I recommend this company enthusiastically without reservation! Dan was quick to come out to hear my concerns and look over some problems with my property. He is very knowledgeable and helped me understand my situation much better. He offered some creative solutions I had not thought of and gave several options. He was able to start the project less than a week later and completed it before other competitors had even submitted a bid. His crew was hard working, professional, and informative. I was very pleased with all the work and received compliments from several neighbors. I was glad to share the company’s contact information to one admirer that ask for it.
Description of Work: Old retaining wall removed and hauled away, new retaining wall built, considerable area re-slopped, drain lines replaced, new mulch, and new grass sown. Additionally, a five-piece water fountain was moved around the house and situated very nicely.

Melena Landscaping is top of class. Extraordinary attention to detail and deep experience resulted in a job that exceeded expectations. Casey and his team were polite, hard working and I’ll even say artists. Great ideas and advice that I would never have come up with! With other home services I’ve used, I quickly learn that I will have to supervise closely to ensure even a C- grade. Melena gets an A+ - no supervision needed. Not a grade I give easily!

Dan and his team transformed our front and back yard landscaping! Dan displayed a wealth of knowledge. He was the only landscaper we had who came out and actually drew out everything he was thinking to do during our consultation. My husband and I are very pleased with everything his team has done. The crew was always on time and ready to work. I watched the guys working through my window and the craftsmanship and attention to detail was top notch! They built not just a landscaping wall, but truly a statement piece! I’ve seen neighbors walking their dogs stop and admire the front of our house since Melena Landscaping transformed our yard. I can’t thank the team enough for such a beautiful job they did. I would highly recommend them to everyone who asks!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dan Melena. We used Dan for our extensive landscape project when our landscape architect recommended him to us. She said he was an A+ vendor and she was right! From the moment I met with Dan I knew he was the one for the job. He was friendly and approachable while also being professional. His pricing was competitive for the large scale job we wanted him to do. Dan was on site everyday to check on the project and check in with us. We were starting from scratch with a blank canvas so there were many components of the project he had to oversee. The first crew came in to install the drain tiles and work on a drainage system for the yard. Once that was complete the next crew moved in to install the landscape. Everyone on his team was courteous and hard working. They took great care of each step of the plan. Dan was always interested in whether or not we were happy with the work and was helpful with suggestions when we wanted to make a few changes. He recommended a tree service company for us to use to make sure the trees reach their full potential. He is not a one and done vendor. He is interested in maintaining relationships. We look forward to working on phase 2 of our project with him in the future.

Dan was very knowledgeable and was able to provide a design and estimate quickly. He worked with me to refine a few things and really tailored the project to our needs. We had about 7 firs that were dying and he helped us select some hearty replacements. Work started on schedule and was completed swiftly. His team was courteous, prompt, and cleaned up after themselves every day. Dan followed up with detailed instructions and water schedule to help us keep our landscaping looking great. We did have a few plants die, but they have a warranty that will replace them in the fall. I will definitely be reaching out to Melena Landscaping for future landscaping needs.

Absolutely love the work completed by Dan and his crew! From the initial estimate through the installation, Dan was professional, courteous, efficient and an excellent communicator. We gave him a general idea of what we wanted but left it up to him to create a design. We are beyond impressed with how it turned out and would definitely recommend Melena Landscaping to anyone!

Dan and his team did an outstanding job with our new landscaping install. The team was very punctual and tidy, cleaning up everything at the end of the day even if they were going to be right back bright and early the next morning. Dan did a great job re-working the plan slightly to make sure the end result was perfect. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the whole process, and we wouldn't hesitate to hire them again.

Dan and his team did an outstanding job with all aspects of our large landscaping job. They went the extra mile providing additional services that were not in our contract but put the finishing touches on our beautiful new landscape. Not only that, during the two days of work, they cleaned up any small messes, dirt, and debris each day before they left. Dan was very courteous and knowledgeable and the finished product exactly followed the blueprint. Overall we were extremely pleased.

I am surprised Angie's list is recommending such companies that want to charge customers to get business for themselves.

Response from Melena Landscaping
Thank you for reaching out and inquiring about a landscape estimate. Unfortunately, we do not offer free estimates and that is listed under our general company information. We feel that our time as a professional landscape organization is very valuable and therefore charge a $100 consultation fee. The consultation fee lets a prospective customer meet with a landscape professional, asks any pertinent questions to their issues, and learn some things about their property. We want to ensure that any prospective customers are serious about their landscape projects and value our time and experience as a landscape professional. We do explain all of this information prior to any meetings along with appropriate time lines and budgets to expect. We would like this "F" rating to show that one customer does not agree with our companies manner of doing business but in no way represents the quality and professionalism Melena Landscaping has to offer.

Great. Casey and John were hard-working, polite, respectful, quick and dependable. They removed all the old bushes/evergreens and transformed my front yard by adding a beautiful retaining wall and new plantings. It was impressive to watch. They went above and beyond their duties by edging and mulching around my mailbox, without being asked, and cleaned up well after the project was completed. Thanks for a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend this group.

Dan was available on very short notice for a quote and also for the service. He fit us in on the weekend because we were having an event at our house. He did an amazing job and everything I asked. We also had Dan landscape a rental property that we have. We got compliments from the neighbors about the job they did and how hard they worked. The neighbor wrote their number down for future reference. I highly recommend Melena Landscaping.

Wow! We rarely write reviews but this time we made an exception. Melena Landscaping recently trimmed bushes, small tress, and cleaned up and redid the mulch beds. We have very high expectations when working with contractors and Melena greatly exceeded even our expectations. Everything was done as they described with even greater focus on detail than expected. Afterwards, the crew manager wanted us to review with him the work done to make sure everything was as expected. The following day, I received an email from the owner also checking to make sure we were completely happy with the job. We rarely recommend companies but the work they did justifies our highest recommendation. Although pricing was slightly higher than others, if you want the job done to near perfection and cost is not a major consideration, I would highly recommend Melena Landscaping. And for the skeptics like myself, no we are not related to, or friends with, anyone within the company; found them through Angie’s list.

I called Melena Landscaping after reading reviews of his company on Angies List. Dan Melena responded to my call on a timely basis to set up an appointment. We discussed my landscaping ideas and Dan added some of his own. Together we formulated a plan. Dan sent a proposal a day later, and I found it to be competitive. We scheduled the work, and as promised, Dan and his crew showed up on time and performed their magic! I am very pleased with the quality of work and the timeliness in which it was completed. The crew was very neat and left my property in great condition. Yes,I am using Melena Landscaping on another project and highly recommend this company.

They did a wonderful job and completed the work ahead of schedule. Dan (the owner) does much of the work himself. He is very professional.
Description of Work: I needed some landscaping to help with my grass cutting plus they planted a beautiful tree in my backyard. They also planted 6 small bushes around my deck. They made a lot of nice changes to my yard to help in convenience and curb appeal. They are great. I highly recommend Dan and his crew.
