Description of Work: |Gave an estimate, took a great deal of time making calculations. His price was three times for what I was able to have the project done. He sells his services as a landscape architect and I had the feeling a retaining wall was beneath his scope of work.

I have had similar work done in the past, by other companies, and have never felt that the quality of their work was equal to the amount of money I was charged. In this case with Blaney, I got more than my value for what I paid. In addition, Blaney was patient and took great care to listen to what my wife and I wanted. We are more than satisfied.

I found Blaney Stonework & Landscape on Angie's List and felt the reviews for this company far surpassed reviews for other companies. Forrest Blaney met with my husband and I in May to discuss our initial issue with drainage in the back yard. He had several recommendations regarding the gutters which we pursued and immediately executed with Dallas Gutters. We discussed the possibility of not only correcting the drainage issue but also doing hardscape around the pool, extension of the patio, a pad for the hot tub/spa and lastly completely redoing the landscape in the front and back yards. He gave us a list of finished projects to look at and we were very impressed with the work. About a week later he came back with a preliminary design and a phased approach to the project. We elected to have him do the entire job. It was a delight to watch the crew tear out all the old overgrown bushes and the old concrete walkways, including the one to the street. They were like bees around honey! Since nothing had been done to the yards in decades, the neighbors were also very interested in the beehive of activity. Forrest's crew was amazing; everyone knew his job and did it well. His stone masons did a fabulous job on all the stonework around the flower beds and fitting all the flagstone like a puzzle. Forrest was very hands on and was on site during the entire process, many times picking and placing the most interesting pieces of stone. The approach to our house and the front door landing is wonderful and so inviting; previously it just scared people away!! The back yard is now a haven to be enjoyed. We no longer had a pool full of grass after mowing since the entire surrounding area is now either hardscape or river rock. The plantings Forrest chose are beautiful, some annuals, some perennials, hardy trees, and boulders. Forrest has a network of specialists to reach out to for such things as stump grinding and concrete work. He also recommended an irrigation specialist whom we hired to install complete system (Bean Irrigation). We couldn't be happier with our new yards and have received many complements from our neighbors.

He had given me a quote and said if I used another material, it would be significantly less. A couple of weeks later, when I told him that maybe I was interested in getting the work done, he said he would figure it out and tell me about the cost and when he told me the cost, he said it wasn't any less. I told him that he said it would be significantly less, but he replied saying it was not. He changed his tune and that is why I never used him. His estimate was reasonable. It was around $14,000 to $16,000 for the retaining wall and around $15,000 for the fence. He was a nice guy, seemed honest, and I thought he would do a good job. I just did not like the fact that he changed; that was a little dishonest. I knew that the cost of the material for the retaining was cheaper than the original. He was great in every way and I was definitely going to go with him. He was extremely punctual and his follow up was fantastic; better than any other contractor that I have gotten quotes from. He was a great contractor and was reliable; I do not think people would have problems with him. I wouldn't use him because I found somebody that I really liked.

The workers came on the scheduled date. They were very professional. Suffice it to say that I'm very pleased... and so are my neighbors. The planters are exceptionally beautiful. They were built with a random pattern of stones of different thicknesses so they are completely unique.The four workers had about 70 years of masonry experience between them.
Description of Work: Construction of large kidney shaped stone planters in front yard.

We were having a complete landscaping project done and I asked our landscape architect (Dubberly Landscaping) for a good wall-builder. I specifically said I didn't want to come back in 15 years and see our wall sagging. They said there's only one person to use: Forrest Blaney and Blaney Stonework. Forrest and his crew were fast, professional, and skilled. They used the large highway-type stones and it is a solid, beautiful wall! I am so happy with his work we're using him on a custom patio and bench project at our office building.
Description of Work: Built a wall around front yard, filled in hill and made beautiful flat bed area. Extended pool deck to enhance and build seating areas.

The project, from start to finish, was handled with expertise, professionalism, quality and responsivness to the desires of the owner. Forrest's planning demonstrated an understanding of the plants and influences that would result in a pleasing environment. The stone masons were professional, courteous and creative. At the end of each workday, the jobsite was left clean and uncluttered, with materials stacked neatly for future use. The crew worked tirelessly with very few breaks. Forrest provided on-site, hands-on supervision throughout the project and he provided council and leadership in plant selection and purchase. The elements of the project were scheduled efficiently. Deliveries and installations were executed seamlessly. Forrest has exhibited interest in the ongoing well being of the new plants, offering to have his staff visit the site to hand-water where necessary. Our project had a time constraint. Everything was finished according to schedule. We look forward to working with Forrest to implement other elements of our master plan.

The work was done quickly and well. His crew is very nice. They make this look easy. We are very pleased with the work. We will be using him again in the future. See his website for examples of his work.
Description of Work: Forrest Blaney designed a new front landscape for my yard according to my input and preferences. He even had a binder with plant pictures for me to look through to decide what I liked and didn't like. He was very accommodating to my needs, changing the design several times. Once all was decided, his men came and ripped out the old landscape and installed the new plants & beds. I believe it took 2 days once started. We incorporated large rocks in the yard, which I wouldn't have thought of, but they look great -- I was able to go out and choose what I wanted with him. After it was finished he gave me suggestions for annuals, including color, amount needed, placement etc, for best impact. His specialty is stonework, and the work I have seen him do is gorgeous & and built to last. We are going to have him out to do our front porch next spring.
