Your Landscape Partner

All work done is usually done very well. During the first visit we went over all the items that needed attention and what was going to be done. Then throughout the year the team came out and performed all work. Sometimes it feels like email responsiveness could be a bit better but that's very minor.

YLP does an excellent job with the full service yard maintenance package. Their workers are all well trained, work hard, and complete the work in a timely manner. They are also always polite and friendly.

YLP's guys did an excellent job. They removed the lose pave stones, cleaned them and the surface beneath, and reinstalled them with concrete. It was a very large job involving many pave stones and steps. The work was done quickly and well.

He was a nice man and he was professional. However, it was a waste of money to have someone come out to give me an estimate and ideas, when other landscapers will do this for free in the hopes that you will hire them. He was the first landscaper who came out and when I contacted other reputable landscapers their ideas were less expensive and there was no charge to come out. If I had known that this is done for free, I would not have spent $49 for this.

I thought that I was going to get more than I actually received. They were also supposed to follow up with me and never did.

Wow....very impressive and a great value. Alexandra and Frank were a real pleasure to work with and provided tremendous value and service. I had neglected my yard for a couple of years and it was a real disaster. Alexandra worked with me to ensure a very reasonable deal was struck and Frank proceeded to masterfully restore my yard. He diagnosed and treated for slugs and weeds, thatched, aerated composted, and seeded. Within a month it was better than new. I cannot overstate how thankful and impressed I am with their service and professionalism!

On sale, I purchased a reduced aerating and seeding, knowing that whoever did it would probably recommend additional work. I also knew that the yard needed it, having just basic maintance done on it for over five years. They didn't disappoint, making the recommendation to thatch & overseed the bare spots. They also recommended to add soil on top and straw. When I saw the price for all those items, I called them and I pulled out the soil and straw, telling them I'd do that myself. Without any hesitation, they agreed and we set a date, 10/18, for them to do it. This is important & why I gave them an "A". Without negotiation, the price grade would have dropped to at best "B" as the prices are high to me. But note I do most of my yard work with my sons, so most prices are high. Starting the night prior and into the morning, we got rain. As soon as they opened, they emailed me (communication choice for me) and moved the date to Friday, unless I declined. That Friday morning, they showed up, did all the work, and then did a very good job of cleaning up. They even blew out some leaves from my garage! If the grass they just planted does well, I'll go back to them again. Also, check websites for discounts. They really help and this company showed me no difference for using them.

About the actual plan not what I really wanted. When it did actually arrive (and to be fair I was the one who missed that appointment-my fault not theirs) it was not what I thought I had asked for. Nice people though. Not unhappy with their service just not happy either.

The provider returned a month later, with a plan for putting slate steps in front, pulling the bushes I did not like & adding some azaleas in the front. He had no landscape plan the back or side yards. He really did not provide a landscape plan at all!! He gave me an estimate to have his company put in new steps & add a few bushes in the front, trim & add bushes. I was very disappointed! I have had good experiences with other Angie's List purchases but this was a rip off. I have seen plans done by Betty's Azalea for my friends that are real plans & not an estimate.

We purchased the landscape plan for $49 in hopes of getting some ideas for our back yard, a large empty rectangle surrounded with chain link fence. I want some way to soften the edges and make the space seem more connected to the house, deck, and patio. I looked forward to the insights of an artist; something on paper that could be divided into easily-accomplished mini projects. I had no start date in mind, and no thoughts about who would do the work or how much of it could be diy. Everything we eventually do will have to be on the cheap, since my husband is retired and I am disabled. We live in a 40-year-old tract house in a moderate-income neighborhood, so anything grandiose makes no sense at all. I purchased a PLAN. That?s all, just a plan. I tell you all this so you will understand the comments that follow. I?m sure this company does fine work and the owners and employees are really good people. I just don?t feel like I got what I hoped for or paid for. Frank came out for a look-around one day earlier this year. His first question was, when do we want to start the work? This kind of blindsided me, since as I mentioned, timeline would be determined by the plan he would develop, not the other way around. How about a fountain? Maybe a gazebo? Have we been to their website to see examples of their work? It was a sales pitch right down the line. He took some pictures and measurements both front and back, and the meeting concluded. A couple of weeks later Frank came back to present what he had come up with. He brought some pretty pictures of some pretty flower gardens and features, nothing coherent, and nothing practical for our situation. By this point, the ?plan? idea was dead. We sat and talked a while about what he still might be able to sell us. We decided to consider two rows of trees that would grow into privacy screens on either side of the yard for three thousand dollars. We would talk again if we decided to move forward. We have been in contact few times since then. At one point we did commit to the trees, but a supply problem arose and they returned our deposit. The project has been tabled indefinitely. Frank, if you?re reading this, I?m sorry. I?m sure you?re a great guy, but we just never got onto the same page.

Very prompt, very professional, but did not see the value in spending $50 for a series of estimates that most companies provide for free. A minimal, hand drawn sketch was the only item added to a typical estimate. Paying for the estimate was not worth the money, but the people are passionate, responsive and their estimates are within reason. We are still considering hiring them for some projects.

We used them through a deal on Angie's List. It was fine. We haven't moved forward with any of it yet. She was nice enough; we would be willing to visit her again. She was very personable and easy to get along with.

On the first visit they did an excellent job identifying a solution for a problem area in the yard, which we asked them to focus on. We discussed options, agreed on what was needed, and they worked up a detailed plan with several printouts and multiple views, including all specifications. When the plan was complete, they re-visited the site to discuss and explain the plan. There was no pressure to purchase anything. A great experience!

Good presentation and will provide us with a spreadsheet of all the individual costs so that we can decide which pieces (if any) we would hire them to complete for us. Well worth the $49 special to get such a great plan/vision to work towards in our yard.

So far, it’s been a positive experience. It’s been easy to schedule with them, but we recently got a snow storm so the work has been delayed. They have been very forthright with everything.

When we moved into our home, it had been empty for quite some time. The landscaping was dead, overgrown and a mess. We had Alexandra from Your Landscape Partner come out and recommend what needed to be done, and to plan each step of how we would get to where we wanted. YLP came out and removed all of the dead and overgrown bushes, cleaned out the debris and in addition cleaned out a number of old branches collected in the backyard, which had not been part of the deal, for free (it was much appreciated). We then met Alexandra to plan the new landscaping but when she found out that we were also planning on new windows and siding, she recommended waiting until next season to do this to make the remodeling job easier. This was done even though she knew it would postpone her revenue. We have also had YLP come out for weekly mowing and this is always done professionally, on time, done well and with no intrusion. We highly recommend Your Landscape Partner.

Alexandra, the landscaper, is dynamite! I had a poor landscaping job done previously. They laid sod directly on clay and it was a mess. Alexandra was able to fix everything! They filled the patches that weren’t rolled originally and we have done a couple of seasons with top dressing. They have built soil under my grass and it has taken Your Landscape Partner a couple of years to turn it around, but it is just wonderful now! I always have people and neighbors asking me who does my lawn. My lawn is the first to green in the neighborhood. The guys who cut the lawn do it perfectly. They are truly a full service landscaper and great people. They always leave the place spotless when they are done for the day.

I like that they are a small company. They are extremely responsive when answering questions. Alexandra is very polite and easy to work with. Their prices are reasonable. They seem to really care about their customers and understand your needs. They do a good job and are dependable. The workers seem to stay with the company and we tend to get the same employees each week.

They are my landscape partner. I love Alexandra, she is the owners wife, who does all the scheduling and she is their Landscape Architect so she's been out to my place. Set me up for all the services. They've worked with me on getting my lawn fixed after developers put the sod right down on clay, did a bad installation of the sod. Your Landscape Partner rescued my lawn, so it's actually one of the envy's in the neighborhood.

Overall...The actual work performed was good, I would say an A. But, getting some of the problems address was very poor and the management lacking...I would give it a C at best .

Highly recommend and awesome company! I just recommended them to a neighbor.

I have a new house. The builder hired landscapers who were less than competent. Sod was laid on clay with no soil, the sod was not rolled for five days, and then it was not rolled properly. I had bare spots and wet spots. I hired Your Lawn Partner to apply a top dressing, to slowly build up soil for the roots to have something to gown in. The Lawn Partner team arrived five minutes early. The crew leader checked in with me to double check what was to be done. The crew applied the material, raked it in, cleaned off my sidewalk and driveway, and was gone within a couple of hours. Additionally, they removed weeds that were starting to grow in lawn's bare spots, put down some soil, and seeded the bare spots. I will be having them back to do some landscaping.
