This is a neighbor of one of our customers who complains quit frequently when we work next door. The two properties have very little space between the houses. We are currently replacing our customers landscape and this Angie's list member is not happy. I have never worked for this member and never will.

Description of Work: I had asked them to cut and trim grass at a rental house that we own. They were one of only two landscapers that returned my call. They were prompt, did what they were hired to do and did a decent job.

Response from Kimicata Brothers Inc
The Angie's list member contacted us through Angie's message board to mow the lawn at a property 2 times in the month of September. I prefer mowing every week because it is better for the turf grass to remove less than 1/3rd of the turf blade when you mow. Also you get a better quality of cut. I informed the member, but they did not want it cut every week, only 2 cuts 2 weeks apart. So we accommodated the request.

Response from Kimicata Brothers Inc
The member initially met our staff at the Pittsburgh Home and Garden show in March of 2014. They were interested in a price to salvage and rebuild a failed, Versa-lok, retaining wall along their driveway. While at our scheduled appointment, we concluded that the more cost-effective option was to replace the old wall with all new materials. We salvaged the old block, cleaned them off and discarded the damaged ones and later rebuilt them a whole new wall along their hillside in the backyard. We also added a new paver parking area with a small retaining wall and steps to the wall along their driveway. The new walls, parking pad, grading and some new plants were all part of the final scope of work. The members were absolutely wonderful to work for and we look forward to any opportunity to do work for them in the future.

Description of Work: First of all, I had my speech rehearsed for when a machine picked up. When an actual, pleasant person answered it threw me off! I received Paul's return call the very next day! I had a jungle in my backyard. My Japanese maple was out of control as were many other plants. Paul came and went over everything with me and when the men arrived he went over everything with them. They all were pleasant, polite, professional, and good at what they do. My Japanese maple looks fabulous now. I'm amazed. I'd recommend them in a heartbeat. They're taking care of my yards every season now.

Response from Kimicata Brothers Inc
We had a landscape that was heavily overgrown, so when we finished, the results were dramatic. However there were Hydrangeas that were just getting ready to bloom and we deferred trimming them till late in the fall, once they had finished blooming. Also there was a cut leaf Japanese maple tree the member was concerned that it would not look bare after cutting back. So trimmed with care, the member was pleased with the results We also arranged for a cement contractor to repair her front brick steps. We continue to service this members property on a regular basis to avoid another overgrown look.

Description of Work: So glad to finally have the new retaining walls and new parking pad done. The french drains already have improve the flow of the rain running off the hillside and into our yard. The extra room for parking will eliminate the need to juggle cars around!!!Did quality work! Kept job site neat even during work time. Cleaned up each evening, including sweeping/squirting off driveway. Definitely would recommend.

Description of Work: I used Kimicata Brothers for lawn fertilization and weed control. They came out quarterly to apply products, which would probably have worked better on another lawn as mine was a new lawn that had soil issues. I think one I get mt lawn stabilized, fertilization will be more effective. |

Response from Kimicata Brothers Inc
This was a new construction with the turf struggling to grow in very little top soil. I suggested to improve the turf we should renovating the turf and incorporating mushroom manure into the soil to build organic matter. The member declined. Although we did a good job controlling weeds and crabgrass , due to the poor soil conditions, the lawn never looked great.

Response from Kimicata Brothers Inc
Looking back through our records and E-mails, we found that the member contacted our company by telephone, Monday September 30th 2013, for an estimate to install an irrigation system. Our designer returned the call and after discussing the members needs, set the on site visit for Friday October 4th, 2013. During the visit we took measurements, sketched a site map, inspected where we could make the water tap, then measured the water pressure and flow. We E-mailed the finished quote on Tuesday October 8th, 2013. The member E-mailed back on Saturday October 12, 2013 to thank us for the quote and let us know he has decided to move in a different direction. I don't understand why the member's review stated there was no follow up at all after visit, gave us N/A for price and responsiveness. The quote the member received 4 days after the site visit contained a break down of parts, costs and the total price with the warranty information. I think this goes to show, members should post their reviews in a timely fashion while the facts are clear. Not waiting 6 months and relying on memory, or lack of memory, to be responsible enough to post a fair and accurate review. After all, Angie's list members are depending on members to be accurate and fair with their reviews. Members use this information to aid in their decision on which contractors to contact.

Our appointment to meet with this member was July 16th and they have the work to be completed date the same, July 16th. The member had a 70' long by 3.5' high driveway wall partially fall down that they wanted a price to replace. When asked what the budget for the job was the member stated $5,000. The member also requested pricing for a new front walk with steps and walls involved because of the elevation change. We explained because of the length of the wall and the complexity of the front walk both jobs on their own would be over $5,000. The member said they wanted the quotes anyway. We stated to expect the bids in about two weeks. The quote for the driveway wall was $11,427. and the new front walk, walls and steps come out to be $23,589. The bids were mailed out on July 30th. Due to the complexity of the front walk bid we feel this was a reasonable amount of time to accurately bid the jobs. I do not feel this member has any idea the time and effort that went into the bid for the new front walk, steps and walls. So I feel her rating was premature, uninformed and totally unfair to our company.

Great!
Description of Work: They cleaned up our front and back yard area. We do not have any grass, but do have a quite a bit of greenery that we had neglected, being first time homeowners with little experience in this area. We were searching for someone who could set things right as far as the yard was concerned and get us back to a place where we could enjoy our outdoor space and start to maintain on our own. They gave us a lot of pointers and told us what plants we had and how to deal with them. They were fast, courteous, ands reasonably priced. I would definitely use them again.

Very well for the job requested.
Description of Work: We recieved prompt call back and excellent advice regarding our lawn. Within a very short time the fallen tree and other debris as requested was removed from our yard. The monthly lawn care estimate was higher than expected, however we feel that if we have the french drain installed this company will be our first choice.

Description of Work: The company performed complete and detailed spring cleaning service on my private outdoor space. The owner Paul arrived at the appointment punctually. He was dressed professionally and all members of his crew wore uniforms. After completing the spring cleaning they planted seasonal flowers of my choosing and fertilizer. I was very pleased with service. Especially because I contacted multiple landscaping service companies in order to get the job done but amazingly Paul was the only one who returned the call and showed up. Go figure.

perfectly!
Description of Work: We wanted a dry creek bed to lead away from our koi pond and worked on refining the design with Paul. With his help we arrived at a plan and got his price along with 2 other estimates from competing firms. Pauls price and his good imagination landed him the job and it was executed perfectly. His crew was very professional and courteous. They were very good workers, the project completed without a hitch and they cleaned up the job site beautifully. They are a top notch outfit and I would definitely use them again.

Her call was not a waste of time. The member had a spigot leaking and the concern was that it was associated with the sprinkler system. With the cold weather this may cause damage to the sprinkler system. It turned out that the spigot was seperate from the sprinkler system. We let her know to call a plumber and since we didn't do any work there was no charge.

Customers on our maintenance schedule don't have to call to get great service. When anyone does call I always return the call. If I get a voice mail I tell them when they can reach me 7-8 AM or 4-5 PM. I still call them back at another time.

This was a no brainer. The member called with a list of items to complete the job. I stopped at the property and bid the work. The member accepted and it was done. It is always easy when the member has specific tasks and expectations through the entire job.
