Description of Work: They installed a firepit and pad in our backyard and did an excellent job. We had some issues with one of the fellas on the crew behaving in a less than professional manner. The owner, Matt, did rectify the problems but it took several days. We would not hesitate to call them for future projects.

Description of Work: They were asked to skim off the top 3 inch layer of nothing but rocks, hard clay with the Bobcat, and then we paid extra for good soil to be brought in. They were supposed to grade the other side of the house and to make it as flat as they were able. This was not done well at all, so now when is rains, there is a little river in the center of the space, that nothing can be planted on that whole side due to it being wet most all the time. The head of the service never supervised his men, nor did he come back to inspect their work. The landscaping shrubs are planted without good soil around them, so they are barely hanging on,

Description of Work: weeded 5 planting areas 2 large, 3 medium, added mulch to same 5 planting areas, moved 2 large shrubs, built 3 large mulch rings
After an inital consultation with Dusty to discuss our ideas, he developed a landscape design that we were very pleased with. When our HOA approved the project, we gave Live Oak the go ahead and the work began within a few days. Zack and the entire crew worked in an efficient and professional manner and they completed the job in about four workdays. The owner, Matt, was available to answer any questions we had. We are very happy with all aspects of the job. The landscaping has greatly enhanced the curb appeal of our home.
Description of Work: Landscape design and installation for the front and rear yard of our home. Project involved installing a paver walkway, laying out the beds, mulching and conditioning the soil in the beds, planting trees and shrubs, and modifying the sprinkler system to better accomodate the new landscape.
During a previous engagement, Matt had his landscaper draw up plans to improve the backyard and add some landscaping. The initial plan for the landscaping looked nice, although it was also extremely expensive. With my feedback, they modified the the plans and started work. The work was scheduled ~3-4 weeks from signing the contract (reasonable considering the season and weather). Initially they came out to modify the existing irrigation system to support the new beds. They then started on the new beds (removing the sod, adding soil conditioner, and finishing with mulch and the selected plants. They then started digging the hole for the pond, and beginning initial layout of it. Lawn installation took a couple of days. After the pond was installed, they tested all of the irrigation heads and filled in the pond (they tied it into the irrigation system). Finally they removed the existing sod and resodded the backyard. At the end of each day, Matt's crew cleaned up after themselves (except for the first day they were working on the beds proper, when they left a couple of empty soda cans). They were careful to minimize their use of the driveway (i.e. for mulch / soil / rock dumps), and made sure the garage was still accessible even when they were working / having supplies delivered. The crew was friendly, and made sure to clean up at the end of each day.
Description of Work: Matt and his crew added multiple wrap around beds to my backyard, adjusted the irrigation system and installed a pond / water fall.
From start to finish any questions or concerns we brought up were addressed promptly and completely. Matt And his crew start early and work till dark if needed to make sure each days schedule is met. Their attention to detail and professionalism is impressive and shows in the finished product. We recommend this company to anyone seeking outstanding service and results. We will be hiring them again in the near future for another project in our back yard this time we will be doing a paver with an outdoor kitchen/ entertainment area.
Description of Work: Live Oak provided an estimate with a CAD drawing of the finished product. The drawing was left with us to review and change and question. The estimate and the drawing ended up being very close to the finished product. A 100 ft. retaining wall with drainage was constructed in less than a week. The wall contains 35 three gallon shrubs of nice quality plants. We purchased and Live Oak also transported and planted 3 palm trees for us. Embedded within the wall they also tied in to our sprinkler system with no leaks or problems. Before construction of the retaining wall we had serious drainage problems in our yard as well with the adjoining neighbor, Live Oak went to great lengths to remedy this problem. They also put in an oak tree and several other plants within a tiered step down bedding area that is also connected to the retaining wall. They built this as well. They brought in good soil as well as soil treatment, hardwood mulch, and commercial quality metal divider to separate our property from our neighbors. The project was finished off with re-sodding the entire section of the lawn that is adjacent to the retaining wall Pressure washing our entire driveway and the street in front of our house was a nice touch.
The process began with the draft of a landscape design, meetings with the homeowner, slight revisions to the design, and installation.The entire project is approximately one week away from completion. I am extremely satisfied with every aspect of the work. The owner of the company could not have been more prompt with the completion of every stage or more responsive to my questions. In addition, the landscape plan coming to life has truly exceeded expectations, and will certainly enhance the overall curb appeal in a major way.
Description of Work: All the landscaping was supplied for new construction. This includes site preparation, drainage, building retaining walls, installing sprinkler system, sod, and plants.

Description of Work: Live Oak Landscape Services has maintained our property since the end 2011 and we have been very happy with there service and attention to detail. We have almost .75 acre of property. That is a lot of ground to maintain with mowing, edging and cleaning up. They also trim grass around each base of our 36 trees in the back yard. All for a great and reasonable price. With each visit the crew is extremely thorough, neat and efficient. I do not give credit when it's not earned so please take this review very honest and sincere when I speak VERY highly of Live Oak Landscape. They are always on time to perform the lawn services as well as while they are on my property they show nothing but the absolute professionalism one would expect from a professional Lawn Service. We have decided to hire them for other services involving Hardscape's, landscapes around our property. Matt has spent several visit to our home to address any questions or concerns we have. Also to advice us on how to incorporate our ideas with his to make our property even more beautiful and functional. I look forward to working with Matt & Crew in the near future.

Matt and his Crew were very professional once they got started. Even though they started without telling me, they did an excellent job and worked around the contractor who was installing concrete edging around my house. One the first day, Matt's crew marked off the paver sidewalk, removed the sod, and dug the necessary trench for most of the sidewalk. At the end of the day they fixed all of the irrigation pipes they hit while digging. On the second day, they dropped off the gravel and sand necessary for the job. On the third day, they distributed the gravel / sand and compacted it. On the last 2 days, they hand cut all of the pavers to fit the sidewalks, and replaced the sod along the completed sidewalk. Each day, Matt's team took great care to clean up after themselves, and ensure the day's work was finished. The end result is excellent! Live Oak is probably not the cheapest, but their prices are fare, and the quality of their work defiantly shows.
Description of Work: Installed approximately 600 sq. ft of paver sidewalk and removed sod around existing concrete edging
Excellent !!!! The crew was very polite and cleaned up at the end of each day, it was like they were not even there.
Description of Work: Live Oak Landscape Services has maintained our property for the past two years and we have been very pleased with there service and attention to detail. We wanted to expand our outdoor patio and we worked with Matt on a design for a concrete paver patio and sidewalk. The work they did was amazing it only took a week and what a difference it has made for us in enjoying cookout s and party events at our home.

Overall, the project was excellent!
Description of Work: Excellent company! I got a quote the week before the work was performed and their response time was excellent. We pulled out all bushes in our front landscaping beds and he designed the new layout. We love our new beds and we even put in a fountain at Matt's recommendation. Couldn't have asked for better service. Don't hesitate using this company!
The project came together well. We came up with drawing of what we would like to have done to our outdoor living area. The contractor worked with us day in and day out to build a custom outdoor fireplace and living area. We let him choose the plants for the landscaping and he did an excellent job with his choices. The workmanship exceeded our expectations.
Description of Work: Live Oak Landscape Services built an outdoor brick fireplace for us. They also made an addition to our patio and landscaped the area around it. We have always had problems with grass growing in the shaded area between our house and our neighbors so they made a gravel/gray stone walkway between our houses. We were very pleased with the work Live Oak Landscape Services completed for us. We have had so many compliments on the addition. We would definitely recommend this company to anyone.
Very professional. True experts in their field. Never left until we were satisfied. Always available to discuss any issues.
Description of Work: Fantastic reliable service! I have been with Live Oak Landscape Services since June 2010. They have always gone the extra mile to satisfy my landscaping and lawn irrigation needs. Provided multiple comprehensive plans that included a detailed list of proposed plants, trees, labor, and materials -- all within my budget! The paver patio they installed is amazing! The stone edging was hand cut to ensure every piece fit exactly right -- true professionals! We were so satisfied with their service that we hired them to maintain our planter beds tri-annually. Very customer oriented! Highly recommended!

Prior to the 4th of July weekend, we requested an estimate for a french drain, sprinkler head repair, and lawn maintenance via Live Oak's website, www.goliveoaklandscaping.com. We chose them because the owner's yard, 19 houses from ours, speaks for itself. It is very nicely landscaped and extremely well-maintained. His work vehicles are professionally wrapped with the Live Oak logo, not just with some magnetic sign. Some days to a week later, I received an email response stating that the owner, Matt Lombardi, was on vacation. He apologized for the inconvenience and stated that he would call me upon their return. Did I mention he lives 19 doors down from us?! I received a call from Matt Lombardi, on or about 6 July that he would come by to provide an estimate between 3:30 and 4 p.m. on Tuesday 10 July. The date and time, came and went without Mr. Lombardi calling or showing up for the estimate. Did I mention that he lives 19 doors down from us?! I called Mr. Lombardi to set up another appointment, but I had to leave a message. He returned my call on 11 July and did not seem aware that we had an appointment. He fegined an apology and said that we would shoot for the same timeframe as before for 12 July and that he was going to enter it into his phone as soon as we hung up. Well, the new appointment date and time arrived but Mr. Lombardi did not. Did I mention that he lives 19 doors down from us?!
Description of Work: No services were provided. We merely requested an estimate for irrgation and landscaping work. The owner lives 19 houses away from us and never arrived for the appointment we made, TWICE!!! I can only imagine if we lived further than 19 houses away how poor the response would be!
