Description of Work: They came to my house, loaded 8 logs on a truck and took them to the Lee Highway store to be sawn into lumber. I asked them to delay the sawing because of minor surgery, which they complied with. The sawing went smoothly because the sawyer was very accommodating. He cut thicker boards if the log warranted it, giving me more options when I use them in my furniture business.

It didn't
Description of Work: We were acquiring bids for a large outdoor project (kitchen, hillside excavation, etc.) and working with a designer who, unfortunately, became ill during the process. I asked if the designer would like to turn the job over to a co-worker but she declined. Instead, we waited quite a long time (compared to other quotes) for her sketch & estimate only to get something quite unremarkable with a high price tag. Granted it was an initial sketch and she had been ill so our expectations weren't too high but what we received wasn't even worth considering.

It went very well. I went to them for the waterfall because I wanted it done right, and I had prior experience with Merrifield. They were finished in under a day, and they came exactly when they said they would. One plant did die and it took them a little while to come out to replace it, but they were very prompt in responding when I asked them to come to out and check the waterfall.
Description of Work: They designed our landscaping around the side of our house, providing all the plants, and Holly designed and had a waterfall in the back of the house installed.

We contacted Merrifield in April wanting to have our yard landscaped by May 18 because of a family event on that date at our house. We worked with Georgeann Casey, who is a wonderful designer. She came to our house in the pouring rain to assess our standing water issue and gave us honest advice about what we did and, more importantly, did not need to make our yard look good. Though it must be the busiest season for landscaping, Merrifield came through on short notice (albeit with only one day to spare!) in spite of several washouts in late April/early May, and our front yard looked wonderful for our family event. On the back yard, a much more involved project, Georgeann and her crew took extra steps to make sure our back yard will stay dry the next time we get heavy rains. The crew was very professional and pleasant. They came when they said they were coming, worked hard all day, and cleaned up after themselves. Best of all, the job was completed under budget!
Description of Work: Replaced overgrown shrubbery in front of house with new plantings, planted a tree, and cleaned out and mulched two overgrown beds on the side of the house. Also regraded and sodded back yard, re-routed backyard drainage (two sumps and three downspouts) and dug a dry river bed to eliminate backyard standing water.

Overall they did a good job, I just found their prices to be a little high. I would use them again in the future.
Description of Work: We replaced a patio and the landscaping around it. They did this work for us. They had to tear out an old patio and then they installed a fancier patio.

The job was professional. The plants were of good quality. It was easy. The team cleaned up any mess and took time to give me instructions. When I had a question about the soaker hoses, they came back out and traced all the lines to make sure it was all working properly at no charge. I was very pleased.
Description of Work: Jimmy did a detailed landscape plan for several areas of our property based on out particular requirements including a deer problem. We decided to implement one piece of the plan. Merrifield cleared a large hill area, fixed the soil, planted 31 junipers, installed soaker hoses, mulch, etc.

The nice thing about them is they stand beside their guarantee and their plants. We had a couple die on us and they are going to replace them free of charge. Integrity is something you just don't find any more.

I am not allowed to have grass in the backyard of my townhouse so they worked with me designing and drawing out a plan for the landscaping. They had no problem with my picking out smaller bushes to bring down costs. I will be using them for my front yard.
Description of Work: They installed a 20 x 20 foot garden area in the backyard of my townhouse. This included dry creek bed, trees and bushes.

They did a great job and also planted some flowers and shrubs at the same time. The whole project took 6 days and we have had no problems. After they were done, the manager sent the crew back to clean up. It cost more than other estimates but it was worth the price.
Description of Work: I had them build me a 12x12 square foot porch along with a blue stone walk way.

I was very happy with the consultant that I talked with. He seemed to understand what I wanted and was very knowledgeable. When the work was actually performed, it seemed like the workers were on a different page. The wrong type of azaleas where planted and a few where over looked. I had to call and complain. They came a fixed the problem. The azaleas they planted were not very healthy and a few of them did not make in a year. I have not had problems with plants that I have picked out myself. I think they outsource their work and do not supervise their workers. It was also a busy time of year so there was a few weeks between my consultation and when the work was performed.
Description of Work: Had azaleas replaced in yard.

The border was particularly evenly dug- It looks great. Tom selected good plants for this location, all but one variety are thriving. I appreciate Merrifield's plant warranty, and know that they'll return to replace the dying plant.
Description of Work: Tom Wallerich came to the house for a consultation. He made recommendations about which plants would work well in this soil, with these light conditions. He created a landscape plan for us to review. His team later installed new plants, removed dying old ones and dug a border.

I asked the garden center what they would suggest as a top dressing for lawn areas. Orgro was suggested. I ordered the appropriate volume. They arrived on time and were very polite. They spred the material very unevenly, and the material was not completely decomposed resulting in burning the entire lawn and killing many small areas.
Description of Work: Delivery, materials and labor to topdress the lawn with 4 cubic yards of Orgro(organic material)
