French Drain 5/15/2014

I laid out a path for the French drain, with pictures, which the men did not follow. Then, I caught the workers trying to short the job by not replacing the entire drain, for which they were paid. Their lousy excuse was they ran out of pipe! After the initial installation was complete and having been paid, the drain did not allow the water to drain.  Dave inspected and said the slope was wrong and redid that part of the drain.  Then pipe kept popping out of the ground because it  was not buried deep enough.  The grass on top of the drain kept dying because it was sitting directly on the plastic pipe.  They replaced the catch basin with a channel drain which is now too small and continually gets clogged and water backs up during rain.

Update 6/10/2015

Now I think the problem is not a clog but that the channel drain has never been connected to the drain pipe. I Contacted Dave Henderson owner, and he is not willing to fix the problem with the French drain unless I pay him again.  He never reimbursed me for the outdoor carpet his men ran over with the lawn mower or the fence picket they broke. This drain has never worked and he refuses to fix it. In a good downpour, the driveway and grass get flooded and the grass is in bad shape.

The Lawn Service

busted my fence with the mower and hid the board behind the AC unit,

On one of the scheduled days, the guys showed up but only used the leaf blower and did not mow. I was home and immediately called Dave, but the men denied it of course but came back and mowed.

Finally, one of the lawn service guys ran over my slab patio with the mower and ripped up the corner of my outdoor carpet.

That was the final event I could handle and fired the service. All of this would not be such a big problem, however Dave does not want to take responsibility and rectify the problems completely, just put a patch on things.. 

I have used this company for almost 7 years for my weekly lawn maintenance. I just want to say how great the owner, Dave is. He is one of the most ethical people I have ever dealt with; it is really refreshing to do business with someone of the caliber.

We've used Associated Environmental Landscaping for weekly maintenance for about 2 years. They always provide excellent service and are responsive and helpful when needed. We've been planting new sections of the property over time, and Assoc. Environmental has done a great job adapting to the changing landscape and giving the new plants the care needed. Whenever we ask for their advice, they are honest and helpful.

I am very pleased with the weekly sevice as well as landscaping services.

The work is good but every little thing is extra--a lot extra. They require an annual contract which I don't like.

They are consistent professionals. They are incredibly knowledgeable. They are always on time. They go out of their way to provide good service. They do things to help take care of things that aren't even apart of of the contract. They are very cautious. All the little things that they do, which I have many examples of them doing, make my yard and my experience with this company great. They actually seem to care about me and my yard. They are a little expensive but it is worth it. They are always available. They are easy to work with. It's nice to have someone confident with good crews and foreman. I have a fairly educated option and I really appreciate this company and their service.
