Fritz is the owner and was simply a pleasure to work with. Right off the bat we appreciated his honest input and advice to save us money. He had the most reasonably priced bid and also the shortest timeline to start and finish the job. He was easily reachable by phone or text and always took the time to answer any questions we had. The whole thing went smoothly and without a hitch and was completed in three days time. Afterwards he even dropped off a bunch of his tools and wheelbarrow to use as we installed the landscaping stone ourselves. We will definitely be working with him again as we are now planning a paved area with a fire pit in our backyard. Fritz showed us some of the ones his company installed and we immediately appreciated the designs and solid workmanship.
Description of Work: Rejuvenating landscaping in the front and sides of the house. Services included providing landscaping design, installing brick edging, removing old hedges and trees, installing landscaping mat as the base for landscaping stone we planned to install ourselves to save labor costs. Also created a smaller brick-edged area with mulch to plant annuals, all other plants were perennials or evergreen shrubs which need minimal maintenance.

Fritz, the owner of Habitats got back to me quickly about what I wanted done. Within a few days he came to the house to discuss what I wanted done and offered many suggestions to solve my problem planting areas/yard including buying everything that was needed such as bark, rose trellis and perennials. In less than a week after talking through ideas for the yard he came up with an estimate which seemed very reasonable for all the weeding, cleaning up, planting, etc. that needed doing. He originally had given me an approximate time that the work would be preformed and true to his word at the end of that week he and his crew came and transformed my yard. I am very, very happy with the work done and the level of responsiveness Fritz and his crew showed.
Description of Work: Cleaned up front plantings in yard and put new bark in large area under a pine tree. Bought and put up a climbing rose trellis. Removed cement blocks in back planting area so new plants could be installed. Bought and installed perenial plants like coral bells, hostas, astilbes, bee balm. Weeded severely overgrown areas. Put in natural edges in planting areas. Trimmed yew hedge. Mulch all around.

Fritz came over and we discussed my vision. He drew up a plan, taking into consideration the big black walnut tree they had to work around. (not all plants are tolerant to the black walnut toxins) His ideas and suggestions were an enormous help. He gave me the option to get the plantings, which I did. Fritz and his crew(Adam, Chris, and Dan) arrived first thing in the morning. They were able to complete the job in one day. All the brush,branches, and weeds were completely cleaned up and hauled away. I am SO HAPPY with the final result. It looks fabulous! They were on time, easy to work with, and made me feel apart of the whole project all along the way. The crew are the best. Thumbs up to Habitats!
Description of Work: removed brush,weeds,and old dead bushes from my back yard area. Also removed weeds and bushes from a raised planter along my garage. There were a lot of tulip bulbs that they were able to dig up and transplant else where. Then they prepared and planted all new ferns, hostas, hydranga bushes, grasses, and flowers in both areas.

Habitats provided the exact level of service we requested. They evaluated the existing landscaping and developed an estimate for what it would take to clean up the yard. They did work that enhanced the landscaping and would make it easier to maintain in the future. For us the most important part of their work was that they listened to what we wanted and came up with a solution that matched it exactly. They performed the work on time and on budget. They then maintained the work they did with monthly maintenance work that kept the yard looking great all summer.
Description of Work: Habitats reclaimed landscaping that had been neglected for several years. They also provided monthly maintenance on the work they performed.

The crew did a great job and cleaned up everything behind them. No leaf was left unturned. I was impressed that everything was done by hand and some small power equipment.
Description of Work: The estimates have been professional and the crews have been as well. I have had trees planted as well as general spring and fall cleanup. I know they perform all softscaping type services and maintenance.

Performed far exceeding my expectations.
Description of Work: Although I got this referral from a family member, not Angie's List, they deserve mention. They came over and gave me a realistic bid for services. The person performing the bid was attentive and provided me an aproximate date for performance of a full yard fall clean up. Including removal of two trees. They beat their aproximate date for service. They also performed every task I asked them to do even though I was not there. They thoroughly cleaned up all leaves, branches and even some yard waste we had left in the yard ourselves. I couldn't be happier with the service.
