Description of Work: I was happy to see the coupon for Almost Perfect Landscaping since I've heard of great reviews regarding them. I received a call from owner Frank Porter stating that the coupon is no longer valid but he could give me a price for what I wanted done on my driveway. We could not agree on a price. I asked for just the 4 hours of labor and he agreed. I asked for when he's available, and I never heard back.

Description of Work: Frank and Martine were awesome! They came within a day to give me an estimate of the work I needed done. They had great ideas and were reasonably priced! They also did not try to "sell" me on things I didn't need! They re landscaped my whole front yard and well as a portion of my backyard!

I enjoyed working on your property. It gives me great pleasure watching a home be transformed into something special. This only can be done with a caring and experienced crew as you had mentioned. I am ready for the rest...

Sorry we did not respond to your request. I wish I could satisfy all the Inquiries that come across my table however I do fall short at times. I am a owner operated business which means I estimate, supervise, and actually work in the field at times in order to keep a high quality of work. The one thing that does fall short is my responsiveness at times. Hope you found a company that will work with you.

Very sorry we did not get a chance to review your property. This time of year is gets quite confusing because of the volume we are experiencing. Also the late start in the season does not help us either. If there is anything I can do to make it up to you please call me personally on my cell 201-206-6913.

Description of Work: Our lawn & flower beds were in terrible shape when we moved in. Frank provided guidance on tree removal to maximize light and airflow through the garden to improve the chances of success with the lawn. Then he and his team reseeded our back garden with great results, and re-did all our flower beds. The beds were in terrible shape but Frank successfully re-used all viable existing plants alongside new plants. We were very happy with the end results and the professionalism of Frank and his team.

Description of Work: Called me back in response to my phone message about landscaping/retaining wall replacement. Instead of coming by my place for the estimate they brought up my house's location on satellite. They told me to measure my retaining walls and email him the numbers; from that he would give me a price quote. I had a major issue with his way of doing business. I really prefer face to face conversation with the landscaper that I would be paying thousands of $$ for his work. Needless to say we did not do business with this contractor.

Very sorry you feel that way. I have never had a customer respond like this before. I wish you would have expressed your feelings during our first conversation. At that time I may have come set up an definite appointment. I never perform work without actually seeing the site first anyhow. Glad everything worked out for you.

Sorry we could not attend to your needs. I wish I could have performed the work for you however we became under staffed and had to let some of the smaller jobs go. My only regret is that I should have either done it from the start so that you could have found another contractor earlier. I just want to make everybody happy all the time however in this case I fell short.

Description of Work: I contacted the company and asked for an estimate. Was quoted an absurd price though they had not even seen the size of the job - snow removal. Asked them to come over and see the place and give me a quote for contracting their services for the remaining of the winter. Never heard back from anyone .

Description of Work: We were very specific regarding the landscaping work that we needed done. He was able to provide what we wanted and needed with our budget. He came an gave us an estimate same day that we called. Once we had made our decision he and his crew were out on the day promised and completed the work in one day.

They did a great job!!!!
Description of Work: I contacted Almost Perfect for a major clean up and ongoing lawn maintenance. I promptly received a call and scheduled a review of the property. Frank Porter personally viewed the property and assessed the amount it would cost. My property has some serious challenges that other landscape companies couldn't handle. Frank overlooked the challenges and stated he would start the next day. As promised Frank and his crew showed up on time and several hours later the property was cleaned and spruced up. I look forward to working with Frank and his crew to do trimmings and plantings to make my property look "Almost Perfect" Great Job!!!
