Description of Work: We waited over a month for service, things started well, I requested to the owner and the supervisor what I wanted accomplished, but after the workers left, owner showed for payment, I was not watching all the time what the workers were doing and discovered our beautiful pine tree was butcherd! For some reason they decided to cut several branches at the bottom to make it look like a shrub? There was not mention at all to do any trimming on this tree, I had actually requested some rose bushes to be moved to another location to give this pine tree a better presentation and more room to grow. I don't understand why if they did not ask us before they even touched this tree? They also did not cover our front steps and walkway and left dirt every where, we had just powerwashed the area a few days before, the owner was also not satisfied and called her supervisor back to clean it up, but they were not coming back? We have not been living at this location and had been power washing our fence in the back of the property because we are in need to now sell our home. The owner insisted on cleaning it up some, which we did not want to spend the time because we had a 2 hour drive to do and it was dark at that time. |Not a good experience at all, no communication since all the workers could not speak any English, except the supervisor who was there all the time. This tree looks horrible now and because of the size would cost several hundred dollars to replace and it's right in front of our property. It's not going to help us market our property now.

Despite this poor review, we still have an A rating with Angie's List. If I could post a picture here, you would see that there is absolutely nothing wrong with this woman's tree. We did for her the same A quality work we do for everyone else. From the time I met the lady and her husband, they were unhappy. They seemed unhappy about everything. We really spruced up their yard, did a lot of transplanting, made many suggestions on how we could make it look better that very day and we did so. Everything was perfectly cleaned and neat when I left. The woman paid the bill. Overnight she stopped payment. I learned from a neighbor that they have done this to other contractors. The neighbor felt the yard looked better than it ever had before. I know in my heart we did nothing wrong at this customer's home. I think the complaints were her way of getting out of paying a bill. You meet all kinds of people when working with the public, but in over 20 years I have never had anyone do this to the company.

As always, we call and discuss what we need and they come out and do the job perfectly. They are always there when they say they will be, always do a beautiful job and are pleasant to deal with. Whether the job is big or small, our home is always left looking clean and manicured. We would recommed them to everyone.

Not well. The owner (Joy) came to look at our property and provide some ideas. She was not helpful. She was condescending. No sample materials were left behind for us to peruse in order to make the best decisions. When she called back to clarify and get more information from us she was, again, condescending......and not willing to admit that my inquiries were reasonable. We are disappointed....as almost every other professional we have hired to assist us in getting our new home settled has been friendly, helpful, and accommodating.

The gentlemen writing this review is NOT the person I met with. I met with his partner and we had a very good discussion about what they wanted and what their choices were. This gentlemen called later as he was not available for the appointment. He asked about different kinds of stone and was annoyed that I didn't leave samples. His partner never asked for samples and I would have happy to provide them if I had known what they were looking for. It is unfortunate, but as a contractor we try to provide excellent service to all people. Sometimes people don't like you for one reason or another. Sometimes personalities do not mesh. I had a very nice discussion at the customer's home with his partner, but NOT with [members name]. His comments come from one short phone conversation. It happens sometimes! This is certainly not reflective of other folks comments.

Met with Joy and walked the property to discuss placement and plant choices. She was very honest about what would work in our area and with the amount of water involved. That meant most of my original ideas were out. She spent a good amount of time coming up with alternates that worked out perfectly. The plan and plantings were just what I envisioned and the plant quality was superior. Jobe managed the project. The workers were courteous and worked very hard. There was a good amount of digging to be done on ground that was rather hard. I am not from the area, but found the prices were reasonable compared to what we experienced at our primary home near a large city.
Description of Work: Removed existing sod, edged bed, fertilized and mulched Planted 5 trees, 2 shrubs. They also staked the large trees. Buried 3 downspouts. One was under a sidewalk and was a tough job. Planted one very large patio planter and 2 smaller planters. Joy researched lighting options for me, but we did not have that work done.

Joy met with us and we walked around our yard reviewing current plantings and what we would like to do. She had her fence contractor come out and talk with us as well. Joy and I spoke about plant options and she has a lot of knowledge and good suggestions. We are going to receive estimates soon.
Description of Work: At our last meeting we discussed landscape design and a fence for our backyard. We have been using Jobe's since August with great results. They are doing a very thorough job on our lawn and landscape maintenance. We are very happy with their service and the staff is very good to deal with.

We went with Jobes even though they were slightly more expensive than another estimate we received since we preferred to go with a reputable company. They were kind enough to work on a Saturday to accommodate our schedule even though they typically don't work on Saturdays. The owner/lead (Joy) arrived on time with the workers and walked through what had to be done. Then she left. The workers were very cordial and hard working and followed-through on everything. I would definitely use them again.

Jobes did an excellent job. Before work began, we walked the property with the owner, Joy Tomer, who evaluated the job and made suggestions on improvements. We have never used a landscaper before because we were always concerned about the use of pesticides. We are strong believers in not using pesticides, and especially because this property is near the ocean. Part of the reason we used Jobes is because they also are not in favor of using pesticides to control weeds and vines. Because our property was so overgrown, it took Jobes 4 workers and 2.5 days of non-stop work to get our property cleaned up. We were so impressed with results. We cannot emphasize how impressed we were with the work ethic of Jobes' employees. Not only were the employees polite and accommodating, they were some of the hardest working individuals we have ever encountered. Our property now looks fantastic. We continue to use Jobes on a monthly basis to maintain our property.
Description of Work: A thorough cleaning and landscaping of our front yard.

Started with being 45 mins late for the appt, proceeded to get out their car only to tell me that I located to far from their office to lawn service. I live in Millsboro 1/2 mile from the intersection of 24 and 5. Their office is 5.65 miles from house to their office door. However they would be more than happy to do my landscaping needs. I said no thank you.

I remember this customer specificially. I was late for the appointment, but I called her and left a message saying that I had been delayed in the office because an unexpected customer stopped in to discuss a job. She was angry when I arrived. Unfortunately her property was out of our range for grass cutting. We stick to the Lewes/Rehoboth area because we are a small company with limited equipment. We can't go in an opposite direction for one job for $30. It just isn't feasible. We could go on a one time basis or even monthly for landscaping. We drive many miles for landscaping projects. She was simply too angry that we were not able to come in her direction to cut grass to consider any landscaping possibilities. We strive for 100% customer satisfaction and are at about 99.5%. It is very difficult to satisfy all people all the time.

We appreciate your positive review. Our price might be a bit higher than some other companies, but the quality of the work, the quality of the plants and our lifetime warranty on paver projects is what causes this. We prefer to everything we do at a premium level - best plants, best amendments, best quality sod. Nothing we do is ever mediocre. For those cokpanies doing a lesser quality work, their prices are lower.

I am the type who likes a little "heads-up" when people are going to be working on my property so I can make sure the dog is sufficiently restrained and in case there are any questions about the project, I am on hand to answer them. Well, after waiting six weeks for work to begin two workers finally showed up at my house and I wasn't home. No problem, my wife is there and will be able to address any questions that may arise. The guys started by marking the lines where the walls were to be placed using spray paint/chalk. When they finished marking the lines the can of paint was set on the back bumper of there truck (Keep this in mind as it becomes relevant later). The one worker then starts up his chainsaw and starts cutting the sod to lay drainage pipes. What!? Joy said no digging would be required so she didn't "one-call" the job to mark the underground utilities. Big mistake! The guy cuts right through the FIOS fibre optic cable and now my neighbor is without phone, internet and TV. While the guy is standing there dumbfounded, he knocks the spray paint can off the back bumper of his truck and - KABOOM! It hits the ground and explodes all over our grass, driveway, and my wife's van. At this point my wife runs out of the house and grabs the hose desperately trying to wash the paint off her van. Once things settled down and construction resumed the guys proceed to build the wall and lay it right over the junction box for the FIOS connection they had just unearthed. My wife instructed them to please go around it but they would not listen. They seemed more interested in finishing the job quickly than finishing the job correctly. We contacted Joy and expressed our concerns. She said the wall would be rebuilt and acted like she was doing me a "favor", even sending me an invoice with a late charge assessed. The workers have rebuilt the wall, again showing up on my doorstep without notice. I was truly disappointed with my experience after having read such great reviews about Jobe's. I will be looking elsewhere for any future landscaping needs and I suggest you do the same.
Description of Work: I contracted Jobe's Landscaping to construct two 20'-22' field stone retaining walls.

We are sorry that this individual had difficulties with us. The line that was cut was just under the soil level and it was his neighbor's and not his I couldn't have known that his neighbor's wire was on his property. We completed his job to the exact specifications that appeared on his contract. Later he wanted it changed to different specs. Most contractors would do a change order and charge for the change. We did it over to satisfy him at no charge at all. I think that was very fair. We try so hard to please everyone. That is why we didn't charge him to do the job two times. Unfortunately that didn't please either, nevertheless we continue to try to always do our best.

See above. I was pleasantly surprised when I was told the actual cost came in well below the estimate. Joy is responsive, wants to do the right thing, and has integrity. All contractors should be this good.
Description of Work: I asked Jobes to clean the leaves off my property just a few days ago. They promptly provided an estimate of 3 hours x 3 men. Today they did the work and at the end of the day, Joy emailed me to let me know it only took 2 hours and I would only be charged for the actual time. Her integrity, in addition to the promptness and her responsiveness, are refreshing and unusual. Joy and her team are the way it's supposed to be.
