I have gotten quotes from them for fall leaf clean-up, tree work, and lawn fertilization, and find their prices to be on the high side. With these higher prices, one would expect excellence in the quality of the work as well as the professionalism of the company. I found both to be a bit lacking. My biggest complaint with the lawn mowing service is that the weed whacking (trimming) quality was awful. The kid they had doing it would zip around the yard without care and attention and burn the edge grass, till by mid-season it was dead. As the weeks went on, there was nothing left for him to trim as the grass in all the edge areas was dead. We discussed it to him as well as called the company about it on a couple occasions through the season and finally, by the end of the season, he began to put some care into his work, but it was too late for our grass. We will need to replant all the edge areas this spring.
Bill Lillie was here constantly checking on the work and in touch with us about the progress and details of the work.
Their stonework is guaranteed for life.
The project was very costly, but enhances the property so nicely and it beats having that old deck we had for 30 years that took up the entire backyard. The patio is giving us a lovely new living room outdoors.
We are thrilled with the result. It's absolutely beautiful.
We still need to do a lot of planting and landscaping on our own, or we may contract with them to do more. Stay tuned.
Scheduling was sometimes difficult as they are juggling multiple jobs and the weather. My smaller projects were fit in. Email communication has been fine.
I would use there services again.
It is still a nice,open shade tree. growing a bit close to the house, but with the tree(s) to the south removed, it is now getting lots of sun.
Asked Sprigs and Twigs to take a look., got a quick reply and an on-the- spot estimate (which I thought was a bit pricey). I decided to give them a try anyway. Set up a schedule, they called a day early and asked if and quot;nowand quot; was a good time. It was. They took care of the J maple, and gave me some good advice on taking care of smaller trees. An altogether positive experience.
We first met them in Connecticut and discussed some landscaping ideas on the basis of what we had seen them do on other properties in the neighborhood. They provided us with a property sketch, complete with plant descriptions, in both a PowerPoint presentation and a large paper map. This included installation of a gravel driveway bordered by railroad ties. We were so impressed that we asked them to provide some ideas for our New York home. Total cost was approx $5000. This was in 2006.
The work they did for us in New York was masterful. They used the same approach; but also educated us on what plants would work better in shade, the pros/cons of perennials vs annuals, etc. We decided to use them for a complete overhaul of the entire property. It turned out exactly as promised and significantly enhanced the value of our home. I recall they used students to do the installation. Total cost was approx $17000. This was in 2008.
We have since returned to Connecticut full time, and would definitely consider engaging them again.
"Over the years, (deleted member name) has found it necessary to send in multiple critiques of my company, each time giving us lower scores, even though we haven't worked for her for more than three years. Her critique this time is particularly baffling because the job she describes is completely different than anything we were ever contracted to do, so perhaps she has us confused with another company or she has just made it up. Specifically, 1)We never worked for her in 2011; (the last "tree work" we did for her was 2008 and that was stump grinding), 2) we never did a job for her valued at approximately $3,000, 3) the last time we worked for her was a spring cleanup in 2010, 4) for the clean-up work in 2010, there was a detailed, multi-page contract that specifically listed the work that she approved. We weeded, pruned and removed debris, etc.- cleanup type work. The contract did not call for planting annuals, the contract specifically stated that we were limited to using the 12 bags of mulch she already had purchased elsewhere (she didn't want to spend money on additional mulch). Sprigs & Twigs work speaks for itself, see www.SprigsandTwigs.net. I can be contacted directly at 860-235-0752 if you have and questions. Bill Lillie, CEO, Sprigs & Twigs, Inc"
They gave a window of time of about a month in which I would fall into their schedule, and said they would call the day before to verify the work. Yesterday the doorbell rang and it was them. They had finished a different job in my area early, so stopped to do the job then. The four guys that they sent to do the work were VERY professional. They got the job done very quickly and cleanly, cleaning up all leftover debris from the trees and even throwing in removal of an extra stump at the side of our yard at no extra cost.
I will definitely hire this company again for future work that needs doing on the property.
After taking measurements from that first visit, Linda returned with a large architectural drawing of our house and the garden designs. This was accompanied by a video presentation highlighting the various flowers, plants and trees that would be in each garden, so we could see height, colors, etc. Linda was very thorough and explained every detail to us during this two hour meeting. She also incorporates functionality into her designs – several plants attract butterflies to the yard and Linda also included herbs we could use for cooking.
On the day the gardens were installed, several trucks and people were on-site to get the job done. The crew clearly had assigned tasks and everyone got to work immediately. Linda was there as well directing the staff and placing the plants in the gardens. It was very impressive to watch so many people working as a team. The installation took nearly the entire day followed by clean up. Any debris, mulch, dirt, etc was swept up from the patio, porches and driveway. The crew left everything looking even better than before they arrived! No detail was overlooked. We highly recommend Sprigs and Twigs to anyone who wants beautiful gardens designed and installed by a very professional and detail-oriented company.
branch but the entire tree was compromised. I called for an estimate and
was quickly given what I felt was a very reasonable price to remove the
tree. The work was done within a week from the estimate, including honoring a coupon from the Angie's web site for stump grinding.. Everything was clean and I am very satisfied with Sprigs and Twigs.
