Seth Pompey Landscaping

Overall the project was fantastic, and Seth was great to work with. From taking the concept my wife had, Seth drew up a plan with everything she asked for, and we were able to scale back where needed for budgeting purposes, so he helped us rework from the original design to where we ultimately landed. Timing - he began on time, and finished early. Project lasted a total of 5 weeks. Budget - he was spot on to the original budget. We did make changes to some items, and he kept a running change list that was helpful to keep us on track. Team - The guys were amazing, and took exceptional pride in their work. I got to chat them up quite a bit, and they’ve been with Seth for many years - which was an awesome sign, because I’m guessing you don’t stay of things aren’t going well. They were here everyday from 7-3:30, and the few times that they weren’t, we had a heads up. We even got a heads up when it wouldn’t be the full crew. Communication - pretty sharp, zero complaints here. We knew what was going on, when it was happening, and Seth was here almost everyday for at least a period of time. Overall, they were great - and we will use them again for our front yard, hopefully sooner rather than later.

I am in property management so I deal with contractors on a regular basis. When doing any major project I always get a minimum of 3 bids, first to make sure pricing is in line and most important to insure I am dealing with a contractor that appears to know what they are talking about. Once I receive the bids I ask for a minimum of 3 references. I have found that one of the most important things to do is look at a contractors work and interview people they have worked for. I actually visited 6 jobs Seth Pompey Landscaping did and personally visited with 3 of his customers. One thing they all had in common was how happy they were with Seth and his crew. My job consisted of a major remodel of my front and rear yards. This included removing my front and rear yards grass and all shrubbery, landscaping, water lines, sprinkler systems, gas lines and drains. After removal everything was replaced with fresh new plants, trees and sod. Seth was very engaging, walking me thru the process steep by steep. Not only was he extremely helpful, he and his crew were very flexible, allowing me to make changes along the way and in some cases not creating any additional cost. Seth even made recommendations along the way which proved to be helpful as well. Seth has surrounded himself with true craftsmen, artist's that know masonry inside and out. They created mow strips, planters faced with small stones, a fire-pit with large natural rock benches and a large cascading waterfall. All of which put the finishing touches on the landscaping he provided. In addition Seth personally took me to 4 nurseries walking isle by isle hand picking each plant, shrub and tree to be used in my yard. While doing so he made sure I was picking the right plant for the right area. I can't say enough about Seth and his staff, they are a class act, one I HIGHLY recommend.

Very happy with the work performed

We couldn't be happier with the results - we called several local landscapers for estimates and after meeting with them all we decided to go with Seth - his price was not the lowest however his estimated timeline to get the job done was what we were looking for - fast and efficient - he also worked with us changing the scope around to work with our budget and offering creative solutions - his estimated time to finish the job was 2 weeks but Seth and his amazing crew got the job done in 1 week - we would defiantly use Seth again and highly recommend him

it went great

Seth, although he and his crew are quite busy, were great to work with throughout the project. Seth was always there to help us with suggestions and choices. He took the time to listen to what WE were interested in doing and did his best to work with that. Their quality of work was excellent. Issues and problems always occur during projects of this size. Fewer issues than expected arose during the project, but they were very good about taking care of the few minor issues that did arise. The workers have been working together for a long time and know what they are doing. We have no difficulty in recommending them.

This place is a rock star contractor. Best contractor I have worked with in 20 years. That is said with being a property manager for the last 20 years and I can safely say Seth is the best contractor and best crew I have worked with compared to any contractors. Just completed a 2nd job with same results. Again in 2017 at another property a new patio pour, and a full new front yard, sod, sprinklers, lights, and plants. all went 100% well again.

Crew was prompt and did a great job. there were a few adjustments that had to be made to the original plans and satisfactory solutions were arrived at.

They got the sprinklers to work, which the last couple of landscapers that I had, yea I guess they were landscapers, had not been able to get them to work properly. They gave me an estimate for some other work and I thought it was extraordinarily high so I did not call them for the extra other work.

It went really well. Seth and his crew were so easy to work with..They did a great job. I strongly and eagerly recommend them to anybody wanting landscaping work done.

Seth is very professional, knowledgeable  and courteous.  Trusted him with his ideas on landscaping both front and back yards.  Very happy with his work and get lots of compliments from the neighbors.  Highly recommend.

Seth was excellent to work with.  He designed all the plans and delivered as promised on time and within budget. Seth's crew was always on time and very professional to work with.  I would highly recommend Seth Pompey Landscaping to all my friends and family!

Removed all the dead grass and expanded the planting areas, kept one small area of grass since the cats do eat grass once in a while, the two small walls created a nice accent in the back end of the yard and split the hilly part of the yard and we use these small walls to place succulent planters.  The steps make it easy to navigate this hilly part.
two trees were planted one was a semi dwarf orange tree and the other one was a mesquite tree, which requires very little water, gravel was placed where  there was no grass and slate stepping stones create a nice pathway.
The job took about two weeks, we were told 3 weeks, but it actually only took two.  The workers were all very polite and came every day at the same time.  Overall we are really happy with the job
We hired Seth because he seemed to understand what we wanted was able to make suggestions that we adopted, listened to our concerns and wants and the price was very reasonable

At first it was extremely frustrating trying to find the right person to help us with our backyard project.  We thought we would handle this project like most we do, one contractor at a time, handling the overall management of the project ourselves.  But we came to realize that that kind of coordination would be beyond our capabilities in this instance.  Then we found Seth Pompey on Angie's List and after meeting him and discussing our vision we felt very confident in choosing him to do our entire backyard project.  It has been an absolute pleasure working with Seth from beginning to end.  He is personable, reliable and extremely knowledgeable in his field.  We felt he gave us a fair price, including when we came up with things we wanted to add to the project as it went along.  Once we decided on the scope of the project, he drew up a contract with beginning and end dates, which he adhered to despite the additional work we requested.  His crew showed up every day on time and worked hard, cleaned up after they finished, were pleasant and personable.  He brought in "specialists" to handle some of the aspects of the project, such as the guy with the lighted bobcat who swooped in after dark around 6 p.m. and quickly cleared away the hillside area to make ready for the new retaining wall, all while our grandson watched wide-eyed from the kitchen window.  The new color concrete patio and walkways look great and drain well; Seth suggested we use a decorative edge treatment for the two areas of steps that really make an impact in the overall look of the patio.  He got us together with a patio cover guy who we ultimately used, though not part of this bid, but a great reference none the less.  We met with Seth at a local nursery to identify the types of plants we wanted for our yard.  His knowledge of plants was evident as he answered our many questions and discussed our preferences.  We were so impressed with how quickly things happened throughout the project; it definitely did not drag on.  At one point, Seth told us he'd like to use drip irrigation for the landscaping on our hill and within about an hour of our conversation, an irrigation supply truck pulled up with the materials!  Because they needed to use the lawn area next to our driveway for staging materials during the project, Seth took it upon himself to install new sod and irrigation in this area with no additional cost to us!  Without a doubt, we will want to use Seth again when we get ready to do our front yard landscaping.

Seth and his team did an excellent job and did it quickly.  The job was finished a couple of weeks ahead of his original estimate.  I can't say enough about the quality of the work.  Seth noticed a hairline crack in the concrete just outside the front porch soon after the concrete pour and told me he wanted to find a way to fix it since it was in such a prominent area.  A few days later something fell on a slab near the front resulting in another hairline crack.  Seth had all the cracked slabs taken out and re-poured that same day.  The replacement concrete blended in perfectly with the original even though it was a custom color.  Seth was also very tolerant of changes along the way and good at tactfully saving us from questionable choices by explaining why he thought something should be done a certain way.  We plan to have the back yard redone at some point, and will definitely be hiring Seth to do it.

The project went great! The team showed up every day early, clear on what they were to do and were ready to start at 7:30.  They worked the entire day, never stopping unless it was lunch time or for reasonable breaks. They weren't loud or disruptive and were always willing to answer any questions.  At the end of each day before leaving they cleaned up their tools, supplies and left the work area ready to be used. 

Our entire family was pleased and impress!  The backyard looks great! Would use them again in a flash!

This company is run the way a company should be ran. The workers were here on time, they did exactly what they were suppose to do. Seth said it could take 3 days to get the work done, they got it done in 2 days. We are very happy with their work, I would highly recommend Seth Pompey Landscaping. This will be our go to landscaping company. We found it very hard to find someone who would fix the pools tiles, everyone we called said the job was too small or we only redo pools, we couldn't even get a handyman out. Thank You Seth!

Decided to give Angie's list a try, and contacted Seth. I gave him my budget, and he went to work to construct a plan. Seth is a great person! punctual, kind, and professional. 
Seth and his amazing crew were able to get the work done right away, as we wanted to host a party and have the backyard completed. They finished on time, were considerate, and work was great. 
Update: Contacted Seth about drip valve leakage, portions of the sod that died, and some drainage concerns. He came by yesterday (9/10/14) to look at the problems and promised to send a guy out to fix all of the minor concerns. Will keep you posted. I really appreciate the fact that Seth was easy to get ahold of, and that he showed up to address my concerns.

Seth and his crew did an outstanding job with our project. We had a basic plan of what we wanted to do prior to Seth coming out, but he made a few suggestions and modifications that really made a difference in the finished product. The crew was out early each day and were gone promptly at 3:30 which we appreciated very much as we have dogs that need to get out in their yard. Once the job was started, the crew came out every day until the job was completed. They also took the time each day before leaving to clean up any messes that were created. Another plus was Seth always communicated very well with us, returning our calls or e-mails promptly. We have had experiences with contractors in the past that would not show up or return our phone calls, but this didn't happen with Seth. He showed up when he said he would and he would let us know if he was running late. Seth and his crew also finished the job in less than two weeks time which was way ahead of schedule.

We couldn't be happier with our experience and we would definitely use him again.

We bought our house 3 years ago from a contractor who flipped it and in the process, went bankrupt.  Unfortunately, we didn't know it until after we moved in that he took a lot of shortcuts--including the back yard.  He punched and sunk the pool, but put very little fill dirt on top.  He then put in sprinkler piping, but on top of the sunk pool patio, so the sprinkler heads stood significantly above ground, AND he only did 2/3 of the yard, the other third he dumped wood chips.  So one-third of the yard didn't have sprinklers to grow anything.  After three years, the yard sunk a little more and the wood chips turned to dirt and mud, which the dogs tracked in--it was a mess and looked awful.  We are on a cul-de-sac and have a beautiful backyard view--except for our yard.  We have only used a contractor twice before and one took our money and ran and the other was excellent--neither through Angie's list, because we didn't know about Angie's back then.  That's a 50% failure rate.  We were very careful this time and got a couple of quotes, both through Angie's list.  Seth's was a little higher, but he presented himself extremely professionally and didn't try to push something on us that we didn't need. We are more concerned with quality than price--still very reasonable!! Seth came out, listened to what we had to say and provided a quote within the time he said he would. From the beginning, Seth and his crew (Sergio and guys) were professional, courteous and prompt!  They came when they said they would and if something came up, they called.  The cut and took the grass, broke up the cement from the pool so they could bury the sprinkler piping deep!  They then brought in beautiful topsoil and then, the cherry on top--the sod.  Seth turned our yard from an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan.  Actually, we just got home from work a little while ago, which was the day they put the sod down.  We can't stop looking at it!!!  Although we have dogs and know it won't remain "perfect," we're in a lot better situation to take care of it on our own, especially since we have sprinklers that work and throughout the whole lawn!!  We CANNOT say enough good things about Seth.  We would hire him again in an instant, and have already spread the word to family and friends about this good work.  Things happen and no one's perfect, but it's the way you address and take care of the customer in the end that makes all the difference!!!  Thank you, Seth.  The angels were looking out for us when they pointed us to you!!
