Awful!! Could not get recall visit to repair but did get arguments that it wasn't their fault, bla, bla, bla.
Description of Work: Relandscaped my front yard. Just drug over old shrubbery leaving roots which have since sprouted and grown new/old shrubs, including holly, crepe myrtle, and various others. Several plants died. "Fixed" problem water issues....NOT. Worse than when it began. Even lost backyard, inground pool due to flooding when drainage was clogged with sand and roots after less than year. Trimming trees: had to provide workers my triming tools and help them decide what to trim, etc.

There were a couple of delays, one due to my failure to correctly time the removal of a garden shed from the property and one due to supplier delays. Since I'm employed in the construction industry as well I consider this normal and nothing out of the ordinary. Old South adjusted to the obstacle (shed issue) I placed in the middle of their plan without complaint. Mr. Harrison is very focused on sticking to budget and kept us informed of where we were as we progressed and promptly quoted the cost for a few changes we made along the way. Each member of his staff that we interacted with was clearly trained to be customer focused. They were friendly, courteous and answered questions that came up in Mr. Harrison's absence. While they were working I was busy completing my deck and rebuilding my dock. They were very cooperative coordinating with me, and even helped me clean up and haul away my debris at little or no charge.
Description of Work: Old South evaluated my sadly neglected heavily overgrown lakefront property which we were preparing for sale. Mr. Harrison formulated and submitted a detailed schedule and pricing proposal, and brilliantly executed the plan. Our lot is almost an acre of rolling terrain with about 150 ft of shoreline. Step one was to bring in heavy equipment and clear away all the undergrowth along the shoreline and then to the east of the house. New shrubs were planted around the house and the front yard was re-sodded. The driveway was re-graded and re-paved with crushed recycled concrete. The stream along the east side of the property running down to the lake was re-cut to allow proper drainage of a soggy portion of the lot and lined with river rock. Finally new trees were brought in and the back yard sodded with zoysia turf. The difference was stunning, leaving the property almost unrecognizable from before. Our real estate broker who initially saw the property before work had begun was very impressed. We were so impressed with their work that we've retained them to maintain the landscaping at our new home as well.

I apologize to the Clients, however we have loss our offices due to a fire and are trying to regain phone and internet services but the process is extremely slow. I have contacted the Clients through the Angie's List email with another number that we can be reached at. We apologize for the inconvenience and we hope to have a temporary solution soon.

When I first met with Larry to get an estimate, he detected the sound of rushing water from a burst pipe. He then assisted me in locating the break, and getting the main water valve shut off, which I greatly appreciated. We were very pleased with the results of this project. The curving front walkway is very attractive and enhances the curb appeal. Larry is very creative and has a great sense of humor. We have received numerous compliments from neighbors and passers by on the front professional landscaping. I made Larry aware, upfront, that I was working within a tight budget. He worked hard to insure that we stayed within budget, while still creating a beautiful look. The price was very reasonable for the projects completed. His crew was courteous and professional, and they cleaned up well. The initial paver installation experienced a heavy rain, showing several inches of standing water. Larry immediately addressed the problem by installing a drain outlet, surrounded by decorative stones. It has worked beautifully. The only issue I had with Larry is that he is much more responsive during the sales portion of a project, where he would respond to voicemail within hours, than he is during the service itself--when my concerns or questions could take one to two days for a response from him. However, we are very pleased overall with Larry and Old South and would definitely use him again.
Description of Work: Installed curving paver walkway and installed surrounding shrubs, grasses, and mulch in front of house. Installed retaining wall, additional top soil, and stepping stones in back near deck.

Has been in contact with us since to ensure proper watering/care is provided to new plantings. You can count on these guys.
Description of Work: Cleared overgrowth and trees (small to medium / 5' to 30'), removed root systems and large stump from back of new home site. Clean-up was impeccable. Leveled and prepared area for plantings. Met us at local plant nursery to pick out 6 trees, 3 shrubberies and 1 large potted tree. Planted all in agreed upon locations. Laid down landscape fiber and river stones over entire landscape area. Relocated pine straw from back and sides of existing landscape area in back/side yard to the front of home and put river stone in their place.

I feel compelled to provide this negative review because I hired this company, in large part, based upon their Angie's List and quot;Aand quot; rating. This was not a good experience. It started out good, but ended very poorly. After summer hit, the agreed-upon things were not done and my continual pleadings and communications with the grounds crew and the owner were to no avail. Over the course of the 6 months this company was in charge, my yard and property deteriorated and became overgrown and unattractive. Relationship was terminated early due to this.
Description of Work: Provider contracted to do all mowing, weed-eating, driveway & walkway etc. edging, hedge trimming, tree pruning, fertilizer for grass & shrubs, fungicide for grass & shrubs, maintenance of irrigation system & maintenance of landscape lighting - 2.5 acres residential property.

Response from Old South Landscaping
Old South, not the customer, terminated this relationship and contract on September 7th when it became apparent that we were not going to be able satisfy the ever-broadening scope of the engagement. The monthly maintenance engagement was based on maintaining grass/shrubs, providing scheduled chemical applications and maintenance of irrigation and landscape light systems, which we performed for 6 months. During the 6 months, the customer asked us to perform additional work, which we did, at no extra charge to the customer, but at significant, unbudgeted expense to Old South. In September it became apparent that we could not do the expanded work at the original price. The customer would not pay for the additional scope, so agreed it best to part ways on an amicable basis.

Larry came out to survey the area on Thursday. He advised we'd have a quote by Monday, unforutnately he was having computer challenges and we didn't get the quote until Wednesday. He was also several weeks out before he would be able to do our work. We elected to go with someone who could get to us quickly. Overall, the quote was higher then they other four we recieved.

We hired some friends to do the job and they are in the process of doing it now and they are doing a beautiful job. Will never call again or recommend Old South Landscaping to anyone. I don't know how they stay in business.
Description of Work: He came out to the house as asked. Wrote down every thing we wanted and said he would send an estimate the next day. Didn't send one until I called him at least twice and the second time I told him I had another landscaper and I would decide on Friday. Sent an estimate. Called on Friday to tell him we would him and never heard from him again.

Realizing that we have had problems with scheduling during this unusually wet season, this is not the case here. It is true that the Client left a message about getting the job and when I received their message I had our secretary return the call for me since I was out of town. Our secretary called to confirm a date and was told by the Client that we had made a mistake and was not hired but that the other landscaper had. Our secretary called me back to let me know and I figured I had misunderstood the message. There were no other calls from the Client that would have lead me to believe any different.

We apologize for these two incidents that have happened in such short proximity to each other. Though we have a system in place to contact our customers of project delays due to weather, materials not delivered by vendors, etc., we have had a breakdown in those procedures and corrective actions have been taken. We hope that we can regain the trust of these customers in the future.

It was horrible. We would never want to use or recommend them to anyone. Job was not done as we agreed. Larry, the owner, was very rude. The job suppose to be finish in two or three months. It took them almost 8 months to finish. He was hardly on site. His employees didn't know what to do or what's on in on. We had to take days off from work to monitor and tell them what to do. The pond was muddy causing all my Koi fish dead. The deck was left unfinished. Nails were everywhere. The pavers was not level . He wants an extra $15,000 more that we never discuss or agree upon. We are disputes and in a law suit. We had so many proves that they did a terrible and unfinished job.

The project took about two months and was completed in agreed upon stages. As each part of the work was completed (the clean up, the choosing of the plants, the planting and the instructions for care), the company checked in to ensure that the project was going well. There were minor problems about the clean up phase but the company communicated about it promptly and fixed it immediately. The company billed for services as the stages of the project were completed satisfactorily. The owner was prompt in responding to all inquiries. He worked around my schedule and communicated clearly about what the plans were. He was considerate of my budget and listened closely to what I wanted. He was a pleasure to work with and checked back to be sure things met my expectations. Thanks!

no issues. The crew was very careful not to cause a mess on the adjoining lawn and the crew appeared right on time.
Description of Work: This was a straightforward gravel driveway job. They were very prompt in setting up the initial visit for the estimate and in providing the actual product, but some delays in having questions answered post initial estimate because of some travel issues regarding our contact person. I would certainly contact them again for general landscaping work -- we understand from friends that they do good work.

I was very happy with the work and even happier that they fixed the wall immediately, with no additional charge. Old South stands by their work and fixed the problem without any fuss. I'm very happy with this company.
Description of Work: Old South Landscaping built a beautiful retaining wall at the edge of my property and I was very happy with results. When we had record breaking rain and flooding soon after, a portion of the wall collapsed. Old South's crew was at my house first thing in the morning to refurbish the drainage and rebuild the wall.

They were okay. They did a good job with the lawn; cutting the grass. We had a couple of issues with them. One was them dumping the grass on the street, but I spoke with them about that and it was cleared. There was no issue after that. The second was that the owner was hard to reach sometimes when I wanted some issues addressed with him, so I would always had to leave messages. Their punctuality was good. I would use them again.
Description of Work: I used Old South Landscaping to cut the front and back lawns. I also asked them to remove some shrubbery and I had some shrubbery replanted. They removed some in the front and replanted it at the back. I am on a plan with them.

I was very happy with the work Larry and his crew did. I would highly recommend them. The front yard was a mess with all the tree roots. They removed them and put in topsoil and laid the sod. They had the tree stumps in the back ground since they were going to be in a natural area. They put a lot of effort into the preparation of the yard and I am very happy with the way the yard looks. They even did an extra step by installing a new sprinkler head to provide better coverage. Larry stopped by several times to check on things and offered some good advice on the project. His crew was very professional and I could tell they took a lot of pride in their work. My neighbours are now coming by to compliment me on how good the yard looks. Thanks for a job well done.
Description of Work: Larry's crew started with prunning some overgrown bushes, they removed two tree stumps in the front yard and ground up four stumps in the back. Prepared the yard and installed new sod.

The owner came out to give me a quote, and due to time constraints (my fault) was not able to perform the work. He was very knowledgeable and provided some excellent advice, which gave me the confidence to do the work myself. Even said he would come back by if necessary to give me some pointers.

We didn't go with them. It was our general impression about the person. We were just not impressed with the guy who came out and he didn't have the right answers compared with the people we went with. I think it was more of an attitude problem. He was proposing a lot of ideas which was not making sense to us. We just didn't feel comfortable with him. The responsiveness was good.

Response from Old South Landscaping
I own Old South Landscaping, LLC and, regrettably, Member's experience is correct. We are a small company that, fortunately, experienced unforeseen growth in 2011. As a result, additional staff was required and after several pre-screens, interviews and resume reviews, an additional sales person was hired. Subsequently, after this customer's experience, and one other, this individual was released. As the owner, ultimately, I am accountable for Member's unsatisfactory experience and his perception of my company; however, it is my hope that he will reconsider and provide us an opportunity in the future to make up for this incident.
