Ken from Bluemels came on 6/20/2011 to give me an estimate for some landscaping I wanted done. He seemed to be in a hurry through most of our discussion and towards the end, even though I had more questions, he kept making his way towards his truck. He said he could probably do what I wanted done for about $2300, but he also wanted to give me an estimate on a fence (I told him I was getting estimates for a fence) but he didn't have the measuring tools with him. He said he could probably do everything, including the fence for $10,000 and would come back and measure and leave an estimate then. I have not heard back from him since then. I never recieved a written estimate for the landscaping. I never received an estimate for the fence, or both jobs together.
Description of Work: Wanted some trees/shrubs removed. Wanted stumps removed. Wanted old built up gardens flattened out and seeded w/ grass. Wanted big evergreens in front of house removed and replaced w/ either seed or some type of small bush.

The insecticide application was fine, but the customer service was not. The least you can do is call if you are not going to show up! On two occasions, appointments were made and no one came and they did not call to say they were not coming. A promised estimate never came. It took a trip to the store to get the estimate and schedule the treatment. On the day for the treatment, we stayed home waiting - no one came, no one called to explain or reschedule - finally we called at the end of the day. Yes this was a small job, but small jobs can lead to bigger ones or recommendations. Our neighbor already asked us who we were using for this problem - guess who we did NOT recommend.

They did a really good job. They were professional. They were reasonably price and prompt. They were quick and cleaned up after themselves. They put a new patio in our back yard. They knew what they were doing.
Description of Work: They do landscaping and they redid our front yard. They put in new sod and bushes. They did some landscaping. They took out the old grass and bushes. They did this on both sides of our driveway. They helped us decide what look to give the front lawn. They river rock around two trees in front of our home.

They first came out to give me an estimate and to find out what I wanted. They did not treat me poorly because my project was of a smaller scale. When the workers arrived, they were very friendly and finished the job within days. It was so pleased with the results. I would recommend them to anyone! They were reasonably priced and completely top notch!
Description of Work: Bluemel's put in a new patio in my backyard and also removed a few trees and planted a few others. They were so professional in their dealings with me and went out of their way to provide amazing service. While putting up a retaining wall leading from the patio to a raised backyard, they put in a small step so my dog could make it up there with no problem! That little extra was indicative of my entire experience with them! I would highly recommend them!

We had the first guy come over to give us a quote. He was only mediocre in his description and ideas. I wasn't too impressed with him, so I asked to speak with the other project manager. He was much better, helped me figure out a design and what type of pavers to use. The installation staff was wonderful, quick and neat. Overall, we are very pleased with our purchase. We upgraded as the work was going on, and they were very accommodating.

They had a better price than previous company that we used. They also have more services. The trimming is excellent. They did a great job in spring and fall cleanup. Our grass is 100% better. They got rid of the weeds. The crews are very nice to work with. I am the president of the condo association and I did not have one complaint.
Description of Work: We hired them to do our lawn maintenance, including aeration and gutter cleaning. They also do our snow plowing.

Scott is somewhat of a hard person to reach, in that he does not return phone calls in a timely manner, but once you do an you get your quote set time an date, the crew will show up to complete the job in a timely. Now for the bad news, I have tried repeatatly to get Scott out here to fix some problems, with the brick gaps getting bigger, and the bricks a settling, plus he made special brackets to hold down my gazebo, which he had to make special cuts in four of the bricks, a couple of them have cracked their corner off (installed that way). When he did return my call he said he would stop by, he has yet to stop by. I will call again after I close this out.
Description of Work: Put in a 12'x 15' brick patio. They removed top soil as needed to put in foundation for brick to lay on ,removed any left over soil, installed edging around outside of patio, then laid brick in place as per selected pattern, spread fine sand to fill in cracks, seeded outside areas around patio, clean up as needed.

THE WORK WAS NOT PERFORMED AS EXPLAINED TO ME. INSTEAD OF LANNONSTONE, BOULDERS WERE USED. I HAD A DIFFERENT PICTURE AS IT WAS DESCRIBED TO ME AND WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED, AND ACTUALLY FELT MISLEAD. I CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND SOMETIMES I WOULD GET A RETURN CALL, AND SOMETIMES NOT. SINCE THE SELLER PAID FOR THE WORK, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT COST.

THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO THE WORK AND NOT DO ANY HARM WHAT SO EVER TO MY CONCRETE DRIVEWAY, THIS IS STATED IN THE CONTRACT. HE SAID THEY WOULD STAY OFF OF THE DRIVEWAY COMPLETELY. THEY PUT THE CAT IN THE DRIVEWAY, IT LEFT TREAD MARKS AND DID DAMAGE. THEY ALSO WERE CUTTING THE STONE ON MY DRIVEWAY WHICH WENT THROUGH THE STONE IN SOME PLACES AND ACTUALLY GOUGED THE CONCRETE IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE CONTRACT ALSO SAYS THAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW THE SAME LANDSCAPING PATTERN AS THE TIMBERS WITH THE STONE, BUT THEY ENDED UP GOING A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT PATH AND PULLING UP A BUSH AND IT DIED. THEY TRIED TO HIDE IT WITH LANDSCAPING MULCH. THEY LEFT DRY CONCRETE DUST OVER ALL OF MY LANDSCAPING WHICH COULD OF KILLED MY PLANTS. I HAD TO HOSE OFF ALL OF THE LANDSCAPING MYSELF FOR SEVERAL DAYS TO REMOVE ALL OF THE DUST AND RESIDUE. I'VE CONTACTED THE OWNER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AFTER GOING THROUGH THE ACTUAL MEN I DEALT WITH, AND HE HAS NOT BEEN RESPONSIVE. I JUST WANT MY DRIVEWAY REPAIRED.

Response from Bluemel's Garden & Landscape Center
THE TEAR OUT PART OF CONSTRUCTION WORK IS NOT AN EASY OR CLEAN PROCESS. I DID LET THE CUSTOMER KNOW THAT THERE WOULD BE TRAFFIC OVER THE DRIVEWAY AND THAT WE WOULD DO OUR BEST TO KEEP IT TO A MINIMUM. THE WALL AND PATIO WERE INSTALLED AS DISCUSSED. WE ALSO DID EXTRA WORK SUCH AS RE-WORKING THE PLANTING BED, AS WELL AS INSTALLED SOD AT TOP OF WALL WHICH WAS NOT PART OF THE CONTRACT. UPON INSPECTING THE CLEAN-UP AND DAMAGE THE CUSTOMER REPORTED I WAS NOT ABLE TO SUBSTANTIATE HER CLAIM. IN A GOOD FAITH EFFORT I DID HAVE THE CREW RETURN TO GO THE EXTRA MILE. THE DRIVEWAY DID HAVE TIRE MARKS, BUT NOT ANY DAMAGE. THESE MARKS ARE ONLY SUPERFICIAL AND WASH OFF AFTER A FEW RAINS. CUSTOMER HAS NOT PAID THEIR BILL.
