6 months after completion 3 plants and a tree were dead - I had to threaten to involve the magistrate to have them replaced before someone was sent to replant new ones. Two of the replaced plants are dead and the tree which I was told was just dormant from the winter is completely dead in my front yard - would not recommend them for any services.

When I signed the contract I was told work would begin by the end of April. Work didn't begin till mid May. Then in the middle of the project they stopped work to complete another project. This was just poor scheduling and not managing expectations very well. This is what separates good contracts from poor ones. I can handle poor scheduling as it seems to be the norm. They extended our gutter drain pipes into the neighboring property. I had asked them not do anything beyond my property line but he did this for his convenience so he could push the extra dirt out instead of removing it. I had to then dig up and redirect all the pipes myself to fix the problem as the property owner is trying to sell the land. The patio and side walk came out really nice but the grass is looks terrible. There is crab grass growing everywhere even in the mulched areas. I expect that I will have to re-seed the entire lawn myself. I'm very disappointed.
Description of Work: Provided top soil, grading and seeding for a new lawn. Also installed a brick paver side walk and patio.

The landscaping was great - unfortunately when it came to the seeding of the front and back lawn its a different story. The grass has brown spots, mushrooms, weeds and many bare spots. Thousands of dollars later our lawn looks no better then before. We continue to water as we have from day one which keeps it green but it is ugly. They came one time after the seeding and mowed and put something down which turned the lawn brown. The owner did a quick walk around our property where it was dead and said he would take care of it....that was 2 months ago. Have not seen anyone since the mowing. They are great at the initial project but there is no desire to follow up to make sure they have done quality work both they and us are proud of. Extremely disappointed in the service of this company will not recommend or use them again.
Description of Work: They landscaped our front and back yard.

Job guaranteed one year and needed repair after a severe rain storm. Job completed in September 2013 and repairs completed in April/May 2014 after new grass was well established. Overall, a good job though punctuality and responsiveness to follow-up calls could be improved.

Did not use vendor. The job was to big for them.
Description of Work: Provided quote. They provide a fair price for the job but choose to go with another provider for this particular job. In the future, I would not hesitate to call for another quote.

`As a new home owner with an overgrown mess of a front yard, Tom came out to give me an estimate and helped formulate my loose vision of ideas. The work was done while I was not home and when I returned and saw what he had done, I was amazed, it was beautiful! Tom provided me a few tips on care and even let me know about a potential plumbing issue with my hose in the backyard. He was friendly, professional and prompt throughout the entire experience. I will not hesitate to use this company in the future, as this property will surely need more help and TLC in the future.
Description of Work: Removed large bush, dug out old flowerbeds and created 3 new ones.

He was great to work with. He drew a blueprint of what he was going to do and explained all the plants and trees that he was going to plant for me. He worked with a lot of rocks and mulch and made it look great. He worked around my schedule. He worked non stop and even came on Saturday. He was very clean and explained what little things that did need to be done.
Description of Work: He worked with me to get a maintenance free front lawn so I don't have to cut grass or water much. He planted plants that can take care of themselves. He has a 1 year warranty so he will come back to make sure everything is doing ok and if not, he will replant.
