Landscape Innovations

We contacted Mike due to poor workmanship and bad advice by our last landscaper. Mike arrived to give us an estimate at the scheduled time and came up with a great plan for our re-do. Mike and his crew were punctual, professional and courteous throughout the job. Mike was at the job everyday supervising and answered all our questions and concerns during the job. We highly recommend Mike and his crew for a job well done.

Extremely thoughtful design. I got multiple bids for this project due to its scale, and decided to work with Michael because he had the most thorough design. It was very well planned and I feel like he went the extra mile on the prep side to earn my business. Additionally, his price per plant was equal to or less than other options in every instance. Professional, on time, good hardworking crew and Michael was present every single day they worked. Weeks later he still responds to sprinkler and plant questions the same day I text him

The landscaping and lighting work we had engaged Landscape Innovations to do went very well! During the project, my wife and I made a few changes to the original plan we approved which required additional landscaping to be worked in. Mike received these changes without hesitation and was able to complete the changes we requested. Mike was extremely hands-on with his crew and completed the work to our complete satisfaction. We had a great experience with Mike Rohe and will definitely use his company for our future landscaping needs.

Mike and his crew did an INCREDIBLE job! Hired them to re-do flowerbed paver edging & tree ring. They replaced with stone & brick to match the house. It made an AMAZING difference in our front yard! It matches the stone and brick on our house so well, it looks like it was done when the house was built! The crew has a great work ethic arriving in the morning, working all day to get the job completed. Our project took 2 days, but when they left they cleaned up beautifully - washing away dirt, sweeping, raking up grass around the tree ring and hauling away old pavers. We were left with a beautiful front yard! Great job, Mike Rohe & Crew! Would definitely recommend and use again!

It went great! This was an extensive job but Mike kept us informed on the progress at all times. He understood our vision and came up with great suggestions as well.

Michael and his team are great! They were prompt, professional, and did amazing work! Michael dug up our old grass and installed new zoysia sod in our backyard. He also designed and built a wonderful bed with some great trees and shrubs! Now that it has grown out a bit it looks fantastic!

They were exemplary in design, professionalism, and our need for rapid install before Thanksgiving company. I am a detail person, so I had him show me his suggestions for the different areas, he listened to my specific tree choices, started right away, stayed with the project all day to refine his design while the plants were there. He had ideas that were big improvements of an area that I didn't think of (too many blank spaces). I did ask him to detail number and size of all plants that were on his proposal. I cut out a few things (not a big fan of big rocks), etc, and at no extra cost, he adjusted all my sprinklers and drip lines to go with the new plants. The little trees looked like tall sticks, but they bloomed out gorgiously like he said they would early spring. Unlike many landscapers, he didn't want to charge me for his ideas, a plan, his suggestions, and he came up with many touches that enhanced all. Love it. He was great to work with. It was paid by check.From experience, most contractors don't take credit cards. They worked so hard all day and the result was fantastic.

They started the work and completed timely. The drain works well and we have received compliments on the landscape work in the front yard

It took over 3 months for a 5 day job that was never completed. What they did looks good, but the constant excuses and then asking for final payment when the job was not complete, not good at all. I had to contract with someone else to finish the job.

I have hired Landscape Innovations to finish up the backyard flooring (flagstone and pavers) and outdoor BBQ kitchen that was partially done by some other contractor. Mike and his team were extremely professional right from the beginning. It was a difficult task, as the prior contractor messed up so much that they had to tear things apart and rebuild it again. Mike absorbed the additional cost. They cleaned up the site nicely after the job is done. They did a GREAT JOB overall!

After initial contact with Landscape Innovations, Mike (owner) set a time to meet that was convenient for our working household. He took the time to survey, measure and develop a plan to completely renovate our front yard landscaping and add some shade trees on the side of the house. The quote was detailed and fair, and Mike took the time to visit with us again to walk through the details before beginning the work. The crew was prompt and professional, and completed the work on schedule. Mike and his crew completely transformed the front of our home! The layout complements our home's architectural features, and the colors work together beautifully. Our neighbors have been coming by to compliment the new look. Great job!

The best part is they showed up on time. The worst part is they asked for payment before the job was finished even though I told them I didn't want to do that. They gave me a hard time about it. It ended up not finishing as soon as they did get the payment. I was not very happy. They did 90% of the work. He got to the point that I guess he felt it was good enough. I'd given up. I have someone else finish it.

We contacted 3 companies based on the comments and recommendations here on Angie’s List. Of the 3, Landscape Innovations was the ONLY one to responded! Being a person that loves flowers, I wanted to change the evergreen in our backyard as well as add flowers to the front, Mike Rohe (the owner) came by and I was able to express to him my wishes for both the front and back yard. He sent me an estimate with the breakdown of flowers and plants he was going to provided. I had the opportunity to look them up on the internet. I was ecstatic at the colorful flowers and plants that he purposed to me. Mike and his crew was able to complete the job the same week that he contacted me. They were on time, extremely professional and considerate of our property. I would definitely use Landscape Innovations again.

Mike, the owner. is great to work with. He is knowledgeable and very responsive. We had no trouble getting in touch with Mike when we needed him and he was diligent about keeping us informed about scheduling and any issues that arose during the project. Last year we had several companies come out and quote on our drainage problem. Mike was the only one who recognized that the biggest contributing factor to our drainage the problem was the runoff from our roof. Since he addressed the drainage problem we have never had standing water in our yard even after massive rains. Our stamped concrete patio is beautiful. It is textured and colored to look like flagstone. We also had Mike build a grill Island out of natural stone and it complements our house and patio nicely. Because the area outside of the patio that needed to be regraded was substantial and ran under massive live oaks we had Mike come back this year and build beds and paths that has transformed our yard. This was a huge project. Mike took our vision and added his artistic touch and extensive knowledge to make it all come to life. We love working with Mike and plan to do a few more projects with him in the future. I would highly recommend working with this company.

At the outset, I would give Landscape Innovations high marks for the work that in many ways exceeded my expectations going into this project. The initial vision was to renovate existing landscaping in front of the house. While we had a general idea as to what was needed to be accomplished, Mike?s years of experience took the worry out of what needed to be done. His suggestions were spot on and I found the value for the work he provided to be good. Virtually ever detail was assessed; trees that could be saved were pruned up, shrubs replaced, landscape edging tastefully applied. The lawn was replaced and the sprinkler system tuned up. The uplights on the house were converted to LED. We felt comfortable working with Mike and extended the job in the front of the house to a remodel of the back yard with pruning existing bushes, taking some out, adding some new plants and new landscape beds. Landscape pebbles and path / tree lighting provided a lot of wow. The yard is beautiful. Mike was easy to work with. He was a good listener and was never overbearing in any manner. He really wanted us to be very happy and proud of the detail he put into the project. The project moved along as well. The plumbing, electrical and landscaping all went in parallel. Things that needed tweaking or rethinking were quickly handled. One of the requirements that I had was that there would be seasonal and annual follow-up as needed. As the work was just completed, I will report on this follow-up down the road. Being a few weeks out, the only thing I would have asked Mike to have done beyond what I contracted was for his crew to lay more plastic weed block down in renovated areas areas where he just cleaned up and mulched. I hate weeding. Overall, we were very satisfied with the work done by Landscape Innovations and without hesitation would hire him again or recommend him to other customers.

There was a clear failure to communicate between Landscape Innovation and my self. First, the retaining wall I wanted outside the 7 foot was placed inside. I paid an addition fee for a second footing for the retaining wall. The proposal called out 168 18? chop stone grey blend wall at $25 a foot for a total of $4200.00. I was told the only stone they found was a white stone and we used stone from around my yard. I ask getting some of the $4200 back because I provided the stone. Landscape Innovations told me, the $4200 was for setting the stone and had they provided the stone I would have been charged additional monies. Never mentioned in the proposal. Other things crept in such as grading which I did not ask for, ending up with a cost of $13,897.41 with me supplying the stone. Landscape innovations would have been the highest proposal.

The work was terrific - our backyard looks completely different now and Mike made the new design flow throughout the back yard to give it a consistent look. We will definitely use him again for future projects.

As with our first experience with Landscape Innovations, everything went very well. The project was delayed by the intense rains this season but once they started it only took about 3 days to complete. Mike has built a very good crew of very professional and capable hands and they are all a pleasure to work with. Martin supervises most of the landscape work and Cesar handles irrigation. Both do nice work There were a couple of follow up things to be done and Mike timely attended to them all. All in all, I vote for Landscape Innovations as most favored contractor. Great to do business with and the end result is well worth it. We recommended him to our daughter for re-doing their yard after installing a pool. Thank you Mike.

We asked for our garden to be spruced up before putting the house on the market. Mike seemed very sure of what needed to be done. Punctuality was great, the job itself was completed OK but definitely not perfect. The small flagstone area that the crew put in in front of the garden gate has been wobbly from the start. The flowers and caladiums that were planted looked OK but we don't feel that much thought was given to the overall design nor the placement of the plants in terms of shade/sun. Consequently some of the plants that are shade plants have started to suffer from exposure to too much sun in the location they were put in. This was a run-of-the-mill approach with and emphasis on a quick fix only. Quite a few things that Mike said would be done were not done - the crepe myrtles in the front were not pruned, and a few container plants he said would be used in the landscaping were not used. What really bothered us was that he sent his bill by email when his workers were still here putting in plants. This was the fastest invoice we have ever received! But it was in keeping with the overall approach. If I had to describe this job I would say it looked OK in some places for 4 weeks, and I guess it helped getting the house sold but I would not use this company again as their approach was quite unimaginative and a bit careless overall. However if you need a quick fix I would recommend them. Just not for a longer term effect.

Mike is truly innovative and imaginative. He came out, looked over our too heavily planted areas and made some suggestions to use fewer plants, more boulders, dry stream bed, and more. His crew is very professional and the entire job took less than 3 days. Everything went as planned despite some cold and wet days. We are very pleased with the outcome and want to have him back to continue the theme for other parts of our yard. It was a pleasure to work with Mike and we felt he was doing our yard as he would his own.

This was the only time I have used their services. His quote was comparable to others and his design was good as well. The job took about two weeks from start to finish. During the job, I did find that some of the plants were priced higher and not as big as we had expected them to be. They did have to come back after completion as there were some electrical issues with the lighting. I also had them move some of the plants since they were not as large as expected when planning their location. However, since the plants were moved in the fall, they later died. I replaced them myself the next spring with plants that were the original height that I had wanted. Overall, my experience with them was good. I would recommend to others to research the price and size of plants before choosing them with Landscape Innovations. We are very happy with how the job looks now.

Excellent punctuality and professionalism, however, we decided to go with a different bid.

They have not been very responsive since they did the job and I am questioning their customer service. I have to keep inquiring? with them about taking a look at the work they did as some of the trees are looking dead. It has been like that through the whole summer. They keeping telling me that it takes time and that the tree will recover but is hasn?t so far. It has been like this for about 6 months.

My experience with this company was excellent. Mike came by and gave me a fair estimate for the work to be done. I had a short timeline that I needed him to meet and he over exceeded my expectations. His crew was professional and courteous and did a fantastic job. I highly recommend Landscape Innovations.

Mike was very responsive and provided his quote in a timely manner. He understood our desire to have minimal maintenance and still have greenery around the house. His team was on time every day, were pleasant and even worked the 4th of July. They delivered the project on time as committed. We had concerns with finish out and we addressed most of them along the way. We feel Mike was willing to address big items (dead plants and weeds in the flower beds 10 days after install) but some of his explanations seemed like pushback. We are very detail oriented people, and for $16k, I do expect perfection with the finished product. All items we brought to his attention were resolved to our satisfaction. Mike was on site every day, sometimes for several hours, making sure everything was on track and installed correctly. I would use Landscape Innovations again. They provided a great escape for family & friends for years to come.
