Lodder Landscaping

HE WORKS ALONE BUT DOES A GREAT JOB.

PERSONABLE AND HARD WORKING. HAS AN EXCELLENT SENSE OF DESIGN. DID THE WHOLE JOB HIMSELF. WE'VE HAD MANY COMPLIMENTS ON OUR BACKYARD.

JOHN LODDER RESPONDED QUICKLY AND PROVIDED A COMPETITIVE ESTIMATE AND GOOD DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES. WE DECIDED TO DO THE JOB ON OUR OWN, BUT I WOULD CALL AGAIN FOR A FUTURE PROJECT.

VERY HELPFUL AND FOLLOW UP WAS VERY GOOD.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST EXPERIENCES I'VE EVER HAD WITH A COMPANY. THE WORK WAS DONE QUICKLY AND BETTER THAN I HAD DREAMED. THEY WERE GREAT. ONCE AGAIN, WITHOUT ANGIE'S LIST I WOULD HAVE NEVER FOUND THIS EXCELLENT COMPANY.

I ENJOYED WORKING WITH LODDER. THEY EVEN SUGGESTED A COST SAVING OPTION OF PURCHASING THE NEW PLANTS ON MY OWN, AND THEN, THEY PLANTED THEM FOR A SMALL FEE. IT WAS A SMALL JOB FOR THEM SO THEY WERE ABLE TO SQUEEZE IT IN WITHIN A WEEK! WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT HAS MADE TO MY FRONT YARD!! IT JUST LOOKS GREAT!

We liked John, but we were on a completely different page when it came to plant selection, so we decided not to use them, and it's a good thing we did! John seemed professional and was very personable, but he advised us that 4 very beautiful and established evergreen trees - Blue Spruces should be removed immediately because where they were located, they were going to die. He made suggestions as to what he would replace them with - similar plantings! So why wouldn't THEY also die?! It didn't make sense to us, and because he had such a different vision we didn't use them. This is an updated version of my original review: We're SO glad we didn't use Lodder because those beautiful Blue Spruces DIDN'T die! They're fuller and more beautiful than ever! My husband and I talk about it every once in awhile, and it makes us angry that he lied to us, and we're ever so grateful we didn't use them, and let them rip out our beautiful Blue Spruces! We just might have used them if John had listened to what WE wanted, instead of trying like heck to sell us on overpriced landscaping items - which neither of us wanted or even LIKED!!! But he didn't listen, and he didn't budge on what he felt we needed, This is our 3rd home, and we have things we've grown to love and things we wanted - which he didn't want to use or even hear about or consider. Not a good way to do business! If you're completely open to having someone create an environment for you, and you're okay with turning it over to someone else they might be okay. We just weren't okay with doing it that way.

IT WAS AMAZING..ANN LODDER TOLD ME THAT HER HUSBAND WOULD BE THERE TO DO THE WORK MID TO LATE JULY. ONE DAY, I WALKED OUT OF MY HOUSE (DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HE WAS THERE) AND THE WALL WAS DOWN. THE NEXT DAY BY NOON THE JOB WAS DONE, AND LOOKED WONDERFUL. MR. LODDER IS A ONE-MAN DYNAMO! (HE'LL BE THE FIRST TO TELL YOU HIS WIFE IS THE CEO, HE'S JUST THE LABORER) WHAT A GREAT TEAM!

ANN IS POLITE AND PLEASANT TO TALK WITH ON THE PHONE EVEN THOUGH OUR SCHEDULES DID NOT CORRESPOND.

JOHN CAME OUT AND WAS VERY PERSONABLE AND PROFESSIONAL. HE KNOWS HIS BUSINESS BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS, AND WAS VERY HELPFUL AND INFORMATIVE. HE WAS UP-FRONT ABOUT COSTS, TELLING US WE PROBABLY WOULDN'T WANT TO PAY HIM TO TRANSPLANT SOME PERENNIALS (DOING IT OURSELVES WOULD BE EASY & MUCH CHEAPER), AND THAT HIS RETAINING WALLS ARE PRICEY BECAUSE HE DOES THEM THE RIGHT WAY (WITH FULL FOOTINGS, RATHER THAN JUST PLOPPING STONES DOWN ON THE GROUND). WE GOT THE ESTIMATE BACK IN LESS THAN A WEEK, BROKEN DOWN ITEM-BY-ITEM WITH PRICES, SO IT WAS VERY EASY TO COMPARE TO OTHER ESTIMATES. WE ENDED UP GOING WITH ANOTHER HIGHLY-RATED ANGIE'S LIST COMPANY ONLY BECAUSE THEY WERE MARGINALLY LOWER-PRICED, COULD DO THE WORK SOONER, AND WERE MORE WILLING TO DO THE RETAINING WALL WITH THE MATERIALS WE HAD ALREADY PURCHASED.

WOW. WHAT A GREAT JOB. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY WEEK I GET ANOTHER COMPLIMENT ON JOHN'S WORK. EVERYTHING HE DID WAS PERFECT. HE CAME BACK AS PROMISED AND PLANTED THE GRASS. THE STONE WORK IS PERFECT AND ADDS SO MUCH TO THE HOUSE. ANN AND JOHN ARE TWO OF THE NICEST PEOPLE AND HE STICKS TO HIS ESTIMATES.

WE RECEIVED THE ESTIMATE IN MARCH, DECIDED TO GO FORWARD IN APRIL, AND TARGETED THE WORK TO START IN EARLY JUNE. THE WORK STARTED MID JUNE, LATER THAN WE WANTED BUT WE HAVE HAD JOHN WORK FOR US IN THE PAST AND KNEW THAT IT WOULD BE WORTH THE WAIT. THIS GUY IS OUTSTANDING AND IF YOU ARE TRULY INTERESTED IN HIRING A LANDSCAPER WHO IS HONEST, HARD WORKING AND REASONABLE, YOU NEED TO CONSIDER HIM. HE ACCIDENTALLY HIT ONE OF OUR IRRIGATION LINE HOSES AND REPAIRED IT AFTER NOTIFYING US. HE CLEANS UP AFTER HIMSELF. WE WISH ALL COMPANIES WE DEALT WITH WERE THIS GREAT!!

HE DOES A GREAT JOB ON LANDSCAPING BUT I WOULD HAVE A LANDSCAPING PLAN BEFORE I HIRED JOHN AGAIN. HIS WORK WAS DONE WITH VIGOR AND ENTHUSIASM AND YOU CAN TELL HE LOVES WHAT HE DOES.

HE WAS VERY FRIENDLY, DID A NICE JOB OF CLEANING UP. OUR PATIO IS BEAUTIFUL AND WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF COMPLIMENTS ON IT. THEY DO HAVE A LIFETIME GUARANTEE JUST IN CASE WE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IT.

WE HAVE USED HIM SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST.

JOHN & ANNE ARE PLEASANT TO WORK WITH. CALLS ARE RETURNED PROMPTLY AND ALL WORK IS DONE WITHIN THE ESTIMATED TIME. JOHN IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT LANDSCAPING AND GAVE SOME HELPFUL TIPS TO HELP MAINTAIN THE YARD. THEY GO ABOVE AND BEYOND IN THEIR SERVICE TO THEIR CUSTOMERS.

OVERALL GOOD WORK, BUT NOT AS RESPONSIVE OR AS PROFESSIONAL AS I WOULD WISH. DIDN'T RETURN CALLS ABOUT PROBLEMS, SEEMED ANNOYED WHEN I CALLED WITH QUESTIONS.

ANN IS RESPONSIVE AND ACCOMODATING (JOHN CAME OUT EARLY TO GET OUR HOUSE READY FOR A PARTY). I WOULD HIGHLY RECCOMEND HIS SERVICES.

I HAD THE LODDERS RELANDSCAPE MY YARD LAST SUMMER. THEY DID SUCH A GOOD JOB I HAD THEM DO THE SPRING CLEANUP. AGAIN, EXCELLENT JOB. JOHN DID WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD DO, CAME WHEN HE SAID AND CLEANED UP AFTER HE WAS DONE. EXCELLENT. I PLAN TO CONTINUE USING LODDER LANDSCAPING. AM EXTREMELY PLEASED WITH THE WORK JOHN AND ANN DO.

MR. LODDER HAS AGAIN DONE AN FANTASTIC JOB! HE IS AN EXTREMELY HARD WORKER. HE DEMONSTRATES AN EXCEPTIONAL EYE FOR IMPROVING THE APPEAL OF YOUR PROPERTY. HE IS A TRUE ARTISAN! I HAVE DELT WITH THIS FAMILY BUSINESS, WIFE HANDLES THE ADMINISTRATION, FOR ONLY THREE YEARS AND FIND THESE FOLKS TO BE UNUSUALLY EASY TO WORK WITH. I MOST HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU UTILIZE THEIR SERVICES.

JOHN LODDER MET WITH US SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE BEGINNING WORK. PHONE CALLS WERE ALWAYS RETURNED PROMPTLY & SCHEDULING APPOINTMENTS WAS CONVENIENT. HE WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING US DECIDE LAYOUT & PLANTING MATERIALS. HE SHOWED CONCERN FOR PROPER GRADING AWAY FROM THE BUILDING & MAKING SURE WE PICKED THE BEST PLANTS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, EASE OF CARE, & MEETING OUR NEEDS FOR A BIRD-FRIENDLY YARD. WE FELL IN LOVE WITH THE BRICK WALKWAY AS SOON AS IT WAS INSTALLED & WERE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED BY JOHN'S ARTISTIC ABILITY WHEN ADDING A GENTLE CURVE! WORK WAS COMPLETED QUICKLY WITH GREAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL, USE OF HEALTHY, STRONG PLANTS, & STAYED WITHIN OUR BUDGET. WILL NOT HESITATE TO RECOMMEND AND USE AGAIN. EXCELLENT COMPANY, WITH EXCELLENT SKILL & WORK ETHICS.
