JOHN LODDER WAS THE COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE AND HE WAS OUR FIRST ESTIMATE FOR THE PATIO PROJECT. HE REALLY MADE US FEEL COMFORTABLE ABOUT THE QUALITY OF HIS WORK DURING SOME OF THE DISCUSSIONS WE HAD WITH HIM. WE HAD ASKED HIM TO DO A PAVER PATIO FOR US WITH PAVER STEPS. HE DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DOING THE PAVER STEPS BECAUSE OF SETTLING ISSUES SO WE ENDED UP GOING WITH ANOTHER COMPANY. HAD HE BEEN WILLING TO DO THE PAVER STEPS WE PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE WENT ANY FURTHER INTO THE PROCESS AND WOULD HAVE HAD OUR PATIO BY NOW. HE SEEMED VERY DETAIL ORIENTED AND WILLING TO DO WHAT HE FELT COMFORTABLE DOING TO MAKE US HAPPY. I WOULD HAVE NO RESERVATIONS ABOUT RECOMMENDING HIM.

JOHN CAME OUT AND GAVE US NOT ONLY AN ESTIMATE TO LANDSCAPE THE FRONT OF OUR NEW HOME, BUT OFFERED SUGGESTED PLANTS AND HELPED US SELECT LOW MAINTENANCE ITEMS. HE SHOWED UP AS PROMISED AND DID A WONDERFUL JOB. WE PAID NOTHING IN ADVANCE, AND HE SENT US A BILL AFTER HE WAS FINISHED. WE WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM. VERY NICE GUY. HE FOLLOWED-UP WITH A NICE THANK YOU CARD AND REMINDER INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CARE OF OUR NEW PLANTS.

I WILL RECOMMEND JOHN LODDER TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN QUALITY LANDSCAPING AT A REASONABLE PRICE. HE IS TRULY AN ARTIST.
Description of Work: JOHN PUT IN A 16X20 PAVER PATIO FOR US. HE MODIFIED OUR ORIGINAL DESIGN TO GIVE A MORE POLISHED LOOK & ADVISED MY HUSBAND ON HOW TO REPLACE OUR EXISTING CEMENT BACK PORCH WITH A MINI DECK TO COMPLEMENT THE PATIO. HE ALLOWED US TO CHOOSE NOT ONLY THE COLOR, BUT THE PATTERN. WE CHOSE A SOMEWHAT COMPLICATED PATTERN, WHICH HE LAID PERFECTLY. FINALLY, HE ADVISED US ABOUT HOW TO LANDSCAPE AROUND THE PATIO (WE CHOSE TO DO IT OURSELVES), AND GAVE US ADVICE ABOUT PUTTING IN A WATER GARDEN.

The nursery gave him the wrong tree, it was labeled incorrectly. THE DOGWOOD TREE NEEDED A SPECIAL FERTILIZER AND TO BE SPRAYED BY PESTICIDE. THE NEXT TIME WE HIRED HIM, HE INSISTED ON COMING ON SUNDAY ALTHOUGH WE HAD REQUESTED HE COME DURING THE WEEK. WE HAD REQUESTED AND HAD CONFIRMED WITH HIS WIFE THAT HE WOULD BRING LANDSCAPE ROCKS. HE DID NOT, AND SO WHEN HE SHOWED UP EARLY SUNDAY, I HAD MY HUSBAND ASK ABOUT THE ROCKS, AND IF HE DID NOT HAVE THEM,. IF HE COULD GO GET THEM AT A HARDWARE STORE NEAR OUR HOME. INSTEAD HE CHEWED MY HUSBAND OUT AND TOLD HIM THAT HE DID NOT HAVE ROCKS, BUT THAT IF THAT WE DIDN'T COME DOWN, HE WOULD LEAVE THE PROPERTY. I ASKED WHY HIS WIFE HAD CONFIRMED THAT HE HAD ROCKS, AND HE SAID NOBODY WOULD HAVE ROCKS AND SHE WAS MISINFORMED. INSISTED ON STARTING WORK IMMEDIATELY. HE REFUSED TO PLANT THE ROSEBUSHES PROPERLY. . I ASKED HIM TO REPLANT MISPLANTED BULBS THAT HE DID NOT ORIGINALLY PLANT. HE DECLINED AND TOLD ME TO LEAVE IT, AND HE COULD PLANT SOME NEW ONES. THAT MADE NO SENSE. I REQUESTED RED BEGONIAS TO BE PLACED BY THE ROSES. HE STARTED TOO FAR AWAY, SO IT DID NOT LOOK RIGHT. I REQUESTED HE REDO IT, AND HE TOLD ME IT "DIDN'T NEED TO HAPPEN" BECAUSE THE ROSES WOULD FILL FORWARD AND FILL IN THAT SPACE. LEFT LARGE CLUMPS OF DIRT IN THE YARD. I HAVE A BAD BACK AND HE SAID WE COULD PICK THE DIRT UP OURSELVES. ASKED HIM TO DO THINGS LIKE PLANT ROSE BUSHES AND BULBS TO PLANT. IF YOU ASK HIM TO PLANT A ROSEBUSH, HE WILL NOT PLANT IT IN A MOUND LIKE PRESCRIBED. HE WILL JUST STICK IT IN THE GROUND. ASKED HIM TO PLANT IT CORRECTLY, AND HE SAID HE TREATS THEM LIKE ANNUALS AND THIS IS HOW HE PUTS ROSES IN HIS YARD. IT'S MY YARD, NOT HIS. IN HIS DEFENSE, I HAD NOT DISCUSSED THIS WITH HIM, BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN NEGOTIATED. HE WAS FRUSTRATED THAT THERE WAS EXTRA WORK TO DO. HE HANDLES DISPUTES IN THE WORST POSSIBLE WAY. THROWS TANTRUMS WHEN THINGS DON'T GO THE WAY HE WANTS THEM TO, WHICH IS NOT A GOOD SIGN OF A GOOD SERVICE PROVIDER. He is very punctual though as his strong point and he does know how to schedule.
Description of Work: The tree had a tag that said dwarf pink dogwood. He put one in that never really bloomed and never leafed out. It was just a faulty tree. He took the first tree back, and brought us a new one that said pink dogwood on the tag. When it bloomed it was actually a white dogwood. This was the fault of the nursery. When he took that one back, the nursery refused to do good. When the 3rd tree was in, it was having some problems, I asked him to take it back again a 4th time. This time he refused, and he told us the nursery had refused to give him a 2nd tree. He had paid for another tree when he had brought the 3rd one. He said he wasn't going to eat the cost of another tree. I understand his position, but looking back on it, I don't think he really knew much about lancing the tree-he didn't stake it, no paper around the bottom of it to make sure the new bark was protected, etc.
