Caleb, the owner of Diligence Landscape and his crew did an excellent job helping us with the overwhelming task of designing and landscaping our new backyard. Caleb was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend him. Dave G.

Calob is exceptional to work with! He cares about customer service and went out of his way to see that I was satisfied! He even returned to my job site to assist with raising one of the sprinkler heads that had sunk too low for good water coverage.

All was done to my complete satisfaction. Caleb and his crew were professional and hard workers.
Description of Work: My 30 year old deck which was in poor repair was removed. The patio underneath was pressure washed. There was dry rot damage found on the side of the house where the deck was removed. That was repaired and painted. Wood stairs with railings were made and attached.

Caleb was responsive, bid the job and was able to schedule the work quickly. Work was performed well and Caleb reviewed with me, was able to correct a minor concern. Diligence was reasonable in price and is sincere in wanting the customer to be happy, that's great!

My main compliant is the contractor was not always responsive to my requests. He was very pleasant when we talked and discussed the work. The plans were not computer generated. I made that assumption, which was my fault. I asked for cost estimates on the fencing and did not receive them.

I'm thrilled with the end result. I live in my yard -- every morning/evening/weekend, and lots of entertaining. Pricing was near midpoint of prices I found online for cost per square foot. Value & quality of plants & trees was outstanding and far exceeded my expectations. Extra costs that weren't in original contract exceeded what I expected by >$1000, and I would have preferred clearer communication on those items. Project started & ended on time. It was important to me that the work be completed before I had visitors in early summer, and that worked out great.

I'm thrilled with the final result. A huge improvement in my quality of life this summer! Also a wonderful entertaining space for my tiny house. Overall, pricing was fair -- near the midpoint for what I found online for cost per sq foot. A few extras that came up during the project added over $1k, and communication on those items was poor. Value and quality of plants and trees *far* exceeded my expectations. Caleb went above and beyond finding great items. Project started & ended on time. It was important to me that it was complete before I had houseguests in late spring, and that worked out great.

First off the Project went Great with out any problems at all. Everything from start to finish was Excellent. True Professional Attitude and Work Performed. The Work of digging dirt out on a slope and refilling it with stone was not an easy chore in the rain but they did an AWSOME Job. My husband was Very Impressed and Happy with it, that says it all right there ;) Caleb and his worker was non-stop working and so committed to getting it all straight and Perfect. We are calling him back on another project ,we started but husband said let them finish the patio bc they are so fast and good. Everything they have done for us Husband says is worth the money and time. We will continue to hire him for any job we may have in the future. Thanks Caleb & crew :)

The owner, Caleb, came by today to be sure that we received the help we had asked for in our landscaping plans. He stood with me out in the rain giving me ideas on landscaping which we could do and even gave reasons why. My husband is 70 and caring for such a large yard is very difficult for him - we needed input on things we could do to ease up on the work required to maintain the yard. Thank you, Caleb, for your help. We hope to call you again some day. Actually, my dream is to be able to have you build one of those beautiful water gardens in the photo album you shared with us. Wow.

We Can't Say enough about this landscaper being GREAT. They returned our calls Fast & Professionally. we weren't sure if they would come to another town to help us but They Did. Everything they said would happen ,did happen: like Pavers being delivered and they all were on time each morning. They worked so hard in the heat w/o many breaks at all. They dug a Straight line about 2 feet in dirt next to our fence, Put drainage gravel down and laid Big retaining blocks down 2 rolls high. ( Just as we wanted done). It looks great and we are having them come back to do the front now. It all took 2-3 days for the whole back property line. The men that did it was quite & Very Polite at all times. It was a Joy to do business with them All. Thank You Caleb & Crew :) We Would Highly Recommend them Anytime. They are" Our Go to Men" Now , I have tried other landscapers but None compare to Deligence Landscapers. Btw Maybe our next project will be a Beautiful Rock Waterfall Someday, I've seen their work on them also. Awsome!!! THANKS AGAIN Caleb & Diligence Landscapers
Description of Work: We had a Retaining Wall Put up with soil conditioner added so trees and plants will grow better and yard be level. The soil was so hard before, we couldn't dig a hole & They did a Great Job doing it straight & fast.

Once contractor arrived, he took a pic of how our yard with his tablet as it currently was. In a matter of minutes he had a few ideas mapped out on his tablet and we got to see what our yard might look like with his ideas. With in the day we had our estimate and the final pic of what the yard would look like when finished
Description of Work: Purchased a deal off this site two weeks ago, i was contacted by the contractor the next day to pick a time for him to come out and do estimate. And no call, no show after that. I emailed again, got a response saying he was out of town but never said when he would be back, or do a reschedule and i never recieved a phone call. On the day of consultation, the contractor was 20 min late.

Response from Diligence Landscape
Thank you for taking the time to review my services, although I know you’re ultimately happy with the design I did provide, the expense was a bit too high. We met face to face 2 different times and I hand delivered the design so I’m a bit confused by your claim that you never received this. Regardless, it was a pleasure working with you and if in the future I can be of help I’d genuinely enjoy working with you. Kindly- Caleb Owner

/caleb did not show up for the first apt. He eventually came, was very personable, gave good suggestions, listened to me and my ideas. I liked his suggestions. However, I feel I cannot afford his suggestions at this time. One of them concerned a pond. His ideas were good, but the estimate was very expensive. Now, I still don't know what to do for the time being.
Description of Work: nothing. No show! He did show up later and did a good job

I apologize if there was a miscommunication with regards to the original date and time we planned to meet, with that being said I did show up on the correct time and you weren’t home. We talked that evening and I planned to come the following day. It was a pleasure working with you and in the future if you decide to move forward with my ideas or would like to change your plans to be more affordable I would love to work with you!

He charged me $350 for a complete design for my front and back yards. He said it would take about three weeks to do the design and get it to me. It has been five and a half weeks and I haven't heard from him. I'm not happy.

Pretty well, it was the busy season so it took longer than we expected. But for reference we watch too many yard crashers and realized the world doesn't work that way.? The work was done very professionally and we have already recommended his services to others. We love our little backyard!

Caleb, designed and installed all of the elements in our backyard, including a complete irrigation system, lawn, plants and trees. Constructed a patio with a 20x20 square foot pergola, and a water feature (3 boulder fountain). The design is excellent. The work was done with great attention to the smallest detail. Caleb and his crew were always neat, clean, and well mannered. The job site was always safe and cleaned up at the end of each day.

We have been stuck for years with what to do with our less-than-pretty front yard (aka ugly!), and Caleb met with us a few weeks ago, asked great questions, and helped us define our likes and dislikes. Tonight, Caleb just provided a great concept and design for our front yard. We loved it and we could tell he really listened to what we said a few weeks ago. He put in some design elements we never thought of that feel just right. Well worth the consultation fee. Highly recommend having Caleb do a design consult for your landscaping needs.
Description of Work: Provided a front yard concept/design - complete with computerized overlay over an actual photo of our front yard so we could really see what it would look like.
