A "D" because you do not like our schedule or quality? Man that's tough. Especially since we have never performed any work for you outside of an estimate. Thanks, Corey

Dale was my contact person. He came out to my house and told him what I wanted done. I sent me the original estimate and I was pleasantly surprised so I decided to add more plants. He sent me a list of options that were low maintenace that he thought would do well in our climate (I am not a gardening type). I picked out what I liked... he sent me back a layout of where he was going to put everything. The plan was for them to come out on a Thursday but we had a massive rainstorm the night before that pushed them back a day. He called and said they would either start that day and finish on Friday or they would do the whole job on Friday. I left town Friday morning... but came back to my new beautiful back yard. Everything was as expected and they cleaned everything up. They also set aside some plants (that the tore out) that I requested they save for me. Overall I think they did an outstanding job... certainly something I would have never wanted to do myself. I can't wait to see how much more beautiful it gets over the next few months when all my new plants grow and fill up their new homes!! Thank you so much!!!
Description of Work: Re-landscaped small back yard surrounding pool. Pulled out all the plants I did not want (about 10... but I'm counting the Cannas as 1 and there were probably 15-20 bulbs), planted 30+ new plants, relocated and got my extremely large sago palm to stand straight, planted a lime tree I'd already purchased, relocated several plants I wanted to keep but move to another spot, trimmed by Bottlebrush trees, re-mulched all the landscaping (and they did my front yard too), and also cleaned up some ferns I have on the side of my house.

The only thing I would say is, they do an excellent job. They're a little pricey over all the others but like I said you get what you paid for. The one thing I know is that all their guys are insured and all that stuff, you won't have any problems. Excellent quality.
Description of Work: They basically did trim the tree, put down a tree, it's just minor lawn maintenance.

drain pipe
  + -1 more
We called Yard Birds to come look at our poorly draining side yard. Drake made an appointment to come by and suggested a french drain system. We also asked that they level some low spots in our backyard. We were given an estimate for the work and he helped us with our homeowner's association approval and the drainage permit. The drainage permit wasn't needed for our area, so we didn't have to pay for that. The day of the installation the crew brought the wrong drain pipe, flexible black plastic instead of the rigid PVC we agreed upon originally. I called Drake and he confirmed it was wrong and had the correct pipe delivered before the trench was finished. The crew did an excellent job and worked through some very tough roots. They fixed the slope of the lawn in the back yard like we asked and with the leftover dirt fixed the slope on the side yard. The sod they put in was good quality and is the best looking grass on our lawn now. After drying out for a few weeks the side yard which like swamp is now draining well and solid enough to walk on even after heavy rain. We will using Yard Birds for future projects.
Description of Work: Installed around 110 ft of PVC french drain with 2 basins and tied into two downspouts. Also filled in low spots in yard with dirt and installed a pallet of sod.

Project went very well.Dale the project manager came to house with his work crew and went over job. When job was finished Dale came back and verified all work was done and done right. Workers did a great job and also cleaned up and removed all the items that were cut back. Terms of price slightly higher,but goes back to the old adage you get what you pay for.

Dale at Yard Birds was great, very responsive and kept me in the loop on what was going on. The installers were fast and courteous, and left my property clean and tidy, my wife didn't even know anything was done. I would highly recommend Yard Birds Inc for any landscaping or irrigation needs. I plan on having them back to do some other landscaping jobs. Thanks Dale!

Made an appointment for him to come out to give me an estimate on a pagoda/fire pit. He cancelled first appointment because his child was sick. I understand so we set another appointment for the same time the following week. I called him after waiting for 3.5 hours and was told he forgot about me. No potential client wants to hear they were forgotten.

[member name removed], I understand your frustration. If you are still interested in getting an estimate I will be happy to get a different salesperson out there to help you if not myself. I know Drake did not intentionally stand you up but understand that 2 times is 2 many. Let me know if I can help. Thanks, Corey

It went perfectly!! Yard Birds worked for 2 days with a 3-man team, and completed all I requested. Yard Birds performed the initial full landscaping project in 2012. They have taken care of all maintenance every since. It included 15,000 sq ft of landscaping which included 10 different flower gardens and the construction of a large Cabana w/roof in back yard which included a full bar, grill, fridge, kitchen style setup, lighting, etc. The initial project was handled by Lindsay, Yard Birds' Lead Landscape Designer. She put together an amazing plan....state of the art. Now Lindsay told me that with all of the new sod and plants involved it would be 2-3 years before the explosion of it all. I asked what she meant by "explosion". Lindsay said it had to do with the time it takes for plants to mature and such, but that I would have to experience the "explosion" to fully appreciate/understand it. Well, the first year was a very pleasant, beautiful surprise in color and beauty. However, now I am going in to the beginning of the 3rd year..............."Explosion" is an understatement. The place is really a visual knock out to me. Lindsay said "if you keep maintaining as you have, then each and every year will be just better and more beautiful. Yard Birds spring clean up this year released a wonderful world of beauty. Yard Birds is not the cheap trick in town......but the old saying is so true...."you get what you pay for." This is one class act landscaper! I live in Bentwater in Montgomery County. If you would like to see for yourself the professional work of Yard Birds, then please call Lindsay or Corey (the owner) and ask if they would call me for a walk thru. If you are looking for a great landscaper, upgrader of current landscapes, or just a company to take care of what you have.....I highly praise Yard Birds. You can reach Corey or Lindsay at (281) 577-9094. Just tell them Neal at Bentwater referred you and that you would like them to schedule a visit. They know me well.
Description of Work: A Spring Cleanup of all gardens. Complete review of the underground sprinkler system (previously installed by them). I had them cut a 3" clear circle around each sprinkler and added lifters for the pop-ups that were being crowded by the encroaching grass & growing plants (110 sprinklers in all) so that my lawn and plants would receive complete coverage without any blockage. Adjusted all sprinklers per my direction to provide full coverage. Placed 8 yards of black mulch (that's a lot more than it sounds like) to all of the gardens and fence climbing vines. Pruned all plants as needed, removed all weeds. Removed all debris.

The lady that does the landscaping design, I really like her. She was very approachable, friendly, and knowledgeable about what she is doing. She was very easy to talk to and she sits down and works with you about what the plan is.
Description of Work: I a maintenance contract with Yard Birds Inc. They also did some landscaping work for me. They did three large flower beds in the back, transplanted some of the plants that were in the front to the back, some tree rings and flower beds around the trees, and planted some plants.

They put down a different kind of sod this year and it's not held up well. We're not happy with it and we won't use them again. Their price was competitive.

[Member name removed], Not sure why the sod failed twice. Is it really heavy shade or high traffic? Is there irrigation there? If you would like for me to come out and take a look I would love to do it. If I can fix it for you I will do it at no cost. Trust me our goal is to improve your property and it doesn't sound like we were successful. I would like to see why and what's going on. Let me know if I can help, Thanks, Corey Krutilek 281-577-9094

Dale was my original contact with Yard Birds--a gentleman, and professional in every way. A pleasure to work with. Dale was on the scene all day, which was refreshing, and that gave me confidence that what the two of us had agreed on would actually be carried out without me having to oversee the men doing the work. The entire experience with Yard Birds was excellent. The men doing the work were pleasant and conscientious. There was nothing I would do differently. We picked the right company!

They really did a fantastic job all the way around. I had contacted them by email a month or so in advance of needing the work done. We traded several emails prior to the work being performed working out details like if aeration was right for us, the best time to do it, how to work all the neighbors into the same day, billing, and of course price. Corey was responsive every time. The work was done on a weekday while we were all away from the house. I returned home to inspect the job and was very pleased. They had gotten into every corner with the aeration machine. I thought they would skipped some of the tight areas but every square inch had been gone over. They even went right along my french drain system I had marked and staked the day before without damaging it. I watered the lawn yesterday and even though it was a day after a rainstorm my french drain was bone dry at the street level indicating much more of my water was going to my lawn and less if any to runoff. From start to finish, I was pleased with the work and I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Yard Birds recently landscaped my yard that had been torn up due to pool construction. They placed crushed granite on the side of my home, sodded most of the back yard and some of the front yard, repaired the sprinkler system, and created a beautiful tropical bed in the back yard. They worked hard to fit me in despite poor weather in the area. I'm very pleased with the results of my yard and they were a pleasure to work with, a class act. I will use them again with any other landscaping projects.

I was very happy with them. They were immediate upon my request for a bid. They were incredibly helpful, considerate and professional. They were all the things that we want to see and hear in a contractor. They responded to my concerns. They were timely in their communications in getting back to me. They did an excellent job on my landscaping. With regard to price, they were all relatively the same. I would absolutely use them again in the future.

The guys came out promptly and on time. They were knowledgeable and capable. However, I do not speak Spanish, so communication was difficult. My supply line was not correctly lined up and water sprayed from my back-flow valve. I thought it needed to be replaced. When setting up the appointment, I specified for this repair. The workers arrived and lined it up correctly and it worked fine. The worker still wanted to replace the valve. I tried to tell him it worked fine, but it was difficult to communicate this. Very frustrating stopping him from replacing the valve, since I assume he had been told the valve needed to be replaced by the office. Word of advice, make sure you can communicate with the worker sent to your home if you have any specific problems to discuss.

I am confused. Do you have the correct company? Why is this posting now from service performed over 1 year ago? I pulled the invoice and it does not have anything to do with the backflow. It was a simple tune-up of the system. We adjusted and replaced broken heads. Could this be about another company? Thanks, Corey
