Jim and crew did a phenomenal job with our yard. The job was forecast to be a day and a half, but the crew finished in a single day. They were able to accommodate a last minute addition of plants and special requests during the job without a hitch. The work quality was excellent, the crew was accommodating, and we couldn't be more pleased with the work - thanks Jim!

A few glitches with the pond losing water, but Jim did not hesitate at all to take care of the problem.
Description of Work: I contacted Jim several months ago for a few projects, but only used his services for one - reworking my stream and pond. He was actually able to start the project a few days before the date we initially agreed on. His team arrived on time and got right to work, finishing the job within about 8 hours. Unfortunately, the pond was losing water and I had to call him back. After two trips back, he was able to determine the cause of the leak and fixed it. He and his entire team were always pleasant and professional. I do have another project that I have already spoken to him about; so yes, I would definitely hire Down to Earth Landscaping again.

Jim was extremely responsive to our request for a quote. He came to our home the next business day and was on time and professional. The quote from Down to Earth Landscaping was very competitive and they were able to complete the work within a few days of us accepting the offer. Jim's team was friendly and efficient and we were very pleased with the end result. We will definitely use Jim and his company again.
Description of Work: We had sod laid in our backyard, bushes/trees trimmed, flower beds mulched and a section of the backyard done with river rock.

The exceptional work done by Down to Earth Landscaping was accomplished over two separate projects. Both projects were remarkable from the beginning. Jim met with me and actually listened (other contractors had a very bad habit of "talking over" me, which accomplished nothing). He is extremely knowledgeable in all areas of hardscape/landscape and easily guided me with excellent suggestions when I didn't know what I wanted. Each member of the team was always professional, thorough, and detail-oriented (even more particular than me). I am absolutely thrilled with the work done. My next outdoor project is just a couple months away--Jim will be the only one that I call to do the job. No other company can match Jim and the crew with Down to Earth Landscaping!

He suggested to use playground mulch and build a fence to close off. Our dog can run around freely while we are at work. The day after the installation, we had very heavy rain. the mulch stayed within the fenced area - just like Jim told us. He knows his job and his crew are very professional and caring. Looks very nice, too. We decided to work with him to xeriscape our new home after this job.
Description of Work: I found Jim from my trusting coworker. I asked him to build a dog run outside the house we moved in.

I explained to Jim what we wanted done and he gave me a list of the plants he suggested, a detailed list of the services, and the final price. He said that if I wanted different plants to let him know but all were good choices for our xeriscaped yard. Jim and his men showed up on time and finished everything in about 1-1/2 days. They were polite and hardworking. I asked them to do a couple of extra things with planters that are difficult for me to do by myself and they graciously helped me out. They cleaned up everything and we are absolutely delighted with our yard. I recommend them highly.
Description of Work: We needed a landscaping job that was begun several years ago and never finished. Both front and back yards: Mulch, river rocks, plants removed and added. We also wanted to have our drip system checked and trees trimmed.

Fantastic!! Jim runs a good show and does what he promises. In this day where you cannot find a contractor that is worth a hoot, Down to Earth Landscaping is a company that delivers on the job they are contracted to perform by getting everything right the first time! Jim and his crew are extremely professional, and they all have a great attitude in making sure the customer is happy. Jim goes out of his way to answer all of your landscaping questions, and he does an outstanding job in explaining what plant choices are best for the task at hand. Will definitely hire again!!
Description of Work: Landscaped two flower beds in the front of my house, removed dead grass from front lawn, removed weeds and dead grass from side lawn, evened out front and side lawns with top soil, put down new sod on front and side lawn, watered in new lawn and plants.

Description of Work: Our yard was in desperate need of cleaning up including leaf removal, bushes and small trees cut back and ground cover maintenance. Everything needed a major haircut. They removed one small tree in one of the flower beds.

This is the 2nd time we've called James for this sort of work, we had him do a similar cleanup last winter and were pleased with the results so we called again. He and his team showed up as scheduled and worked hard to complete a big job in a day. We'll likely be calling him again for our winter cleanup, if not before.
Description of Work: Overall landscaping "tune-up" cutting back large perennials, clearing out some invasive plants and others that are just not to our liking, planting replacements where appropriate, trimming a tree back to the fenceline, removing a medium-sized tree near the house, cutting back a screen of bamboo along a fenceline by around 18" deep, re-mulching large planting beds and treating and composting the turf grass. Full clean-up and haul away on completion.

He had been "screwed over" by another contractor who left a big, muddy mess in our backyard. Down to Earth Landscaping was very apologetic and vowed to make it right. They did that and then some. I'm very pleased and happy with the result. I would hire them again and will refer them to family and friends.

Overall Jim and his crew did a great job. Jim was always available to answer my calls, provided my wife and I with good options for mulch and crushed granite, and was easy to work with. Jim and his crew were always on time, and left the work area clean when they finished. Thanks for a job well done- highly recommend.

Final result was FABULOUS!!! Jim and his crew were amazing! Jim was very responsive...he called me back within a day of me leaving a message when I first called for a quote. From that point on, every time I texted him with a question, he would text me right back. He and his crew were punctual and very professional and courteous. Our front yard was very unattractive...it is a new construction house so the builder just threw some plain plants into the flower bed. We had no curb appeal! I told Jim what I liked and he came up with a beautiful plan and it exceeded what I had envisioned in my mind! Thank you so much Jim for making our yard look amazing!!!! I keep going outside and looking at it with a huge smile on my face!!!!

Very well. Initial start date had inadvertently been scheduled on a holiday, so several of the workers called in. The contractor called me promptly and we made it for the following day. They showed up bright and early to start the project and worked diligently thru completion. Workers ere professional and polite.

We are extremely pleased with the results.
Description of Work: We reworked part of our large back yard. This included removing a large tree, smaller trees, brush and adding several beds, a flagstone patio, sidewalk and fire pit with built in benches. Goldfish pond was reworked and made usable and beautiful again. We had an idea of what we wanted when we called Jim for an estimate. He gave us ideas of what would work and completed the work in an efficient and timely manner. His crew was very hard working and put in long days. Jim was on site everyday, either checking on the status of the project or working alongside his crew.
