+ -1 moreJohn and Naturescapes did an awesome job at our home. He reworked existing spaces that were at our home when we purchased it and had been neglected for sometime. He also created new spaces for us. He placed native plants that would require minimal care, yet make our yard and home a place for our family to enjoy spending quality time together.

+ 0 moreJohn and the crew did an amazing job with my space. The previous owners' landscaping was boring, one-dimensional and simply a mess, and although I had no idea what I wanted, John took the time to ask a lot of questions, show lots of pictures, and put in place the perfect no-hassle, beautiful trees and plants that now make my home look special all the way from the street. I couldn't have asked for more!
Description of Work: Front yard beds reshaped, extended and planted with trees, flowers and shrubs; larger trees planted. Permanent lighting installed. A front-yard refresh!

+ -1 moreJohn and his team did a wonderful job and they definitely exceeded expectations. John gave me a comprehensive proposal for the project and transformed our 20 year old uninspired, overgrown foundation beds. In addition, he added steps / walkway to access the back yard. I absolutely recommend Naturescapes!

+ 0 moreI had a couple of landscapers provide estimates. John easily understood what I wanted to do, his price was very competitive, and his estimate was simple and straight forward. John took the time to understand what I was looking for - making sure the color pallet was right, along with the cut and placement. The crew was very professional and did a great job with the installation. I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: I had a flagstone walkway installed.

+ -1 moreThis is our second landscape installation at our current house with John Fridy of Naturescapes. He is very artistic and also knowledgeable about growing challenges in this area (deer, shade, etc.) The style is truly natural but very layered and lush. He is very timely, reliable and professional and has a great crew. You get what you pay for-- great results and plants that thrive and give pleasure for years.
Description of Work: Landscaped steep wooded slope, created rock gardens, paths, appliance screening and fill in plantings.

+ -1 moreI have been using them for the last 15 years. They are great. I love them. The price really varies if we are having landscaping done then it can be thousands of dollars. If we are just having maintenance work done then it is could be hundredth of dollars. We have just been using them for so long. It just really varies on what service we need at the time. We definitely highly recommend them. I would absolutely use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Naturescapes for landscaping. They did a fall cleanup. They do it twice a year.

landscaping
+ -1 morePlace looked great when they finished. But they way overplanted. After just a few months many of the plantings had to be dug up, with no place else to put them. Had to give away or compost many plants. The landscape design was and is VERY difficult to maintain. Had to end up getting another landscaper in to fix some of the problems. Would never recommend this company, especially to a novice gardener. I just saw provider’s response to my initial review, dated 5/19/2012, and would like to update. Provider is correct about the project dates - in 2006 and 2007 - but not about the cost. First project in 2006 was for back of property and invoices totaled $21,635. Second project in 2007 was for front and side of property and Invoices totaled $15,739. Grand total for both projects was $37,374. My negative evaluation concerned the 2nd project, and the comments still stand. The gardens were over planted, the side slope was made so steep it could not be maintained without standing on neighbors retaining wall, and foundation plantings in the front outgrew their space. A beautiful redbud finally had to be cut down as it was growing into and overpowering the house. I HAD contacted the provider who offered some possible remedies but at additional cost to me. I realize this work was done several years ago, but I felt further explanation was needed. This provider’s garden designs are beautiful when installed, but in my case at least, they resulted in lost plantings and gardens that were difficult to maintain.
Description of Work: Complete landscaping overhaul.

+ -1 moreWe spoke with a number of landscapers before deciding on Naturescapes, and initially I had hoped to get drawings of the landscape design. But after speaking with John Fridy several times and going over his proposals, and recommendations for plantings and design, we were satisfied that he would provide a design and plantings that would really meet our needs and wants. In this area deer can be terrible for your yard and we wanted plants and shrubs that would be unattractive to deer, and we also did not want to have to do extensive trimming and maintenance ourselves afterwards. Naturescapes focuses on natural designs, and John's recommendations have been excellent. I think the real proof of how much value a landscaper can add to a property is not what you see initially when the landscaper leaves, but after a year or two, how well are the plants and shrubs doing and have they adapted well to your home and yard. From our perspective this is where Naturescapes's true value can be seen, because after three years, we are delighted with our yard and gardens, and they are a daily source of enjoyment to us. Naturescapes is extremely environmentally friendly and and quot;greenand quot; and, as such, you, your kids and your pets will be fine with what they use as either fertilizers and herbacides. They also have been very good working with us in terms of controlling water run-off, and their designs and work certainly contribute to our community as a result.
Description of Work: Naturescapes first helped construct our gardens 3 years ago. We really liked what they have done, and since then we have had additional sections added, and constructed. Since completion of the construction we ask them to come every Spring to both clean up and to fertilize and mulch around the plantings. They are very professional, and very thorough in their work which we appreciate. The yard and gardens look great. We also ask them to come by at the end of the year to clean up, and while this is not inexpensive, our gardens really thrive as a result. John Fridy, the owner, works on site with his crew, and as a result, they are really very good at what they do.

+ 1 moreJohn Fridy is the guy I dealt with. I really liked him. He was very nice. He came out promptly. He was very professional and talked with me. He only does natural stone work and we didn't like the extra cost for stone compared to pavers. So, I think we are going to go with pavers and not stone. I thought John did a good job as far as coming out to give an estimate and talking with me. He quoted about $4000 for the job. We would use him if we want stone work.
Description of Work: We received an estimate from Naturescapes for redoing our front pathway about 3 to 4 weeks ago.

+ 0 moreFrom the very first phone call to John we laughed and said we were simpatico! As he seemed to get me and what I was trying to impart on him about my taste and what I was looking for. I was fed up with my backyard looking this way and trying to find someone to listen to me. I needed someone who was creative enough to go over and above the norm and give me different. With John you get different and original. He came to my house looked at the yard and right away said , this will be fun! None of the other people said that! They said wall! I knew right then and there he was the guy for me. We went in and started to talk about what I wanted and we made an appointment for the next week, John would then show me what he had come up with. He left or I thought he did but he was out back of my house for another hour sketching. The next appointment, he came with a folder chock full of pictures of what he was going to do to my backyard. I was so impressed, that I asked him to come up with something for the front of my house! From start to finish the workers were friendly, neat, polite and early for the job! It was finished in a timely manner and I couldn't be more pleased with this company and John Fridy. I would hire him again in a second!
Description of Work: They turned a embarresing landscape into a masterpiece. Having contacted numerous landscapers to take on this massive job and receiving the same response- build a wall! I was very frustrated. When I bought the house 8 years ago there was a 12 ft high by 20 ft beautiful paver wall! I was at my house for literally two nights when a storm came and the wall fell, leaving me with nothing but rubble! I had a deck and then nothing but hilly landscape and so it would be so easy to just terrace it off with walls!! But not creative and not what I wanted! John Fridy came and the first words out of his mouth were, you don't have to put up a wall, we can use boulders and shrubs and we will make it look beautiful! He listened to me, everything I wanted, a pond, lighting, patio, steps in the side of my hill! It is so gorgeous!!!! People have been stopping by my house just to look at it. It looks like an entry at the flower show! A work of art! I am so pleased and happy! I also had problems with water and drainage and he solved it with the actual placement of my plants. He thought of everything. I can't wait to get home at night to sit by the pond and listen to the water and watch the fish! It is so relaxing The boulders make up layers with plants, trees and shrubs intermittently placed. The hill has ferns, ivy and flagstone steps cut into the side! There is a flagsone patio at the very bottom, surrounded by green folliage, the same as the hill, and then the pond with the waterfall incorporated! I also had the front and side of my house done as it was needed to compliment the back!!!! The front is also made up of the same type plants scuplted around my trees with a small walk way, a set of flagstone steps to the side of the house and a beautiful pathway down the side of the house surrounded by beautiful flowers! It truely is a beautiful sight!

+ 0 moreThey do a great job and we like their professionalism. They’re on time and do what they promise. It’s the same employees that are here all the time who are professional and courteous. They know exactly what they are doing. They are pricey and we’ve had some bad experiences with their pricing, but we continue to go back to them because we get what we pay for - they are high but worth every penny. We would continue to use them in the future.

+ -1 moreThe work was done quickly and professionally. When it was complete my wife and I were very pleased everything promised was delivered. After the fact now that we are a year removed problems have come up. Vines that were to be removed are returning through the ground cover and some of the new hardscape has cracked and broken into pieces.
Description of Work: The service was to landscape the front yard of our property. They added hardscape and landscape. In the process we had a tree removed and front cement walk ways removed and replaced. Flowers and scrubs were planted along with two new trees.

Description of Work: Repaired landscaping work performed by another company. Installed a patio and retaining wall, and planted shrubbery around hardscaping.
