Their prices were fair. They came when they said they would. I would hire them again.
Description of Work: They brought us a truck load of mulch. They dropped it off on a tarp for us and we hired someone else to spread it.

This is an update to my original review. As I originally stated, the work was done well and mostly to my specifications in October of last year. I am posting this update because I had two, now three azalea bushes that died. I had many planted, but of the specific variety, 3 out of 8 died. I have been in communication (mostly me calling) to get the bushes replaced; an expectation that I would have in the first year. Response to my request was vague and, after several calls on my part, I have been told that they will not be replaced because it was due to the harsh winter. This is an unacceptable response and I will not use this landscaper again.

We bought the house and knew that we would need to spend money on landscaping because the property had been neglected. We got more than one estimate. All were about the same price, but Busy Bee was able to come sooner than other landscaping companies. They were delayed by a week or two, mostly due to the weather, finishing another job. Ed and his crew worked and got the job done in about two weeks. He came to check on the job almost every day, when he wasn't doing the specific work. Busy Bee planted 18 flowering azaleas, a Japanese maple and other plants that complemented the bushes, along the front of the house. They spent time cutting some scrub trees and doing a lot of trimming of existing bushes, opening up the areas in the yard that were overgrown, so the mature plantings would be visible. The thing I liked best was Ed's accessibility and on-site supervision. He would check in with us to make sure he was doing the job as we wanted. All plants are doing well and I will have a beautiful yard come spring.
Description of Work: Ed gave us a verbal estimate and plan when he came to review our needs. We accepted the price and his crew removed rock and old shrubs from the front and side of the house and put in lower growing, flowering shrubs and other plants. They trimmed all the other bushes and laid down new mulch in all areas that needed it. The also power washed the outside of the house and the front walk.

He came out 2-3 times to make sure the problem was solved. He also tended to our garden out front too. I would recommend him to anyone who needs landscaping.
Description of Work: We had some water damage where water was overflowing from our gutters and washing out our gravel/sod around our house.

They scraped the lawn, leveled it off. They sodded the front part and seeded the back part. I liked the price and the quality of their work. There was nothing I disliked.
Description of Work: I last used Busy Bee Landscaping to resurface and put sod in for our front lawn about 2 weeks ago.

I contacted this company for an estimate on my mother's property. I received two phone calls one for the address and another stating it would be better to do the work the beginning of October, which was fine with me, no estimate was given, he would do so when we meet on the property. I haven't heard from them again. I found my new contractor through Face Book!! Not sure why I had to pay for two companies who's reviews were good, but were a big disappointment. Sorry, just the truth. Maybe someone else will have better luck!

Ed is absolutely fantastic. I called his company to get our yard mowed and weed-trimmed after my husband hurt his ankle. Ed's crew came out that same week and did a fantastic job during working hours - for an acre size lot it was $70. He came by on Saturday to collect his money, while he was here, we asked his opinion on landscaping for our yard. So, he walked us through the yard pointing out all of our issues, and what could be done to correct them. (We have a sloping yard with drainage issues). He understood our budget and worked within it. Although he was delayed over a week to get started (due to the fact it rained every single day), he gave us a re-schedule date, and stuck to it. The entire project lasted 2 full days. Our yard was immaculate after his crew left. He even seeded/strawed bare spots in the yard where we had trees taken out by a different tree service company. He did everything he said he was going to do (and more), and it looks great. After the job was complete, he came back again Saturday morning to collect -- we didn't need to be at home for any of the project. We probably could have gotten estimates from other companies to get a rock bottom price, however, we felt Ed's service was top-notch, and we will definitely use him again in the future. Thanks Ed!
Description of Work: Busy Bee performed landscaping in our yard. He created 12 mulch beds in our yard, planted a japanese maple tree, arbor vitae, some soft touch holly bushes, about 20 hosta plants, and 2 grass plants, and some striped monkey grass. He also brought in some rock to border the main planting bed at our front door (since its on a slope). He also brought in a big rock for ornamental purposes.
Ed's crew tore out old stumps to put down brick pavers, really enlarging the size of the patio. The brick work is beautiful. They built new steps,with timbers and pavers, replaced rotting timbers in a retaining wall, built stone planters and a retaining wall. Came every day that they were supposed to and did an outstanding job. We are extremely pleased with the outcome and feel that Ed has given us a whole new outdoor living space.
Description of Work: We purchased an older home , built in 1977, with a crumbling patio and rotting steps leading to the side yard. We gave Ed, the owner of Busy Bee, a call. He came when promised and developed a fantastic plan. He had his crew remove old stumps and fill in with pavers, which gave us a tremendous amount of space. They also filled in another old planting area with pavers, replaced rotting timbers on a retaining wall , and made a beautiful stone planting areas and retaining wall. The steps were replaced with timbers and pavers and are just beautiful. His crew was hardworking and dedicated and carried out his plan to a "T", even working in the rain to get the job done. They took the time to do things in the most attractive way, not just the quickest way. They were punctual and courteous, even returning after the job was completed to repair some brick that was disturbed when new gutters were installed. Ed did everything he said that he would, and then some, at a very fair price. Would definitely use Busy Bee in the future.

Ed also worked at my fiance's house this year and did an outstanding job, clearing property that was overgrown and hadn't been touched in several years. My fiance couldn't say enough good things about Ed or his crew. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Description of Work: Ed Henderson has been doing yardwork at my house for over years. His staff is prompt, extremely thorough, and impeccable in their work. Ed talks with the homeowner before he starts a job, gives an estimated date and amount of time, actual cost, and stops back to make sure the work was done to the homeowner's satisfaction. His prices are also very reasonable!

Description of Work: Busy Bee Landscaping put some dirt in my front yard to shape it up a little bit. They also planted some plants that I had purchased.
