Everything went well. We spent a lot of time discussing options/ideas for our yard and the plans were drawn up and delivered in a timely manner.
Description of Work: Came to our house for a consultation and drew up a landscape plan per our discussions.

Ultimately, it didn't go well. It took him months to provide the plans, and that was only after I had bugged him repeatedly to do so. Once he did provide the designs, he then tried to rush me into scheduling the work. Because of these issues and my dissatisfaction with his plans in general, I chose to find another company for the job.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for him to provide a landscape assessment along with some designs.

It didn't go. I do not consider a little pencil drawing as a suitable submission for a complete backyard makeover. I might as well have thrown $99 in the trash. He did not listen and did not prove that he knew what he was doing. Also did not provide examples of previous work.
Description of Work: After providing a tour of the yard and my overall requirements, he took 3 weeks to draw on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper, in pencil, a little drawing. That's what $99 pays for. None of my requirements were taken into consideration and he included boxwoods of all things. Do not waste your time or your money.

After 8-9 days with no response, I tried to call Riverside (Matt). I had both the telephone and email address. I called at least 8-10 times on 3 different phones starting at 8 am in the morning and continued until 7 pm at night. All answers were by message machines, no email responses. The next day I called Angie's List and told this story and was treated very professionally and politely. The next day after I called Angie's List, Matt (Riverside) called me and set up an appointment. He came as promised and brought 2 regular sized drawings (on 8.5 x 11 paper) The drawings were not to scale and were small enough to have been emailed. He was very polite but could not answer several questions presented by my wife. Also the price seemed high for the service. Our issues were: -He said he could not email the drawings which was not true -He would not respond to 8-20 calls and voice mails, and emails until I contacted Angie's List -He seemed overpriced and he neither mentioned nor showed us any credentials or formal education or certification as a landscaper. Summary-a nice enough guy who has more business than he wants so he is not worried with customer service. Also no assurance of his credentials as a a landscaper.
Description of Work: He came out to my house after I bought the Angie List Deal for $99. The deal was to come out and draw up a landscaping written proposal. I called and set up an appointment. He came out as promised and .we looked at the yard, he asked a few questions, took a few pictures and stated he would get back to us in a week or so. We asked for an email proposal but said he could attach large drawings so he would come back within 7-10 days.

Prompt and cleaned everything up. Did an extremely good job and I am more than pleased with the work and the price.
Description of Work: They not only provided and spread the mulch, which was the big deal, but I also requested they trim all my bushes, including a fan palm and several large sego palms.

First visit went ok, very personable. Said he would design something for us and return the following week. I had to call him and ask when he was coming out, that he said he would be out the following week and did not show up or call. He made an appointment for the following Wednesday and showed up on Tuesday instead. The plan was very general, not what I expected, the back yard was not detailed at all. Fair service at best.
Description of Work: came out, looked at property and gave us a plan with estimated costs

The job was cancelled by myself.
Description of Work: This job was cancelled by myself and my money was reimbursed so I am not able to give a performance review. I am giving an overall C because the company called me an hour after they were due to come and was confused about the service we were doing that day. At that point I cancelled. To be fair to them, I will say that in the meantime I have found another lawn care provider or I would have tried to use Riverside again.

We were very happy with the communication from Riverside. We received either a phone call or e-mail updating the status of our appointment promptly. Actually, I was not able to be at home on our scheduled service date, so my husband agreed to be available when Riverside arrived. He was unexpectedly called away before the scheduled time. Based on instructions from our previous communications, the job was satisfactorily done in our absence

The cost would be over $10,000 to landscape my property. He said it would be cheaper if I utilized smaller plants. He was very professional and very nice, but I think this work could be done for about $3000.00. 10k to 20k is just too expensive. No work was done, and at that cost it won't be. I also wasn't impressed with the layout of the plants, and types he was suggesting.
Description of Work: When he finally came out after forgetting to contact me with a layout, he was punctual and gave me a price. Approximate cost of service of $10,000.00.

The owner is very knowledgeable, friendly, willing to take time to explain and answer questions. When I hadn't received my drawing of suggested work after a week, I called. He responded quickly and came out in the next day or two. The verbal knowledge and advice were great. My only disappointment was that the drawing was not professional, just a rough sketch on tablet paper.
Description of Work: This was a Big Deal purchase. The owner came out, looked at my back yard, and provided ideas for landscaping. Approximate cost of service $99.00.

Fantastic service; I needed to additional yards for which I was charged $130. The total price was incredibly affordable for the quality of mulch received and the fact that I didn't have to spend an entire weekend to mulch my front and back yards!

They were GREAT and the yard looks awesome. I have very large areas for mulching, thus the reason for what you might think is expensive. I felt it was very reasonable considering the amount of mulch that was needed.
Description of Work: Cut back dead plants in flower beds, pulled weeds, trimmed, mowed and put mulch down. Also planted flowers.

It was a mediocre. It just didn't care for the plan, thought it was very pedestrian. There is nothing special about it. Everything was professional and good except for the fact that we just didn't care for the plan. He was fine, he did everything he was supposed to do, and we just didn't choose his plan. I don't know how to grade that frankly.
Description of Work: I used the Big Deal and landscaping - hardscaping & pavers service of Riverside Lawn & Landscape. He inspected the property, he prepared to plan and reviewed it with us.

We have a beautiful home on a corner lot and have lived there for more than 20 years. Two days later we received "yard of the month" for the first time from our community. Matt, the owner, is a good listener, followed the plan and did a beautiful job. We plan to have them do our back yard and patio some time in the near future. We are very pleased with their work. I give them an A+++.
