Professional Landscape Service Inc

They were very pleasant to deal with, however the work was not done as quoted. They had tools that did not work and so "skipped that step" in at least one instance when I happened to be around while they were working. Some of the seeded areas look worse than when they started, there was miscommunication between us as to the work that would be performed. They were calling me on the phone asking for final payment before I even received an invoice and didn't ask about my satisfaction when they picked up their payment and have not since. I waited a month assuming the seeding would take some time before writing this review. Also, their quote for mulch was $10/yd higher than other local competitors and when I cancelled my mulch order they did not even ask why. Bottom line - more concerned with getting paid than doing a good job.

Very professionally done with workers who had an excellent eye for detail. They worked tirelessly and in extremely hot weather. They first weeded and removed un wanted grass then trenched for the edging stone. Love the stone. All the beds were then filled with mulch. It took 2 days for this work. A third day required them to install the 3 granite steps between the upper front yard and the lower back yard. The stairs were hand dug and the stones hand laid and leveled. The narrow passage from front to back was cleaned and lined with smooth stone and pebbles. I love it. All work areas were cleaned and left pristine when they were finished. I hope to do further landscaping in the near future and will definitely call on Professional Landscape Service for the work. The owner made the original estimate and came the first day of work to introduce me to his crew and go over everything.

David responded to my initial inquiry in a timely manner. He stopped by the house to review the situation and confirm what we wanted. He made suggestions about the type of products he could use to provide us steps leading from the lawn into a garden area. We ultimately selected the type of step we wanted to use based on cost and aesthetics. We were in no rush to have the install complete, but it happened within weeks of our initial meeting. We were very happy with the result. It essentially looked as if the steps magically appeared one day. The surrounding area was very neat and tidy, and although they used larger equipment to maneuver the steps into place, the lawn was no worse for wear.

Contacted Professional Landscaping Services to arrange a site visit to quote residential landscaping work. Scheduled a visit for early July. Employee was roughly 20 minutes late for appointment. Received a call later in July that the employee was out of the office and would provide a quotation soon. One month has passed since site visit and no quotation has been received. Was not able to reach the point of being able to judge quality of work or price but the experience to date has been less than ideal.

Dave typically offers a very good price. His mulch work is excellent. Highly recommend. The flower box retaining wall was not built as requested. We had to adjust mid-project which Dave agreed to finally after much discussion and more money. Pre project drawings would have been a good idea on my part. Topsoil and seeding the backyard had some issues. Not enough cover material was provided to keep the soil moist. There were multiple entirely uncovered spots. We complained and Dave sent another truck but complained about multiple loads. The quote clearly required him to do this. About 30% of the grass did not take, so we requested reseeding. After much discussion, he came out despite the fact the quote contained a guarantee. He also fished for compliments on the mulch work when we called to complain about the seed work. In 2011 we requested a quote on a patio. Dave's quote was economical. We asked for drawings based on our experience with the flower boxes and Dave said it was not necessary. Two things made us go with another contractor. One with only slightly higher prices did drawings and seemed more professional. Also, the stone supplier that Dave recommended did not recommend Dave as the installer when we went to look at stone. We went with the second contractor and they did a great job. Fast forward to spring 2013. We asked Dave to quote mulch work this year. He came out to look and give us an estimate. When he saw the patio, he asked why he wasn't given the job and I explained our concerns about drawings and the flower box issue. He asked if the contractor who built the patio did mulch (a very petty comment). Dave said he would email me a quote and left. The next day, I received a simple email: "Sorry not interested. Thank you for your time." Clearly a response to us not picking him for the patio. In summary. Dave does great mulch work. Our experience on larger jobs was not as good. The job got done but with much discussion and more money in the case of the flower boxes. He is also very unprofessional when he feels slighted or when the quality of the work is discussed.

They did a good job. They were on time, polite and professional.

After finding this company on Angies List we contacted them. We had someone out to our house, recieved a bid and had them working within a couple weeks.

We had a new sidewalk installed and needed to grade our front lawn and "garden area" away from our house to prevent drainage problems. We also wished to rid ourselves of the 4 holly bushes in the "garden area" that were there for 10 years. I contacted Mr. Tumminello who arrived on time for an estimate. We requested landscaping which would be low maintenance, but had "curb appeal". Mr. Tumminello was very knowledgeable on landscaping suitable for our needs. After contacting several landscaping companies (some of which did not even return a phone call), we decided to use PLS. We were not disappointed. Mr. Tumminello's company completed all work in a timely and professional manner. After the job was completed, we had minor concerns about the landscaping. I e-mailed Mr. Tumminello. He came to our residence ON LABOR DAY and examined the job completed by his workers. He sent his workers back to our house AT NO ADDITIONAL COST to modify our landscaping. The finished job exceeded our expectations. I was very pleased with the services offered by PLS. I would definitely recommend his company to anyone needing landscaping. PLS truly lives up to it's name PROFESSIONAL Landscape Service Inc. It was a pleasure to do business with Mr. Tumminello. He went "above and beyond" what most companies would do to please a customer. Other landscaping companies should take note.

I have used this service off and on for almost 17 years. I tried another less expensive service for two years and came back to this one. I am glad I did.

Work performed was redesigning beds around the property with new soil and plantings. Good design for easy to maintain look. Also performs services for lawn cutting, leaf services and plowing. Quick to react when we have an urgent need. Replaced shrubs that were killed by deer.

They listen carefully to what I need to have done. They performed the services well and timely.
