"Hello (removed member name), thank you very, very much for the kind words in your review. We all thoroughly enjoyed working with you and your husband on the front yard project.

"Hi Mr. (member name removed), thank you so very much for the response on Angie's List. We certainly enjoyed working with you and are very appreciative of the opportunity and your patience with our schedule. I hope you are enjoying the new stairs. We look forward to the next project! Neil Kain Kain Landscape, Inc."
Our special thanks to Rob, who cared as much about the outcome of this work as we did ourselves. He was a steadying force and such a valuable consultant. As I watched their crew, I was so impressed with their dedication. They're a hard-working, meticulous team. Every single one of them takes such pride in their work! I was truly amazed to watch the care that they put into each part of the project. I never once saw them cut a corner or fail to respond to us.
For a family like ours, this is a once-in-a lifetime effort. Neil Kane and his team have made the journey a joy.
I've been using them for the past 2 years. They have someone of the hardest working staff. They studied my back yard and added the appropriate landscaping according to my back yard.
"Hi [removed member name] Thank you so very much for the nice comments. We, as well very much enjoyed working with you and Tim and are looking forward to the upcoming projects this summer. Neil Kain"

"Hi (removed member name), Thank you both so very much for the opportunity. We thoroughly enjoyed working with you on your new back yard escape. It pleases us that you both are very happy with the results of the new area. Jobs like yours that seem difficult, end up being a lot easier when you are working with understanding follks like yourselves referring to the weather challenges. All in all, I believe it turned out great and, again, we are thrilled that y'all are happy with everything. Thank you again and we look forward to the next adventure!!!"
This is what he was to do:
*Clean the front yard beds of all debris, weeds, poison ivy, vines and roots etc. (It was a mess)
*Rough & Final Grading / Soil Amendments to 4 beds - we had a huge grading issue and after the clean up they would bring in fresh dirt and grade appropriately.
*Plant 328 plants, shrubs, ground cover within the 3 beds - left and right of front porch and front island; yes - 328 is the correct number
*Hardwood mulch in and around the 3 beds with plants and one additional without plants- Per our request we didn't want pine straw
*Add one vent well - installed to the house with masonry screws where requested
*Install stone retaining wall on the side of driveway dirt mound - stones were provided by us

We received a detailed quote and waited for the plants to come in and to be put on the schedule. It did take more time than we would have liked to get everything finished, but I feel that is normal. Everyone wants immediate results once they have made a decision to move forward.
I would like to add that there were several revisions to the quote in order to accommodate our budget.
The job took 2 1/2 days and the yard has transformed to a well manicured, low maintenance, clean looking yard. Kain Landscaping and Neil Kain are worth the wait to get what you want. I do believe that we could have received a better price and maybe even a quicker turn around with another company but I also believe that the quality wouldn't be the same. Neil has spent more time than I expected he would be wiling to spend on answering my questions - before, during and now after the process. He has always responded to emails and telephone calls to assist us through this project. I also have no doubt that he will continue to answer my questions should I have any. Neil has a true passion for what he does and that is obvious.
The bulk of the job was completed last Friday before the Memorial Day holiday - however we were a few plants short so Neil came back out today to install the remaining plants and walk the job with me again answering questions about maintenance etc before I paid him the balance due. What an honest company and guy to come out and finish planting the few that were missed. With 328 plants, I would imagine that most other companies would have figured that we wouldn't notice...of course we would have eventually - but we didn't have to ask for him to do the right thing.
All in all, we are extremely happy and look forward to the plants growing and continuing to improve our once bad curb appeal. You may have to wait a bit to get everything done, but I assure you that you won't regret your decision to go with Neil Kain and Kain Landscaping.
"WOW (Member name removed)!!!! Thank you so very much for the great review. We really, really appreciate it. I will look forward to sharing this review with all of the crew. They will appreciate it as well. We did enjoy working with you and we are grateful for your patience above all. As well, we look forward to helping with the back yard clean up and new landscape in the future. Next time though, I am coming early to spray the poison Ivy!!!! HA Thank you again from everyone at Kain Landscape."
"WOW Member! Thank you sooooo much for the kind review. It was a great pleasure working with y'all. From beginning to end, you made everything really easy on us by staying interested, informed and knowing what you wanted. I feel the project went really smooth and the crew really appreciated their drinks and treats when you put them out. We are the lucky ones to be honored to work for and with folks like you. We look forward to the next adventure. Many thanks, Neil Kain"
"Hi Members, Thank you both so very much for the opportunity and the nice review. We enjoyed assisting you in alleviating the erosion issues on the side of your home and certainly look forward to discussing the new patio and terrace options in the future. Thank you again, Neil Kain"
"Hi Member, Thank you for the awesome review. We certainly enjoyed helping you with the landing. We are looking forward to assisting you with the grading and drainage issues when you are ready. Also the living fence sounds great. I look very forward to speaking with you in the near future. Many thanks, Neil Kain"
The Hardscape project we had Neil do several years ago required a lot of custom stone work and a very detailed installation. The estimate provided was spot on and the hardscape looks as good today as the day they placed the last stone. All a testiment to Quality, Expertise and Professionalism. Kain Landscape is a terrific company to work with and Neil Kain is one heck of a nice guy that you will enjoy handling your project.
"Hi Member, Thank you so much for the great review! It was really nice. We have enjoyed all of the projects over the past few years and of course look forward to the future ones. I hope you are still enjoying the stone work and landscape. I look forward to the next adventure!! Many thanks, Neil Kain"
"Wow! What an incredibly nice review the customer. I can't thank you enough for the kind words. We were extremely happy to join you and your husband on the new back yard design adventure. I am very pleased with the way it turned out and am very happy that y'all are too. We really enjoyed working with you both. We look very forward to hopefully helping you in the future. Many thanks, Neil Kain"
Neil Kain came over to assess the situation and immediately prescribed three retaining walls to terrace our yard. He worked around the existing very large crape myrtles and at the same time planned to remove for construction then replace some junipers, hydrangeas and nandinas.
To bring things back up to where they used to be and also to create for us a reasonable backyard, it was estimated that we would need 75 to 85 cubic yards of soil backfill. The retaining walls were planned to be close to 200' total with an average height of a little over 3'. This was going to be a very large project.
My great desire was to end up with a good setup for feeding the birds. I'd always wanted a hardscaped place for the bird feeders so (ideally) the sunflower shells would be swooshed away by the rain. I also knew it would be nice to have a level place for the grill and a path to it.
The plan for the patio for birdfeeding and the smaller, separate patio for the grill evolved as the project moved along. Neil is a birder, too, and he immediately "got it" when I described what I was after.
They also replaced the existing concrete step and landing out of the back porch which had never been to code. The new landing and step have a veneer of the same flagstone as the patios and there are matching flagstone treads/stepping stones from the landing to each of the new patios.
To manage drainage and runoff for the "new" yard, they replaced some existing corrugated drain pipe (from the gutters) with (smooth) PVC pipe and installed two new catch basins.
Finally, the "new" yard was graded and rolled, they installed sod and planted lots of perennials between the house and the grass. Who knew we had a Better Homes and Gardens backyard waiting to be revealed out there? Neil and his guys did just that.
FULL DISCLOSURE: Kain Landscaping has done the maintenance on our yard for years and years. Knowing their integrity and the quality of their work, we did not seek competitive bids which is really mandatory if budget is high on your list of qualifiers.
Neil's guys just came and WORKED for about 12 straight days on our project. Neil was in and out regularly and was 100% accessible via the phone whenever I had a question or as we were working out the details as the project came along.
Finally, a not-insignificant complication regarding this project is that we have a CRAZY neighbor. We're not talking a little eccentric, we're talking Ernest T. Bass-level of crazy. (Different from Ernest T., but Ernest T.-level.) Neil's guys have known of this and dealt with these neighbors for years. You will think I am overreacting but it is honestly a testament to their professionalism that they haven't told us that it just isn't worth the trouble to keep working here and putting up with the aggravation from over the fence.
"Hi Member, Thank you so very much for the kind words. They certainly mean a lot. We all enjoyed working with you both on the back yard projects. I am extremely happy with the outcome of the project and hope it satisfies all of the needs you and the dogs have. We are looking forward to seeing and working with you again in the future. Thanks again, Neil Kain"
