Project went smoothly from start to finish. They worked with me to iron out all details prior to work starting and communication was excellent. They provided exactly what we agreed upon in the time he said and for the estimated cost. Arrived on time and worked hard each and every day. We are in love with the patio and would highly recommend Rich.
Description of Work: Richard and his crew built a large scale patio, seating bench wall and grill.

We called him and set an appointment time. He arrived on time, looked at our project, listened intently. He said he would get back with a price but he did not come back or call back. He just vanished. At least we did not loose any money.
Description of Work: We called Mr. Bode to look at our project and to give him a written description. He arrived on time and gave full attention to our project. He said he would get back to us but he never returned and did not call. He just disappeared.

The two-day project went very well. Mr. Bode and his team were punctual, courteous and professional. Because of the limited access to the backyard, the mulch had to be carted in with a wheelbarrow. They made many trips carrying the mulch from the truck to the slope, making this job labor intensive. The front and the backyard now look pretty and peaceful. All of the weeds and wild overgrowth are gone and the shrubs are nestled in the mulch. The garden wall is very attractive and adds interest as well as support for the slope.
Description of Work: Mulching, edging, pruning and installation of a small garden wall. This involved both the front of the house and a slope in the back. Thirteen shrubs were pruned and a large section of weeds was removed. A section was smoothed over and grass seed was planted.

Didn't go with them because the cost of their materials were much higher than the Versa-lock system we eventually chose. Mr. Bode explained that their block was superior (denser) and wouldn't leach lime. Digital photos they produced were neat, though not altogether realistic.
Description of Work: Replace 2 railroad tie retaining walls with Uni-Lock block.

I called for an estimate and Richard Bode came out to the house. He took photographs and called within two days with the estimate. The following week the work was done. The project was completed in two days as Richard Bode had estimated. His crew worked quickly and very hard. They took special care to remove the azalea that I wanted to transplant. This plant was very old and very large. They also had to remove three other yews by hand since they were located in the area of the gas and water lines. The only glitch was caused by the municipal building inspector who required a change in the location of the yard drain before issuing the permit. Richard Bode was more than willing to comply and quickly made the change. The transformation to my front yard is quite dramatic. I am looking forward to the spring when the new plants will bloom and the front yard will have more color than it ever had before.
Description of Work: We had the problem of water coming into the basement from years of soil erosion and the fact that our house is located at the bottom of a hill. Re-grading was necessary to correct the slope. Eleven shrubs were removed and hauled away from my front yard. A trench was dug and a drain was installed that connected the downspouts from the porch to re-direct the water out towards the driveway and to the street. Old concrete in front of the window well was removed and a new metal window well was installed. Raised beds were put in place and ten shrubs were planted. The new beds were mulched. All debris was cleaned up and hauled away.

My wife and I used Richard Bode Landscaping to install our new paving stone entrance walkway and retaining wall last fall. This Spring, we hired him to do the landscaping we had planned for the front porch we had installed last fall. I gave Richard my plant ideas and a sketch of where I wanted the items planted on the first Saturday in May - during his busy Spring season. He said he would get to it as soon as he could. Five days later, on Thursday, he shows up to do the work. He said he would have been there sooner, but he had problems locating the heavenly bamboo. Now that's fast! His work was very professional and we are very pleased with the results. So are the neighbors, as we've received many compliments on the quality and look of our new landscaping. I recommend Richard Bode Landscaping for any of your landscaping needs. He is very fast, efficient, and his work quality is outstanding. He is present on all his projects.
Description of Work: Richard Bode Landscaping performed landscaping around our new front porch and walkway (planted holly bushes, heavenly bamboo, azalea bushes, daylillies, and ornamental grass), trimmed the existing crab apple tree in front of our house, landscaped underneath the crab apple tree, planted a lilac bush behind our house, and installed a rock-filled sump and connected the downspout from our front porch roof into the sump (which now looks much better than it simply discharging onto the grass).

THE WORK DONE BY RICHARD BODE AND HIS WORK CREW WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL. THEY ARRIVED ON TIME, WERE POLITE, AND ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS. THEY ESTIMATED THE PROJECT WOULD TAKE 3 DAYS - AND IT DID. THE WORKMANSHIP IS VERY GOOD, AND WE'VE RECEIVED MANY COMPLIMENTS ON HOW THE COLOR AND PAVING STONE MATCH OUR NEW FRONT PORCH, AS WELL AS HOW NICE THE PAVING STONES LOOK. RICHARD ALSO INSTALLED A CONDUIT UNDERNEATH THE WALKWAY, SO I CAN RUN AN ELECTRICAL LINE TO THAT SIDE WITHOUT DISTURBING THE PAVING STONES. BASED ON THIS PROJECT, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND RICHARD BODE LANDSCAPING FOR ANY LANDSCAPING WORK.
Description of Work: INSTALL UNI-LOCK SIDE WALK (CHEASAPEAKE COBBLE) WITH AN 8 FT. DIAMETER SEMI-CIRCLE OFF OF OUR NEW FRONT PORCH AND A 24 FT. LONG BY 3-1/2 FOOT WIDE WALKWAY TO OUR DRIVEWAY; 11 FOOT LONG BY 1-1/2 FOOT HIGH RETAINING WALL OF UNI=LOCK PAVING STONE BY SIDE OF PORCH. RESEED AND LANDSCAPE YARD DISTURBED BY INSTALLATION.
