No response after a week. Now almost two months later and still no response. If the landscaper is too busy to take on new projects, he should be upfront about that and not make empty promises. Very unprofessional.
Description of Work: Landscape Designer Dan came to our property about our landscape redesign project. He promised us a bid within a week.

Blair was recommended by our architect after an addition to our house this summer left the back yard a mess. I called them and was very clear that we needed some limited work done this fall, and was assured that they had time for that on this year's schedule. Dan came out the next week (8/26), walked the property, discussed the work and timeline, took measurements, and promised a plan and a bid within a week. When that didn't come, I called to inquire. No response to my call. I then emailed and got an email response from the owner (9/5), who apologized and promised a bid was coming. I responded to say I was still very interested. Couple of more days, and then an email from Dan (9/8), apologizing and promising the plan and bid the next day. Didn't come. I emailed again (9/9). Couple of days later, another email from Dan (9/11) reporting that a proposal had been prepared and was just being reviewed by the owner and would be sent to me very soon. Again, I expressed my eagerness to see it. Never came. Waited, hopefully. Finally I emailed again on 9/21, and they have never responded at all. I really liked Dan, and had high hopes for the process. I recognize that we were inquiring late in the season, but I was really clear about our needs in terms of timeline. If they didn't have time for the work, I would have appreciated them saying so up front, rather than dragging the process on for weeks, wasting my time and further delaying our project's timeline. Very disappointing.

2012 - great experience! Worked with us to come up with a design we loved. Came in on budget, which was very reasonable given the work requested to be done. Listened to what we were looking for and worked with us on options to find a solution we liked on budget. Crew was very respectful and hardworking. We had a couple plants that didn't take within a month or so due to the drought and they replaced without an issue. No issues to report. 2014 - we're currently working with Blair on a new estimate and project for a new house we bought. They will be redoing the landscaping design as well as some water drainage work. Very excited to see the end results!
Description of Work: 2014 project - regrade around the house for proper drainage, bury downspouts, install rain garden, redesign and landscape front of new house 2012 project - redesign and landscape front of house (old house in Madison, in 2013 we moved to a new house)

The price was reasonable. They were prompt. They were here on time. They were here almost immediately when I called them and when I needed it. The blacker wasn't what I thought it would be but I find no complaints.
Description of Work: We got some dirt from Blair Lawn & Landscape.

Our experience overall was excellent. We worked extensively with Nate to create a workable design from our original concept. We found him to be flexible, knowledgeable and talented. He incorporated our ideas, dealt with our quirks and guided us skillfully in making good choices. He was also a very responsible and involved boss once the work began. The Blair crew was focused, efficient and friendly. We were impressed that they left the work site in such good condition at the end of each day. (They worked for a solid 3 weeks, during some of the hottest weather of a record breaking summer.) Our deck work was particularly fussy carpentry, and Arturo did a masterful job making it all come out beautifully. We worked closely with Pat on the lighting design and are very happy with the outcome, which included very discrete down-lighting at elevation changes and a well positioned uplight with it's own on/off which Pat engineered for us as a late add on. Our only disappointment came from trying to maintain new plantings in a yard full of active moles, which does not reflect on the Blair crew or their planting skills! We would happily contract with Blair again. We really enjoyed working with them and are delighted with the outcome.
Description of Work: We contracted with Blair to help us with a major transformation of our back yard. In the end, this included the construction of 6 red cedar decks with LED lighting, a pathway of large pavers, a low stone wall, a recovered portion of lawn and about $1,200 in plantings.
The crews sent by Blair were always very nice and tried hard, but when mistakes were made we became very frustrated with the service. The overflow hose had to be installed 3 times. The 3rd time they punctured the hose as they were planting replacements for established perennials that they mistakenly had pulled because they thought they were weeds. We had always been good customers (over our 3 years of using them for snow removal we had promptly paid bills totaling more than $2000.00). But when we had complaints or things that needed to be addressed with this landscaping project, Blair's owner was at best unresponsive and at worst very rude to us.
Description of Work: We'd used Blair for snow removal for three years and decided to use them for the installation of a rain barrel with overflow hose and general weeding, hard edging of all beds and top dressing with mulch.

The crew arrived at the expected time and wasted no time in performing the repair. They had left already by the time I got back home from an appointment, but I was pleased with the work and there was no need to call the company and ask them to come back for minor fixes. As I expected, I will need to sweep some additional sand into the spaces between the pavers, as it has settled some. But the steps are now safe, solid, and perfectly level. The repaired area blends very well into the rest of the patio.
Description of Work: The pavers in the steps leading up to the front door had sunk below the wood framing, making them hazardous -- they needed to be removed and the substrate material built up so everything would be level again. The tricky part of the job was that on the top step the paved area broadens out into a patio -- so the re-do had to blend in with the existing patio, which is also sinking a bit with age but not yet in need of replacement.

Blair was excellent. They came to look at our property in a timely fashion and got back to us quickly with an estimate and sketch. They came sooner than they had originally though, did a great job on the work and it was done very quickly. All in all I was very pleased with the work and am considering hiring them to do some additional landscaping in the future.
Description of Work: We had a small patio installed between our garage and back door. They also removed a couple of shrubs and added some fill to improve some drainage.

It was incredible. At the time of their estimate, they told me it would be about 3 weeks before they could start the project. I got home a few days later to see that they had already started!! And they finished within a day of that!! They did terrific work, made my backyard look beautiful, communicated with us along the way, and at a reasonable cost. I would definitely use them again and will recommend them to anyone who asks. After a debacle with a new deck last year, I had almost lost all hope for contractors. My faith is restored.
Description of Work: Blair installed a brick patio in my backyard with patio pavers.

I received many bids for this job and they were not the very cheapest but I felt I could trust them. I do not remember exactly what I paid. They have a good reputation and they exceeded my expectations. They did and excellent job planting. The yard was thoroughly cleaned when they were done. I would use them again for projects like these.
Description of Work: I had a small yard less than a quarter acre landscaped. They planted shrubs around the house, flowers and installed a rock garden for decoration.

They came out to do the estimate quickly, but then it took two weeks and two phone calls to get the estimate from them. The second time I called, they told me the estimate was in the mail. The next day they hand-delivered it... so it wasn't in the mail after all. During this time, I had a second estimate done. The second landscaper took my list of jobs and told me where to cut uneccessary steps and save money. Blair's staff just wrote down what I asked for and never suggested other ways to do things. After getting the second company's estimate, I called Blair, refining what I wanted done and asked them to price it out. They said they would get it to me a few days later. It arrived two weeks after that. I don't know if they would have done a good job, because I'm not hiring them. If they can't get me an estimate on time, I doubt they'll get the job done on time either. Or maybe a $3000 job wasn't big enough for them to bother with. The job would of cost $3,700.
Description of Work: I called Blair to get an estimate on lawn work, tree removal, edging, mulching beds, and fixing a fence. I wanted to contact 2 landscapers to compare estimates. Blair was the first one I called, and was interested in having them do the work because I figured it was a well-known, large company that could handle the various jobs required.
