It was just ok - very overpriced for the work received.  The owner is very nice but they workers are very lax.  They only cut my lawn with a weed whacker and left the trimmings.  They continued to do this all but a time or two.  They didn't do a great job for the price.  I would have paid $25 for the job they did.  The owner was very responsive with my complaints but I just gave up with the workers - the last straw was when the workers blew (not picked up) grass trimmings (because they were still using a weed whacker) all over my stroller that I had outside and didn't bother to do anything.

This process went on for a while. My initial contact was about a year and a half earlier. Joe Zingrone came out, spent at least two visits discussing and then pricing out several potential projects as well as several emails and a couple of phone calls to finalize estimates and details. I delayed starting any of these as I had been considering a move from this property. Contacted Joe again this spring and opted to go ahead with the projects outlined here. 
There was some delay in getting under way (about a month to a month and a half later than we had originally discussed) however, this spring and early summer the weather was pretty uncooperative and Joe was pretty good about keeping me updated on the delays. Eventually we projected an early July start date. My only minor quibble was that the crew arrived without a prior phone call. I usually like to be there the day any projects on my home begin. Joe did explain that a last minute window to start had opened up, so I ended up being OK with that. 
The crew had to deal with intermittent bad weather, but they did a great job and I'm quite happy with how the projects turned out. The 'crew chief' on site (Tim) was very good about explaining processes and other options for the future. I was initially not happy with the way the pavers near the pond were reset (I still thought there was too much of a slope) and they readily agreed to reset them to my liking. 
This was excellent (A grade) work across the board in my opinion, though I've never had to hire anyone for landscaping work before. The punctuality 'B' grade was just for the lack of the arrival phone call mentioned above, but that was really a minor issue. As far as price, I'm still surprised at the cost of landscaping projects, but that's probably just my inexperience. I will say that when Joe originally came out and gave estimates I had gotten several others for the same projects and while Zingrone Landscaping was slightly higher, all were in the same ballpark. I went with Zingrone because I just had a better feel from the time and personal communication with Joe up front.

He was looking at the overall tree to make sure it balanced out. He did a really good job .  It was a Japanese red maple tree that had just got out of hand. He also trimmed another tree as well. Took him about 2 hours to complete. I highly recommend them.

He came to survey the work.  Took notes, made a drawing, took pictures and explained what he thought we should do, and then we never heard from him on the estimate or that he did not want to do the job.  Just nothing.

Upon receiving my first review, I did receive an immediate call back from Joe.
Response from Zingrone Landscaping
"Sir We met on the 15th of July and I sent you the proposal on 7-21-15. I actually put a lot of time into your project. I called you today 8-18-15 to tell you that I was resending it and if someone would please call me back to verify the email address. No one has called back, so I resent it and it came back undeliverable. Nothing is more frustrating when you spend the time and effort and end up with negative results. I did everything I was supposed to do on my end. Regardless I have had your proposal all along. I do not come out to meet with people just to waste their time and my time."

"Hello sir. We never came out to your property this year June 2015. I think you have me confused with someone else maybe. Your dates are not correct. I remember your job well. I even looked up the proposals prior to writing this. On 9-24 -2012 we completed the job which consisted of the retaining wall work, Planting small shrubs and medium to large (10 ft tall maple), removing shrubs as well as other items but not to install landscape fabric to the existing beds but only to weed them. On 4-24-14 I gave you a proposal for redoing your river rock beds. Which consisted of lifting up and setting aside existing river rock, installing new landscape fabric, reinstalling river rock and supplementing with new river rock where necessary for $1205.00 but you did not accept the proposal and we never performed that work. When we finished the job in 2012 for you, you were very satisfied with the work I remember . That must be someone else who did work for you in 2014 and someone else who came to your property this past June 2015. We may be higher priced then some of our competitors but I know we offer a quality product. 4 time Super Service Award winner Zingrone Landscapes & Construction est. 1993"

They did a great job - very courteous, professional, and patiently tolerant of my specific requests.  When I was concerned that too little mulch had been laid in some areas, Mr. Zingrone responded immediately to my concern by sending his crew back with more mulch, wanting me to be completely satisfied!  We are 100% happy with the results and it was a great pleasure to do business with such professional and kind people.

Bad - so he rings the doorbell on Friday afternoon at 2:30 - my wife who was working from home that day was on a conference call meeting and because he kept ringing the bell, she had to answer the door.  He asked her if I was home and said no, he doesn't get home until after 3pm, he immediately said he can not wait that long and does she know what needs done - she said yes, but she was on a call and couldn't talk to him and asked him to wait for me to show up at 3pm - he said he can not wait and was rude about it. 

Customer service is the first step to showing your customers are important.















Response from Zingrone Landscaping
"First of all Sir NO services were performed, we did absolutely NO work for you. You are being very misleading by saying that we actually completed work or performed any services, when in fact we did not. I'm sorry sir but I had an appointment to meet with you at 2:30 on a Friday afternoon. I had a another meeting after yours that I really could not be late for. You should NOT have told the office that you would be there at 2:30 when you obviously knew that you were not going make it and try to force me to wait till you got there. I rang the doorbell ONLY 2 times and was about to leave when your wife answered the door very perturbed that I was there bothering her. How would I have known she was working? After all that's what I was doing too, was working. As I recall it was your wife that was very rude. As the door opened I was greeted with a look of confusion and agitation. She told me you wouldn't be there till 3 and that she couldn't show me. Then she stated "I'm trying to work but I am not now because I'm talking to you" was what she told me next. I simply said "he will have to call the office and reschedule" and left. Normally I would have attempted to postpone my next appointment but she was just too rude and condescending. I will not put up with rude and unprofessional people that think their time is more important then someone else's. Sir just like you and your wife's time is important, so is mine. God luck Sir"

Too busy to even keep my appointment for an estimate that I had made 2 weeks Prior. Very disappointing.
Response from Zingrone Landscaping
"Its very unfortunate but there was an emergency that came up this Saturday and requires rescheduling. That's why we notified you yesterday April 28th. Four days in advance that it would need to be rescheduled. That was the best we could do. We have all been in a situation where suddenly our schedules change without much notice. I did however have the office call immediately to reschedule. Good luck with your project. Sincerely Joe Zingrone"

It took a while before they got started and I am not sure all plants will take as it was not long after they planted that weather turned cold.  I am reserving judgment on the job until we see how it looks in the spring.  But the work they did looked really good when they were finished.

It went great. After they came and provided the estimate, they performed the service after a short delay. Good quality, we would definitely use them again.

Outstanding company to deal with from our first phone call until the end of the project. Joe came over and listened to what we wanted to do than he came up with ideas we would have never thought of. Joe and all his men were just awesome very clean workers. Can't say enough good about this whole company...if you need anything done that they do you will not be sorry to hire them. I would hire them again without hesitation Everything was done to the smallest detail

We had a heatwave and a drout when he put the plants in and we struggled keeping them alive. One of the trees he put in died shortly after. W
e asked him to widen the gardens along the edge of the driveway and it was hard to tell what he did .
Response from Zingrone Landscaping
"The gentleman’s complaints do not make any sense. Over 2 years ago we performed a beautiful grading and hardscape job (steps) for this gentleman. We were there for over a week. He was happy and shook my hand when we finished. The gentleman was moving and was giving the home to his son who had recently graduated high school. The son was to have watered and weeded from that point on. I drove over there today 10-05-14 to see what type of condition the property was in and to no surprise it was an overgrown mess with a for sale sign in the yard. The customer never called about any concerns he had about a dying plant. So over 2 years go by and he decides to sell the home and he finds out that his son has not been keeping up with the maintenance so they blame the contractor!"

Joe and his team did an excellent job. He estimated the cost and when he would be able to do the work and,  both cost and dates were met. Joe gave me ideas on how to a handle planter wall that was falling down that would be least expensive and still look great and he was right on. Other contractors wanted to rebuild the wall but Joe suggested taking it down and planting scrubs which ended up looking so much better at a much cheaper price then rebuilding. Everything I asked to have done was completed exactly as promised. My only regret was not having the rest of my yard landscaped at the same time!

In looking for a new landscaping and grass cutting service, we contacted Zingrone Landscaping. We have had several unsavory experiences and were anxious to find a company we could trust. They phoned us back quickly and Joe met with my husband and I shortly after. Joe was professional and well informed. An all-around nice guy. We walked him around our property, which is expansive, and he took notes on everything. We were quickly put on the schedule and it's been wonderful. The communication has been so easy; if we need anything additional, they always take care of us - and vice-versa. We take pride in our home both inside and outside. Thank you for your attention to the outside detail and never making us feel like we are bothering you! Would highly recommend Zingrone Landscaping!

"Dear [Removed name], You are leaving feedback for the wrong Contractor. We have no record of ever speaking with you nor working with you at all. We have not ever worked or looked at a job in your zip code nor have we ever heard of (let alone worked with) the landscaper you reference in your review. We would greatly appreciate you reviewing which contractor you truly worked with and we ask that you remove this slanderous and inaccurate review of our company. You are doing a disservice to the paying members of Angie's List by posting inaccurate reviews."

My back and front yards were in dire need of landscaping.  The sloped section of my back yard was especially difficult to cut with a lawnmower so Joe and his crew dug out the grass, planted trees, perennials, edged and mulched.  I now have a beautiful back yard oasis that's pleasing to the eye.  Forsythia from my neighbor grew over the perennials on my side yard.  They were trimmed, some removed/cut back, weeds pulled and the boarder edged.  Now it looks wonderful.  Joe and crew also provided similar landscaping services for my front yard and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.  I highly recommend this company for anyone in need of landscaping services.

Joe and his crew were absolutely fantastic.  They came in and did a job that has been lingering for over five years because we never found the right people to do it.  They did it in two days, which would have taken me and my family at least all summer!  They were extremely professional straight from the time of the estimate all the way through until the work was completed. They knew what they were doing and Joe was extremely knowledgeable in the field naturally as expected.  They were incredibly clean and were very concerned about cleaning up when the job was done which is something you just don't see nowadays with most companies.  The yard looks amazing now!  The team went the extra mile and everyone that came to work was polite and professional.  I just can't say enough except that if you choose to use them you will not be disappointed in any way!

I contacted them via email and they responded in a normal amount of time.  They set up a date to come out and look over my project area, discuss options and give ideas.  A written estimate was sent to me a week later.

They did an excellent job!  We would highly recommend! 



While Zingrone Landscaping was not the cheapest quote we received, we were confident that the final product would be worth the additional cost.  Joe was very detailed in explaining his process and setting forth end product expectations.  The quality of the job was outstanding, the wall and staircase look beautiful, and Joe and his team were very responsive to all of our questions or concerns.

Joe was very helpful and even spent the time to give me some tips for other plants on my property that are showing signs of stress. He is knowledgeable, and this set me at ease that the tree planting would be done right. Joe showed up the morning of the planting and then left his workers to do the installation. The trees they planted were enormous, and they dug a large hole for each root ball. It was difficult job, given limited access for equipment, and they worked quickly and planted the trees straight (no easy task on the hillside).
I was somewhat disappointed with the degree to which my yard took a beating from this installation. I expected some damage, since the trees were planted on a small steep hillside, and four men were needed to move each tree, but I was surprised that all of my tulips, lilies, crocus, allium, and scilla were trampled and the vinca minor, which had covered the hillside, was ripped out / buried so that the hill ended up looking like a solid clay surface. They didn't mulch around the new trees. I've now spent a few hundred dollars and a couple of weekends to restore the hillside.
The trees were not trained, so they have more of a wild and unpruned look, which could be an aesthetic preference, but inner branches of birch are supposed to be pruned back during dormancy to avoid branches knocking together, which can damage bark and attract the borers to which white birch are susceptible. Both trees are larger than I expected, and it's nice to have them already look like an established part of the landscaping.
Overall my experience with Joe was good, and I would call him again for other jobs -- I just wasn't so impressed by the way this job was finalized.
