I hired 4 Elements Landscaping to do a major redesign of my garden. The owner of the company seemed to understand what I was looking for, and the design he came up with seemed appealing. However, once the project was completed a number of deficiencies were noted. Each of the 5 spot lights installed burned out within 3 - 4 months. A number of the pavers became loose within weeks of installation; some on the stairs which posed a real danger. It is my understanding that an inadequate sealant was used at the time of installation; however this has been repaired (hopefully they will not become loose again). In an area where landscape rocks form a border, not enough material was purchased, and what was left are unsightly gaps of dirt along the fence. The bench was stained without the wood having been properly cured, and an milky film (called blushing) appeared within days of installation. The owner has said he will fix this, but thus far has not. The worst deficiency was the use of our new cedar fence as one side of a garden bed. Anyone with proper carpentry expertise would know that you cannot pile dirt against a fence as it will rot the wood over time. I feel that the project was taking longer than anticipated and therefore corners were cut, or alternatively there is a lack of expertise and knowledge on the part of the owner.
Therefore, I would not recommend this company. read more
