Nobody can beat their pricing. For the 2 acres it is like $65 a cut and they trim and blow it off.
Description of Work: One a weekly basis they cut our property which is a little over 2 acres. They do snow removal. They do everything for us, if we needed shrubs gone or mulch.

I have been using the company for about 4 years. The pricing is fair and the quality of service is well worth it. They are very easy to work with. Their technicians and the owner do great work. They are all extremely professional and do top notch work. I have never had any issue with scheduling. They are very flexible with scheduling.
Description of Work: I have used the company for landscaping including installing a raised patio, plant, re seed, patio lighting, general landscaping and to discuss fencing work.

Gary did a very professional job and we are very pleased with everything he did. There are some areas in the patio area that lost some of the grouting that eroded away. He said he would repair it but I have a feeling he may have forgotten. I need to give him a call. Gary's services are not cheap, but he does high quality work which makes it worth the money.
Description of Work: Gary installed a curved retaining wall that was also stepped to allow for the grade change which slooped down 5 to 6 feet. He also installed four steps. He installed new plants and tanbarked along the inside of the curved area. He also planted two other areas around the patio area.

Description of Work: Over the past year, Gary and his staff have completed numerous projects for us. One of the biggest projects was a front walk and back patio with sitting wall. We are thrilled with it. He also has done landscaping work for us that is absolutely beautiful.

It has been an ongoing process as we change some things. They are in consideration; I got about 6 quotes with several more to come in. The person who came out to quote was prompt and fine.

They are close, got the work done, and it wasn't too expensive. I didn't interact with them, because they came when I was at work. I would use them again.
Description of Work: We used Beck and Associates for landscaping services. They were here about one year ago. They mulched, and did a general landscaping clean up.

I phoned during lunch on Monday, 18 April, left a voicemail with my contact information and a brief description of what I was looking for. An administrative person called me on TUESDAY at 230 in the afternoon and was very short with me. She told me that they do offer "that service, but only locally." When I told her that I lived in Mechanicsburg, she told me that they would not be able to help me. Apparently, Gary does not like to travel with his equipment. This seems ludicrous! Mechanicsburg and Harrisburg are right next to each other! In BAD traffic, this would make commuting from the furthest corner of Harrisburg a 30 minute commute. If you're not conveniently located or want easy work, I would not waste my time calling this company. And by the way, the landscaper with whom I am most likely to contract will be coming from Grantville, a solid 32 miles away. It's apparently not that impossible to move the required equipment to my home from a long distance!
Description of Work: I attempted to contact the company for an estimate to have some grading done at my home.

Gary and his employees have been doing the spring maintenance of our landscaping for several years now. Within days of contacting him we have an estimate in writing. He arrives when he says he will, gets the work done and cleans up. This past year he arrived while I was out shopping, got the work done and cleaned up before I returned. What a treat it was to come home to fresh, clean, mulched flower beds and no mess. I highly recommend Gary Beck. We have also purchased flowers and plants from his nursery 'Beck's Backyard.' The plants are always healthy and vibrant.
Description of Work: Spring clean up of perrenial flower beds, trimming of trees and bushes, edging of flower beds, lawn fertilization, mulching, treatments for yellow nut sedge grass.

After I received the quote, I considered each contractor and chose another, but not because of anything negative about this one.
Description of Work: Theirs was one of 6 quotes for the following: Removing debris and poor soil and bringing in good soil to restructure the soil. Planting lawn and gardens, paving a small 4x4 patio in front of shed. 4 quotes were within $500 of each other and I chose another contractor. I believe they would have done a good job, It was more labor intensive than normal landscaping projects.

He had come out previously and he was doing some yard work. He came to get some idea of what I might want. He came out later with a couple of other people and took care of the yard work, including setting down of decorative stones. He planted about 10 bushes in there. My interaction with him and the team went very nicely. They arrived when they said they were going to. The whole job didn’t take more than two and a half hours. He stayed with them all the time. He drew up a list of what he had planted. I spent about a $1000 on the job. I will use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Beck & Associates Inc.

I had a positive experience, but they did not do the job because they were a little more expensive than the company I used. They were out within a few days of me calling them for an estimate and knew what they were talking about retaining walls and I was pleased with their professionalism.
Description of Work: Beck & Associates came out last September and gave us an estimate for some excavation to put the footer down, roots that needed to be removed for some trees that had to be cut down and to put up a retaining wall.

I called this company to get an estimate to re-seed or sod my a small area of my lawn, and till another section. I spoke to their rep (Gary?) on Thursday, who said he would call Friday morning and stop by to give me an estimate. Today is Tuesday and I have not heard back. Even if they're too busy, or my job is too small, I would appreciate the courtesy of a call.
Description of Work: Re seed a section of lawn; till under another section, add fill to create a garden.

Gary was here within 48 hours of our initial call even though it was August which is a VERY busy time for landscapers. He spent a lot of time walking around our property with us talking about what we needed to have done and giving his opinion. He even gave me advice on how to care for the plants I already had. We had a written estimate in the mail within a couple of days and the work was done within about a week of our calling to confirm our desire to have him do the work. This has been true each time we have used Gary's services. When his men come to do the work, I always see Gary with them at the beginning, he does not just send employees over with verbal instructions. He oversees what is to be done. If my dog didn't bark though, I would not even know they were here. He and his crew are very professional, come in, get the work done quickly, clean up after themselves and leave. A few days after the work has been completed, I receive a bill in the mail. I HIGHLY recommend this company. I will continue to use Gary's services for as long as he is in business and I am a home owner.
Description of Work: We have used this company three times in the last year. He has designed and replaced landscaping for us twice (due to plants from another landscaper dying after the warranty period) and done the Spring clean-up and mulching, also.
