Description of Work: Too expensive.
Rating CategoryRating out of 5

Response from Kimicata Brothers Inc
I regret that the person was disappointed in the cost of the proposed work. I also regret that this review is so brief and lacks detail. With this person, we set up and appointment to review his desired landscaping services. I arrived at the scheduled time, listened carefully to the customer, took notes and measurements. Due to the urgency of the requested work (lawn seeding in the fall), I provided the customer with a thorough estimate within hours of our visit. The estimate was professional and detailed, outlining everything our company would do to complete the requested work. While we are generally more expensive than similar landscaping companies, we pride ourselves on providing a high-quality service to our customers.

Description of Work: They do spring and fall clean up. They come and do cut the lawn and fertilize the grass too. They help with weed control. I wished I could give them a B+. Sometimes I text or email Paul and he always gets right back to me if I ever had any issues or questions. He is very willing to fix the problem or replace something.

Description of Work: Kimicata took care of my front and back yard, including maintaining the lawn, landscape, etc. They were professional, timely, and always responsive to any question or request. Fees were in line with other providers I contacted. Fees are based on the size of the area to weekly mow, so the best suggestion I have is to get three quotes.

Kimicata charges more than smaller guy-with-a-pickup operations (I've tried two, both recommended, both flops), but they respond punctually to phone messages, put contracts in writing, show up when they say they'll show up, and do what they were hired to do in a professional fashion. I'm entirely satisfied with their work, and in fact have contracted for another $1900 worth of improvements for the '09 season. The best part of hiring a proper landscaping company becomes obvious when a crew appears to do new planting in April. (When I hired others, they'd promise "this spring" and, after many messages, finally come in the heat of July, when new plants would promptly die.) Kimicata's plantings did well, and their trellis is much better footed and built than the one it replaced. The spray tech seems to know his chemicals, and made substantial progress beating back stubborn wild violets and some other bane I can't even identify. When I called midsummer to report I'd returned from a trip to find my lawn looking wan, they responded quickly (I had a fungus) and started treatment. (I actually wish they'd just started treating my lawn while I was gone and billed me, but I can see that some people would object to an unexpected charge.) Surprisingly, the spots of new, young grass they'd overseeded in the spring did best against the fungus, which speaks well of their work.
Description of Work: Lawn dethatching, weeding, and overseeding ($330); cleaning, fertilizing, and adding additional pachysandra, daylilies, and hostas to edging beds ($1400); repairing railroad tie wall, planting and mulching 2 azaleas ($280); building and painting trellis for euonymus vine ($800); spraying for weeds and fungus throughout '08 growing season ($22 per application); cleaning up in the fall ($300).

We are currently performing landscape maintenance on a continuing basis for this member. We do have some customers that tell us to do what ever it takes so the property looks nice. We do not bill for unathorized work. If we do find a problem we will contact the homeowner with a plan of action.

When he called I called him back. I told him we were backed up with work and if he was in no hurry I would add him to our waiting list. If he was in a hurry he should contact another landscaper. He said he would wait. Before I got caught up with work and started to call people on the waiting list he had posted this report. I guess he was in a bigger hurry than he thought.

There are two men that do the work. They do a good and thorough job. They do little things at no charge that they do not have to do, like clean up apples that have fallen and they blow off the kids' play structure. They also provide Spring and Fall clean-ups.
Description of Work: They mow our lawn once a week. The job takes them 20 minutes.

I was trying to grow ivy to cover a Belgian block retaining wall. Every time it got started, they pruned it back. Then I'd call. A few weeks later it would be pruned back again. This year I told them not to prune ANYTHING and the ivy is starting to cover the wall. This little dance went on for 3 years. Largely due to inertia and not knowing an alternative, they have been working in my garden for 20 years.
Description of Work: Planting forsythia and several lilacs was done but the upkeep was disastrous. The lilacs were pruned by just cutting them down. They never did bloom. The forsythia was pruned by hacking off the outer growth destroying the cascading bloom of it's natural shape. After 10 years or so, it still has not recovered to a natural shape. And I compare it to a forsythia elsewhere that did not suffer this fate. Upkeep on our yard has been very expensive. This month's bill was $434.00 for cutting the grass and "cleaning up".

Overall, I was very satisfied. Most of the flowers planted looked lovely once they got established. I would not choose to plant Xanthus again, as those did not do so well and the flowers were minimal. I think the landscaping planning could have been somewhat better, as they more or less "ran out" of flowers for along the side of the house. Despite these concerns, the work done was done well.
Description of Work: They dug flower beds, planted flowers and shrubs, trimmed hedges, and planted 2 trees.

Very prompt and on time to all scheduled visits. After leaving a message with the answering service my call was promptly returned. Paul Kimicata came to give me an estimate and look over the yard. He took his time and did not rush me and answered all of my questions and concerns. Installers were on time and it was so nice to come home to a restored lawn. Sprinkler system took a few days and the plumber was very pleasant. Paul Kimicata came back and explained the system, answered all questions and made sure every part of the lawn and flower beds were watered..convenietly missing the porches. I even got to use the coupon from Angie's List.. a very pleasant experience for a change.
Description of Work: I had an inground watering system installed along with lawn restoration and spring yard clean up.

I called the company, the answering service took the message, the next day the owner called and made an appointment to look at the property. He gave advice and set up a time for them to come. I did not have to be home. They were here for approximately 7 hours.
Description of Work: This was a big job. I bought the home in August and had not done anything outside. They came and cut the grass, raked, pulled overgrown weeds, trimmed bushes, removed dead plants. It looks beautiful now.

They do the everything there is for the lawn. They are reliable and pretty prompt. We had a tree down and they came right away and took care of it. They are also very personable and it is never a problem when the kids are around. They have all these different people who can handle almost anything involving the yard.
