CIMINELLI'S LANDSCAPE SERVICES INC

paver patio extension

Great! We got a number of estimates and decided to hire Ciminelli’s because they gave us the option of using permeable pavers which seemed to be the best drainage solution for our driveway. They did beautiful work and we no longer develop a lake at the bottom of the driveway when it rains. This work was done a couple of years ago and still looks like new. It was a bit more expensive than using standard pavers, but because we are within the Chesapeake Bay critical area we qualified for a property tax break that minimized the additional cost. Ciminelli’s has done other landscaping work for us and we have always been pleased with the quality of their work and their professionalism.

Services were great, the final product is better than I thought possible. Completed job in two days, cleaned up everything. The crew was amazing. I would definitely use them again and recommend them.

Ciminelli's did an awesome job installing a new 35' x 5' flagstone walkway. They were able to perfectly match the stone and style of a stoop and steps installed the previous year. Ciminelli is a safe pick if you are looking for an experienced contractor and a hassle free experience. Ciminelli also did an awesome job installing the previous driveway, which took approximately 4 days. The work crew arrived on the scheduled time frame and completed the project within the scheduled time frame.

Great, fast and great work

Incredible! Matt was great to work with throughout the whole project. Extremely accomodating to our budget without sparing quality. The workers were so kind and worked diligently. The end product was phenomenal. We love working with his greenhouse as well. There is no one else i will work with for these projects.

This was a wonderful team who knew what they were doing, and proud of their work! I wished I hadn't waited so long to have professionals clean up my front yard giving better street appeal.

Went fantastic.  Very impressed with the mail communication.  When Matt Ciminielli came out we discussed our desire for a pollinator garden.  He chose our plants with than in mind  The crew arrived when they were supposed to, worked hard, and left our house looking wonderful.  The jobs were done at the same time, and took several days.  We were in constant communication with the office.  The rain garden has grown beautifully and attracted butterflies and pollinators.  We even have hummingbirds regularly.

scheduled an estimate, arrived promptly, sent me an estimate in writing then scheduled a date and stuck to it even though rain was forecast. did a fantastic job.

Mr. Ciminelli reviewed the project with us and made terrific suggestions for landscaping that we decided to add on to the original contract. We had to attain homeowner approval for the work a md once that was received, the work was scheduled. The crew did an outstanding job coordinating the existing paved area in the back of the house to the new pavers that extended down the side and curved around to meet the driveway. We have a whole new look to the front and side yard, having removed an old hedge and replacing with new plants of a wide variety.

The team arrived when anticipated.  Always dependable.  Hard working.  One of the best values for the dollar around.

The service was excellent.  They were very efficient and nice people.  They did a good work.  The price was very good.  Their professionalism was excellent.

He is reliable, and when I say I don’t want anything invasive, he doesn’t put in anything invoices. He listens to my input and does exactly what I want.

They do excellent  brick work and excellent landscaping! They are always on time, and work very hard. We chose them for their brick work because we had looked at four other contractors and we were not impressed with them. We knew CIMINELLI'S was the right choice and he did beautiful brick work for us. We will continue to use him!

From my standpoint....the effort went nearly flawlessly.  We had agreed on what needed to be done...and scheduled a date for the work to be accomplished.  I returned home from work...and everything that had been requested was completed.
I had two follow-up questions....one was how the lighting system could be modified.....and the second was that when I was asking for the plantings to be accomplished.....I hadn't provided an access for my neighbor to the back of his property to cut the buffer zone behind his house.  The head of the landscaping crew came over at the agreed upon time......and showed me the control set for the lighting.  In addition, he was able to move the recently installed plants to create a pathway for my neighbor....while maintaining a visual continuity from nearly every perspective.
Again, the experience with Ciminelli's was terrific.
Matt and his crew will forever be my "go to" source whenever I need assistance with any of my outdoor initiatives.

They did a great job.  Provided an accurate estimate.  Work proceeded smoothly.  The driveway is beautiful!  We love it and I'm sure it has added to the value of our property. 
        When we applied for the first year's property tax credit, the engineer for the county wanted additional documentation to demonstrate that this project was installed properly to qualify as stormwater infrastructure eligible for the tax credit.  They sent along a diagam showing the depth below the surface that they had excavated and the types of permeable materials installed there.  The tax credit then went through.

Matt was great to work with, he came to the house several times to answer questions and to further explain his "vision."  His drawing was most helpful.  Workers were great, worked hard the entire day (with short lunch breaks), answered questions, gave suggestions for upkeep, etc.  The result is AMAZING... wish I knew how to add a picture on here.  With last min. additional worked added (at our request) there was miscommunication regarding the price.  Ciminelii's only billed us for half of that unaccounted for charge as a fair resolution.  We appreciated that gesture.It's now 4 months later and everything still looks great.  Some of the old bushes and plants that were to be "gutted" are now coming up again and weeding has become a daunting task.  I wish they had removed the roots of the old plants before planting new ones.  Also, I have emailed follow-up questions to the secretary regarding plant concerns (not looking "right" to me and worried one might die)... and her response back was that they were fine.  I was a little put off by her short response and lack of explanation as to what was going on w/ the plant.  I emailed back to her asking for an elaboration but never received a response.  I felt like I was bothering her or asking a stupid question but it's important to note that my thumb is NOT green what-so-ever, and that my concerns stem from my own past-experience of plants dying when they don't look "right."  None have died though (knock on wood) so I'm pleased about that.I would definitely use this company again, but would express my concerns regarding follow-up questions via secretary to Matt... and hopefully go through a different secretary. 

very well.

Excellent work and very responsive.  The employees are very conscientious, courteous and  hardworking.  They do what they say they will do when they say they will do it and they do it very well.  On the rare occasions something is not done right, Matt, the owner, ensures it is corrected in accordance with expectations and to customer satisfaction.   Both the walkway to our front door and the carport pad (pavers) are great and the walkway has looked fabulous for over ten years since it was first installed. We are planning more projects in the future and will use Ciminelli's.

This landscaping company was very professional, completed all of the required work on time and we were extremely pleased with the way everything turned out.

The owner, Matt , was very responsive and punctual with his estimate visit. He was professional, and we liked that he was able to show us what the stone wall would look like at the visit (using an iPad). His estimate came in when he promised it would. The pricing was competitive with other local companies. Overall, the work looks good and at a nice level of quality. However, the lower marks on this report were a result of  issues with operations, communication and logistics.

The job had to be rescheduled twice. That wasn't so much the problem, but what made this more of an issue was that we were not told that the crew wasn't showing up on the second date provided until that morning after 9 AM. We had already made plans to take off of work, and to make paid arrangements for our dog. After I called the office to complain about yet another delay, the office manager was able to reroute the crew to start that afternoon. The job was estimated to take 1.5 to 2 days, but ended up taking 2 more days. The further delay to finish was caused by rain one afternoon, but also a delay in actually having all  the plants with them to install. The crew told us that some of the plants were not available from the statement of work/ job proposal, and suggested we wait until spring to get them in. That was pretty surprising; suggesting that we wait several months to have the entire job finished, and for the company to be paid in full.   Per the job proposal, substitutes can occur, but it seemed to us that there was alot of miscommunication on what was needed to finish the job. For example,  when we were told that the magnolia tree was not available any longer, Matt provided some alternatives via email, and when I did review and research the alternatives, the next business day the magnolia we originally had chosen was planted! Also, the last part of the job was to plant some ground cover. The crew didn't have the plants with them on what we thought was the last day (which meant yet another day to finish), plus we heard from the crew that they weren't available. I called again to the office to find out what was going on, and later on that afternoon, the crew showed up to finish the job with the ground cover we had chosen.

One other issue arose during our work: the crew accidentally dug up a crepe myrtle bush in the front and destroyed it so when we found this out about an hour after it happened, it couldn 't be put back. Tthe company replaced it with a new one. Matt called me to apologize, which was appreciated. This plant was sentimental, given to us as a gift, and couldn't really be replaced, but the call was a nice touch. 

The concrete repair work went well, without incident. The crew was polite, and cleaned up the site very well after the work.

The overall quality of the work is good. We are happy with the final work. Working through all the logistics and miscommunication was frustrating.

They rebuilt it and it was not to our satisfaction so they came back and redid it. They were very accomodating, they showed up when they said they would, were on time, and emailed us. They were very good.
