They came out and provided a great consultation but we were unable to reach them multiple times to do the actual work so we ended up having to hire someone else. He had really good ideas but my impression was they were overwhelmed by the response to the Deal and did not have the manpower.

He was at my place for a longtime doing the drawing for replacing my back yard from grass to Ohio native ground cover and plants. He took the time to go over everything in detail. While I might not use him initially I will use him in the future because he practices what he believes in.
Description of Work: Wes did a design for me on a special they were advertising. I found him professional, theatric, proud, and passionate about his business. I couldn't have been more pleased. I especially liked his approach to organic landscaping.

Wes came out twice to be sure that all my concerns were addressed. He comes from a family in the excavation business so he had insight in the hard-scape needs for the project. His savvy planting suggestion, such as plants that would cascade over the walls, put the project all together. I very much appreciated his commitment to customer service.
Description of Work: Analyzed a hard-scape and landscape project for my backyard in response to an Angie's List deal. After thoughtful and experienced analysis prepared a detailed drawing to help me go forward with the project.. He also provided a detailed cost analysis that would complete the project using his company.

It took a while to actually get it coordinated for them to come out. We were just trying to get some ideas. They came out and gave us some thoughts on a paver patio. It was just a thought generating plan for us. We haven't got around to acting on anything. They provided us with a pretty good plan. It just wasn't something we were ready to do right at that moment. They put a pretty comprehensive plan together. They were pretty responsive. It was just hard with the bad weather to get them coordinated time.
Description of Work: We just had them come out and do an estimate. It was just for doing a patio design.

It went very well! Wes called when he was headed my way, listened to me, and provided a beautiful design that I can implement in stages, just as I'd asked. I'm looking forward to having the front of the lot done by Marvin's Organic Gardens in the spring, and the remainder installed after I sell my other house. Wes also provided estimates of cost per square foot for a proposed patio for three different materials, which was quite a nice thing to know for my budget!
Description of Work: The deal was for a landscaping consultation and plan, up to 2 hours. Wes came to my home, which is completely devoid of any kind of landscaping...just lawn. After listening to what I like, and taking note of the HOA regs/limits, Wes provided a hand drawn, color detailed plan for both my front and back of my lot, breaking it down by stage that it can be done, along with an estimate for each part.

The landscaper came out and measured around our house and drew up plans with several different options for a newer and fresher look around our 1980s built home. Some of the landscaping cover he said looked good and would be wise to keep and the older trees and hedges needed to be pulled out. The prices quoted were very reasonable for the work to be done. We have not signed a contract yet, but hope to have him do the job early next year.

I purchased an Angie's List deal. It was one price for 8 hours work by one person. The work was done in 4 hours by two people. The workers were prompt in arrival, they walked around the yard with me as I outlined the work I wanted done. It was done within the timespan that I was quoted and was exactly as I had requested. They even hauled off some leftover garden plants that I had placed in a pile for burning. Best of all, it was done before the realtor's photographer arrived. I really appreciated that I was able to get it done before the first snowfall.
Description of Work: cleaned up flowerbeds, removed plants that had died back for the season, cut/trimmed large ornamental grasses and shrubs, raked up leaves/debris and hauled it away, spread hay on strawberry bed

Was able to connect via phone about the services needed & to schedule time for them to come see the work. I gave a broad range of availablilty. Marvin's company informed me they were finishing a job in Cleves that week and would contact me about stopping by on the way to/retruning. I never heard anything back about confirmation. The work was not performed and I didn't ever recieve follow up from them. Besides not hearing back, they were good about initial contact.
Description of Work: Contacted the provider to get a quote on taking some large branches off of tree's that overhang my yard.

They did a good job, the landscaping was well done, attractive, emphasizing native plants with wildlife value. Wes has a good eye for design and knows his plants. He's very conscientious and committed to sustainable landscaping. His crew was prompt and professional. They all did high quality work. I would definitely hire them again.
Description of Work: Wes and his crew installed shrubs and perennials in our front landscape and returned a portion of the garden back to turf. They removed a bed in the side yard and put in a crushed stone walkway They built a concrete block retaining wall under our deck as a foundation for a potting shed. They improved my raised vegetable bed and laid a stepping stone walk joining it to the sidewalk

It's refreshing to serve people like you that are making a positive difference one garden at a time. We look forward to seeing how your gardens grow and please have us out for tea again soon.

They did a nice job. Wes (the manager) was responsive and easy to talk to. He offered advice but was not pushy. Two brothers showed up that morning and worked all day and completed everything. They were hard working and spent time cleaning up and making my lawn look good. They were also fun to talk to. I would use them again.

Yes, Marvins Organic Garden did give me a design for a deck. He was very kind/professional and prompt with the service. I have to admit I was not impressed with the design and the estimate we received was out of our budget. It was a quick design on a piece of note book paper. We did have a deck installed but we did not use their services.

It took months to actually get it scheduled. I wish the coupon details mentioned the wait time and the times of the week/day that were avail for the design consult. By the time we synced calendars, the summer was over. It felt like I was providing more design ideas than he was.

We appreciate this feedback and are always looking for ways to better fine tune our scheduling especially during the spring rush. Customer was contacted immediately with available dates and times. We do our best to be flexible with customers' work schedules, and in this situation made an exception to come outside of regular hours(as indicated in the deal), while considering the required sunlight to perform a 3-4 hour consult/design on site. One day prior we received notice of the need to reschedule, which we were understanding, however this further delayed the appointment. We did call several times as openings came up. We do encourage customers to be available for at minimum 3-4 hours when purchasing this deal.

We are very happy with the plan and the cost was less than we had expected. The plan blends new landscaping with landscaping that we already have in place. We will be implementing the plan in the Spring.

I never used this deal. I put in a request on their website and they got back with me right away about my requested date. They told me it'd be about 2 1/2 to 3 months before they could come out and see what I wanted. I wanted to get started during the summer so I didn't move forward. I wish that I'd been notified that there might be a long wait when I signed up for it.

They did a great job. We asked for low maintenance and continual blooming through the season. Initally it was hard to get in touch with them but after we did get the ball rolling, it was easier.
Description of Work: We had them design our front landscaping and then we had them implement it. It took 1 day for the design to be completed and a day and a half for the implementation.
