He was knowledgable and gave opinions where appropriate, suggesting trees to be removed, how to transplant/relocate shrubs to maximize our budget, etc. The 3-stars comes from responsiveness in receiving estimate and sketches for the final landscaping arrangements--I never received an itemized estimate, but I did receive some photoshopped images that attempted to convey some of the requested work. Good: Friendly, personable reps, pricing was very competitive Room for improvement: Responsiveness, details (taking site photos and notes, delivering itemized estimate)

His prices are better than at the last firm we used before him, which did plant some trees too close. We've had two good experiences involving grading and tree planting.

When I returned, I discovered that the work was incomplete, the yard was rutted from his machinery, the wood chips had been blown into the wrong area, and the stumps hadn't been cut to the ground. He agreed to come back and finish the job. He didn't, and when I finally got him to answer my emails/calls, he pled poverty and asked for more time which I was happy to provide. But, once again, he didn't return and refused to answer calls or emails. I filed my complaint with the BBB and, after 8 months of trying to get him to honor his contract, moved on.

I wish I could give it a negative star. The company owner lies to me…read more I bought lawn care and lawn seeding services. The company owner(his name is Mike), promised to me when he comes, he will come with some tools, but actually, when he showed up, he just took a bag of seeds and a bottle of herbicide with him, he had no tools at all(rediculous). Just used his hand to remove some weeds, sprayed some herbicide on the weeds, and randomly sprinkle grass seeds on the ground surface. He told me that he will assign some people to come to my yard and put some straw to help the grass grow. (but on the second day, nobody came at all.) It's about 2 hours job, he charged $700, he used an excuse that his bank did not accept my check, so I have to pay him with cash. After that, he promised he will come 2 months later, he will use machines to dig some holes on my lawn and overseeding. But when the time came, he did not show up, do not answer my phone, and just like to disappear. I used my wife's phone to call him(i never used my wife's number call him so he did not know it's me), he picked up very quickly( obviously he want to cheat more money from different people). On the phone, he said his schedule is full, but he will come back again, and after that, I can not hear from him again, he blocked both our phone calls obviously. It's my first time to meet this situation, NO HONESTY AT ALL. I used yelp for about 4-5 years, but this is my first review, I want people to know this company and do not be cheated by this guy. DO NOT CHOOSE THIS COMPANY, UNLESS YOU WANT TO WASTE YOU MONEY!

***Update*** You will see a response from the owner making…read moreme look like I am in the wrong and I sent them away. I am attaching new pictures of texts that anyone can read. These messages a clearly me asking for him to come finish the job. I in no way sent them away, on the contrary I continued to try to work with the owner to have him come back and finish a job. I urge anyone going into business with this person to use caution! The owner is a thief and robbed me of $1000 cash, literally stole my money and claimed I never paid him. If I could give negative stars on this company I would. I put a request on yelp for landscaping service and was contacted by Michael the owner. Over a couple days of text we were able to meet and go over what I needed done. His original estimate was $500, but after coming out and seeing the brush I wanted removed, he said it would be another $500. I went and got $1000 cash and paid him on the first day(big mistake because I did not get a receipt and now there is no record to show I paid, and the owner makes that clear that there is no record). And what bothers me the most is I am a single parent with a full time job, a part time job, and in school, so money isn't the easiest thing to come by, nor do I have the time to handle this job. This is why I reached out to a company for help. The first day he came out was March 2, it was really windy that day, so he was unable to finish the leaves. He came out a day or two later and bagged up some leaves, and cut down a few brush trees. Since then, there has been no progress on the job. The job was completely abandoned and even attempt to get Michael to come out and finish met with no results. Every time I contacted him there was some excuse as why he could not come out. He originally told me he had a number of crews working in different areas of Spotys/Fredericksburg, but not once did any "crew" ever come out to my house, nor did he ever make an attempt to get a crew to finish the job. I told him I wanted the job completed or my money back, and he then stated I never paid for the job and there is no money to return. He then stated the job was only for leaves, and never to have anything removed. When on the very first day he made a call to someone to ask how much it would be to drop off brush at the dump because he said it was not enough for a chipper machine. Two weeks, very little progress, and me having $1000 stolen from me, I DO NOT recommend this company at all. Ive included pictures of what was done to my yard, and the pile of trash just left everywhere.
