NEXT TO NATURE LANDSCAPE

I LOVE working for this outfit.  In each case the homeowners were being VERY well taken care of by Adam and his crew which made it a breeze for me to come in towards the end of each project to do my part of the project.  I've been treated with nothing but the highest respect and consideration by the company as a sub, and their homeowner customers say the same thing to me about the company.

The back yard kitchen/patio project far exceeded our expectations. Mike was able to come up with a plan for our back patio and yard on the first visit. He provided a detailed drawing and after the work was complete, it was simply amazing. The patio was enlarged and covered with a roof that looks like it is part of the house. New pavers were put down over the old concrete. The outdoor kitchen was created with beautiful rock work and lighting. A rock stairway was installed leading from the patio/outdoor kitchen to the lower part of the yard. A large rock retaining wall was also installed in the lower yard area with beautiful landscaping. Have received numerous compliments from the neighbors. All aspects of the project were handled in a very professional manner. I know it's a small thing, but everyone who came to work wore  the official Next to Nature shirts. All vehicles were identified with Next to Nature logos. They didn't just grab some folks off the street to come and work. These people demonstrated a high degree of expertise and professionalism.  It took about 3 months to complete, but in the end, it was well worth it. I would highly recommend Next to Nature for any outdoor kitchen/patio/landscaping project.

Efficiently, with very good quality planting.

We've used them for a couple of years. I felt they were doing a really good job. We did have a huge problem last year which they dumped the whole chemical on the lawn that killed a lot of the grass. Then they tried to correct it and they did a fair job of refilling. We gave them a chance to make things right and I don't think we would have fired them over that particularly. It was a huge disappointment but the bid for next year just came in too high and they were not responsive to answering and to getting the bid in either which was another concern because we had to kind of chase them down to get an estimate. They showed up when they were supposed to.

It was sufficient, but I thought it was a little over priced.

I made my initial contact with Next to Nature on April 1, 2013 and I never saw a worker until April 26, 2013. I had to call the office numerous times to find out when the repair work would be scheduled. Toward the end, the gal in the office became very short with me when I told her I had originally called 4/1/13 and it was now 4/25/13. Her response was, and quot;Well I don't know what to tell you.and quot; Very unacceptable and frustrating. I called the gentleman that I had been working with on his cell phone and told him that if they did not want to do the work, just tell me so that I could make other arrangements. The workers were out the next day after I spoke with him on 4/25/13 and worked in the rain to tear down the wall. They returned the following week and rebuilt it. I was pleased with the workers. They did a good job of reconstructing the wall and replanting one of our bushes.
My issue was with response time in getting them out to do the work and the attitude of the gal answering the office phone.

We wanted to change our back yard from a non functional poorly landscaped area into an entertainment area, hot tub area with privacy and an outdoor kitchen. We had some general ideas but did not have it all down in our heads. Adam from Next to nature came out and talked with us and then came back with some drawings that were very close to our vision. We made some changes here and there with his help designed the exact area we were looking for in a few meetings. The other 2 companies we talked to never even came close or got back to us after we told them what we wanted. Once the work started the guys were very professional and friendly and accommodating to changes we made while in progress. They even let us use some of our own people for electrical etc. Over all we were so impressed that we bought the whole crew lunch and drinks one day just to say thank you. I would definitely use them again as they did the work just as planned and in a very efficient manner. Also impressive was each night ( for 2.5 weeks) they cleaned up so you could hardly tell they were there.

They are easy to work with and my yard looks great. It is the best yard in the neighborhood. I have been using them for the last two years. Price varies between $75 and $1000 depending on what they do.

Overall the job was very good. They considered detail. They were very customer service oriented. They are just a good company. They were a little more expensive probably but I think we got the best quality that we asked for. I would use their services again in the future.

I have used Next to Nature Landscape twice. they are very professional and stick to their timeliness. they don't have the cheapest prices, but you do get you money's worth. i would hire them again.

The work was done during a two week span, and we were very satisfied. When a downspout was damaged during the work, it was promptly replaced. The work crew was a very hard working bunch that worked long days and took care in what they did. Overall, it was a very positive experience, and I highly recommend them.

Some damage had been done from some foundation work that needed to be straightened out. I was getting some water in my basement and they came in and brought eight tons of rock and soil. They spread that out around the foundation to get all the water sloping away from the house. They put in a dry streambed to also help to get the water away from the house and they buried my sump pump in the dry stream bed. They also buried some downspouts that ran about 20 feet in my yard.

The front landscaping was a small area and maximum use was made of that space. It looks great. The back was the largest part of the project. The crews showed up on time every day and worked all day. No skipping around to other projects while working on this one. They dug out under our high deck to create a "covered" patio that continued on from the open patio area. A retaining wall and flagstone steps were built leading from the deck down to the patio. Landscaping was planted all around the patio. The work crews cleaned up their tools at the end of each work day. The owner(s) stopped by each day to check progress and checked in with me to see if there were any questions. I added some features and changed a couple of things and they were executed quickly and exactly to specifications. Everyone I worked with from Next to Nature was professional, friendly and efficient.
