If I was reviewing the work product alone I would increase my score to maybe 3-4 stars - the…read moregeneral design was beautiful and almost represented what we wanted. There were, however, some avoidable flaws that we now have to live with forever, in addition to repairs and issues with the owner so all together that deserves the lowest rating to serve as a warning. For context, this was a $300k Pool Project (overall) with over $200k of that going to OLG. OLG subs out the pool construction to a pool builder which is fine but he doesnt communicate or coordinate well with anyone which is where the problems come in. The pool contractor never reviewed the design that OLG came up with so we got stuck with a hot tub that was too big and a pool that was too small (both things we asked about before digging and were dismissed), no lighting under/inside the waterfall and a 6" slope on our patio which means our lounge chairs now lay at a reverse angle when flat which essentially means we can't lay them flat - all disappointing details that we have to live with. Additionally, we suffered through repairing a major leak twice just a few weeks after we finally opened the pool. I might add that we had to point out that we thought we had a leak. The grotto/waterfall had not been waterproofed properly - collaboration with the pool contractor could have avoided this but the owner of OLG thinks he already knows everything so he's not likely to collaborate. The first repair wasn't sufficient and so a second effort was needed. After more than a yearlong process, we lost much of the first summer and had to cancel two events at our home due to the leaks and having to drain the pool. We also asked to have lights added under the grotto/waterfall and that has been a nightmare that never ends and they finally told us they were done and wouldn't come back, even though the last installation of replacements (that we hope will last this time) we're not installed properly. We were overly patient with their process to replace the bad lights and now that puts us outside their warranty period so we are on our own. I understand they are tired of coming back and want to move on but it's not our fault that their initial workaround didn't hold up (or that we had leaks, etc.) Were it not for the arrogant and condescending attitude of the owner, we would have easily gotten over honest mistakes but anyone looking to hire OLG should simply be aware that while the owner presents himself as being a very organized and professional businessman, which does show well initially compared to many contractors, there is an arrogant and condescending underside to his professionalism and I found that came out rather quickly. And once it did, he wrote us off. Thankfully the foreman at the time was a great person and very competent (he has since left the company) so we were always able to work well with the on-site team. The owner never talked to us again and never even visited the completed job site to walk through the final outcome with us. This spoke volumes to us in the end. He missed out on an extra $80k in landscaping as we had originally planned to implement his design for the front/side yards and our front gate area. I was not willing to give him any more business at the end of the pool job. Unfortunately you need to consider the owner and his personality as part of your overall consideration when choosing a landscape or pool company. I'm sure there are customers who have had a good experience and for the right (landscaping only) job you might get out without any problems, but based on our overall experience, I would NOT recommend OLG at all, and especially not if you are building a pool. Good luck!

I hired Outside Landscape to completely revamp my yard. I wanted a professional look after years…read moreof DIY landscaping. My project included planting sod in my backyard, building a grill station, a patio, landing deck, two raised garden beds, installing a gravel driveway, a privacy fence, and planting native plants around my front and side yards. The project manager (Ray) took the time to understand what I wanted and worked with me to come up with a creative design that fit my budget. They completed the project pretty much on schedule and with no surprises on the cost. It was not cheap but everything looked great. It has been a year and I am generally still pleased with the quality of the work. I have lost a few plants which they would not replace without an extra charge but everything still looks good. I would use them again.

During the process, they destroyed our front yard, side yard, as well as the entire back yard. When it was brought to his attention, we were told "it's part of demo mode." We were then supposed to reuse rock we already had, that was less than a year old. Instead of anyone ling the rock and putting it on a tarp, they used a bobcat and ruined all the rock because they were covered in mud (white rocks.) Mike got into a cussing match with my husband and then told us we had to come put an extra $1000 because his team destroyed our yard, and we now needed it fixed. He even told my husband that he wished he never worked with us and couldn't wait to be done. The yard was left uneven, caps were not sealed, the staircase was sideways and uneven and worst of all, anytime it rains, mud and rock shoot all over the patio and stairs. The worst experience we have ever had and I would never recommend them to anyone!!!!!

I thought I should wait another season just to make sure it wasn't transport shock. This Spring the tree is dead. I watered the tree and took excellent care but for some reason it didn't make it. I saw that Pikes has a lifetime guarantee of trees and shrubs. I contacted Steve because we paid a lot of money for this tree and for some reason it didn't take. He told me the warranty has expired. Why would I buy anything else from Steve when Pikes guarantees their trees for life? I was very disappointed that this is how he chose to deal with the problem. So now we have a dead tree in our front yard and have to pay for a new tree and removal of the old one! Not good.

From the start, they were professional and thorough. Julie was very! responsive to any questions and very professional. She provided proof of $1 million in insurance coverage and added us as additional insureds on their policy, which gave us real peace of mind. Out of five quotes we received, their pricing was very competitive. On the day of service, they showed up exactly when promised with a crew of four and two trucks, fully equipped for the job. They worked safely, efficiently, and with clear expertise. Just as importantly, they did a complete cleanup afterward--no debris left behind. We also have photos showing how risky the tree's location was and the impressive size of the trunk they handled. I highly recommend Tree Service N More for any tree removal job, especially challenging ones.

Julie, the owner, was hands-on throughout and made sure we were completely satisfied. The crew did an excellent job, left the site clean, and pricing was very competitive. We now have a big landscaping project ahead, but if the rest of it goes even half as smoothly as this tree removal did, we'll be in great shape. Highly recommend.
