Extremely disappointed in lack of service, accountability, communication and honesty. Based on good reviews in Angies List, we hired Madden to build a berm and plant 15 Arbor Vitae trees. Asked him specifically if planting in the summer heat was a problem, he assured us it was not. Within a week, two trees were dying. In less than a month, six more were browning and dying or dead. When calling Madden to address this he first stated we did not purchase the “optional warranty” on the trees. We quickly pointed out no such warrantee was ever mentioned and not listed in a single quote or email. In addition, every home and garden center provides a one year warrantee on trees and plants. After replacing one, he grudgingly agreed to replace four of the six dead trees and it took repeated emails and calls to get him to do that. A few others are not looking so good. To add to his growing list of double speak and inconsistency, he said we shouldn’t plant the replacement trees until the heat was over – a complete contradiction to what he told us before (see paragraph one). Even though we bought replacements for the dead trees he refused to plant with our own money, he wanted to charge us to replant those. We refused. I have used many local contractors for work on our home, some in the tens of thousands of dollars. I treat them fairly and pay on time. I have given many positive reviews here for my contractors and a few negative ones as well. My expectations are simple – value for what is paid, standing by your work, accountability for problems, and honesty. Madden Landscaping fell short in all areas. They are the worst company I have ever dealt out of dozens of contractors. See the pictures attached. Would you pay nearly $2000 for a row of trees that looked like this within 6 weeks? If you did, would you expect the landscaper who did this to stand behind their work? I have heard Angie’s List removes negative reviews for vendors who pay for advertising. I am also posting this on Consumer Checkbook, Yelp, Google reviews, and will be filing a complaint with the BBB.

Response from Madden Landscape & Lawn Care LLC
We are very sorry to hear that this customer was not satisfied, and we would like to share our side of the story. We planted the trees that were all in excellent condition, in the area constructed for them. Watering instructions were sent to the customer, and when they reached out to us a few weeks later about one of the trees, we explained that we do not guarantee plants as there are many variables that are beyond our control as to why a plant may not survive, and that is reflected in our pricing. If we were to offer a guarantee, the price would have been considerably higher, but we do not, and have never offered optional warranties. We returned however in good faith, and moved a tree from the end of the row, to replace the one that had died. We suggested that perhaps the trees were receiving too much water in conjunction with the rainy summer, and to decrease the amount given . When questioned about planting during the summer, we had informed the customer that as long as the plants are watered correctly , there should no issue, as planting is done all summer long. When they reached out again , in regards to the four other trees that showed stress, we informed them, that in order to provide good customer service, we would replace them at our expense, but we could not continue to do so moving forward. Our trees are never purchased from Lowes or Home depot etc., and our nurseries do not guarantee the trees purchased by contractors. If they die, we have to purchase new ones. We also suggested at that time , to wait until the fall, as it is a more forgiving season in regards to watering needs, since perhaps this was the issue. We responded to the emails from the client, and tried our best to work within their schedule. It is not always easy to commit to a specific time, especially when our work is dependent upon the weather which has been quite challenging recently. When we returned to replace the four trees, the customer asked us to plant another two that they had purchased. We agreed to do so at a very nominal fee for the cost of our labor, and customer was not happy with this request. The trees in picture have all been replaced by us. We are a reputable company where customer service is a prime concern, and we have not had an issue with this in the past.

We're very happy with the work that Daryl's team did. He showed up the day after I told him we wanted him to do the work and his crew of 5 worked hard all day long and transformed our overgrown yard into a professional, neat series of distinct beds and trimmed shrubs.

It took a couple of attempts but Daryl eventually stopped by to take a look at my property. He provided a quote later that day and was able to get out and perform the leaf "clean up" 2 days later, before I had company over. Property looks great without all those extra leaves.

I requested a quote and the owner reached out and left me a message. When I called back, I gave him my availability the following week and he wasn't sure if he could come by. I explained what I wanted done and told him he could come by when I wasn't there (my yard is not fenced). He agreed and I understood he'd be by the next week when I was at work. Two weeks later and I've heard nothing. I followed up and left a message. No response. I'd prefer for a company to get back to me and say they're booked rather than have me waiting around for a quote that's never going to happen. It's disrespectful and unprofessional. I would not recommend working with this company.

The job was completed satisfactorily from a quality and pricing standpoint. However, it took many phone calls, emails, rescheduling, delays (one of them of my doing because of prior tree work that left a root sticking out) before the job completed. I fully understand unforeseen weather issues, and am always open to rescheduling with enough notice. The full weight of my frustration stems from very poor fulfillment on his commitment. Three times i stayed home, cancelled work meetings, apologized to my management to work remotely, expecting Daryl's team based on specific days he himself had offered and committed to (fully accounting for, and around rainy days, which again i understood and accepted...), three times he was a no-show, again w/o notice (email or phone call). I wish i could take the same liberties with my own employer...

Thank you for your feedback and we appreciate your frustration, however, we came out to do the job within the time frame and on the day, as originally scheduled. Unfortunately, due to the fact that the tree stump had not been fully ground as anticipated by another contractor, we were unable to complete your job on that scheduled day, The customer said that he would let us know when the other contractor returned to complete their job, of which he did, and we said we would once again put them on the schedule. We also explained at that time, that it was a very busy time of the season and we would accommodate them in the best way that we could in order to complete the job as soon as possible. We had made scheduling commitments with our other clients ( as we had originally done with this customer) of which we could not break, and on two separate occasions further reworked the schedule to fit this job in . Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of Mother Nature, and weather directly affects our ability to do our work. On two occasions when we had you scheduled , we were unable to come out; once because it rained, and the second time because as a result of the rain that fell the day before, we were unable to work with the top soil that was available. We were also unaware that you had needed to be home for us to do the work, as that was not necessary on our end, and assumed that you would understand that we would not be out if it was raining. On the third attempt, we were present and working on the property, and it started to rain before we were finished. We returned once drying occurred and completed the job. We take pride in our work, and always make sure that our customers jobs are well done. In this case, it is important that the top soil we work with be sifted. smooth and workable in order for seeding to be effective and area to be leveled. We cannot control the weather, and as we have tried to convey, we cannot work with the top soil when it is wet. We are sorry that you feel that this job has not been taken care of in a timely manner, but with no uncertainty, we attempted to do everything to expedite the completion of this job.

Thank you for your feedback, it is much appreciated.. As an owner, I feel it is important to speak with each and every potential customer, as well as be on site for all of our jobs to ensure customer satisfaction. During the beginning of the Spring season, it is very busy, and I could not respond as quickly as I usually would. My apologies as to not getting back to you within what you feel was a reasonable time.

Daryl and his crew arrived early on the morning requested. They hand weeded each of the flower beds and applied a solid layer of mulch. Great detail was used to spread the much evenly under the plants without damaging the young plants. Additionally the new beds that were created were curved artistically onto the existing ones. The edging given to the beds is the most impressive I have ever seen. I could not be happier with the work and will recommend them to all my neighbors and friends.

I was very impressed with the fact that Daryl came over to check out the place about an hour or two after my initial call. He was very professional and helpful while at my home. However, I was told I would receive an estimate within the next day or so, and here we are weeks later, and I haven't heard from him again. I'm not really sure how a business can operate and expect to secure new clients when follow up is so poor. Perhaps it was an oversight rather than a typical practice, but it was enough that I did not care to call him to find out.

Overall Madden landscape did an outstanding job. I inquired about his services on a Sunday, he responded within hours and came out the next day (Monday) to be able to give me an estimate. With the estimate he also gave me suggestions including cost on additional improvements. I stressed that I wanted the work done before April 2nd and to my surprise they were able to come out on March 24th. What I liked about Madden, over other estimates, was that he called to discuss what I wanted done and went above and beyond to make sure i was satisfied.

Daryl and his crew were very busy and made time to fit me into their schedule (despite my late request for their services). Employees were professional and polite, always willing to answer questions or call Daryl when they were unable to answer. They worked quickly and efficiently. Daryl Madden definitely has his pulse on the workings of his business. He has always responded to my inquiries and concerns and has taken the time to sit down and present on paper designs & recommendations. Estimates are discussed and then always submitted to me electronically and/or on paper. Estimates are generally within $10.00 of actual cost...no surprises. I will continue to employ the services of MaddenLandscape and highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Beginning in Spring 2015 services provided were spring cleanup; removal and replanting of shrubs, trees; landscape planning and purchasing; aeration and seeding of lawn; tree trimming; fall cleanup; clearing home gutters of debris to rectify pooling of rainwater in front flower beds. At time of this review total cost figures were not available.
