Lots of problems. Problems are to be expected on any job. But problems were not resolved timely or satisfactorily or completely.

Swimmingly, once she worked me into her schedule (about six weeks between deposit and doing the work). The crew prepped every non-grass part of my yard--removing weeds, etc.--not just the replanting areas. Hurricane Harvey had deposited every weed seed in Harris county on my property. The design is pleasing and I'm very happy with it. In the front yard photo, the large shrub at the back was existing. But they weeded the area and mulched it.
Description of Work: Completely replant area across front of my house and also at back by patio.

Description of Work: We were unable to get them to provide a quote in a timely fashion. The pool quote they provided was way out of range (extremely high). We heard from neighbors that they were involved in litigation with former clients also over job completion quality.

I met with the client in July 2015 and she was in a rush to have a pool started and finished by September. There was not access on either side of the house to get a Bobcat in the backyard to dig the pool. That meant the pool would have to be hand dug. I gave her a verbal estimate of what that would cost. She told me she could not afford that and I asked her if she could talk to her neighbor to the right about using their driveway for the dig. She said she would ask but she never got back to me with an answer from the neighbor. Since I did not know if we could use the neighboring drive for the project I did not give her a written estimate. A few days later the designer informed me that [Member Name Removed] hired Edgar Brothers to install the pool. Also we are not now nor have we ever been involved in litigation over a job. I don't understand why [Member Name Removed] would make this slanderous comment, I barely know her and we only met face to face 1 time. Thank you, Lisa Laird

I have been using this company continually since 2013, so disregard the field that limits response to a particular date. Lisa Laird is professional and responsive, and the landscape crew that comes to my house every tuesday is top notch. I am very happy with the quality of the their services and highly recommend them.

.Our home would not look the same without their constant attention. There are here promptly when planned which is weekly at 8:00am every Thursday. Always willing to do whatever needs to be done and then some. My yard is something I do not have to worry about and am always receiving compliments on it.
Description of Work: Landscaping and maintenance for large and extensively landscaped yard for almost 13 years. Always receive lots of compliments.
Lisa discussed the projects with me in a very professional manner, understood quickly what I wanted and made excellent suggestions for problem areas and submitted a detailed bid for the work. Overall the crews delivered prompt and courteous service. The cleanup and trimming crew did an excellent job as did the sprinkler crew, sprinklers performing well.
Description of Work: Yard cleanup and major trimming of large corner yard with mature plantings, was badly in need of trimming and cleanup, some landscaping and plantings done, full irrigation system installed with 10 sprinkler zones and 5 drip lines. Also added another area to existing gravel covered area. Now have crew doing routine mowing and maintenance.

Terrible customer service! I called them for a quote and we set up a time. A week or so later, I never heard a peep from them, so I wasn't sure the time had been confirmed (I'm used to businesses giving and quot;call aheadsand quot; to let you know they're heading out to your property and confirming the date/time.) I never received a call ahead, and I wasn't going to leave work until I knew for sure they'd be there to meet me. I tried calling their number but it just rang and rang and then went to the answering service. Finally, one girl picked up, said she'd call me back but she never did. In the meantime, my boyfriend was at my house and saw them pull up. He told them I'd be there in ten minutes, but he said the lady had an attitude, slammed her car door and looked frustrated. When I got there, they had left! No one was there and I never even received a call back after leaving a message and calling multiple times. I guess they didn't want the work that badly, but it was very poor customer service on their part. They have to understand that people like me work during the week and have to use their lunch breaks to meet with them for bids -- and a simple call ahead to confirm would have cleared this whole mess up. Long story short -- I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Someone who gets a short temper that easily shouldn't be around sharp objects, in my opinion.
Description of Work: I contacted them for a quote.

I had an appointment to meet the member at her home at 11:30. When we set up the appointment I never told her I would call to confirm nor did she ask me to call and confirm. I have a very tight schedule this time of year and I only have a few minutes between appointments and it is difficult to make calls when I am driving. To this day I have never missed an appointment and I don't call to confirm unless someone asks me to. I was at her house watiting at 11:30 when she was calling my office to see if I was going to meet her. My secretary told her I was already at her house but the member said she wasen't going to go home to meet me until I called her myself. In the meantime I was at the house talking her boyfriend and he called her to let her know I was there, at the prearranged meeting time, waiting for her. He said she would be there in 10 minutes. I waited 20 minutes and she never showed up, so I left. I think it was extremly rude of her to waste my time by not showing up for our scheduled meeting, and I was also unable to meet with another potential customer at that time because I was waiting for her. I think she could have called my office at least 30 minutes before the appointment to confirm if she needed a confirmation. Calling at the time we were supposed to be meeting seems very unprofessional to me. Also I never slammed my car door, I had just pulled up to her house and was sitting in my car as her boyfriend was pulling out of the driveway, we rolled down our windows and talked in the middle of the street. Thank you, Lisa Laird
Excellent. Lisa's crew has been with her for the 6+ years that we have used her company. That says a lot in the landscaping business. They are professional and trustworthy.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE WAS VERY BAD. MS. LAIRD IS TOTALLY UNRESPONSIVE. WHEN WE POINTED OUT THAT SHE HAD NOT DONE ALL THE TRIMMING, SHE GOT DEFENSIVE. WHEN WE ASKED WHEN SHE WOULD FINALLY DO THE WORK THAT SHE OUTLINED IN HER OWN CONTRACT, SHE GO EVEN MORE DEFENSIVE AND THEN RESIGNED. WE HAVE PAID HER FOR 9 MONTHS AND NOT ONCE SEEN ANY FERTILIZING OF ANYTHING! WILL NEVER USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN OR RECOMMEND ANYBODY ELSE DOES.
Description of Work: YARD MAINTENANCE, TRIMMING OF SHRUBS AND SMALL TREES, FERTILIZING, SPRAY INSECTICIDE. CLEAN-UP OF YARD. WE WERE ASKED TO SIGN A 1 YEAR CONTRACT WITH NO CANCELLATION CLAUSE.

We have maintained the member's landscape for eight months, not the nine stated in her letter. They have always been very nice and happy with our work. They first called us because they saw us at their neighbor's house and liked the way we maintained the yard. On the afternoon of Friday, March tenth, she called to say the crew had not finished the trimming. I called his office on Monday the thirteenth and left a message, because she had not left a number to call her back. I never received a return phone call. She called back on the seventeenth again, stating the trimming had not been finished. I drove to the house to inspect the trimming, because she could not explain to me what had not been trimmed. I discovered the Asian Jasmine ground cover has not been trimmed at the sidewalk in an eight inch section. I had the crew go back to the house that day and correct their mistake. The explained to me that they thought the Jasmine was on the neighbor's property. I have attached the member's faxes to me, and you can see why I thought it was in both parties' interests that we terminate the contract. There is no reason why this problem should have escalated to the point of termination, but it did. I do not want to work for someone who thinks I am a liar and who is so verbally abusive to me and my crew. Lisa Laird, President, Longhorn Landscape Services
