"We truly appreciate the opportunity to work with you on this project and of course welcome our your feedback. With any outdoor construction, there is always a bit of repair work that needs to happen to the existing yard, and as most landscape companies out there, we price for efficiency to be as cost-effective as possible, which involves machinery and turf damage. We are continually looking at ways to improve our client experience, and one thing we learned from this project moving forward is to manage our client expectations up front by showing them photos of what to expect. Particularly with regard to the turf damage. Furthermore, we are, for the most part, factoring in sod for the repair as we have much more success with it taking off. We know we are not perfect, but aim to please all of our clients and do what is right by them."

The Sharper Cut approach is design-build, which results in higher up-front costs, including ~$2500 for a full design that we now independently own. It also means we spent a good deal of time working with their staff to make sure they designed and installed what we wanted. Overall costs were higher than other company's quotes, but I believe without a doubt that Sharper Cut was straight forward with up-front material/labor costs vs long term maintenance expenses. Going with Sharper Cut was a bigger investment than other vendors, but it was also the 'best buy' over the long term.
"Thank you - this review explains exactly how we approach all projects. Creating a master plan addresses all of the client's wants and needs for the property, not just now but for future projects as well. The design process helps clients save money and prevents them from undoing or redoing a part of a project to get to next phase. The costs ensure quality work. We tell potential clients that we are not the cheapest and we do not want to be the cheapest. To lower prices, we would have to lower the quality of our work and that is not something we are willing to do."
We still have the rest of the plan to do- like replacing the wood on the deck and and building the patio; not to mention all the plantings needed and the front yard redesign. We plan to use them for all of what we need to do. My husband and I were extremely happy with their work and recommend them to anyone.
"Thank you for the review. With all projects, we work with the client to make sure it is everything that they want and can do. We are ready when you want to do the next phase."
"Thank you for the review. It is important to us that the design and project suits the needs and wants of the client. We loved creating your plan and installing the outdoor project - pizza ovens are a fantastic addition o any outdoor living space. From idea through construction and after project completion, we keep communication open to keep client informed."
"Thank you for the review. We have made some adjustments to our holiday light program so as not to have this type of situation happen again, including a new sign up by date for new and existing clients and a set install period of time with weather factored in. We look forward to next year's holiday light installation."
"Thank you for the review."
"We are glad that you are enjoying your new patio."
"Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to work with you on your project."
"Thank you for the review. We are glad that the work was performed to your satisfaction and look forward to a continued relationship."
"We have enjoyed working with you throughout the project. We love hearing how our crews are performing as well. The foreman appreciated your kind words and we have thanked him for that extra step. This above and beyond attitude is what we look at with our employees. This employee has been with us for 11 years and I think we will keep him :)"
"She has been a pleasure to work with. We were excited to work with her on a sizeable planting plan for her historic home. There were some challenges that arose during the process. We amend our planting beds to assure fast growth and longevity, and it often results in a higher soil level. This produced an undesirable drainage situation, which we take very seriously. As soon as the client notified us, we sent a crew out within 24 hours to fix the issue. We want our customers to be thrilled with their projects. For the most part the plants installed did very well, but it is inevitable that some tweaks need to be made (with the abundant deer population, even ‘deer resistant’ plants were negatively affected). We promised to replaced plants that weren’t working (including some perennials that weren’t warrantied). At the time of her review, we had sent the client a list of plants that we recommended as replacements. As sometimes happens, the email was not seen by our customer. When we saw her review, we were quick to bring her attention to the previously sent email. At this point, we are on good terms with the customer and we hope to surpass her expectations in the Spring with the completion of her garden."
We obtained Sharper Cut?s service eight years ago to update our landscape, build a walkway and retaining walls, and we were extremely pleased with the work performed. Sharper Cut is true to their word, they made sure that we were engaged from start to finish. Very professional staff and the quality of the work was outstanding and timely. We have been using Sharper Cut?s landscaping services (spring and fall) twice yearly since 2007. Highly recommend Sharper Cut?s for your landscaping and build need.
"Thank you for taking the time to review us. It has been a pleasure working with you for the past 8 years and we look forward to many more. These relationships with our clients is what has helped our company to become what it is today."
