-Trench outer bed edge -Dig up old shrub roots, chickweed roots and grass clumps -Rake area smooth, removing rocks and debris -Spread fresh VA fine mulch -Rake lawn area of tree leaves. We have used Mr. Bill Sullivan several times now for cleanup on our home property. He would come over to assess and quote the job-site. Upon agreement he would schedule the job. Outside of face-to-face interactions, communication was through emails (response times were prompt). He is courteous, prompt, reliable, & understanding. If problems came up (e.g., bad weather) he was upfront about it and provided alternatives (usually next day scheduling.) (totally understandable by us!) He tolerated my many questions about landscaping, and provided various pricing options (e..g, material, urgent vs. can-wait tasks) to meet our budget. That, I greatly appreciated!
Description of Work: Trench, clean, and mulch satellite bed (most recently). Prior work was cleanup of brush & large/tall weeds around back and side yards.

I had called a few different providers. When they came out to do the estimate, they were professional and responsive. They had the best price. They were great. Everything was wonderful. I didn’t need to be at home for it. They were on time.

I have NO recollection of [member name removed] or her home on [member address removed]. I just re-checked my estimate records and have NO record of her in my files. But, if she would like to call me at 571.213.9567, I would be glad to visit her to provide a free estimate. Bill Sullivan, Sullivan's Landscaping, Inc.

Response from Sullivan's Landscaping Inc
My original estimate for the work at Ms. (member name removed)'s was $825. When she asked if I could make this more affordable, i did, reducing my labor cost to $600. AND, my charge for the new plants was $197, nearly $23 under my estimate for the plants. I addition, she had asked us to demolish and remove a Rubbermaid shed in her patio. We did BOTH for only $40.
He did a very good job and came out and gave a detailed estimate with links of shrubs and flowers he suggested. We thought the price was high for our pockets. However, to be completely fair, out of everyone we met, he definitely has an understanding and a great appreciate and dedication to his job. The work was done over a year ago and to this day, we are happy with everything. we know he is well worth what he charges. We disagreed on one aspect of the estimate and he felt uncomfortable proceeding with us. He mailed us a check shortly thereafter, in the amount we disagreed on. We appreciated that and appreciate his work.

Description of Work: Bill Sullivan initially was very helpful, choosing a selection of plants that fulfilled my vision of a small, colorful, free-form garden. However, time has revealed that the plants were placed too close to a structure. He overbought the number of plants that he needed for the garden. Instead of removing them, he left them without my input, saying i could use them for houseplants. Furthermore, the dirt that was removed in order to prepare the land for the plantings was left in my yard in a number of large, heavy plastic bags.

It is rare, indeed, to find a professional in the landscaping business who cares about his work product and his clients as much as Sullivan Landscaping does! From start to finish, the project was on time, complete and extraordinary in appearance. The service provider's judgment on types of plants, placement of plants and location of plants was spot on each and every time - resulting in not only an incredibly beautiful front and back yard, but also an oasis of beauty to enjoy in both locations! Further, the service provider would come out on a weekend to be sure that the newly laid sod was sufficiently watered to prevent loss of sod or newly planted flowers/bushes in the bedding areas. Found this service provider and team to be very professional, extremely knowledgeable about his craft and the plants he chose, prompt, polite, caring about what he and his wonderful team provided to us and never failed to complete a job to our complete satisfaction. I would, without fail, recommend this company and the whole incredible team to anyone seeking to have a lawn installed or maintained, a bedding area created or anything that falls under the auspices of landscaping!!! Exceptional company and we appreciate very much everything Sullivan Landscaping (and the whole team) did for us!
Description of Work: This service provider removed old grass, debris and weeds (due to our fencing situation, this had to all be done by hand!), installed sod in both front and back yard, renovated a tired looking and ugly flower bed in the front yard to look magnificent, cut out some areas for more flowers in the corners of the front yard, rejuvenated what had to be the world's ugliest back yard by laying a full back yard of sod, creating 7 flowering beds, an area to put a trash can, laid a stepping stone path from the gate to the storage shed, buried black water runoff tubes and installed pea gravel in areas that needed drainage assistance, put in a trellis plant to help disguise the trash can area and laid mulch in the path area and along the side of the house where we did not want sod or rocks.
Overall it has been great working with them. They did a fabulous job.
Description of Work: I have used them for landscaping four times a year. They removed the front hedge, uprooted stumps. They reset the lines of brick edging and added some sod. They aerated the front lawn. In addition, in the front, side, back and lower back yard they weeded, mulched and plant. In the lower back yard, they continued a flag stone path all the way to the grotto area of the garden where we have a pond. They did a lot of planting and mulching.

Well... DON'T call Custom Landscape Creations!!! They are dishonest and pathological liars. I personally dealt with Shawn Ryls (Richard's son???) who needed money up front to start, won't pay his employees, overstates what he will do and when he will do it, immediately cashs your check and then ... after dozens of phone call follow-ups, pleads for more money because he's broke. What an a******. I certainly hope they go to jail because they are thieves of the first order. Imagine the worst, which I experienced, then dream of the OPPOSITE. DO start with Angie's List and find a smart, friendly, professional horticulturist with a warm, friendly, talented crew of professionals who returns your calls, schedules appointments, KEEPS them [almost unheard of today!], shows up on time, works in nearly 100 degree heat, caringly moving existing plants and adding additional plants, hauling dirt and stones, cleaning up after themselves. Unbelievable!! Punctual. Professional. Perfection!!! There aren't enough superlatives to describe Sullivan's!!!
Description of Work: Mr. Sullivan and crew landscaped my side yard which is sloped and very shady. They finished a job "started" and PAID FOR by Angie's WORST LANDSCAPER, Custom Landscape Creations [per you latest magazine and my horrible experience]. Mr. Sullivan's and his crew are professionals with an obvious love of plants and gardening. Their attention to detail is unsurpassed. I love my yard and I will recommend Sullivan's again and again!! P.S. Mr. Sullivan even used a photo I took of the finished project on his website! Take a look. It's fantastic!!

He was very nice and punctual. The estimate was given via email, and it was in a format that was easy for us to read. Their estimated price was $3000. We are still talking about the price; we think it is kind of high, but we are really not sure and are looking to get a second opinion. We would consider using them in the future.

Good impression with initial contact by phone and set up an appointment for review of scope of work; came on time to appointment and continued good impression and good rapport initially, but as we walked the grounds, Mr. Sullivan seemed to be less and less interested in the work needed and more interested in getting to his next appointment. He promised to email me a quote with recommendations for the yard, but I never heard from him.

Response from Sullivan's Landscaping Inc
My goal is to be honest with my customers. When meeting with the member, I repeatedly told her I did not think her property needed any landscaping because she had a "woodland" landscape filled with many different plants. I was trying to save her money and exclude doing any unnecessary work. - Bill Sullivan, Sullivan's Landscaping, Inc.

They came in and did magic. It was extremely hot and they worked long and hard. They have a crew of a couple employees that worked very well together. He even went above and beyond what we asked, and we couldn't be happier with them.
Description of Work: They completely transformed our front, side, and back yards of our house which had been neglected for 25 years.
