JOE POWELL

unknown

We contacted Joe for this project several months ago but he was not able to come for the job until now. He stays very busy and he cannot respond as soon as I would like. I have used him for landscaping for about 2 years and he does have a real talent for design and my yard looks great! His cost does seem to me to be high, but when he completes a project it does look great. My only complaint is that he has so many customers that he cannot always respond to my needs for upkeep as often as I would like. He is a very nice gentleman with many years of experience and he is very knowledgeable about landscaping.

The additional to the house is great. My wife has a great spot to relax and read while I am deployed down range.

Both my husband and I are city people and neither of us had a clue how to deal with our 3.3 heavily wooded acres. After receiving the sketchiest of instructions, Joe took us by the hand and advised, guided and actually designed the whole project. He gave us a detailed written estimate listing prices for labor and equipment, every plant, the topsoil, gravel, pinestraw, roundup, and other materials that escape me right now. He also provided a payment schedule: 50% to start, 25% half way through and the final 25% upon completion. We hired him on Friday, he began the following Monday and the job was finished yesterday. We are so pleased that we have hired him to do the maintenance and we'll let you know about that as it unfolds.

Overall, Joe knows how to make a yard look good. In fact, I believe his efforts made an improvement to my appraisal value. It went up 6% when I did a refinance and that says a lot in today's housing market.

He went over his estimate; his work was shoddy. Numerous plants died, sprinkler plumbing leaked. Did not clean up trash at the end. Did not back up his work. He repeatedly said he would come back and fix problems and did not. Did not answer complaint filed with BBB Joe Powell is a thief and a liar; do not do business with him!
