Orsini was hired to bring in top soil, spread and grade it and hydroseed. The soil brought in was low quality, very sandy. In some places they put less than an inch down. But my major issue is that they decided to hydroseed on a day that we knew (all forecasts agreed) it was going to pour that night. The rain washed away large areas of dirt and seed, and even where it didn't wash away, pre-existing slate was exposed due the incredibly thin layer of dirt spread on top. You can see how bad it was from the pictures attached. This happened in 7 different spots on my new lawn. When I called to discuss it with them, no one answered, and after leaving messages, I never heard back. They don't care about their customers or doing a good job, it is just a paycheck and then you no longer matter. I advise you avoid at all costs.
Description of Work: Grading and Hydroseeding

First of all he did not answer my calls. Finally he showed up one day. We had an incomplete work done by our previous contractor. He was very arrogant. Wanted us to do things in his way rather than ours. Kept on boosting about this landscaping degree from Cornell!!! We did not like his attitude and did not hire him.

I couldn't be more pleased with the work done by Dave Orsini and his crew. They were absolutely professional, worked very hard in very hot weather and did an excellent job. Everything was scheduled very efficiently. Materials needed for the day were delivered each morning on time and Dave Orsini was on site most of the time. Even when he was not here, his crew worked well and professionally. They finished a large job in just a week. It may have been a little difficult getting in touch with Orsini Landscaping originally, but I think that's because they are busy doing work for their existing customers. Perseverance paid off and they were well worth the wait.
Description of Work: Orsini Landscaping built 2 retaining walls in our very steep backyard, graded the slope and also built a patio with steps and a landing coming out of the house. They enhanced the drainage, removed an existing decorative fence, moved several bushes and reseeded and mulched when they were done.

As was the experience of other people on Angie's list, they were unresponsive. I emailed them, then 2 days later I called them. I never got a reply. I don't know why they are in business since they have no interest in potential customers. If you're busy, at least call back and say we got your message, but are too busy.
Description of Work: Nothing.

I left a voicemail message and followed up with an email the following week. I was inquiring about a possible large home landscaping project. I did not get any response from them. However, they clearly got my message(s) since they responded to my email 6 weeks later after we had long decided to go with another contractor. It is extremely bad business practice to ignore potential customer inquiries, even if you are fully booked!
Description of Work: I had a large home landscaping project for which I wanted to receive a quote. They did not respond to voicemail or email requests.

They were great. They did 2 projects for us. The first one was done in 2005 or 2006 and was the best one. It included large retaining walls and plantings. I will definitely use their services in the future too.
Description of Work: We used the services of Orsini Landscaping for our landscaping work. Their last project was done in 2008 and it included a new walkway, new plantings and other landscaping work.

Mr Orsini came back weeks later to check on my job and make sure everything was ok. He spends time with you and has a landscape degree. I can not say enough about all that was done to my property, it changed the whole look of my house. Finishing my job up in one day was great!! The price was excellent, I had other estimates and they were not great. Orsini is professional, courteous, reasonably priced, neat and clean. My neighbors and friends loved the change in the appearance of my house.
Description of Work: I had my walkway replaced with beautiful brick pavers and curbing. The owner Dave, did a landscape design, which is lovely. He also brought my gutter drainage pipes underground and drained them out away from my house. Dave Orsini brought in a big crew and did everything in one day.

It was fabulous. He was so easy to deal with. I have history with him doing projects here and there. His crew is great, don't dilly-dally. They were all 100 percent and knows their stuff. He and his crew are very talented and put it all in motion.
Description of Work: They installed a pond-less landscaping feature, perennials were surrounded by a stone wall.

Dave met with us over the winter and worked in conjunction with us to design and plan for the entire project. We were presented with a detailed layout of the plan and work began as soon as his crew was able and all the supplies were in. It took his crew approximately 1 week to complete the installation. All members of his team were courteous and clean and very hard workers. They were all meticulous with their work. Dave was on site every day and open to questions and suggestions as they came up. He continued to check back after the project was completed to be sure we were happy with the outcome.
Description of Work: Designed and installed a pondless waterfall feature, stoop, walkway, lighting, and enhanced existing plantings.

The same guy comes out every week and does a great job. He is dependable and honest. He bills me after he completes the work so I don't have to stick around and wait on him if I have something else to do.
