WES DUREN SPENT MANY HRS. HERE DISCUSSING WHAT I WANTED TO ACHIEVE WITH MY YARD, THEN COMING UP WITH AN INCREDIBLE DETAILED LANDSCAPE DESIGN. THE DESIGN INCLUDED A SCALED DRAWING, DETAILED MATERIALS LIST AS WELL AS AN ESTIMATE FOR HIS COMPANY TO DO THE WORK. WES & HIS WIFE DIANTHA ARE 3rd GENERATION FAMILY OWNERS OF MARVIN’S ORGANI GARDENS, I THINK. THEY WERE BOTH A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH. WES HAS A GREAT EYE FOR DESIGN ANDF REALLY KNOWS EVERYTHING LANDSCAPE. JUST REALLY GOOD PEOPLE WHO OBVIOUSLY TAKE A GENUINE INTEREST IN THEIR CUSTOMERS!

Response from Marvin's Organic Gardens
We just spoke to this customer and apologized for the way services were delayed back in 2011, when we first published the Big Deal. She was happy to hear from us and it was helpful for us to have that direct personal experience with her. She explained that she has not been with Angie's List for a couple of years now and that she was called out of the blue by Angie's List. Since this time we have become very efficient with our design services and,unless under special specifications, do not leave the homeowner's property until the design is complete.

I was looking for a backyard design. The designer came and did the consultation. He was at the home for 45 minutes, but never followed up with a plan.

We are sorry to hear about your experience from2011. Since then we have significantly improved all aspects of our business and customer relations. I can confidently say that over the last 3 years we have really amped up our customer service and follow up as well as the quality of our workmanship. We now have all of our "Aces in the right places!" The most recent reviews speak for themselves. I will call you to further discuss. Thank you!

We had wanted a gazebo/arbor designed in the back yard over the hot tub. We got a design but weren’t impressed with it. The designer didn’t do any more than what we’d done ourselves, and he was going to charge a high fee to build it. The designer was very nice, professional and friendly, but it did take a little bit of time to get the design back.

It had its ups and downs. We liked the design part of the work but we felt the execution wasn’t what we were looking for. The designer came back to address those issues, and everything worked out okay, but it was challenging. We had him move forward with one of his designs.

We thank you for your feedback. As the customer mentioned we gave them everything they ask for and more. We even shared additional plants at no cost and made several trips to satisfy their every need. At the time the job was complete they were thrilled with our work and have never called us in person to discuss otherwise. As the customer observed we will always come back to correct challenges if needed. This is a good example of the importance of good communications from both homeowner and service provider.

Over the summer, one of the trees died and they gave us a replacement; my sons and I installed the new tree. There wasn't a charge for the tree but there would have been a charge for them to do the install. We were happy with their work.
Description of Work: They designed the landscaping. They made some tree recommendations. They also planted some bushes and other plants in addition to the trees. They installed 3 oak trees, a dogwood, and a locus tree. It took them not very long to do the initial install.

We were impressed with what they gave us, both in the plans and the type of woodland plants. We didn't follow through with the plans as we rented our house out. We didn't have to wait too long to get the design from the landscape designer that we worked with either.
Description of Work: They gave us a quote in planning in our woods as we were thinking of selling our home.

They came to my home in January of 2014 and created a landscape plan and a price for the service. The landscapers returned late March to complete the work. They removed all the bushes and trees, and replaced with new bushes, plants and new mulch following the landscape design. I was very pleased with the service and the friendliness of the staff.

It went very well. We wanted a front yard design and recommendations on what plants to use. After they gave us the design, we had them do the work -- which took 3 days to do. The work was great and all the people were wonderful. The rep we had was very enthusiastic. The only issue is that they were hard to contact and get a response from. They are far from our house, which was a slight problem as well.

Wes is absolutely fantastic. We will be signing his proposal in the next week or so; we are so excited to see what he is able to put together!
Description of Work: Wes visited our property to put together a landscape plan for the back area of our yard. We were fully expecting to have to regrade the site to improve the poor drainage, but Wes said that with the appropriate plants for the area, we could manage the drainage and have a beautiful landscape. His knowledge is absolutely impressive, and he is extremely professional.

It was amazing. Wes came for the wall through late on a Friday. When we explained we were in a hurry to make the property look its best. He moved around some other work he had so they could complete our job within a week. Marvin Organic Gardens completed all 8 items on the list in a single day. If there was a need to make a change he contacted me to get approval before moving forward. They cleaned up completely with no evidence that they had just completed the work that day. 4 large shrubs were removed from in front of the garage and 4 more shrubs were removed from in front of the dining room windows. New small shrubs were planted in front garage and 5 new blooming bushes were planted in front of the dining room. 3 trees rings were put in place in the front yard with the pavers we already had. I small retaining wall was put to the yard side of the driveway. 2 trees were trimmed and 2 Hollies on either side of the side walk were trimmed along with the lilac and burning bushes. A more defined area under the burning bush was completed using white rock. The final item was the reconfiguring the flower bed on the left side of the year. They added mulch throughout all flower beds. It looks great. Thank you Wes and your team.
Description of Work: Walked through the property with an eye towards curb appeal of the property in a quick and affordable manner. Recommended to do a list of 8 items. These items ranged from removing old shrubs and replacing with new plants/shrubs, putting in tree rings, trimming and pruning trees, to changing the outline of the flower beds.
