We went out to the Member Residence to discuss their landscape needs. We tried to come up with some landscape ideas and it was very clear that the member could not agree on the type of work they wanted to do. In the future if they can both agree on a project we would be more than happy to come out and discuss their needs.

Disappointing
Description of Work: I purchased "The Deal" $99 for Landscape/Hardscape Design. James (owner) called about a week after I purchased and we set up a day and time for him to come out and check out my property. He arrived promptly, was friendly and professional. I told him what kind of look I wanted, we discussed specific shrubs, trees, placements... I told him about plants and shrubs I didn't care for such as ornamental grasses, phlox, yews, and boxwoods. This was going to be a pretty big job, we were going to reuse/transplant some of my exisiting shrubs and plants and also add some new trees, shrubs, paver edging.... He was at my house for about two hours. I received a call from James asking if he could come again and take more pictures of my property, he had photographed the property before. I said yes. He came and took pictures, I called him a few days later to let him know there would be few minor changes. He told me that he had hired another landscaper to help with the job and that this person would be getting in touch with me. James never game me a drawing or anything in writing of what we discussed or even an estimate. I assumed that the landscaper whom he hired would give that information to me. In the meantime I called a local landscape designer who was recommended to me. We met, discussed what my thoughts and ideas were, he gave me his ideas, some were the similar as James for the front yard, for the driveway and back yard he had very different ideas and also suggested landscape lighting. He sent me a drawing and an estimate. I received an e-mail from Tim Troxler, whom James had hired. He sent me a list of plants he would use in my landscape design. Although he indicated on the list where he would put the plants( front yard, driveway...) He did not indicate the exact placement, He did not give me a price estimate, and included in his list were ornamental grasses and phlox, two plants I specifically told James I did not like. He indicated that he would like to meet and go over the property with me. So basically I was back to square one. James did not share his information with Tim. Tim was more like a hired subcontractor....Not what I signed up for or for had time for. I am going with the local guy. BrI purchased "The Deal" $99 for Landscape/Hardscape Design.

The experience was disappointing.

I contacted Member and told her I had lost my Iphone which had my notes with info regarding her landscape project. I went back with one on my designers and we remeasured the project. I sent Member a proposal . She responded back 2 weeks later and was upset with me because I presented some plants she did not like. I apologized and Instead of giving me a chance to change some plant specimens on the plan. she decided to go with another contractor.

Description of Work: I kept trying to meet with him on the property for an estimate, but he had to keep rescheduling. He kept promising to call back, but never did. Kept promising "i won't forget about you," but obviously did. Just a waste of time and effort on my part to try.

I told James I was interested in having the job done as soon as possible. He came out a day or two after I called to look at my yard. He was very friendly and very professional. He got me a quote the following day which I thought was reasonable. We scheduled to have the job done 4 days later. The fence was between myself and my neighbor's property. My neighbor ended up creating lots of problems the day of the job. He handled them camly and professionally. Many landscapers would probably have ran when my neighbor started to put up a fuss, but James did everything to please her so that he could get the job done for me. James did a wonderful job on both the sod and fence. It looks wonderful. He even called me several times after to make sure everything was ok between me and my neighbor. I would definately use him again for future landscaping jobs.
Description of Work: James and his crew leveled my yard, got rid of some tree stumps, then laid about 25x30 feet of grass. He also installed a fence (about 60 feet long).

We needed our old patio removed it was disgusting. I met with Jame and we went over our choices. I picked out a paver. He came in and removed the existing patio in one day. The next day he graded everything and on the third day he installed the pavers.
Description of Work: JLS came in and removed an existing patio. Graded as needed and installed a paver patio. It looks great! Thanks again for a great job James.

I contacted James in mid April and he was extremely courteous, professional, and responsive. We set a date for later in the week for him to come and see my home for my quote. He called when he was on his way to let me know that he would arrive in time as discussed. We talked about what I wanted, my expectations, and my budget. He was polite, professional, and had some great solutions to some of my landscaping challenges. He and his crew showed up on the day we agreed upon and they went above and beyond. His crew, too, was polite and helpful. They are my "official" landscapers.
Description of Work: James and his crew weeded and mulched my property (front and back), trimmed trees and bushes, relocated/replanted bushes, cleaned my gutters, and cut, seeded, fertilized, and watered my lawn. I had MANY weeds!

James was referred to us by our previous landscaper when we moved to Haycock Township. Our first experience with James occured when we first moved to our home in 2007. After settlement on our new home the builder's landscaper disappeared leaving a retaining wall next to our pool unfinished. JLS Landservices (James Schmidt and company) came in and promptly completed the wall and installed sod in the pool area. Since then we have continued to count on James for our everyday lawn cutting and trimming as well as a number of projects. Most recently JLS designed and completed a project to provide privacy for our backyard pool. The project included about 200 ft of privacy fencing and the installation of about 30 trees ranging from 6 ft to 14 ft in height. The project came off beautifully. Not only did it provide the privacy we wanted but in enhanced the beauty and enjoyment of our backyard while maintaining the open feel of the property. In other words it doesn't look like a row of trees and fencing, but rather it looks to be a natural wooded area between our property and our neighbor. James and his staff have always conducted themselves professionally. JLS?s work has always been of superior quality and the prices are very reasonable. JLS has consistently shown up on the date they promised and completed work by the date promised. I have been very pleased with JLS and I will continue to rely on James Schmidt as my Land Services contractor.
