Landscape Yard or Garden Installation
I was overcharged ? the price was changed after the project was completed, and I received no help with designing the space. This was not made clear to me during the initial phases of the project. Other contractors typically include design guidance, but I was left to figure out plant selections and their placement myself, which was time-consuming and frustrating, especially as I?m not an expert in landscaping. Roy overpromised and underdelivered. The team that came to do the physical work, led by Hugo, was fine, but I expected a professional service that included both design and supervision ? not something I had to manage myself. I was also charged $185 for a tree rose without being told its price in advance, adding to my dissatisfaction. Overall, I had a very bad experience with Roy and Nick. They are dishonest, and you may end up with a much higher bill than initially quoted. I wish I had researched their reviews more carefully before hiring them, and I would not recommend them.
Response from NatureWorks
"Her final bill went down by $189.50? So obviously she is a liar. She asked to replace her timer and do other work as well. So some of the materials went up as we're not going to donate and install things for free when the customers add things on. This is copied and pasted from her email (I am happy with the team on the ground. They did a great job) So to give 1 star across the board is just do to me insisting that she doesn't cheat us on the final bill. Had I gave in and allowed her to succeed at her crooked attempt to cheat us she wouldn't have written this review. There were only a few plants on her job and half the plants went into her pots. There was nothing to design just to select a few plants which we helped her with. Her job was $2,000.00 and we gave her guidance but she was mad because she had to spend a little time discussing her project. So guess she is just too lazy to spend a little time to discuss her project. Unfortunately there are bad people in the world, some are contractors and some are the customers that want to short pay the bill and make up a bunch of false claims to try and cheat you. Most people only write reviews when they're unhappy unfortunately. She had a deadline to have the job done within 2 weeks so she was rushing us and pushing us. Very poor planning and lack of common sense on her part. Who waits until the last minute to hire someone if they have a deadline? We met her deadline and she said the guys did a great job, the bill was less than expected. What kind of person gets mad just because they have to give input on their own project? What an appalling liar to say someone could get a higher bill than expected when her bill went down, what a disgraceful human being. So she wants to complain about the one item that went up but not what went down. These are copied and pasted from her final invoice. Decreased quantity of 5 gal. plants from 9 to 1. (-$544.00) > Added 1 5 gal spec plants. (+$185.00) I would take a $544.00 credit over $185.00 increase anytime, so there's the truth. The job was done in half a day and she was showering my staff with compliments and saying what a great job we did."

My wife and I are extremely pleased with the work done by Natureworks. It was a joy to work with a Director of design, Nick. Also, the foreman of the job, Basil, was easy to work with, and very responsive to requests The crew left the job site very clean each night. We are really impressed with their expertise in planning and implementing that plan. We have a new patio area, beautiful new grass, plants and trees. We wholeheartedly endorse Natureworks!

The owner did not supervise his guys, who were not working the full hours expected. Each week we probably lost 7.5hr x 3-4 guys due to starting late and finishing an hour before the time I was told. When I informed the owner, he did not do anything about it, but then tried to charge me over the quoted price, because the job took longer than expected.
Response from NatureWorks
"The client was directing my guys and micro managing the whole project and never told us she was unhappy."

They have not started. I found it very awkward that there was no sketch or drawing provided upon having a contract with no start date. They asked for a down payment. In my world this is not how you gain new customer. I hope they come through and deliver. Just don't have a good feeling at this point.
Response from NatureWorks
"This review was before the job was done? We never take a down payment, it's called a deposit and given this job was only $2,000.00 that would me a $200.00 deposit. On the drawing or design we are happy to do one if the client pays for it. But usually on such a small job we would not suggest paying $1,500.00 to $2,000.00 for a design when the job itself is only $2,000.00"

NatureWorks did a great job, the owner spent time with before to explain the options and to hear and listen to what I was looking for. The work exceeded my expectations - the crew were efficient and friendly - it is clear Natureworks is focused on doing their BEST job at every job, whether it is a smaller project or large one. I would highly recommend Natureworks - you will not be disappointed. We are selling our home and know the landscape job Natureworks did will showcase our home to get the best price and give next owners years of pleasure. with beautiful/low maintenance yard.

The team was excellent. They worked with us to develop a landscape plan that we liked and really needed. They let us make changes to the contract when we ran into problems with the neighbors about the fence, and made suggestions on other areas of the yard. They were prompt and efficient and did an outstanding job fixing our sprinkler system. We wished we had called them years ago.

Nick is a wonderful landscape designer. He not only has a sense of what the customer wants but also how to integrate it all without the final design looking forced or cookie cutter. I could not be happier with the end product.

They were very unprofessional. They were late kept trying to add cost to the invoice after the fact. The end product was horrible. The colored concrete patio is cracked in more then 6 places and the color is uneven. The retaining wall they put in done very sloppy. I have file a complaint with the BBB and the contractors board.
Response from NatureWorks
"Most people with an IQ over 50 will realize that if you add work it cost more. We explained to this person that concrete may crack. We had 2 shrinkage cracks. Her boyfriend or her took a hammer and chisel and tried to make the cracks appear worse. If the end product was horrible why pay? Another lie. She complimented my crew all the way through the project. We even sent her a material refund after the job was finished. The Contractors Board said her complaint was not legitimate her complaint was dismissed with prejudice not to be reopened. I don't belong to the BBB as they have no jurisdiction over Contractors, it is a waste of time."

Is the company perfect? No, but I'm glad we used them. We obtained quotes from 6 different companies and found this company to be the lowest bidder. That's not the only reason we used them, however. We were charmed by owner Roy Marks' personality and knowledge. When we met his sidekick, Nick Libby, we knew we had made the right decision. Nick not only designed our yard (at no additional cost), he also took us to a nursery to look over the plants we desired, patiently answered many questions, and guided us through the process. Our yard is now beautiful. Amazing! Downside: calls aren't quickly returned but they're worth waiting for.

Roy Mark and his team were terrific. My project consisted of several small jobs: mending a stone wall, replacing and repairing a drainage system, upgrading and repairing an irrigation system and planting several areas around the house. It took them a day and a half during which time they made recommendations that cut my costs. The final plantings look fantastic and will clearly grow in to complement the space. I would not hesitate to hire them again or to recommend them. Thanks to Servicemagic for the recommendation.

NatureWorks was a pleasure to work with. Roy Mark did the estimating and the company presentation. He had the companies insurance, worker's comp and reference information available for my viewing. NatureWorks has their own employees. When Jeff and his crew arrived for work, they were like family. Some had worked together 20 years. Jeff took the time to go over the job to fully understand what we wanted. He involved us in any changes that would change the look of the project. The crew was well organized and cleaned up at the end of the day. The job site was spotless when the project was finished. Our garden wall is beautiful!

Not happy with result. Poor workmanship. Contractor's subsequent comments concerning our project are patently false. Potential clients considering this contractor may also wish to visit the BBB site where they will find an unsatisfactory BBB rating.
Response from NatureWorks
"We said that concrete may crack when it drys at the start of the project. He was unhappy with a couple minor cracks.I guess some people will never be happy. But our reviews speak for themselves.We also did a fire pit, Travertine patio,stucco retaining walls, remodeled his outdoor kitchen,planting,that all turned out great! I also took a few customers by to look at the job after completion. They said it looked outstanding! I don't use the BBB as when responding to this persons complaint I was hacked by somone using there e-mail and lost my computer to a virus. The Contractors Board has jurisdiction,this is where legitimate complaints are filed"
