Simon was wonderful! He was empathetic and helpful, leveraging his talents to translate my…read moresentiments into a gorgeous floral arrangement. My cousin's wife passed away, and while I couldn't attend the out-of-town funeral in Minnesota, I wanted to send my sympathy and support for my cousin. Simon transcribed my condolence message onto the card. The flower arrangement was breathtaking! The delivery was coordinated seamlessly, and the flowers arrived on time. I was notified every step of the way. The flower stock was fresh--no junky filler or stale, tired flowers. Floral arrangements on Spruce's site demonstrate a level of artistry that is unsurpassed. That kind of creativity cannot be duplicated; that is artistic vision unique to Simon. If you need a florist in the Minneapolis area, choose this one. ~Tim

Delivery was prompt the next day, and pricing was very reasonable. I also appreciated the text and email updates with delivery tracking. Troy, the delivery driver, was kind and even texted the recipient upon arrival. They also sent a photo of the arrangement before delivery, which was a nice touch. The flowers were perfect for my family. Great service overall--I would definitely order again!

Landscapes Unlimited is exactly what you hope for when hiring a contractor, quality work that is…read moreperformed on time and within budget. We were fortunate to meet the Landscapes Unlimited team during a visit to the Home and Garden Show in St. Paul. While reviewing photos of their work, we immediately recognized projects in our neighborhood that we envied. Our project manager, Jeff, worked collaboratively with us to understand our vision and deliver a landscape plan that met our needs. Through multiple revisions and adjustments, Jeff patiently redrafted plans and updated proposals. The end result is our outdoor sanctuary, complete with fountain, outdoor fireplace, sitting wall, paver patio, beautiful lighting, and berms with lush plantings. Jeff and his team delivered an outdoor space that exceeded our expectations. We couldn't be happier with the end result, and we have received many compliments from family, friends, and neighbors. Landscapes Unlimited is a very professional business. Their team was extremely diligent about leaving a clean job site at the end of every day. When you are in the midst of a large scale landscape project, it's nice to know that your contractor respects you and your neighbors enough to make certain sidewalks and streets are swept clean and tools and equipment are stored properly. Landscapes Unlimited transformed our yard into an outdoor extension of our home. It's a great space for us to wind down and enjoy beautiful summer afternoons and evenings (trust me...we plan to enjoy it during the fall and winter as well, but we just completed the project in July). We are also finding it to be a great place to entertain.

I filled out a warranty request last year because several of the plants that Landscapes Unlimited…read moreplanted had died or were dying on our new Stonegate home. I was told it was too late in the season to do the work last fall and that they would complete it in the spring. Now they're telling me the warranty has expired and they will not honor the warranty. Do you think that sounds like they have integrity? Also, that's how they treated us after we spent thousands of dollars on a patio and landscaping project with them. Their workers scratched our brand new siding and then refused to come back and make the repairs

The sales rep that came out to do the estimates and loan contract left out a key peice of the…read moreproject, notably the reason we're doing the remodel at all, the subflooring damaged by a leak. We scrounged to get the project at 15k so we can afford the loan payment. Low and behold a contractor comes out and I find out not only is the subflooring repair not on the estimate, the sq ft of flooring is wrong and it's got sink faucets instead of shower heads (vanity was going to be untouched by this project). The boss lady calls me and first thing out her mouth is we're going to start from scratch.... so your not even going to try to make this right? Your just going to throw it all away and start over like this huge mess up didn't happen? Like y'all didn't help me take out a credit line on a project estimate that wasn't accurate and btw, I asked to see it several times, was refused based on proprietary something, but had he shown me maybe it would've been caught. She says it's obvious I can't be made happy when she didn't even try! All I asked was for a sales person who actually knows what their doing and a contractor to come out (which was already scheduled for Friday so I guess that's cancelled to?) To give me real prices instead of half a quote. Moral of the story, if they mess up they're just going to trash your project instead of making it right. Good thing nothing had started yet, God knows how they would've screwed us over had the project actually gotten started. Found out the assumption was made that I would expect them to do the whole project for the original price. I never said nor implied such although that would be making it right when they royally messed up. I attempted to try and find a resolution but they didn't even try.

I recently bought three boxes of tile from this place, drove up to pick it up at the back delivery…read moredoor. Staff seemed helpful and pretty nice. The guy loaded them up and I drove off, again very friendly and helpful. My project started two weeks after that. My contractor went to open up the boxes and started to work. When he got to the third box, five out of six tiles were cracked or broken. My contractor told me they should stand by the tile and do an exchange. So I called them to let them know and that I was in the middle of my project and needed another box and that one box was broken, so would I be able to bring these pieces back and exchange for a new box? They informed me that once the tile leaves their store, they aren't responsible anymore! Do they think I enjoyed driving another 30 miles to deal with this in the middle of my project? So I asked I'm supposed to just buy another box with no assistance? She informed me that it was company policy! I asked her to talk to a manager, she came back and said, sorry we can't do anything for you. WOW! Thanks for letting me know you have such a crappy policy and ZERO customer service! I should've shopped at the TILE SHOP! Next time we will be.
