Kingstowne Lawn & Landscape

Landscaping, Lawn and Yard Work, Pavers and Hardscaping,

About us

Kingstowne Lawn & Landscape was established by Krisjan Berzins and Phil Williams in 1997. Both graduated in 1993 from Mount Vernon High School in Alexandria, Virginia, and were members of the varsity football team when they began their friendship. Phil attended Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., where he studied sociology. Krisjan attended Randolph Macon College in Ashland, Virginia, where he studied international business. Krisjan’s experience working in grounds maintenance at the Mount Vernon Country Club and Phil’s discipline and strong business sense formed the foundation for an ideal partnership, and the two began working together in 1997. After only 10 years in business, they had grown Kingstowne Lawn & Landscape into one of the most recognized landscape brands in Northern Virginia—with annual gross revenues of more than $5 million. In early 2008, Krisjan purchased Phil’s share of the corporation and became sole owner of Kingstowne Lawn & Landscape. While he was disappointed to see Phil go, Krisjan knew that he was ready to write the next chapter of the Kingstowne story. Today, nearly 20 successful years of business, Krisjan and his wife, Mayra, head a strong company with over 50 employees, 25 trucks, and 13 acre corporate campus, inside the beltway, in Alexandria, Virginia. Their company’s success lies in the firm belief that every customer should be treated as the “only” customer!

Response from Kingstowne Lawn & Landscape
Good Afternoon, My name is Krisjan Berzins. I am President of Kingstowne Lawn & Landscape. I wanted to take a moment to reach out to you and discuss the Angie’s List review which you posted. Your scathing review gives us all F’s and states that you “tried to get service from us and that we never responded even though you called three times”. We take our customer reviews and satisfaction very seriously, therefore, I felt that it was important to discuss this with you. First of all…I would like to apologize for any difficulties in communication or confusion. We strive to make things as easy and convenient as possible. Upon seeing your review, I checked with our Senior Account Manager, Mike Perez, and asked him about your account. Fortunately, he kept meticulous notes of his communications with you. Please see the email chain below. Here is a brief summary of all communications: - 08/14/14 @ 4:31 pm - You called our office and spoke with Ann. You indicated that you had a property, that belonged to your deceased mother, that required some landscape cleanup services. You also indicated that you were intending to sell the property and wanted us to provide a quote for keeping it neat during that time period. - 08/18/14 – our Senior Account Manager, Mike Perez, stops by 9013 Mulvaney Court, Springfield, VA 22152. During his visit, he assessed the current condition, look necessary measurements as well as 9 photographs. - 08/19/14 @ 9:00 am – Mike Perez sent an email to you (see below) with 9 photographs of the property (which are attached). In that email, he also indicated that he would be sending you an electronic contract for the services requested. - 08/22/14 @ 10:28 am – Mike Perez sent you an email (see below) indicating that he had not heard back from you. The email included approximate pricing for the services you had requested, however, it also stated that we needed more information from you before we could send an official contract. As you can see, according to our records, the only correspondence we received from you was the initial phone call on August 14th. After that, we stopped by the property, took photos and measurements and sent you 2 emails, all at no charge to you, and yet we never heard back from you. The only way I can justify why you may have felt that we did not respond is if you never received our emails. Is that possible? If so…please provide us with your correct email address so that we can get you all of the pertinent information and, hopefully, get your mother’s property cleaned up as well. Thanks very much and we look forward to working with you soon! Very Sincerely, Krisjan Berzins | President & CEO

Dear Sir, I reviewed the notes on your account and I see that you had a few perennial flowers that didn't make it through the winter. That sort of thing is quite normal given the harsh winters we have in the DC area. Our 12 month plant guarantee covers all "woody plants". Unfortunately, because perennials can be quite temperamental, they are excluded from our plant guarantee. However, we normally offer to cover the labor on those plants provided the customer is willing to simply cover the cost of the new plant. Our guarantee is clearly written on our agreements. I feel that we did try and work with you by offering to cover to acquire, remove, dispose and install new plants for fee, provided you were willing to pay for the materials. I am sorry that you were disappointed with this solution but I feel that it was very fair for both parties and above and beyond our typical plant guarantee. Regretfully, Krisjan Berzins | President & CEO

Description of Work: I called on a Thursday and had to leave a message. I did receive a call back on Friday morning and Kingstown left a message. I called back within 5 minutes, but once again I had to leave a message. I called twice more, both times I had to leave a message. I don't think that they have anyone actually answer customer calls. Terrible customer service.

Dear Sir, I sincerely apologize for your poor experience. We pride ourselves on being available for our customers. So many companies these days rely on voice mail. Having a live person on the phone is a priority for us. However, it seems in this case, the volume of calls we were receiving was such that it prevented us from answering your call right away. Spring is our peak season, and things do get hectic from time to time. However, we really do try and limit instances like this. So, I am hopeful that you will give us another opportunity to prove that we do, in fact, provide great service. Sincerely, Krisjan Berzins | President & CEO

Description of Work: We purchased an Angie's List Big Deal to have a landscapiong review done, to include a drawing. The person who came to take a look at our yard was very nice and seemed knowledgeable. Unfortunately, the "drawing" we received contained very few details as to the work that was proposed, not even the types of plants recommended. The drawing was not to scale, was very rough/hand-drawn, and was nothing that we could use to envision what our yard would look like. I expected a more professional product. I also learned from friends after the fact that the "Big Deal" price is actually the industry standard for such services. We felt like we wasted our money on this one.

Response from Kingstowne Lawn & Landscape
Dear Sir, We are truly sorry that you were disappointed with your experience. It seems that there may have been some confusion as to what our "Big Deal" entailed. The description on the Big Deal stated that, for $75, you would get approximately 1 1/2 to 2 hours of time with our Designer, along with a "conceptual" sketch. The description also pointed out that the sketch would not be to scale. If you still have a copy of the Big Deal verbiage, you should be able to see that written there. As you can imagine, a full master plan, that is done to scale could take anywhere from 5 to 15 hours of design time. The retail price for a master plan, done to scale, is typically anywhere between $500 and $1500. Therefore, the purpose of the $75 "Big Deal" that we offered last year was to offer 2 hours of design consultation time and a quick sketch. Clearly, your expectations were more in line with that of a "master plan". If you would like to have us work up a master plan, I would be happy to apply the $75 that you have already paid to that project. If you're interested in doing that, just shoot us an email and we'll get something scheduled! Sincerely, Krisjan Berzins | President & CEO

Description of Work: The consultant took a good look at sites for a variety of projects we're considering, really listened to what I was thinking, and didn't jump in right away when I asked for suggestions, but rather gathered more information before responding. She put together a comprehensive and detailed package of estimates for doing each project separately and as a whole, along with a list of options. That input is being very valuable as my husband and I plan a variety of renovations and maintainance this year. We will choose this company to do the work.

I did not use this company.
Description of Work: I called the company to attempt to get an estimate for some light excavation and building a bluestone foundation for a shed. I was kept on hold by the call taker after every question while she went to get answers, and was told that I would be charged for the estimate, unless the estimator could come when he was in the area, and didn't have to meet with me for the estimate. I had already had 3 estimates from other companies without being charged, and spoke with the people who would be doing the work in each case.

Response from Kingstowne Lawn & Landscape
Dear Sir, thank you for taking the time to post your review, as customer feedback is very important to us. I am sorry that you feel this way. It seems there may have been some miscommunication during your phone call. I wanted to take a moment to explain our policy on "Landscape Consultations". First of all, yes, as you stated, there are landscape companies provide free "estimates". We also provide free estimates for maintenance work such as lawn mowing, lawn care, mulching...etc. However, landscape projects, such as the work you described, can be very subjective and therefore require review by an experienced Landscape Professional. We call this a "Landscape Consultation". We do charge a $50 fee for this meeting. It's a small fee that covers our time and fuel and it allows us to commit to an exact time and an exact date (for your convenience). Many of these "free estimates" that are provided by other contractors are done by unqualified individuals that may only give you an approximate meeting time. We pride ourselves on being knowledgeable, experienced, professional and punctual. We are also committed to providing our clients with an accurate, detailed proposal. Again, many of the "free estimates" are merely a verbal price or a very general price with very few details. I hope that I have clarified the difference between a "free estimate" and a "Landscape Consultation". I sincerely hope that you will reach out to us in the future and give us another try. We look forward to hearing from you!
