 + -1 morePURCHASES AND ADVICE ARE PRIMARILY FOR FLOWERS AND SHRUBS. WIFE IS THE PRIMARY CUSTOMER BUT SHE AGREES WITH MY EVALUATIONS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM CARRY MORE VEGGIES, BUT THEY HAVE TO COMPETE WITH LOCAL LARGE MERCHANTS.
Description of Work: these folks are incredibly helpful.. I HAVE A HISTORY OF BEING A PLANT HOSPICE-I BRING THEM HOME TO DIE. GREENS AND THINGS HAS HELPED AND GUIDED US FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW, THEIR PRICES ARE VERY REASONABLE AND WE HEARTILY RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE.

 + 2 moreMowed low, scraped ground with a front-loader, hauled away the weedy mess, sprayed with Roundup, let that work for a week, sprayed with Roundup again, let it work, spread gypsum to help topsoil work into the clay base, re-sodded the entire yard with Floritam, repaired in-ground sprinkler heads that were damaged in the preparation of the yard. The job was delayed after the initial cleaning of the soil by the fact that the installer could not get high quality grass... he had to wait for the supplier to catch up with the demand. Understandable.
Description of Work: Replaced the grass in my front yard.

 + -1 moreDont know she never called me back with an estimate.
Description of Work: I called to get an estimate to have my front yard landscaped. I should have known her lack of professionalism when she answered the phone with "hello?" instead of the name of her business. She was punctual when she came out to my house. We went over what I wanted, she took notes, and then went outside and took pictures of my front yard. However that was the last time i heard from her. She told me she would "take pictures" of my front yard and get back with me the next day. She never did. Which is too bad because I would have given her my business since she was local.

Description of Work: Coordinating property visit was difficult and followup contacts for a quote were time-consumming. The quote was expensive and did not reflect the guidelines (purpose and scope) for consideration of what we wanted.

 + 2 moreJo Ann and her crew are terrific people. Very knowledgeable and friendly. A detailed bid was given and accepted. Work began as scheduled. I should point out that I also had a different company install an irrigation system. Jo Ann made all the arrangements for scheduling around her crew and the other company so that their separate jobs were done efficiently and on time. This of course, took a few days to complete and her crew always cleaned up the sidewalks at the end of each work day so there was never a mess around the house. I need to get a little more work done in other areas of my home and I will be contacting Jo Ann again when I am ready to do that.
Description of Work: Old sod was scraped up. Yard leveled. Old landscape removed, (rocks, timber, etc.). Treated yard for grub worms. Installed new landscape: brick edges, wood chips, LOTS of plants, Installed Floritam grass.

 + 0 moreI am not happy with the work. They came and they were much quicker than I thought they should have been. About 3 weeks later weeds started appearing around the edges which was the reason I called them to begin with. It seems like they didn't clear them out well because they started popping up around the edges. Most of the things they planted had died and after digging around I found that they just dug a hole and put plants in there, they hadn't filled the holes so there were air pockets around them. They didn't do a good job of the matting under the mulch and they just did a sloppy job. Now I am exactly back where I was. I do have a couple of hibiscus that survived. I though the price was okay at the beginning, but now I think it is horrible. The person planning it seemed to know about plants and everything but maybe it was just bad supervision or something. I went to the nursery several times to tell them what was happened and they gave me suggestions of what to try. They offered to come by, but never did.
Description of Work: Greens & Things Nursery & Landscape cleaned up the existing landscaping, mulched, planted, matted and pruned. One of the beds I had them completely redo and they trimmed rose bushes, etc.

 + 3 moreWork went very well, except that leveling was done in the front yard instead of the back; however, they have been gradually bringing in sandy loan and leveling the back. I learned that I should have requested that the leveling be done before the irrigation system was put in. Trees look great and the flower beds, front patio, butterfly garden are super! The flortam grows great. The only problem I've had with the yard was a result of the persistent rains we had last fall and the yard got fungus patches. Joann Vasquez has had her crew apply treatments to it and yards have looked great since early spring. They came and replaced a few plants that had frozen and did not come back. The raised bed has been a definite plus, as I am doing some vegetable gardening. Joann is usually very prompt in contacting me. Any delays that have occurred in the work they have done for me has been caused by weather issues. She and her staff have been very helpful with any questions I have. I have also stopped quite often at the nursery in Portland and picked up flowers and vegetables to plant. They have a good variety of plants, pots, and ornamental items.
Description of Work: Complete landscaping project. Replaced weed/grass lawn with flortam sod after irrigation system had been put in and additional sandy loam added to level yard. Three flower beds put in around front section of house. Stone patio added in front by porch. Butterfly garden added on front corner of yard. Raised bed, 4x8, put in back yard. 2-3 trees removed in back, 2 large live oak trees in front, not trimmed in about 25 years, were trimmed.

landscaping
 + -1 moreWe hired them to do some unusual things for us regarding a new home. After they graded the property, they installed for us some stone walk ways and also made some trenches that they filled with rocks to promote drainage and also help the flow of storm water. They used landscape cloth carefully for us and did a nice job. At any time when we asked for something to be done in a different way, they cheerfully did it, and did not try to talk us out of our idea, or try to talk us into accepting the way they had done it. For example, they laid out the planks of rock on top of the gravel, which was their understanding on how we wanted it. But as soon as we pointed out to them that we wanted the rock planks embedded in soil and then have gravel laid around it, they complied, cheerfully. This was a breath of fresh air from other contractors and they tried to please us and worked hard. They were in communication with us, and if there was weather, they called us anyway, just to check in. I would recommend them any time.
Description of Work: Move Stone Planks to the back of property and to staging areas for each side of house, back and rest to be left in front at edge of yard on left side front. Move all rock to back yard. Remove part of fence for equipment @ owners responsibility. (They said they would fix it if they did not do it right.) Level front and back yard Remove excess cement off property. Spread sandy loam, does not include price of sandy loam, will need 3 loads (approx.$285 to $325 per load). Left finished for Irrigation and Landscaping. Any additional work than stated on this estimate will be added to final bill. This work scope is approximately 3-4 days, weather permitted. Price does not include labor for landscaping. Any questions, please call JoAnn at 361-813-8702. Labor, additional work: Reinstalling fence and put it back up immediately after heavy equipment leaves the site. Installing edging rock on both sides of house. Installing edging rock on both sides of sidewalk Suggestion: I think we should put piping underneath rock on both sides of house for irrigation later. Date of work to begin: August 19 and will be there for the following 2 days until job is completed. Deposit will be required to schedule work done.
