Description of Work: Came out to give a look at and bid on a number of items that needed landscape work. We were not ready for provider since we had not determined priority or how the jobs interact. We are going to look at an overall plan and design before getting bids so no work was performed. Very professional consultation. Thank you!!!

Excellent. Read above.
Description of Work: Robert recently did another major project for us; the front yard. As with our back yard project, he provided a fairly accurte estimate, and exceeded our expectations in terms of end-product. We are however beginning to expect to be blown away by the quality of his work, so it is getting harder for him to surprise us. We have been using Robert for over two years and plan to continue. He is knowledgeable (BS in Biology plus many years of experience in his trade). He is also reliable - never a no-show. And he is professional - always get a quality product that is suitable for our climate, soil, and budget.

Excellent.
Description of Work: Robert is an arborist who clearly knows trees and plants. He took great care of a 30 year-old tree evergreen, carefully pruned and cleaned branches. The 30 year-old Japanese Laceleaf Maple had not been cared for for many years and has now been pruned so it looks as it should and is truly a statement in the yard. Robert identified disease in a Cherry tree and talked about the best way to handle that and when it could, and should, be replaced. He also did general yard clean-up, raked flower beds, trimmed many large and over grown plants and shrubs, brought in high quality top soil and hauled away all debris.

Robert is professional, has wonderful suggestions, does a thorough job, cleans up beautifully after himself and is more cost effective than you might imagine. The initial price for our yard looks high but included is the extensive pruning, cleanup, plant renovation, removal and replacement as well as time spent choosing plants and trees at his wholesalers. My husband and I couldn't be more happy with his services and we plan on continuing to use him for maintenance on our yard.
Description of Work: Robert did approximately 10 years worth of deep pruning on our trees/shrubs as well as made recommendations regarding plant selection to replace existing shrubs that were out of control. He turned a routine looking yard into something more interesting, elegant and aesthetically pleasing. For those of you who want a special yard that you can enjoy for years to come or just want your pre-existing yard pruned appropriately and don't have the time or energy to do it yourself, Robert is the person for you.

The project went well. Robert does excellent work, and he is professional, communicative, and easy to work with. No complaints at all.
Description of Work: Robert pruned/shaped a variety of trees and shrubs on our property after assessing the needs and proposing a plan. Everything looked great when he finished. He also arranged for another service to come in for a tree removal, and he supervised that process.

Robert did some tree work for us and then I immediately enlisted his help in sprucing up our front yard. He proposed a fairly detailed plan based on the cost ceiling I quoted, and he made sure to incorporate the few ideas we contributed. Our main idea was to let Robert have the ideas. He did a great job of scaling the work to the budget and adapting as the work played out. There were no surprises, as he kept me informed/involved. And the look and health of our garden area were vastly improved. He did a beautiful job.
Description of Work: Robert developed and implemented a large (to us) planting project for our front yard.

Robert Mills provided excellent service. He was patient in answering our questions, and helped us find solutions for some unique challenges we faced with planting trees on a narrow, sloping, and rocky strip of land. His style is very exacting, meticulous. As a certified arborist, Robert undoubtedly works on jobs more interesting than planting a bunch of ordinary "Emerald Greens." But he was very serious about the job, and determined to ensure that the soil and irrigation system were done perfectly, so the trees would look healthy and grow fast. For this job, we solicited three bids from contractors. Robert Mills did not provide the lowest bid. In fact, his was the highest. Yet, we chose him because it was clear from his estimate that we were getting better value for our money. The other contractors were just going to dig holes in the rotten soil, toss the trees in, and walk away. As with other things in life, you get what you pay for. Robert is definitely worth the money.
Description of Work: The project involved planting 27 trees (Thuja Emerald Green) down our long driveway, to provide screening from new construction built next to our property. Included in work was preparing a planting bed with compost soil amendment & mulch, as the existing soil was very bad, basically clay and rock. Robert also installed a drip hose along the base of the trees, to provide regular irrigation and speed up the growth of the trees. The trees were relatively large, 6 to 7 feet, about $64 a piece, so half of the total project cost was in purchasing the trees, the other half was for labor and other supplies, i.e., compost soil, irrigation system components, mulch, fertilizer, etc.

Robert did a great job of tending to our mature camellias and cloud-pruned junipers. We also planted a black pine a few years ago and want to continue its Asian style pruning. We'd had a person who did a great job previously but he's busy now with larger projects. It took us a while to find some one who was tuned in to this style of pruning. We're very happy with Robert's attention and we'll be glad to have him back in the spring for candling.
Description of Work: Pruning, needling and thinning of camellias, junipers and black pine.

Robert was punctual, did an excellent job from start to finish. The price seemed a bit high but the end result was very good.
Description of Work: We have a heirloom Rhododendron tree (about 60-70 year old) that had grown so high that it was blocking our neighbor's view. The job required working on high ladders set in difficult positions. Robert pruned the tree in a manner that maintained it's beauty and stature.

Robert came when expected, gave excellent advice, did the work as proposed, and was very easy to work with. He did all the work himself. I only gave the price a B because I don't really know how it rates against others. I'm sure he's not the cheapest, but he knows what he's doing. We certainly felt it was worth the price we paid. We have an extensive garden planted by the previous owner, and Robert's work helped ensure it would survive the winter.
Description of Work: Pruning, soil amendment, moving some plants to better spots.

Reasonably well, the pruning and trimming was quite good, but the cleanup was second rate. Several branches and parts were left behind.

Response from LEGACY GARDENS & TREE CARE
MY APOLOGIES TO THE MEMBER FOR ANY DISSATISFACTION ON THIS JOB. I WAS INJURED ON THE FIRST DAY OF THIS JOB AND SUBSEQUENTLY HAD A VERY DIFFICULT TIME FOLLOWING THROUGH AND DELIVERING THE KIND OF SERVICE THAT I AM IN THE ABSOLUTE HABIT OF PROVIDING. I WAS UNDER THE DISTINCT IMPRESSION THAT HE WAS VERY HAPPY WITH MY WORK. IF THE MEMBER HAD ANY CONCERNS OR UNMET NEEDS, ALL HE HAD TO DO AT ANY POINT (INCLUDING THE CLEANUP PHASE) WAS TO COMMUNICATE HIS CONCERNS AND THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN IMMEDIATELY TAKEN CARE OF. I AM ALSO HAPPY TO PROVIDE A NO CHARGE FOLLOW UP SERVICE AT HIS CONVENIENCE.

My gardens in the front & back look like new. Need I say more? Honest & reliable.
Description of Work: Robert Mills first came and gave me an estimate. My garden in the back was a mess. He examined the trees carefully & told me I would need to have 3 trees removed and do same work on my bamboo. We talked about my goals for the garden. He came up with some great ideas. He always came on time. He purchased the plants we agreed on, cleared the entire garden & put the new plants in place. I was thrilled with the results so I asked him to work on my front garden. He did a beautiful job there as well!

We have a lot of trees on our lot and have replaced the lawn with shrubs and perennials, so there's a lot to do here all the time, and Robert has done a great job no matter what the task. Last winter, he brought in 10 yards of compost and did a lot of pruning. This spring, he did a lot of work on my fairly elaborate drip irrigation system and brought in some native plants to fill in under the trees. This summer, he kept everything going while we were gone for a month, and this fall he did a lot of thinning, transplanting, and some renovation of a few trouble areas. Today, he spread 6 yards of cedar chips on the pathways throughout the property and cut up the last of the fallen branches from the big storm for our wood pile. Robert has a lot of experience and knowledge about plants and trees and an excellent network of resources. More importantly, he's passionate about his work, committed to organic sustainable landscaping, and a really personable guy besides.
Description of Work: Robert has been helping me with my garden off and on for about a year. The price quoted above was for the last two months at 35$/hr and includes several days cleanup from the big storm. Robert is a certified horticulturist and arborist and over the course of this last year has helped me with a wide variety of tasks: pruning, transplanting, design and installation, troubleshooting sick plants, providing lists of possible plants for troublesome spots in our yard, and routine maintenance and cleanup.
