I found this provider from angies list on a Friday for complete sod and soil replacement. The provider promised to give estimate and stated that he is contracted sprinkler company for our subdivsion. I am very suprised by this confession. The sprinlker system has not worked for over 2 years causing various property having founIdation repairs. I called for excessive soil erosion and complete sod replacement. Provider asked me to call him back on Monday. When I called on Mondayt, provider shouted to me on the phone and stated that he is not getting involved with me and HOA issues. Broken sprinkler head was not replaced and HOA stated contractor has no way to report progress and give resident any committed time.

Response from Mother Nature Lawn & Landscape
I was hired by the neighborhood’s HOA to fix a neighborhood sprinkler system that had not worked in over 10 years. I first had to fix the community areas before moving on to individual homeowners. The member called me and asked that I come fix her system and install new sod while I was still in the process of doing the community areas. When I told her I was the hired contractor for her HOA, she mentioned she was planning to sue the HOA who had just hired me. Now, the HOA provides the sprinkler systems for her house, yet she wanted me to put in new sod as well, then give the full bill (sprinkler and sod) to her HOA. I told her I could not take the job as this represented a clear conflict of interest and because I felt very uncomfortable essentially helping her sue an organization that had recently hired me. This review is not reflective of anything to do with my business or my services. She's simply not happy with her HOA. I never gave her a price and never came out to her home. It’s disappointing that she is upset, but what she was asking me to do was neither ethical or right in any sense. On a side note, I was eventually able to fix the broken sprinkler system for the whole neighborhood. If you would like yours fixed, give me a call and I’ll be happy to help.

Did more than expected. Professional and honest without exception.
Description of Work: Performed work for my neighbor and used a small part of our vacant lot with our permission for a staging area. In addition to cleaning the area used, Michael had his crew mow our entire lot on two occasions. The lot never looked better.

It's quality. He's extremely honest. He does good quality work.
Description of Work: I used Mother Nature Landscaping. They put in a lot of plants. They put in extension on my patio.
I can't say enough good things about Michael Wescoat and Mother Nature Lawn & Landscape. My wife and I had made the decision to wait a few years before installing rain gutters at our house, which turned out to be a mistake. Over several years, the rainfall from the side of the house washed away a lot of soil. On the other side of the house, we had a little bit of erosion but we also had issues with standing water and getting grass to grow. In the back yard, we had some similar issues - washed away soil and we were in need of grass. We've since moved out of town and are fixing up our house to sell. Michael has been very easy to work with, and easy to get in touch with by phone, despite our distance. Michael came out to our house to meet me in person and look at the situation. He offered me his advice on what to do to fix these issues and the best way to go about it. He presented me with options for each problem, pros and cons (seed vs. sod, for instance), and explained why he recommended what he did in a way I could understand. He also gave me some advise on some unrelated issues at our property that we were having looked at my another contractor. I don't want to remark about another company in this review about Mother Nature, but I can tell you that Michael's advice and actions have earned my trust. I can tell he knows what he's talking about and that he's going to be honest with his advice and opinions on what's needed to get the job done. Mother Nature was able to get to the work sooner than I expected and the result is fantastic. They did the job quickly and my wife and I are very pleased. I wish I could give an A+, because we are that happy.
Description of Work: Dirt fill / re-grading eroded soil on one side of house (from rain washout over 8 years), tilled soil on other side of house. Laid sod on both sides of house and in back yard. Laid mulch in flower/shrub bed.

It was on time. It was around $6000. They were good. He called back several times and asked me if I have further questions. He answered his phone when I called him to ask him if I add stuff to it or if I clarify something. He was very professional. They did an honest work. They had good ideas. They're creative and they have a lot of experience.
Description of Work: I didn't use them but I did get a quote from them. They were going to replace the grass and build a small rock deck and a little herb garden.
Michael, the owner was extremely responsive in every way. The day I called him to get an estimate, he came by the house within an hour. I have my front and back yard professionally landscaped but it was in need of a good cleaning out of weeds, some brush trimming and new mulch. I asked Michael about his crew because I'd read about another landscaper on Angie's List that had been rude to the customer. Having injured my back, that was the last thing I wanted to deal with. Michael assured me that he had worked with his crew for a while and that would not be a problem. Any employee that had exhibited rudeness to customers in the past had been asked to leave. There was an area of the yard where some pink skullcap had died and Michael got on the phone to see if he could get some replacement plants. He walked all over the front and back and gave me what I thought was a very reasonable price to do what I thought would be a large job. He also agreed to check out my sprinkler system (he does sprinklers as well) to be included in the price. I agreed to the price and Michael said he would call me within 2 weeks in order to finish up some other jobs but asked if I was willing to let his crew begin earlier if they could. I agreed and within about a week, the crew showed up on a Saturday morning and completed the job expertly and quickly. I couldn't believe what a difference they made in my garden-it looked even better than when I first had the landscaping done several years ago. The sprinklers were checked for pressure, direction of spray and function as well. The crew was very pleasant and answered all my questions. A few days passed and I noticed a few spots where it looked like the crew had overlooked taking out some clusters of small weeds. I called Michael and he said that should not have happened and that he wanted to ensure my 100% satisfaction. He sent two men out within 45 min. to pull out the small weeds I had spotted and they went over the whole yard again to check for any other weeds. What service! I called Michael to thank him for a superlative job and he was very appreciative. I definitely recommend this company and will use them again.

After getting several bids and being stood up on more than one occasion, Mike and his site supervisor, Lee, came out and gave a prompt estimate (on a Tuesday afternoon). They were at my house first thing the following Monday (would have likely been sooner had I not waited until Saturday to accept the bid). The project lasted a day and a half. We had one hiccup and Mike was quick to find an acceptable compromise and his team got the project accomplished very quickly and EXACTLY how I wanted it; perfect, in fact. His workers were professional and very courteous to my wife (which is important) and me. I will definitely be hiring this company again for future projects!
Description of Work: Rebuilt all planter beds in back yard and two in the front; removed existing mulch, de-weeded, installed fabric, installed metal boarders and laid new mulch. They also laid sod in a few areas and removed some dead tree limbs.

My mother 88 yr old has arthritis and has a hard time doing the gardening work she has loved all her life. Now with the heavy landscaping done she can enjoy her gardening without having to do the heavy work. Specifically the gardeners show up and ask my mother what work she needs done that day, repot a plant, move a heavy pot, trim a tree, etc. All that she asks for gets done for her. The men are respectful and kind to her. In particular the wide edging along her sidewalk was a lot of work; but they did as she asked. Thank you Mother Nature Lawn Service for making my moms golden years more enjoyable. The weekly service is very reasonably priced.
Description of Work: Landscaped my moms yard. Cleared out all the weeds and invasive plants. Gave my elderly mother a manageable yard! She loves it!

In addition, Michael recommended Mario Robles to build a beautiful flagstone patio in place where a deck once stood. He also recommended Rojo's Professional Tree Service to trim, remove, and treat for ball moss over 60 mature oaks, and remove multiple cedar and mesquite from 16 acres my wife and I recently purchased on which we plan to build new home and horse stables next year. Without a doubt Michael Wescoat and Mario Robles will be handling that work, too.
Description of Work: Michael Wescoat and crew removed dead lawn, added topsoil, trimmed trees and shrubbery, installed eight zone sprinkler system, and planted new lawn. The price was reasonable, their work top notch, and they completed the project quickly. I am fully satisfied!

Michael Wescoat handled our project himself. He responded quickly to my initial phone message requesting an estimate, and had a written, detailed estimate of the job the next day. We agreed on a price, and he and his crew started right away. Throughout the process, the crew was professional and able to answer questions about the progress of the work. Mr. Wescoat worked on the grounds throughout the project, and closely supervised at other times, and gave my wife and me timely updates on each phase. On the several occasions that we had questions or scheduling input about our availability, our calls were either answered or returned right away. The entire project was completed in 11 work days, as scheduled. Every part of the project was completed as agreed upon, and Mr. Wescoat gave knowledgeable advice sprinkler usage and lawn start-up care and maintenance. We are very pleased with the result; We found Mother Nature Lawn & Landscape through Angie's List, and the results confirmed our decision!

Mike was easy to work with and answered all my questions about the work I contracted to do and also some other things that I might want done in the future. He and his crew were prompt and did a very good job. Some of the work was delayed because of bad weather which is understandable and fine with me. I would certainly call him again for other work that I might want done.

Mr. Wescoat responded promptly to our request within 24 hours. He gave us an oral quote to remove the dead grass, replace with new sod, and update/add to the sprinkler system. We thought about the quote for a day. Price appeared fair. We made the deal and the quote was written up and signed. Work began exactly on time as agreed to by Mr. Wescoad and us. In fact, Mr. Wescoat asked if he could start earlier due to extra sod available. we agreed. His crew is very professional, knowledgeable, and very hard working, especially in this heat. The sod was planted during the week of August 25th. 2 new sprinkler heads were added and the system was checked. Everything looked in order. His company even sodded a marginal area not on the contract because Lee, his lawn expert, felt it definitely needed it. Mr. Wescoat pointed this out and indicated since it was not on the contract, he would not charge us anything for it. The area took about a half a pallet of St. Augustine!!!! When we ran the sprinkler system on our designated day (Wednesday), several heads were partially blocked by the sod or were not working property. When I called to fix the situation, Mr Wescoat and his crew were on site within 3 hours. The concerns were addressed in about 15 minutes!!!!!! Great response and great service. Fair prices and excellent service is an accurate description for this company.
Description of Work: We asked Earth Systems/Mother Nature to quote a price to replace about 60% of our yard with new St. Augustine sod and to update/improve our sprinkler systems where needed. Grubs had severely damaged our lawn earlier this year.

Extremely pleased with how everything turned out. Added new mounds, updated the sprinkler system, added new plants to include large Crape Myrtle Trees. Tom's design included looking at angles we didn't think about which resulted in an outstanding low maintenance landscape that looks great from all angles. They are putting together new proposals for additional work and I can't wait to start those projects.
Description of Work: Landscaped the center island between the new circular driveway and added a new walkway to the front entrance. Modified the existing sprinkler system for the new landscape as well as did a complete system service (17 zones).

Work was very professional. Started one day and finished the next. very pleased with work.
Description of Work: Cleaned up atrium, layed flagstone in decomposed granite. Hauled off trash and disposed of same.
The initial work done by TLS in 2008 was excellent; however, they did start planting later than we expected which subjected more plants to frost damage. They promise to replace plants that die within a year; however, they did not follow through with this guarantee when we told them we had lost some plants after the winter. The drip irrigation system has not worked properly since the first year it was installed, and despite several visits back to repair it and telling us it was fixed, it still does not function correctly. It leaks, and some areas do not come on at all. We have lost several plants because of this failure. Recently we called TLS to do spring maintenance for our lighting system (which has had a panel that changes the time on itself randomly, and TLS has never gotten that fixed either), repair our sprinkler system which is now not working at all, and clean our stream filter. A backflow valve they installed last year after the freeze has been leaking badly. Despite the call and two subsequent emails over the past 2 weeks, we have not received a callback for an appointment. In our last attempt to contact them, we asked for at least a referral for a company that could do the work on our rather complex and extensive landscape and lighting system. Again, we received no return call or email. Either this company has taken on too much new business to service their previous customers, or they have just gone downhill. Service AFTER the sale is the hallmark of customer service, and TLS has missed that mark entirely.
Description of Work: Adjustments and repairs to irrigation system and lighting, cleaning filter for water feature on this visit. Installed entire drip irrigation and sprinkler system, lighting and water feature four years ago.
