If you need landscaping work done, call Ed Benesch. You can't go wrong. My husband and I needed a new landscape design for the backyard of our home which is on a hill and not conducive to entertaining. Ed and his son came out to survey the property and came up with a design. Of the three designs and estimates we received, we liked Ed's the best. By the time the time he and his crew finished the work we were amazed at the transformation. Ed extended a space we had for a fire pit by extending an existing retaining wall that juts out off our patio. The extension was about 18 inches. but what a difference that made! He and his team also came up with an ingenious design for steps that are both attractive and functional so we can get to the bottom of the hill safely. The plant selection fits in with plants we already had and were chosen to compliment our yard. Needless to say, we are one happy couple! Plus, he and his crew were great to work with. Ed is coming back to redo our patio; can't wait!

Family business. Very professional and very responsive. Provided written estimates for all jobs. Provided sound advice. Once contracts are signed, they come out to work on the jobs as stated, no reminder needed. All jobs were done nicely and i don't even have to be at home. Left the surrounding areas clean after finish. Respectful of my home. My neighbor told me she would hire them to redo her yard since she saw them when they were working on my yard. I am referring this company to others I know that needed landscaping and home improvement. If you're looking for a professional service, I highly recommend this company.

It was better than I hoped. He overcame every problem (Mine is an old house. There are always unexpected finds.) It looks great and he even alerted me to the fact that one of my downspouts is clogged.

Ed has done a wonderful job. The lawn always looks perfect and after he trimmed the hedges, it looked like a completely different house. He has always been very responsive and easy to get a hold of. Cutting back the hedges was something the buyers requested and Ed was able to take care of all of the hedges within a couple days of when I called him. I highly recommend E B Landscaping and plan to throw a lot more work his way as my primary home needs work, once I sell the townhome.

Ed and his son met with me to provide an estimate, and I agreed to contract them to put down new sod and landscape the front yard. There were some weather issues that delayed the work slightly but the eventually came and did the work I hired them for. Unfortunately, everything that occurred after this has led to me writing an unfavorable review. First, the day the sod was put down they failed to water it and it appeared very dry and brown in some spots. They indicated afterwards to me that they usually water new sod they install, but since they didn't see a hose out front and didn't bother to ask me where it was they didn't water. (I watered it later that evening) Ed, told me that if I ever had any issues I could always call him no matter day of the week. So after I noticed that even though I had been watering, as instructed it appeared to be dying with brown patches all over, I called Ed to come down and take a look. He came down and said he didn't see anything wrong, while talking over me the whole time and then left. This process repeated itself over the next several weeks, with Ed becoming ruder and more condescending each time. The second to last time they came back to look at the problem, Ed's son mentioned that I'd cut the grass too short, and that was the reason it was brown. However, it was browning even before I cut it. He agreed to come back to fertilize and stressed that I needed to keep it "saturated" with water and that would make it green. This is after Ed Sr. begins arguing and being condescending to my wife, while getting into a verbal altercation with my neighbor over the issue of the grass. Fast forward, we have consistently watered it due to the hot weather and have not cut it too short and the problem still persists. I called Ed one last time to try and have them resolve the problem, and he became extremely rude again and told me he would have his son call me. When his son did call he asked that I send pictures, and once he received them basically gave me a list of things that I or someone was doing to the grass to make it look the way it does. Including saying that my neighbor may be sabotaging it, so I'd would have to keep calling E B Landscaping with complaints. Overall, there was a lack of communication throughout the entire process on Ed and Ed Jr's part, and when I held them to their motto of customer satisfaction to help resolve this they became rude and dismissive. Essentially saying that they've done all they can and once the product is put down there isn't much more they can do. I think these folks, Ed Sr. in particular need to greatly improve how they handle and speak with clients. Hopefully they address this in there response to my review.
Response from E B Landscaping & Home Improvement, LLC
"The sod installation was completed back on May 20th, 2016. We normally water after the installation, provided that there is a hose. There was no hose available, so we called the the customer and gave him watering instructions and informed them of the proper cutting height to ensure favorable growth. Customer called at the beginning of July, and when we arrived at the house we noticed that they had not been watering correctly and had been cutting the grass at around 2 inches high (much lower than instructed). I told the customer that I would come to fertilize the lawn at no charge. Customer called near the end of July, after we had sustained temperatures of above 90 degrees, to say that some areas were browning. I let the customer know that in extreme heat due to lack of moisture, and if customer is not watering enough, or at all. We always communicate with our customers to the best of our ability, and try our hardest to satisfy all of our customers. The lawn was still green as of July 24th (When I last saw lawn). The image gallery shows a picture of when the sod was installed and when I went to fertilize it almost 2 months later. Our ratings speak for themselves."

EB landscaping did a great job getting our yard ready for an upcoming house sale, adding a great amount of curb appeal. There was a lot of mulch required for our back yard and front yard, and Ed and his family put it all out neatly and just made everything look fantastic. I would use EB landscaping again- they were fair and honest, and did really great work.

The beginning to the end of the project was smooth and professional.  EB Landscaping is a top-tier organization. Their knowledge and expertise in their field is apparent.  They were easy to talk too and put together a concept that meet our needs and exceeded our expectations at a fair price. It was a joy working with them.  I can not say enough good things about EB Landscaping- Professional, High Integrity and Conscientious.  We are already lining up our next project with EB Landscaping!

Small job to clean up front and back yards that were overgrown, and added mulch to front yard. Ed was very responsive and was clear about other projects that might impact the timing of my request. He ended up getting to my project sooner than expected which was great. Pricing was also reasonable, and I will be contacting him again in the future for lawn care.

We have a slope, and some wet areas that require careful navigation.  They do it all w/ no problems.  They are regular as clockwork and do a very good job.  The price seems to be about the norm for the neighborhood.

The company was responsive by phone.  Ed Benesch, the owner, came out quickly to give an estimate.
On the day of the work, Ed Benesch arrived with two members of his family and a family friend (this is a family business).  We walked the perimeter of the house, and he went over the work that he would be doing.  They worked hard and efficiently.  Afterwards, we again walked the perimeter and he showed me the result.  Everything looked great.
I look forward to working with Ed and his family in the future.

Went great. The two-man team comes promptly, does the work including edging and gets it all done within about a half hour or so. I'd definitely use them again.

The day that the work was performed went very smoothly in my opinion. Ed came around the time he said he would arrive and they started work very quickly. Bushes were removed quickly and efficiently, and areas that were touched were backfilled with mulch and large areas were filled with top soil. His team (Ed, Ed's son, and Ed's son's son!) were dedicated, friendly, and professional. I enjoyed working with them, and would recommend them to others for landscaping.
The only criticism I had was scheduling the work. Ed did advise me that it may take many weeks to get in, but even so, it was longer than I expected. However, even so, I am happy with the work they did and would not hesitate to work with them again.
