Mike Graumann Landscaping

To say I was happy with the service would be an understatement. I have had a terrible time with landscapers, some from here too, who don't do the job you want them to when you want them to do it. They don't show up on time, they drag their feet on delivering. I was at my wit's end. I looked on Angie's List and found mike and the reviews he had were positive. 

I called mike to feel him out and he wanted to come by the next day after I got home from work. He gave me a time and he was on time. I was shocked. He was so professional and knowledgeable. We had a plan that we purchased from our last failed landscaper and he looked it over and discussed what we were looking for. We shook hands and he told me I would have an estimate at a specific time. He delivered when he said he would and work commenced very quickly. My yard went from eyesore to envy of the block in 4 days.

I kid you not about that. Since our yard went in the neighbors have slowly been fixing up their dead lawns. Some come by and point at our plants and then I see similar ones show up in their yards. 

The great thing about mike is that he is very easy to communicate with. He and his team are professional, PUNCTUAL, and they do what they say they will do. The estimate I received was transparent and fair and he delivered under budget. He even checked in on us a few weeks afterwards to tweak the sprinklers and see how things were going. If you want someone who is dependable look no further. You just found him.

Mike is a very personable individual and it was easy to establish a good working rapport with him.  His crew was very professional and took pride in thier work.  The project took about 3 days to complete.  They first lay a foundation for the retaining wall complete with rebarb.  The second day was spent building the rock retaining wall--a very labor intensive process, as the crew was carefully selecting each individual rock and dry fitting it before laying it in.  The third day (about a half day) was spent dressing up the mount and planting.  
When I was not happy with one of the plants (dwarf split maple) that Mike had selected, (No problem), Mike took me to the local nursery and we picked one that I was happy with.  The end of each the crew took time to clean the area up before leaving.

He is great. He cleaned up my front and backyard last year. The services he has provided have worked out pretty well for me. I would use him again in the future if necessary.
