I have been using Plantique for 3 years now and I couldn't be happier with the service. They are professional, respectful and courteous all the way from the ladies in the office to the crew at my home. My home always looks fabulous when they leave!

We reached out to Plantique in the fall to get an estimate on some grading and landscaping for our front garden bed area. Whenever it would rain heavy, we would have a lot of water pooling issues. Mike from Plantique came out, took pictures and measurements, and got back to us with a reasonable quote. We had the work done in early December. The guys that came out were very friendly and ensured that the work was done to spec. They even added a little extra mulch and work that we didn't expect. Overall, the work looks great! Friends and family have already commented on how great it looks. They even threw in a free top-off/cleaning after the winter ends. If I could give one area for improvement it would be the timeliness in communication and scheduling. There would be a few days of delay when a request was made. But it's not enough to remove a star. I would certainly recommend Plantique for your landscaping needs!

We have used Plantique for three major (and difficult) projects over the past two years. Each project was very complex (one involved a pool) and we couldn't be happier with the end result as well as the entire experience of working with the Plantique team. From the initial office contact and consult, to clean up and the finished product, the staff and crew were pleasant, accommodating, professional, responsive, and honest. Mike Wimmer was our design consultant both times, and he knew how to troubleshoot and correct any issues while creating an impressive and beautiful design that fit our lifestyle and needs. He is such a great talent and so easy to work with, as was the crew on site. These gentleman were so hard-working and always so gracious. It has been such a pleasure working with Plantique and I look forward to a long relationship with them for all our future landscaping and maintenance needs. I highly recommend them to family, friends, and colleagues, and have recently consulted them to help my parents with a landscaping project. So very, very happy with Plantique!
Description of Work: First project: Re-do of sunken pavers, creating multiple drains (one in pavers) to alleviate yard erosion and erosion around pool, freshening of stones and clean-up Second project: Creating new landscape bed and installing new plants Third project: Creating new landscape bed, extending existing bed and adding lighting to bed, and filling new bed with appropriate plants

When they did the garden design for us, I like that and they stand behind their products. They do a very good job.
Description of Work: I do have Plantique who’s done a lot of work for me over the years. The last time they were here, they reseeded the lawn. They actually subcontracted that out but it’s still through them. It’s on a yearly plan. They come and do the weeding and seeding and the whatnot for the year.

Plantique had great reviews and I hate to say anything to the contrary. That said, I wouldn't use Plantique again. The landscapers were courteous but the service was completely overpriced (wish I had shopped around, first). Most of the planted perennials in my backyard and on a hill on my property died, and the clematis installed to provide porch coverage never grew in. Also, one of my azaleas was pulled up while a Yew was being removed and Plantique never replaced it. I had to find a new landscaper that replanted dead plants and put in a cozy patio and irrigation system for a third of the price that I paid Plantique. I tear up a little everytime I think of the money I spent (I could have used it for a worthy cause) and I am still kicking myself after all these years for not doing my due diligence.
Description of Work: Landscaped small backyard, placed patio stones around flower bed and front walk, planted perennials, removed yews and arborvitaes.

The job went very well from the "sales" call to completion. Our designer was a pleasure to work with and the crew that actually did the work were pleasant and professional. They had really neat software that showed what the finished work would look like which made decision making easy. They listened to our concerns regarding fuss free plants and delivered. The front of the house with accompanying entrance are beautiful. They are a little pricy, but they do deliver.
Description of Work: Plantique removed our original brick sidewalk, a tree, and bushes that were out of control. They relaid the sidewalk using our original bricks, planted two new trees and added several plants.

The salesman came with 3-D diagrams of the options they proposed. We picked the one we liked best and he left us a catalog for the type of stone we wanted and told us where we could go to look at a display of the different types and arrangements. We looked at the display and chose the stone and cap we liked. We contacted Plantique with our choices. They worked with us extremely well on scheduling the work as we had a couple of projects going-on at the same time. Further, we found a couple of blocks that looked like they were chipped too much, and they came right back out and replaced them. They invoiced us as we had agreed. They did a nice job and cleaned-up after themselves. We're very pleased with the whole project.

They had no bucket truck or ladder to facilitate cutting high parts of trees. Laborer had to wear a harness and climb up into the tree. He could then not see very well what needed to be cut. Missed many spots and top leaders for the evergreen trees were not cut properly. Had to have them come back 2 times to try to fix trees not done properly. They even forgot to do one of the trees in the original contract.

We are very happy with Plantique?s provision of a row of Arbor Vitae along a fence line in our yard. We appreciated their professionalism and responsiveness. The completed project was exactly as we envisioned. The field crew did an outstanding job in placement and planting, created minimal disturbance to our lawn during the work, and did a thorough job of cleanup.

When the house was built in 1976 Plantique had done the original landscaping for the entire perimeter of the house. Over the years I had numerous little things changed but when I decided to tackle the big project I decided to give Bruce a call. Imagine my surprise when he still had my original landscaping plans 36 years later! It was a pleasure to work with him and Eric the project manager. I had beds changed from using mulch to using various sizes of stone. The maintenance is much easier and doesn't need to be replaced every year. I had some of my favorite perennials planted. I actually went to Plantique's Nursery and hand picked which tree I wanted. They are very accommodating and professional and I will use them again.
Description of Work: Plantique removed some of the existing landscaping and replaced it with new hardscape and plants. I basically knew how I wanted the areas to look and Bruce Fritzinger designed with my ideas in mind. The new landscaping is exactly how I imagined it and I couldn't be more happy with the results.

They never returned an estimate. UPDATE: I wrote the last review. Plantique tracked me down and sincerely apologized for the last interaction. They made several calls to me, making it clear that they wanted to make it right and earn my business in the future. In my mind, they more than rectified the situation through their apology and response. In today's world where many companies take customer service for granted, it was refreshing to be treated like my needs we're important.
Description of Work: We asked for an estimate. They showed up, looked around and then we never heard from them again. Don't know if they just thought the job wasn't big enough (it cost us $6000 through another provider) or what. I found this highly unprofessional.

the installation went very good and the people at Plantique were very responsive and professional. After the installation of the wall, other boulders, and plants we did have a problem with a couple of plants that did not survive. Plantique however came in and replaced the plants without any question. it is important to note the Plantique is not the lowest price out there but they do quality work and stand behind their work. At the end of the day that is the most important thing for us.

Adam (sales) came out to see what we wanted to accomplish and from the beginning came up with a plan that would answer all our concerns related to the movement of ground related to the generator/tank installation (two other vendors), installing the sump pump PVC and storm drain hookups, along with building up a portion of our lawn area to redirect storm water from our neighbor's land to an existing storm drain at the front of our house rather than running through our back yard. In addition (without asking), Adam took over as and quot;project managerand quot;, contacting/coordinating work for not only his company but also the propane and generator installation teams. It worked out much better rather than me trying to call/schedule each company. The Plantique team had a challange since they did most of their preliminary work at a time when we had very wet conditions due to rain/snow runoff (even had to use the backhoe to pull the trenching machine through the muck in some cases!), but rather than just give up and wait until the weather got better, kept on working to keep the entire project on schedule. One last thing, related to customer service. Since the generator was going to be installed in an area that previously was used by my wife for a small garden over many years, I mentioned to the clean-up team (those that did the final grading/seeding) that I had to build a new garden in another area that I had already decided upon. Without asking, they took a portion of the topsoil and actually created a new garden area, filling in low spots and bringing up everything to grade at the same elevation as the original garden. I was quite surprised to see that they saved me a lot of time/effort without having to put it and quot;in the contractand quot;.
Description of Work: We selected Plantique (along with two other vendors) to do a multi-phase project that included excavation and trenching to allow for installation of a 500-gallon below ground propane tank along with all below ground gas lines to feed/replace an existing 200-gal above gound propane tank in addition to feed a new whole-house backup generator. In addition, Plantique did the trenching to run/replace our current above ground sump pump drainage hose to PVC piping to an existing storm drain (approved by township) to eliminate above gound run-off that had caused "soft spots" on the lawn for many years. We also requested Plantique to do the necessary backfill, adding new topsoil/seeding to replace the lawn that was damaged during the propane tank/generator install, along with building/elevating a small berm to redirect stormwater from a neighbor toward a drain, that had been flooding a portion of our yard (during bad storms), for many years.

They were really good. They installed some drain for patio. They had fixed the fall to drain that we already had, and then they rerouted the drains in the yard. They were prompt, and they said they were going to come out. We had a lot of additional questions before the work was done. They always answered our questions. They were very professional, and their work was of good quality and was completed on time. Their pricing was reasonable. I would use their services again in the future if I need to.

Four guys arrived with a large truck and a pickup with the chipper attached. It took two days for the work to be done, because they did not have a bucket to lift the cutter guys into the trees. This meant that all the work was done by climbing into the trees,, and then lowering the cut portions to the ground. They were very careful to protect the undergrowth, so that there was minimal damage to what will grow to replace what was taken down. I felt they could have been more efficient, had they had better equipment available. A bucket would habve made the tree removal process go faster. The first chipper was older equipment, and it broke the first day. The second day they arrived with another chipper, which completed the job. Overall, I felt they did a very good job, and the price charged was reasonable.
Description of Work: Due to storm damage from Hurricane Irene and the Halloween snowstorm, we had to have six large trees taken down. They also trimmed out broken branches in several other trees. All large pieces were left for me to cut for firewood - they gathered the brush and chipped it, along with two huge piles I had gathered from the hurricane and snowstorm.
