The work has gone well so far and really like the flexibility that he offers on various services. He's done leaf cleanup, pine straw, and bush trimming for us over the last couple of years and this year opted for him to also take care of the lawn. It's nice because he only cuts it when needed - ususally every week but sometimes only every ten days or so if it hasn't grown much. He seems to have good intuition about when the work needs to be done and only charges by the service. It's also nice that he's the owner/operator, so any communication about what or when you need something done is directly to him.
Description of Work: Chuck takes care of the lawn and shrubs - cut, edging, trimming, pine straw in the spring, leaf cleanup in the fall.

Response from VAUGHAN LANDSCAPES
This client asked me to perform a number of tasks and I priced them individually. He only asked for me to re-seed his yard which we did. after repeated request to re- meet with him to discuss a problem with his irrigation system, which we do not due. I referred him to another contractor. This customer did not seem to be rational and I was fearful for my welfare and of my employees. I believe there is a need for contractors to have a list of customers with whom you do not want to work for. I saw trouble with this subscriber when he started requesting several meetings with me often typing in capital letters. I would rather have a poor review than to be defending a possible law suit.

Description of Work: I called him to get an estimate done for fall cleanup of our landscape. We made an appointment. when the day arrived, he called to cancel about an hour before he was to come. Granted it was because we were getting some rain from a hurricane but it was very mild and it wasn't enough to stop a competing landscaper from keeping his appointment. So I rescheduled with Vaughan. The day of the second appointment, he called again to cancel. I'm glad he had the courtesy to call instead of just not showing up, but I was so frustrated by the two successive cancellations, I don't intend to set up another attempt.

He was extremely helpful. He didn't charge me at all. I am very grateful that he shared with me his knowledge and advise. All I had to do was clean out the french drain to solve the problem. I would definitely call him for work in the future.
Description of Work: He came out and helped me identify why I was getting leak into the garage. I was having a drainage problem in the yard. He located a french drain that I didn't know about. He didn't do any work but he investigated the issue and linked it to a source.

I can't express enough how pleased I am, but will try. So much was done and so much more then I asked for! I have a very large retaining wall flowerbed that was overgrown immensely with crab grass, weeds, that had not been taken care of for sometime, as well as needing a large amount of mulch for both front and back o the house flower beds. Chuck came over and gave me an estimate. He arrived promptly and on time for the estimate. Chuck is a very nice man, and I was very pleased to have met him. We set a date after I received the more then fare price of $455, which if you would have seen the jungle growing, you would know how fare a total price this was. Today, Chuck arrived with another gentleman, exactly at the time promised and began working, and working hard. For just two of them they worked very hard and very surprisingly fast, compared to other landscapers I have used. But I got so much more then I asked for!!! To help prevent weed control, because I am lazy, he sprayed to help prevent weeds from growing before re-mulching. Then laid down the mulch, very thick. Other landscapers, I have used in the past didn't lay a thick bed like I originally asked, but Chuck did. It was so thick we even had some left over. Rather then charging me for mulch that wasn't needed and leaving the price stand, Chuck reduced the price as originally given from $455-$340, so I can highly recommend Chuck as a honest businessman, which I have found is hard to find. But not only did he do what I asked, he also sprayed for weeds as mentioned, he edged the flowerbed, and even sprayed the driveway cracks where weeds were growing, and the back stone walkway where weeds had overgrown, as well as edging the back flower bed to make it look very nice and stand out. I would highly recommend VAUGHAN LANDSCAPES!!!! I will definitely be in contact with Chuck again this fall for lawn needs, as well as landscaping, and landscaping maintenance. Again I am so happy with the work that was done, and the on timely response, I highly recommend Vaughan Landscapes. Thank you Chuck, and I look forward to doing business with you again.

Prior to our first service, Chuck came over, discussed our needs, and gave us for a price. He arrived promptly as scheduled and mowed at the height we discussed. Chuck was very helpful in advising us as to how often and what treatments we needed for our fescue lawn. We found him very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.

Mr. Vaughan promised to provide an estimate within a week of my call (time was not important to me) and he arrived as promised. We met on Saturday, when he quoted a price. When I arrived home on the following Turesday, the job had been completed, and Mr. Vaughan called me on Thursday to see if I was satisfied with the work performed. I was very satsified.

very well, Chuck was very open to discussion regarding unconventional plants. the new plants he brought in were as big or even bigger than what we hoped for and offered immediate privacy. One of the plants subsequently died and he offered us credit for a replacement. He also cut the grass a few times for us and the lawn looked great

Unfortunately I never had the chance to meet Mr. Vaughan. When I made the appointment for him to come to my house, he asked me to email him the date and time and my address which I did. On the day of the appointment when he was 15 minutes late, I called him. He said he had lost my email and did not know where I live. I did not re-schedule.

Chuck was very responsive to my initial request for an estimate. We met and he was very specific about what was needed in the yard. His estimate was reasonable. We scheduled a time for him to work on the house and he completed the work as agreed.
Description of Work: Chuck helped me get my yard ready before putting it on the market. His services included putting pine straw (30+ bales) at various points in the yard, trimming the boxwoods, mowing and raking the yard, sowing new seed in the backyard and mulching the areas where the flowers were blooming.

Excellent - I was very pleased with both Chuck's personable service and the finished result of the landscaping. The layout looks much more balanced and refreshed. I am happy with the direction Chuck provided and he has followed up appropriately. He guarantees any plants he installs for 1 year.
Description of Work: I asked Chuck to come out and bid on giving our original landscaping a face-lift. My husband and I have little-to-no gardening skill and wanted something refreshing but low maintenance. Chuck spent an hour with me providing suggestions on different landscaping and layout options. I had different options to review and then contacted him with my selections. The price he quoted seemed very fair for the work to be performed. He was able to remove old shrubs, move existing plants and put in new plants and trees in one day. Hardwood mulch was also laid down.

Chuck is always very responsive to my phone calls. His work is excellent. However, I am particularly impressed with his integrity. When I asked about aerating and reseeding our lawn, he stated that it would be a waste of our money, given the current drought. I appreciate his honest opinions and plan to call on him for all of our yard work.
Description of Work: Chuck cleared out an overgrown "natural" area and put out pine straw. He attended to other "islands" in the yard and began rehabilitating them.

Chuck was perfect right from the start - he called us back when we called him, he showed up when he said he would, and he was very clear about what he felt like he could do for us as well as the pieces that were better suited for someone else to perform (we had a large area where we needed brush removal and grating). We couldn't have been more happy with Chuck's work, price, and overall working relationship. Plus, he is a really nice guy!
Description of Work: We had Chuck come and look at our yard to recommend what all we could do to enhance it's appearance. He gave us some pointers of what we could do ourselves, and made some suggests about specific plants to include in certain locations. We also had him buy and plant various items in our yard as well as clear some light brush.
