AMAZING!!!! From the introduction and consultation, to the excavation, delivery of product, installation, and final presentation...the Lodder's are a force. There was so much consideration given to my project and home, down to what I should plant due to my fur-baby! I highly recommend their services.

Was supposed to come back and do other work and weed. And didn't show. Also he was a little light on mulch which is why weeds came right back.

On 3-24 I called this company and left a message in reference to work needed. I was called back on 3-25 and was told that they would be out to give an estimate and wasn't given a time, I was was just told they would provide the estimate. After waiting a month for the estimate I contacted them on 4-23 and still have not received an estimate or follow up communication. I made it a point to leave all my contact info on my messages.
Description of Work: No actual work was done. I was promised an estimate for service that was never provided.

I have used this company for several year doing my annual spring mulching. They do an excellent job. This year I have added in having them do the mowing service for my residence. Once again I have been very pleased with the work and he has done a good job keeping up with the yard considering all of the rain we have been getting. Would highly recommend.

The job went perfect. This was the first year we used Lodder Landscaping. We needed to find another landscape company after the company we used shut down for retirement. We were very pleased with all aspects of the job. They were able to fit us in by end of April as we requested. The work was done quickly and was done very well. We had them back in late summer to remove some older trees and bushes which were getting too big and/or dying off. We had a few landscape companies bid on the work and make their recommendations on bushes to be used for replacement. We found John's recommendations to be the best and most creative. Once again, we were very happy with the job scheduling and the work.
Description of Work: Completed spring clean-up and mulching. extended several beds. Transplanted some bushes and flowers.

Mr. Lodder was very difficult to reach initially. Phone calls were not returned or I was directed to leave messages or contact his wife by e-mail. Overall estimate for all of the work did not seem to match the work that we discussed. I went ahead with the tear out portion of the job. Had to ask him to come back because a large root was left sticking up where the porch needed to be laid and not all of the brush we discussed had been removed. The bill presented for the tear out, which we had discussed in detail, was close to 50% higher than the estimate - no explanation provided. At this point, I chose to look elsewhere for the rest of the work

Response from Lodder Landscaping
We personally met with Ms. (removed member name) several times and went over the project thoroughly and also spoke several times on the telephone We provided a written estimate for the entire scope of work, including the plant removal. Ms. (removed member name) approved the plant removal estimate and that is exactly the amount we invoiced. In addition, we removed a few additional bushes, at her request, for no additional charge. After 20 years of business, we find it highly insulting for someone to say we overcharged them because, as our many ratings on Angie's List show, we provide excellent service and have never billed someone for more than the estimate.

Oops! See above. If you are looking for first rate superior quality work, hire John. He may not be the lowest price but I promise he is the best value. Our original patio has been in for 15 years, and it still looks new. His work is done right the first time. I have recommended him many times over the years.
Description of Work: We used John to install our original 14' x 14' patio. Here, we had him come out and re-lay several new areas around a concrete pad that we installed for a new hot tub. When he was finished, the entire patio was seamless...you could not tell which sections were new ones. John is not just an installer. He is an ARTIST.

John came in and fixed all my landscaping which had been done previously by another landscaper. Replaced dead plants, removed a medium size tree, relocated three small trees and complete mulch around the entire house. He was fast, attention to detail, and never cut corners. I will continue to use Lodder Landscaping in the years to come.

My parents purchased a home in the area and wanted to update the landscaping and hardscape. I contacted Lodder Landscaping in the early spring after reading other reviews on Angie's List. John Lodder was prompt in returning my call and met with me at my parent's house to discuss the scope of the project and some options. His wife, Anne, followed up shortly thereafter with a written proposal and estimate for the project. Once my parents accepted the proposal, John came out again and walked thru the property with me and explained his design plan. For the most part, my parents deferred to John's recommendations as far as plantings, layout and the design of the patio were concerned. The scope of the project was very large, and John worked (tirelessly) for approximately two months to complete all aspects of the project which included removing and replacing existing, overgrown shrubs and plants, edging around all beds, removing old hardscape patio and replacing with new pavers. He even repaired a sod installation job that another landscaping firm had done poorly. The finished product exceeded everyone's expectations. John and Anne are very nice people and easy to work with. They were kind to my parents and honest in their dealings. We would not hesitate to recommend their company to others interested in quality landscaping work. In fact, we already have.

Everything went fine. John is prompt and works quickly. His work always is professional. The beds look wonderful. This is the second job Lodder Landscaping has done for us, and we will always use them when we need professional landscaping.
Description of Work: John dug out two huge beds that were overrun by English Ivy, poison ivy, Asian honeysuckle, various tree saplings, and many other weeds. He treated the area with weed killer, and he then edged the area and laid all the mulch. He also planted a bush and will be returning in a year to plant shade plants, hopefully when the weed killer has done its job for a year and the ivy is gone.

I have worked with John and Ann for many years now. A neighbor introduced me to them and I always use their service. John has done some design work and installation for me also. They are very professional as well as personable. I just love them. If you want someone who is punctual, dependable and provides great service, then Lodder Landscaping is the company for you. They are great.

The response was polite, prompt and to the point, yet courteous. The respondent explained that this company does not own heavier equipment such as a Bobcat to grade areas and install large slab stones. While disappointed that this highly rated company was unable to to the job, I was impressed with their honest assessment of their capacity. I then asked if they could recommend another contractor with whom they have experience. They were prompt in making a recommendation and I have already been in contact with the company referred (also on Angie's List). Should I have a smaller landscaping job, I will certainly ask for their assistance.
Description of Work: I contacted this company via e-mail through Angie's List to inquire about a landscaping job requiring installation of slab stones. The company president responded promptly and indicated that this was a job too big for their small company.

Since this was not a huge job, they were able to fit me into their schedule between some bigger ongoing projects. After I contacted them, John came out to discuss what needed to be done. Then I was sent an estimate by email. I called to accept the estimate and John was able to get the work done about a week later. Both Anne and John were very nice to work with. John was very knowledgeable and made some helpful suggestions. In the end they charged me less than the original estimate. I would definitely use them again.
