Devonshire Landscapes Inc

Rick and the team are top notch. Turned out great and was very happy. My budget was met and scope of work was executed perfectly.

Quality was excellent. Professionalism was excellent. Don't know the price of their work with respect to other providers, but we felt that they provided excellent value. The price exceeded the original estimate due to change orders so if you're not familiar with bidding or know exactly what you want completed, I would say to budget for an additional 10% to allow yourself some flexibility. Would highly recommend their services.

Will is professional and friendly. His team showed up promptly and the needed equipment was delivered. The team was well trained and did a great job. They worked late to complete the job in one day. They cleaned up the work areas and left everything in a pristine condition. We are very happy with the work and the way it all happened.

Great. Matt was responsive in returning my call and providing an estimate for the insurance company. Once the settlement came we scheduled the work and when they arrived it was done in two days. He also did some extras for me while he was here and was very fair in his prices for that work too. Recommend

We recently had a garage built and permeable pavers were required for the driveway. Devonshire Landscapes submitted the most reasonable bid for installing Ecopriora pavers and building two retaining walls using Manorstone blocks. Rick Fox, the installation manager, was attentive to the details of the design we had in mind. Frequently we have dealt with contractors who have listened to what we wanted and then failed to make sure their employees did the work as specified. That was definitely not the case with Devonshire, we got exactly what we wanted and in a timely fashion. Their workers were courteous, friendly and always willing to explain the work as it progressed. We would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

Devonshire has been fantastic. I have used them for 8+ years at the various houses I have owned. In addition to this backyard overhaul, they provide weekly services to keep our yard looking good. For this project the team had to rip out the grass we had which had drainage issues due to poor soil, and the paver patio. They then had to level the yard and custom cut flagstones to create a new patio and install a synthetic lawn. In addition they installed a different lawn in the dog run. The supplier of the synthetic lawn was difficult and relatively non-responsive due to high demand and odd scheduling, but Devonshire was able to work through the chaos and make it all work out. Over the years we have looked at other options, but have remained because the service cannot be beat. When there is an issue with a plant, they are very responsive to get it fixed, and they stand by the work that they do.

They did a fine job. We had some challenging communication but the work was good. I have had to call them back for some things but the fence and bushes look great.

The staff is great. The winter schedule is a little off and they don't come like they are always suppose to, but they are usually always on time for the spring schedule. The people that come and work on our yard are really good.

I have had good experience with them. They come twice a month except in the winter, when they come once a month. I would recommend them for their reliability. They are a little pricey.

We've spent almost $100,000 on our house over the past 5 years... new decks, chimney repair, roof, windows, new fireplace, plumbing, concrete work, landscaping, etc. Needless to say, I've dealt with a lot of contractors. Working with Will and Rick at Devonshire was really great. The project was complicated because of slopes involved and because we were planning a deck installation at the same time that affected the landscaping work. Rick Fox, our installer, was super patient and provided valuable input at key decision phases. He has great feel for things and so I was able to trust him and never felt I had to micromanage anything. The work staff was timely, professional, hard-working, and competent. The only downside, if I had any, was that I had some issues with the sub-contractor they referred who did my concrete work. That didn't go well. Devonshire however was not responsible for that sub contract work. It was only a referral. Also, it appears their pricing may have gone up some since I worked with them, but that wouldn't stop me from using them again. Good value overall.

I want to say my last service was two to three years ago –I think it was in the summer. It was a brick paver patio that they had to take up and reset because there were some sink holes in it. They are efficient and clean up well when they were finished. They did really a good job and the price was reasonable. I know a friend of mine around the corner he was using them for like weekly lawn but they don’t do it anymore in the east side. For any kind of project I would.

Will was pleasant to work with and had good ideas for our project. He was reasonably priced and kept to the budget we had agreed, subject to changes we requested. His workers were all very friendly and professional. At the start of the project the work went very quickly and efficiently. Towards the end of the project the pace slowed down quite a bit as workers were pulled to other projects. I spoke to Will about his and he was responsive in getting our project finished. All in all they did an excellent job and we where very happy with the result. We would definitely use Will and Devonshire Landscaping again.

It was two years ago that they actually did the landscaping. I've been doing the maintenance with them ever since. They charge $175. During the summer, they come every two weeks. During the winter, they come once a month. They're very professional and they treat their workers very well. They're reliable and knowledgeable. Their employees seemed to be well taken cared of. They do a good job.

After removal of two old trees from my front yard, the small yard was a disaster zone and an embarrassment to me. I determined to remove the grass and moss and have just plants and bark. I had previously spoken to another landscape co. The communication with them was so frustrating that after two weeks I turned to Devonshire. Part of the problem was that my job was small (no less important to me) and the landscapers were all in the midst of end of summer projects. I was visited by Dan V. and we discussed what I wanted. He was helpful and personable and promised an estimate within a few days. I felt it was a little high but after they did the work I was so pleased and felt it was worth every penny. I can't say enough good things about the crew, Steve and Abel. They arrived at 8:00 a.m. on the terrible stormy day of Sept. 30 and worked as if the sun were shining all day. They were respectful and willing to listen to my concerns and suggestions. For the most part I left them alone as they obviously knew what they were doing. They went the extra mile with placing a bird bath and stepping stones in the yard for me. I also hadn't expected the care and attention they gave to the small planting area on the opposite side of the yard. They took away all debris, including old bricks (they asked first if I wanted to keep them) and a broken fence board. They left the area clean and took obvious pride in their work. They were here for two days, worked hard and got the job done.

They are very organized and I really like these guys. Very reasonable on the prices, they are on time, very professional, and they are responsive. They are good about listening to me and honoring my requests. I've been very pleased over all.

The first visit just got the front and back yards mowed with 2 men working for just over 30 minutes. The second visit got the back yard mowed and the weeds pulled again with 2 men actually working for 20 minutes. They were to arrive for my third service between 2 and 4 pm but did not do so and there was no call to advise me that they were running late. I called Maintenance Manager Dan to advise the crew had not arrived. He appeared to be unaware that they were running late. He added that he had thought they could accomodate a 2 hour window to arrive for service but he felt they could not do so reliably. I therefore cancelled with them.

We were very happy working with them.

I sent a request for a quote and never heard back.

They did a good job. We would use them again in the future.

I chose Devonshire Lanscapes, Inc. based on their rating on Angie's list, their competitive bid, and because I got the impression that I could communicate well with them. They did major landscaping for me: built retaining walls, took out an old cement driveway, widened and rebuilt it with pavers and new retaining walls, put in a new drain, built new steps, extended a patio with new pavers, and built a new portion of fence to match exactly an older fence. They completed all that work while waiting for the city to approve a permit to build a large complicated retaining wall on another side of my property. Rick and his crew were meticulous, installed all the important drainage for the walls, and consulted me when questions arose. I am extremely pleased with the results and it was a pleasure to work with Doug, Will, and Rick and his excellent crew. The city permit office took all summer and autumn to finally approve the permit for the other side, after requiring all kinds of surveys, drawings, etc. Through all that hassle Doug and Will from Devonshire kept their patience, jumped through all the hoops the city required, and apologized to me for the delays even though it was not their fault. Work commenced on the big retaining walls a couple weeks before Christmas and was completed by January 2013. Rick and his crew, without me even asking, cleaned up their entire work site so it would look neat and clean during their short break for Christmas. They did quality work on every part of the project. The high retaining walls look beautiful, the driveway and patio pavers look great, the fence they built is perfect, they moved two good sized trees and replanted them, built garden boxes, built 3 sets of stairs, there's nothing they can't do and they do it all very well. And I'm happy to report that they were very pleasant and easy to work with. A+ Highly recommended!

We hired Devonshire because the company received such good comments on Angie's List. The company that I had used before had given me a quote of $6000 to perform the work that I wanted and, although they did very good work, I thought that they were trying to take advantage of us with those prices. I met with Will and specifically walked him through our property and explained that I wanted a profusion of color and plants in the yard and that I did NOT want any plants that were yellow in color. He provided me with an initial estimate of $900 -I was very surprised at the low cost and told him that I did not believe that price would provide enough plants for the large area and all of the pots that needed to be planted, given that I wanted a profusion of color. WIll assured me that he understood. The team showed up without Will to do the planting, and they obviously had no landscaping "plan" -- the plants were haphazard and very small for my large area. In addition, despite my explicit instructions, there were a very large number of YELLOW plants. I called Will and he apologized but did not offer any explanation. He and his crew came out a few days later to "fix" the problem -- although they removed the yellow plants, there still was no design to what they planted -- tall plants were placed haphazardly next to small plants. They re-planted a tree in a pot in an area in front of our garage that got afternoon sun that was very hot -- the tree died with 10 days after it was replanted. I would have expected that they would have known better. My nanny and I were required to go to our local nursery and buy $150 dollars worth of plants to fill in the areas that they considered "finished." Overall, I was extremely disappointed at the service and the product. I will never use this company again. In retrospect, I am very sorry that I did not go with my original landscaper.

The job went very well. Don't leave any windows or doors open during the work of cutting with the concrete saw. Even tho the saw used water there was still a lot of dust. Other thing we regret was that we did this job so late in the season because it started raining shortly after the job was finished. Did get a few sunny days to try it out. We are very happy!! Pleased with the excellent workmanship.

Overall, after some converstaions with Devonshire it went ok. the work was not initially performed to my expectation. Leaf removal was only partially performed, after several calls and paying more for the fact that it would take additional man hours it was. Weeding is not performed as it says they do or at least I cannot tell. They will do extra work outside of the monthly contract and this was done well. Purning: I would not trust them to prune as they do not send the most qualified plant people out for these types of jobs.

The bid was quick and similar to the amount I was charged the previous year. I sent a list of all the items to be done, including removal of a small Camelia in the front yard. My renters informed me that the workers were unable to remove the Camelia stump and cut it to the ground, which sounded fine to me. They also mentioned that one of the hedges that was to be trimmed was not completed and that the front exterior lights coming up the front steps no longer worked. I emailed the company to report the two issues and was advised not to call an electrician; they said they would send someone out to fix the lights. I advised that they ensure my renters were home to turn off the power so that the repair could be done safely. I was advised that this is not necessary for low voltage lights such as those on the stairs. I informed them I didn't know the voltage of the wiring in question. The workers said they would be out on two consecutive days but weren't able to make it. Finally on the third day, I emailed the company that for safety reasons, I needed to call an electrician. The repair was done and I sent the invoice to Devonshire. I then received a call from the office indicating they didn't think that they should have to pay for the repair (they said that it wasn't their fault that the wire was where it was). Additionally, I was told that my wiring was not up-to-code and that they weren't going to call an attorney, but they didn't think they should pay for the repair. They then asked that I pay half. The landscape office had gone by and spoken with my renter before calling me and also called the electrician who made the repair. I also called the electrician who said that the voltage was fine (up-to-code) and that the Cameila roots had grown through the wires and this made it difficult to remove the small stump and led to the slicing in two places of the wire. He also said that the depth of the wires could have be deeper. I wondered if the wires were pulled up during the attempt to remove the stump. I also found out that the landscapers could have had the front mapped (free of charge) for any pipes or other buried systems prior to digging. Given the tone of the communication with the office and their request that I pay half, I relented and paid for half of the electrical repair as I just didn't want to deal with them anymore. I also had to email the office again to determine that they had gone back out to complete the hedge trim that had not been completed, which they had.

I think I found them on Angie’s List. They responded to my phone call, and they came when they said they would. The people doing the work have been nice to work with, and they have good ideas. They clean up after themselves.
