STREAMING VISIONS LLC Landscaping and sales

Vince (owner) is nice, mostly professional and got the job done sooner than I expected. Communication was a little spotty and I felt a little bit like I was an inconvenience since it wasn't a huge job. Update 8/5/14: The vines planted were not growing so my aunt helped me dig them up we discovered that there was no soil planted or any fertilizer. The vines were just stuck straight into the sand! Additionally, the two-inch deep rocks were right up to the stems of the vines, essentially suffocating them. My proposal and what I signed and agreed to include "quality soil", which was clearly omitted. The drip system also does not put out enough water to effectively water the vines. I discussed my findings with a knowledgable employee at Jericho nursery and she was very surprised to hear that a professional landscaper that she knew pretty well would plant new vines with no soil and no fertilization and tell me to water them for 15 min daily on a ~1gallon/hour drip (not even close to enough water, she said). He would not warranty his work because I did not want to pay extra for an automatic timer on the drip system. I'm also slightly dissatisfied with the rocks as they were not raked evenly, and there are several areas where the sand is showing through.

Vince met with us several times at our home to help design and plan a large landscape project. Due to scheduling conflicts we were unable to give the job to Streaming Visions. However, we would highly recommend Vince for any landscape project because he is easy to work with, very professional and knowledgeable, patient, reasonably priced and honest.

The Grill is beautiful and they were responsive to our ideas. Maurice is a very hard worker with a lot of dedication to his craft. I would reccomend them to anyone! We will have them back at a later date to do a water feature!

Good work, good price - guess that's why they're busy and weren't able to do it sooner. Been very happy with it.

Vince was very polite, kind, helpful, creative, and hard-working. Our huge backyard was transformed from a desert junk yard into a beautiful yard my neighbors and family are jealous of. Vince and his team put in grass with sprinklers, concrete paths, tons of gravel, huge moss boulders, raised my cinderblock walls, and installed a new handmade wooden gate. Vince went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I were happy, and modified things when we were not. He and his team pulled weeds in our front yard, even though they did not have to. His workers were very polite and nice, spoke English very well (which made it easier to communicate when something came up), worked full days, and cleaned up after themselves. Vince was prompt in answering calls and emails, and very understanding and accommodating when we asked to make modifications to plans. I would definitely hire Streaming Visions again, and recommend them all the time to neighbors and friends.

Did an excellent job. One miscommunication, but I caught it in time. I would definitely use them again.

They did a beautiful job. Vince was a very cooperative and agreeable person to work with throughout the job.

I had a crush rock walkway around the house that was washed out due to heavy rains. I got 3 estimates from different companies to replace the walkway with concrete and Streaming Visions had the best price and the most creative ideas. After talking to Vince we decided to put a slate stamp effect on the concrete - it was an excellent idea. The job took two days. The first day, they dug up and hauled out all the old rock and soil by wheel barrow since they could not get heavy equipment into the yard - intense manual labor but they were very professional about it The next day, the concrete was poured - again hauled in by wheel barrow and then stamped. Maruis supervised the concrete pouring and stamping. A couple days after pouring the walkway, Marius came back out to inspect the site and make sure everything was to my satisfaction. The end result is a beautiful walkway that will last for a good long time. All of the employees at Streaming Landscapes were very friendly, and hard working and professional. I would definitely use them again and recommend them for any concrete or landscaping needs.

Streaming Visions LLC is run by Vince and his father Marius. These guys are great to work with. Vince took more than enough time to work out design details with me. And, Marius did a great job laying out the final layout in my backyard. Both guys are really personable and easy to work with. Further, they were open to any alterations that I had during the install and answered any question that I had. The patio that I got was better than I had imagined. A beautifully colored and stamped concrete with the perfect shape to fit the yard. The pathways around my house are exactly like I?d imagined and the xeriscape with all the plants and trees looks awesome! On top of that, they cleaned up every night before leaving so it didn?t look like I was living at a construction site. Oh, I didn?t mention the crew? Super hard working and a very nice bunch of guys. I would recommend Streaming Visions LLC to anyone looking for great landscaping design and install at a competitive price.

They never showed up or called to reschedule. I am giving a "D" grade because they at least returned my initial call.

I received three estimates for this project and chose Vince with Streaming Visions. When he came to do the estimate, he explained what he recommended and why, and his focus was on efficient use of the sprinklers and also on putting in new sod that would be drought resistant and would make the most of the water. He listened to what I wanted and provided everything I asked, and his crew even went the extra mile by adding auto drip water to my existing plants even though that wasn't requested. His crew did this large project in 10 days, including a few days when they were not here as I'm sure they were doing other projects. They worked hard every day, even in the summer heat, and always made things neat before leaving for the day. A few days after they finished, I had some questions about how to care for the newly laid sod, and Vince made time in his schedule to come to the house and talk with me. He spent time here and made sure I was comfortable with everything before he left. I gave this company a "B" in professionalism because, while Vince is very friendly and easy to talk with, he doesn't have a standard written contract that both parties sign. This was important to me, so Vince agreed to let me write one that we both signed, so that's what we did. I did suggest that he look into using legal contracts in the future because they can protect both the business and the customer. But aside from that, I really am very happy with the work that was done and in how attentive Vince is to questions and concerns. I would definitely hire him again!

We contacted Streaming Visions along with several other landscape contractors to get estimates to redo our backyard. We wanted to get rid of all grass, existing shrubs, and existing decorative bark. We also wanted to replace our old drip system since there were constant leaks that were causing us to waste water. We set up a time to meet with Vince and he arrived promptly. He gave us some ideas, took measurements, and gave us an estimate within several days. His estimate was in the middle, neither the cheapest or anywhere near the most expensive. Vince was extemely easy to work with, and not in the least bit pushy. We negotiated a price and then set a time for the work to start. His crew came on time and worked extremely hard since there was a lot to do to remove the existing stone, bark, grass and shrubs. We planted a "lot" of new flowers and shrubs and virtually all seem to be doing well so far. A couple of very minor issues were taken care of immediately and without complaint. We are extremely happy with the end product and would definitely use Streaming Visions again.

They were excellent. I was happy with the job they did.

The finished feature is very close to the vision that we all agreed upon during the design phase. We are very pleased. The starting date was quite extended from our initial meetings but we were well informed and work started on the date scheduled. Because this was a unique and custom design, there was quite a bit of communication and idea sharing as the work progressed. The crew of David, Randy and Mike were very dilligent in their efforts and worked very hard in less than ideal working circumstances. The water feature was created and built on a d*** between two ponds that had different elevations and were full of 48" of water and very valuable Koi and plants. The crew did a great job of protecting the fish and plants. The had to spend a fair amount of time in chest waders to get the rock placements just right and were suspended above the ponds on 2X12 planks a good deal as well. All of the guys contributed technically as well as asthetically and were very flexible in their approach and receiving direction and suggestions from me. I tried to stay out of their way as much as possible until they came to a point of owner decision making. We had a budget that we were trying to stay within on a time and materials contract basis. We were able to accomplish 85-90% of our vision and stay within the budget and we were satisfied with the results. As a custom project (as opposed to a kit with plans etc.) it will always be a work in progress as we continue to tweak flow rates through valves that were installed, angle and position of flow diverter stones and just general sound tuning. We really enjoyed working with the crew and will actively refer work to them and use them again ourselves in all likelyhood.

Verty prompt, professional, detailed

See above, everything was easy, smooth, wonderful.

I quoted three different landscapers. Vince was the last one and was very busy at the time. His original sketch best represented my vision and he had great ideas to offer. We first talked in November but he was very busy. I waited for him to be free to do the work in March as I like his ideas, his plans and his pricing. I'm glad I waited. It was a very good experience working with Streaming Visions. Every person I dealt with from Vince, his father and his crew were warm, professional and courteous. I feel that I picked the right company for the job and am well pleased with the result. I wouldn't bother to quote another company again. I would just call Streaming Visions first.

Had a little trouble getting the initial appointment nailed down, but after that everything went great. They came out and set the forms. The are was not square so they added a few square feet so that the final product would look right. The day they were scheduled to pour, I came home and had a new concrete pad! Nice work.

They landscaped, installed a fountain, fixed my sprinklers and did some other miscellaneous tasks. Vince gave me a fair price and offered ideas as well as drawings. I had to wait for a number of weeks before they could get started but I'm glad I did. His team did a good job and it was important to the owner that they get it right and they did.

Vince is a gem! He knows his stuff, and goes out of his way to help the customer. He's punctual and is a man of his word. His staff is courteous and respectful. They came out on a Saturday to help put in plants before winter hits.

Response to our request for an estimate was prompt. Vince was thorough and detailed his plan. Work began on date promised. Employees were extremely professional and did excellent work. Job took approx. 3 weeks. Highly recommend; would definitely use again.

It took 2 days to get the old landscape of rocks and grass out and lay down the new pattern. Not much of a story, but they did a very professional job.

We met with Vince and 2 other recomended landscapers at the beginninng of May. I was impressed with Vince right off the bat. You could see that he has a real joy for what he does. We are in a unique situation since we own the house in Albuquerque but also live in NY. It was very easy to work with him and we had complete confidence in the job he would do. The work began at the end of June and we were able to be there to see most of the installation. His staff is prompt, courtious, and very neat. The plant materials chosen were spot on and Vince was more than willing to work with us when we requested specific materials to be used. He went out of his way to make sure he found every plant we wanted. The finished product is wonderful and we look forward to using him when we do the back of the house.

When Vince came to measure my yard, he was honest about possible delays - a quote was going to take 1+ week, installation might not be possible until October. But his ideas were far more creative than the previous company I had consulted, and his quote was substantially less. I actually even got a quote earlier than expected, and as it turns out, they were able to fit me into their schedule quickly. The work was completed in 2 days. In fact, I never even met the workers who finished the work, but they even removed the weeds in my front yard. A couple minor tweaks were needed, and the work was completed when I came home the next day. I'm a new homeowner and never know what to expect when trying to find contractors, but I'm very happy I found Streaming Visions here. They were friendly, honest, efficient, and responsive. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I thought he had some good ideas, and he was honest in saying that he couldn't get started on it for a couple of weeks. I like him a lot. They were very efficient, nice to work with, and had some great landscaping ideas.
