Hartman Landscape

unknown

We couldn't be happier!  I originally contacted Hartman by email over a weekend, and Dave came out within a couple of days. We had a pool that we removed, and and old holland stone patio that needed to be replaced.  He listened to what I had in mind and came up with a proposal within a couple of days.  We ended up changing a few things, which he quickly re-quoted. Once we signed the contract within a few days, they immediately got back to me with a start date, which was started within a week!  It took 4 days to complete, which was also during probably the hottest days of this summer.  They were here every day by 7:30 and stayed until 4 or so. They took their time and made sure everything was perfect!  I also requested they leave the old pavers, and they neatly stacked them in an area on the side of the house, where I told them.  They left everything so clean, you wouldn't even have known there was work done.    As far as the pricing went, I did have a couple of other quotes that were a slightly lower, but, everything Dave and Hartman did was very professional.  The others were too casual, I didn't feel comfortable with them.  We've had a lot of the neighbors come over and told us how beautiful it is!

We had three quotes on tearing out our 30+ year old landscaping.  Davin Jeziorski was the person from Hartman who came out, viewed the property, listened to what we were thinking and provided a design.  His was the only design, I would say, where our input was incorporated in the design.  He really listened.  And when it came down to the quote his was the least expensive - $500 less than one quote and $1000 less than the other.  Davin clearly explained the plantings and the colors they would add to the garden.
They started the job less than two weeks after receiving the authorization to do so.  In one day they had all of the old landscaping torn out and the sidewalk was being removed.  On the second day the old sidewalk was gone and an outline of the new paver walk  had taken shape.  There were 3 and sometimes 4 men doing this work.  I came home for lunch and felt that I needed the walk to have a bigger arch.  The foreman listened, checked with Davin, and made this happen.  The third day, the walk was finished.  It was tied in well with the drive way and the house entrance.  A real thing of beauty.  Also on the third day, the new plantings were installed.
The fourth day, they covered the exposed ground with mulch and cleaned up everything in the front of the house.  Unexpectedly, they also applied mulch to other flower beds on the sides of the house and around the mailbox.  This was not contracted for and I assume it was just a little extra at no cost added to the job to make the place look great.
The work provided a front walk with no steps for us or our friends to be tripping on, and within weeks we had blooming flowers of all kinds.  We are very pleased with the work of Davin and this crew.  We intend to have them come back next year to trim up the bushes, roses and other features of the landscaping.
