The other two firms were also very professional and I am pretty confident that their work is good. All three were pretty close in price.
But Mike of Sustain Scape was the only one who really read and responded to all the items in the brief that I had prepared. Mike's design reflected the needs and the style I had outlined. And, in addition, he brought ideas that improved it in many ways, all based on the problems that I had outlined in the brief, as things I wanted solved.
As professionals, we all like to stick to the things we have done before, to produce a result that has worked before. But Mike had the confidence to respond to my difficult requests with very creative ideas for things that they don't do every day, and then execute them flawlessly.
Mike has very high standards. When he inspected one piece of stonework that I thought looked fine, he had his crew tear it down partially and rebuild it the way he wanted it. And his crew works to very high standards. They consistently surprised me with the extra bit of thought and quality that they put into their work. I see it and appreciate it in little details every day as I enjoy my front yard.
Bottom line: Sustain Scape exceeded my very high expectations.
Mike cancelled the first two appointments and then finally sent his assistant, Kris out for the initial call. While Kris was so wonderful and helpful, I had hired Mike to create the landscape design. She took pictures of my patio area and said Mike would come back out to meet with me before creating the design. I didn't hear from him and had to call him to schedule a time for him to come out. He created a very simple hand drawing of my backyard. While it looked pretty in different colors, the only thing "new" that he designed was a small curved area of the patio; the rest was something I had already said I wanted to do. There was no CAD diagram, which I wanted so it would be easy to make modifications to the design as needed. When I called Mike again to come out to tweak the design, he said he was busy and scheduled for a week out. He never showed up and had his assistant call 5 minutes before the appointment to say he couldn't make it.
He never called to apologize or reschedule. I decided not to use his services and hired Think Green Landscaping, who not only did an amazing design and used the CAD program, but it was FREE and their customer service and final product was amazing.
It's extremely unprofessional to charge someone $250 for a design fee and then provide poor customer service and a ridiculously simplistic partial design, as well as make no effort to meet with the client to review/modify the design. Buyer beware on expecting a good design and customer service from this company. Sadly I was hoodwinked and lost out on $250 but at least did not give this company the thousands of dollars I spent on my new patio.

"I’m sorry you had a bad experience with Sustain Scape. We had been in business many years and we have always had the same policies when it comes to designs. There are other companies out there that do design work for free but we are not one of them. Our office staff makes sure that our fee structure is explained to all clients before we schedule an appointment because we do not want to waste the time of potential clients nor our staff. We do have a back log of jobs and appointments and we did schedule an appointment for Tuesday the 4th of March with when she called our office because that was the first opening that our staff had to meet( Monday was not an option for our staff due to other meetings scheduled). We did get a call from Mrs. on Monday sounding very annoyed that we did not show up for our appointment. Once our office manager checked into the problem we called back to make her aware that her appointment was not scheduled until the next day, Tuesday the 4th of March. I’m sorry you had it written down wrong on your calendar. When our staff met with and she wanted Sustain Scape to draw out a conceptual design for her back yard patio area. She wanted to see a plan which included design work to fit in existing hardscape elements with new elements, layout and design/incorporate unused landscape areas for additional patio areas in back yard and a planting plan. With this scope of work we need to do a design and there are fees associated with that scope of work. We do give free estimates for hardscape installations and to bid on others plans but she had requested more which required a design fee deposit."
Fair price, always good work. Mike's crew is knowledgeable and professional. They are respectful of the plants and do not just chop things down.
