Instead, they took the time to walk me through the underlying issues in detail, recommended a different approach, and turned down the job altogether.

Yelp - Suburbia transformed our yard!!!…read more Amazing. Wonderful. Professional. Dedicated. Thorough. Skilled. Offer ways to do it even better. Courteous. Friendly. Helpful. Amazing. ------------ ------------ We discovered Suburbia Hardscape and Landscape a few months ago, thanks to seeing the sign on the pickup truck of owner Mike Kalemis. After a phone call and a visit, we were confident we found the right team to improve our yard - Mike really understood what we were looking for. They did a great job planning improvements in our yard, in the back, in the front, and on the sides. Note: our back yard has a steep hillside with with a 35-40 degree angle. The left side of the yard is level with the main floor of the house, and the right side is level with the lower level of the house... and there is a walkway to provide a smooth walking path from one side to the other. Improvements that Suburbia made to our yard include: - Installing a French drain to move the large volume of water runoff that flows down the hillside - Adding drainage from the end of the gutter and downspouts to the spots away from the house - Replacing the original backyard walkway with one with graduated steps and wonderful lighting, and expanding the original patio; adding a border to the walkway with some sizeable rocks/boulders of Missouri limestone to be a border on the downhill side - Improving the path, at the bottom of the walkway, that leads to our back door - Adding a back yard play space for our dog by installing the same kind of turf that they have at the Ellisville dog park... with one fantastic edging that matches the walkway and keeps the natural grass away... and with odor reducing sand - Adding some steps in another location in the back yard, making it easier to climb the hill to our bird feeders - Adding some hornbeam trees in our side yard, to block the light from shining into some windows when cars drive by - Removing some aging trees and bushes and replacing them with nicer one, including a weeping cherry and a sweet bay magnolia - Providing mulching and edging in the front of the house - Installing mulch and grasses (liriope spicata) to make a border on the one side of the house, between the house and the grass - Seeded additional medium-height grasses in a space beyond our fence, to provide some stability against - Replacing the original, weathered, garden box with a nice new cedar planter box Mike, Arturo and the crew were fantastic. They listened to what our concerns were and really worked to understand how to make our yard better. As they proceeded through the the install, each day, they included us in the process - they shared their plans for the day, they shared what they completed at the end of the day, and during the day they included us in thinking how to make the back yard better - offering options and recommendations and listening to our thoughts. Our yard was a originally welcoming. Our yard is now fantastically awesome!!' The expanded patio and the dog park make the space so much more open and inviting! The lights on the walkway make it safer and more wonderful to look at! Mike and Arturo and team are also able to move sprinkler heads and in-ground water lines and other things in your yard (a valuable skill). (And beyond hardscape and landscape services they also can help maintain your yard with fertilizers, seeding, etc.). The mulch and trees and bushes make the front and sides of the houser more wonderful to look at! Thank you, Arturo, for thinking of the walkway lights! Thank you, Joshua, for the attention to detail installing the other steps! Thank you to Mike and the entire Suburbia team for helping improve our yard - your attention to detail is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! We moved to our current home in late 2018. One of the features that led us to move was that the back yard opens to woods behind us, and that we had a nice back yard for our dog to play in. That yard has a steep hillside, but it had a nice walk way. Then two big rainstorms led to a big washing away of the smaller rocks used to hold the original walkway together. Add to that some muddy spots in the yard from natural runoff and we needed some help. We elicited bids from a couple companies and

We had a patio installed in Spring 2021 with Suburbia Hardscape and Landscape. The process was a…read more*disaster*. The salesman was abhorrent in every way imaginable, and left my yard in shambles, and unsafe for my children. When I attempted to contact the owner, my messages were all blocked from reaching him. Therefore, I posted a negative business review. Fast forward to that review being posted in Fall 2021. The owner then reached out to me to resolve the matter. The resolution was a small project to update curb appeal (a brick mailbox to match the patio). I was very happy with this consolation!! I removed my negative business review, per owners request, however now it is now summer 2022 and my project has not even taken the slightest step forward. I have had monthly contact the owner seeking updates. I am regularly told "I am working on it...", "let me check on that", and then I hear nothing. This company mislead me in the original project, and then has essentially continued to not deliver on subsequent agreements. My personal experience with this company has included: misleading business practices (the contract I signed was not what was installed), unsafe business practices (exposed trenches and gas lines in my yard for WEEKS), work being done at my house without my consent or approval (I asked for no work to be preformed while we were on vacation...but it was, and it was not what we had agreed upon), never ending excuses, misleading information, so on and so forth. I have been incredibly disappointed by this company for over a year now. Proceed with extreme caution with Suburbia Hardscape and Landscape. It has been upsetting and disappointing *every* step of the way.
