Response from Backyard's Plus Lawn Care & Landscaping
This is not my customer, I've never heard of this person, I didn't do any work for them, nor give them an estimate, 275.00 sounds pretty cheap for mulch and rock work something doesn't add up with this review? this review should be for some other company.

Description of Work: He told me he would show up and missed his appt. I drove 65 miles to meet him. Very disappointed. Later this afternoon he sends a note to reschedule. If this is the best you have then I'm in trouble. After looking at his reviews he appears to do this a a lot. The reason I'm on Angie list is because all prior to this one show up as scheduled. This is a company that should be removed from your list

Response from Backyard's Plus Lawn Care & Landscaping
Unfortunately your communication skills need some work, the message I sent you through the the angies list message center is as follows: with my phone number attached. Backyard's Plus Lawn Care & Landscaping7/1/2015 i can meet on July 2nd at 9 am, let me know if this works in your schedule. thanks Joe 281-900-3899 All you had to do is call, You never replied to my e mail conforming the meeting, when you don't reply I assume you didn't get the message so I didn't show up, I work very hard as a small business to take car of anyone who contacts me and keep an A rating, so to get a "D" from some one that didn't have the courtesy to call me to confirm the meeting is just a shame. The angieslist snap fix team should get an"F" for communication as well for not confirming the meeting with me. I did not get a confirmation from them either. If you want to schedule a meeting with a contractor on angies list DO NOT use the angies list messaging system it is terrible, please call or directly e mail the contractor, to have 2 parties log into a website and answer e mail is very cumbersome and twice as much work for something as simple as contacting someone.

Description of Work: Backyard Plus installed a new paver styled patio in our side yard, replacing a defunct would-be garden and old sidewalks to expand 1. The walkways from the driveway and 2. Livable space that we can place a patio set on instead of trying to keep a garden alive. Workers were outstanding in that they were skilled and willing to work with us on layout. They were here everyday at 8 am til 5 for the duration of the job. Joe was knowledgeable and helpful from estimate to completion. The new patio looks marvelous... and just in time to use it as the cooler temps hits.

From the very beginning what made Joe standout from the other firms we talked to was the fact he listened to what we wanted. We didn?t want a row of hedges and the typical low maintenance plants we see in so many of the older homes in our neighborhood. He spent quite a bit of time asking about how we liked to use the garden. While we didn?t feel up to the heavy work of clearing the old garden, moving the trees and borders and installing the rocks, we didn?t want a garden full of shrubs that didn?t leave us room to plant treasures we found as we roamed area nurseries. Joe took us to a local nursery and got our take on our likes and dislikes with respect to color, shape and texture. His crew then came out and prepared the beds, adding a rock border that not only defined the space, but also addressed a drainage issue we had. Once the beds were ready they placed a wide variety of plants in the garden but didn?t plant them. They allowed us a day or two to rearrange the plants to our tastes, then came back and planted them. They left room for us to add our own special touch. The final result is a beautiful garden that shows off the attributes of the house, not detracts from them. Our neighbors are amazed at the transformation. A yard once filled with overgrown and untamed plants and bushes is now a beautifully serene landscaped yard.
Description of Work: Joe and his crew turned a tired 40 year old garden into a fresh pallet of flowers, shrubs and trees in both our front and back yard. They had to move some small trees and redesign the flow of the flowerbeds to provide a more continuous flow of color and texture around the house.

I do not have any past experience with landscapers, but I would say that the job went very well. Joe was very accommodating, his crew was extremely diligent, everyone was polite and professional. After the work started, I requested that the patio area be expanded, which slightly increased the estimate, but Joe did not try to up-sell the original estimate. During the project, Joe installed a tree that I did not particularly like. When I told him my thoughts, he removed it and replaced it with a tree that I was comfortable with. No fuss. Since installation, there have been a few minor issues with the irrigation system. Joe has quickly responded to make the necessary adjustments. Overall, I am very pleased. I would be extremely comfortable with recommending Backyard's Plus to any of my friends and/or neighbors.
Description of Work: Removed two trees, removed concrete front walkway and concrete back patio and installed pavers for both, totally removed all grass from both front and back yards, installed sprinkler system in both front and back, brought in new topsoil, re-worked all existing flower beds, installed multiple new flower beds, and installed new sod in both front and back. Joe promptly responded to my request for an estimate. When he came out to provide the estimate, he quickly grasp what I wanted to do with the yard. He drew-up a plan and transferred it to a 3D model so that I could get a good idea of what it would look like. It also allowed us to make some changes to his original design. After we agreed on what I wanted, he and his crew came out a few days later and started the work. It took about a week for them to complete the entire project. Which I think is reasonable, considering all that I wanted done.

No follow-up at all even after I e-mailed. Joe did not live up to what he had told me and I would never consider using him again on anything. I went with another landscaping company highly rated by Angie's list and will be spending almost $30K with them. They are very professional and responsive. I will be rating that company upon completion but I am sure they will be getting an excellant review.
Description of Work: Joe met me at my new home to discuss what I was looking for in the way of landscaping and sprinkler system. He seemed nice enough and promised I would have something from him by the next Wednesday, I met him on Friday, as I told him I wanted to make a decision by the end of the following week. I followed up with an e-mail asking the status but he never bothered to respond. I am very diappointed as I feel my time was wasted taking off work to meet him. If he was not interested in doing the job, I would expect a e-mail of phone call telling me such. I had two other landscaping companys tell me they could not do the job and I am totally fine with that. I expect some type of communication.

Joe came to give estimate and his price beat 2 other estimates. He and his lead crew guy, Gus, worked with me to set the plants in specific spots to serve as privacy for our pool/backyard area. Eight wax leaf legustrums were planted to the back, and other eight to each side of the backyard. I realized after they got started that there would be a bare spot left to the back and Gus, lead crew guy, was very kind and accomodating and pulled up one of the side legustrums (that had already been planted/buried) and planted it in the bare spot in the back. The oleanders were planted following a line of existing oleanders and will serve their purpose of privacy to that side of the house. Joe was very pleasant, professional and easy to work with. I would definitely hire again for future work.
Description of Work: Had 16 wax leaf legustrums and 15 oleanders planted for privacy.

Joe exceeded my expectations. He was prompt, explained his solutions to our drainage problems clearly and thoroughly. He suggested a couple of landscaping ideas which we agreed to that dramatically improved the appearance of our back yard and pool area. His crew worked very hard and they were professional in every way. All of the work was completed on time and within the estimated cost. We plan to use Backyards Plus again. These guys were absolutely terrific and Joe is a pleasure to work with!
Description of Work: Cut patio/pool deck to install a channel drain system approximately 15 feet long. Replaced existing drain system, approximately 120 feet, and connected it to new channel drain. Built new retaining wall around one end of our pool and planted 10 plants in the wall to match existing landscaping. Installed 90 by 3 foot French drain to channel water from back yard and laid new sod in back yard.

From my first call to the final sprinkler setting, everything was done with professionalism and courtesy. The supervisor and the crew were prompt, efficient and neat. At the end of each day of the project, the work area was left clean and tidy. No mess to step over or blow around. The end result is dramatic and better than I could ever have imagined. I have worked with several landscapers over the years on much larger properties and never had such a terrific result. Joe, the owner and designer, has been on top of the project from beginning to end. He and his people are trustworthy and dependable.
Description of Work: Removed old fencing, removed old plantings and debris. Designed and installed new fencing, new landscape plantings, new flagstone patio, new irrigation system and new landscape lighting. Also repaired and installed new slate on walkway.

From the first call, Joey was very responsive to our needs. He came out and looked at what we wanted done to add hard landscaping to our back yard. He had suggestions on a more workmanlike way to do it. We agreed to the work and very soon he and his crew came out to do it. He added pavers around our raised vegetable beds and extended our patio. It looks great and provides more access to the backyard. It is 3 months later and it still looks great.

Description of Work: We had an area of dead grass in shaded area of front yard. The company owner, Joe, came out and gave verbal estimate of $300 to dig up dead grass, lay new sand/soil and new sod that is shade tolerant. Joe is very nice, personable, & seemed knowledgeable and honest in his assessment of our yard. I called after his visit and said we want to go ahead with the job. He then emailed me a new estimate of $370. I replied ok...let me know when you can put us on your schedule. Didn't hear from him for a few days; then received an email at 8:30 one morning saying they'd be there around 10. His team came & did the work and the new sod looks good. They were polite and cleaned up afterward. Joe stopped by and advised me how long and how often to water the new sod. It's only been 2 days...I am watering as Joe advised; but too early to tell if it will grow. The cost seemed reasonable to me; but I do not have anything to compare to since, of the four companies I called to do this job, only two responded at all and one of the others said no grass will grow in that shady spot so I did not get an estimate from them. I am hopeful that this new sod will grow as we did have grass there previously.

Backyards plus has been doing my yard now for over a year...they arrive every Thursday at the same time, and after they leave, my yard looks lovely....the crew is very respectful and easy to work with, and anytime I need something extra, they are more than happy to help. My landscaping was done in a very timely manner, I must say, I thought I had a lot of good ideas, but Joe was an expert in helping me -especially with my budget. He placed a lot of color,but also a lot of green that would make it through the winter months. The most important part, is that whenever I call, my call is returned promptly. Whenever I need them to fix my sprinkler system, it is taken care of, to where I do not have to wait. I will say, I have used a lot of yard/landscaping companies in my lifetime, and I would highly recommend Backyards professionalism to anyone. It is comforting to know that a company truly cares about their customers - and whenever I am out of town, I do not worry about my yard not being taken good care of. The whole crew is very knowledgable, respectful and prompt....dependable and very easy to communicate with. My yard has plenty of color and plenty of long lasting greenery. I have no don'ts about this company, and am extremely pleased with all their work.
Description of Work: I called the Backyards Plus, left a detailed message of what I was looking for regarding my yard, and additional landscaping. They returned my call shortly and we set up an appointment the next day. The owner of the company, Joe, arrived at my home at the exact scheduled time, called me ahead of time to say that he was on his way. We walked my corner lot, which has a lot of pine trees, and we discussed extending my beds. Joe has a lot of great ideas, and kept me under budget. We set up a time for his crew to mow, edge, and remove pine needles from my roof - and start on the beds.
