Thank you so much for your feedback, it is what will help us to continually improve in our customer service area. We do hope that this member was able to contact and hire another company to assist with this project. Not sure what happened or where the miscommunication came from unfortunately.

Description of Work: We had FSL out to remove an existing deck, erect a covered chalet style pergola and pavers around our pool-- their estimate came in under a few others that we had, and they finished the whole thing (not a small job by any means) in 2 days! They did an excellent job and we couldn't be happier with them.

Fresh Start came quickly and got here right before Thanksgiving, to do the work. They got the work done right away for me, as I wanted it ready prior to the holidays. All of the work was finished in 1 day and they had everything cleaned up well, when they left.
Description of Work: They built a courtyard for me. I had stone put down and a fountain installed. Monkey grass was also, planted.

This patio is fabulous. I love it , I use it all the time to sit out in my yard. They had a crew of guys who actually had it all done in four days. They cleaned up very well when the were done and carted away the stones from the old patio. I no longer have a flooding problem either.
Description of Work: I had a large flagstone patio installed. Also had drain pipes installed in the area to solve a flooding problem I had around the back of my home.

I had a previous contractor put down some flagstone on my back patio. For one they didn't finish the job and two they did a terrible job. Fresh Start Landscapes came in and started from scratch and put down fresh cement foundation and new flagstone and it looks amazing! I couldn't be happier, I just want to sit out there all the time and admire it. I also had a problem with flooding in my house if it rained too hard. They also put in some drainage so the rain would stay out of my house. The good news is, it rained really hard last night and my floors are dry! The price was a little over my budget but worth it. Doug, his wife, and his crew were very friendly and professional throughout the entire process.

They're not cheap, but the work is worth it, and for all I had done, I feel the price was good. They also worked within my time frame, which was quite short, as I was having out of town company the following weekend and wanted everything to be completed! They did the job, and I'm so pleased. It's beautiful.

Everything was very professional and timely. Very easy to work with and did what was promised. Price quoted seemed high at the time of the estimate but now that it is done, I can see just the level of detail and completeness of work they were planning on doing. I especially liked the fact they were always on time for appointments ... from the first visit to give the estimate on through the actual work to be done. Planning on having them come back out this fall for more work (fall plants and perhaps a total lighting system).
Description of Work: Had them completely redo my front and back yard (clearing old gardens, gravel paths, etc). Replaced with stone walkways, new sprinkler system and new flowerbeds in the front and back yard.

I have used this company since February of 2003. The company employees are very friendly. They worked quickly to finish the job and drove their company truck to my home. They have a guarantee on all the shrubs and plants in the yard as well as the sod. I was very happy with the service that they provided and my yard is coming together.

THE WORK WAS DONE IN LATE FALL. AN ESTIMATE WAS GIVEN A FEW DAYS AFTER MY INITIAL CALL AND WORK BEGAN TWO WEEKS LATER. IT TOOK 7 DAYS TO COMPLETE. DOUG AND CRICKET WERE VERY PERSONABLE AND EAGER TO PLEASE. PROBLEMS WERE HANDLED WELL. DOUG DOES NOT STAY WITH THE CREW, BUT STOPS BY FROM TIME TO TIME TO OVERSEE THE WORK. SOME EXTRAS WERE ADDED BY ME DURING THE PROJECT AND THE PRICES FOR THEM SEEMED A LITTLE STEEP. I HAD EXPECTED (AND THOUGHT WE HAD AGREED TO) SEVERAL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE EXISTING SPRINKLER HEADS BECAUSE OF THE BED CHANGES. VERY MINOR 'QUICK FIXES' WERE DONE BUT I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE HEADS MYSELF. (FOR EXAMPLE, A LINE OF MOSS ROCK SAT ON TOP OF SEVERAL HEADS. THE HEADS WERE MOVED OVER A BIT TO THE OUTSIDE, BUT THE ROCK BLOCKS THE WATER SPRAY INTO THE BEDS. MINOR MOVE INCLUDED, TALLER HEAD NOT. THEY DO NOT DO 'MAINTENANCE' ON SYSTEMS THEY HAVEN'T INSTALLED. OVERALL A VERY GOOD LOOKING PROJECT. ALL OF THE MATERIAL - PLANTS ESPECIALLY - ARE FIRST RATE.
Description of Work: WORK INCLUDED PAVESTONE BRICKWORK: 2'-WIDE STRIPS ALONG BOTH SIDES OF THE DRIVEWAY, A 5'-WIDE SIDEWALK ALONG THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE AND A 16' X 22' PATIO IN THE BACK YARD NEXT TO THE HOUSE. THE PATIO WAS COVERED WITH A PERGOLA. TWO LARGE EXISTING PLANT BEDS WERE EDGED WITH ABOUT 220' OF DOUBLE-STACKED MOSS ROCK. A VARIETY OF PLANTS WERE PUT IN TO COMPLIMENT EXISTING PLANTS: AZALEA, HAWTHORN, OLEANDER, GINGER, ETC. - ABOUT 40 OR SO, AT 4 SEPARATE LOCATIONS. TWO 4'' OAKS AND AN 8'' MAPLE WERE REMOVED AND A 3'' CAMPHOR TREE PLANTED. A PALET OF SOD WAS LAID. THE TWO BIG BEDS WERE MULCHED AND A GOOD AMOUNT OF RIVER ROCK WAS PUT IN FOR ACCENTS.
