very responsive to emails and phone calls. I first sent him my ideas and a photo of the area to be done. He then came out for a site visit and gave me advice and suggestions. His estimate was reasonable. We were added to his work schedule but then found out we were having family visit before that date. Rob was kind enough to come out and get the work completed prior to the family visit. They are due here tomorrow and I can't wait for them to see the improvement! I will not hesitate to use RB Landscaping in the future and I highly recommend them. Thank you so much, Rob!

Work was performed TIMELY. All work agreed upon was completed delivering a QUALITY finished product. Great SERVICE. Clean-up of drive way mid-job to allow for Halloween - ABOVE AND BEYOND.
Description of Work: Rob and his crew did an excellent job! We were undertaking a major landscaping project in our backyard which involved creating two retaining walls to provide more flat useable yard on the lower tier and replacing a steep unusable incline with the retaining walls. The price was what it should have been and the service was outstanding! The guys showed up on time and worked feverishly to complete the job on time. HIGH INTEGRITY OF WORK - NO CUT CORNER. Overall very pleased and will go through RB Landscaping for future projects

Rob came out and did a walk around, explaining what made sense now and what made sense in the fall (ie. moving shrubs). Gave a fair estimate and adjusted since not all the mulch was needed. Professional crew came out on time, cleaned up, and our yard has NEVER looked better! Will use in the fall to complete the backyard projects after we get the concrete pad and sidewalks in. It is nice to find an honest, hardworking contractor.
Description of Work: Removed a large dead cypress and a large holly. Edged beds and enlarged tree rings to balance the yard. Trimmed shrubs, removed all waste and finished mulched all areas with premium hardwood mulch.
