They have provided winter services- applying burlap around shrubs and bushes in preparation for winter weather. They plowed our driveway and shoveled walkways. They always came when they said they would. They mow the lawn regularly. You can choose the frequency- ie, every week, every other week... They will plant whatever you need planted. They will provide compost, mulch, plants... They have different teams that come depending on the service you require. They will provide referrals as needed. Everyone has done a great job in a courteous, professional manner. We have been very happy with the services Patten Grounds Care has provided the past two years. You get what you pay for. We are continuing to use Patten Grounds Care Services. I would highly recommend this company.

Matt was fast to return my inquiry and came by quickly to view the job but slow getting us a quote, even though I was clear from first contact that I I desperately wanted this done ASAP... He told me, on July 26, that he could do it in 2-3 weeks. I said, lets do it, but lets do it now... My biggest concern was the availability of quality plants in late July. He assured me that he could get excellent stock... No problem at all he said.... As we walked the job, on July 28th, he quoted $40-50 each for the forsythia, and $100 each for the Arbors, which we agreed would be at least 5-6 ft tall...I wanted as tall as we could get since these trees grow so slowly. We agreed on container plants to avoid the need or damage from an excavator. I wanted a fairly small root ball as this was to be a boundary plant, set very close to my neighbors walkway. I initially requested 3-5 plants, he went with 6. The estimate was $2100- $2400, which seemed really high, based on the plants we had discussed. I assumed this meant a LOT of labor, and a lot of soil.. I questioned him on this. He said it would "probably be less" if they encountered no problems like ledge. The contract was remarkably ambiguous about the price breakdown between labor and plants, but I was highly motivated and just wanted it done, and we had already discussed the price for the plants.... I thought, if you want premium work, you pay the premium price, expecting rapid, turnkey service. I signed the contract and sent him the $700 deposit on the 6th of August, the very day I received the contract. And then I waited. And then the bait and switch began... suddenly my $100 trees are $129 trees, then $150 trees but $165 trees with his markup.. Not what we discussed at all.. My confidence begins to fade, as does my trust. On August 14th, frustrated, and deeply concerned about price and quality, the challenge of finding 6 well matched trees this late in season, I send an email requesting we cancel the trees until next spring, but go ahead with the back yard. He starts arguing and berating me that they are "already dug" and I would have to pay at least $200 to replant them... Dug? What dug? I didn't approve burlap... Expressly discussed and declined burlap. I agreed to containers which can be easily cancelled or returned, so his attitude was surprising and alarming. Again I express, if you are charging top dollar, please understand I expect excellent quality. I put everything in writing, hoping against hope to avoid any misunderstandings. If I'm paying for a Lexus, you had best deliver a Lexus. I ask for an install date. He is evasive. The following week I again ask for an install date...After all, I need to schedule my time and there was no way I was going to let this guy dig before I saw the plants. He says it's all waiting on Digsafe. He tells me it will be the 22 or the 25th ( now a full month has passed since he quoted me 2 weeks) On Friday the 22, I personally call Digsafe to find out when to expect them, knowing that for a Monday job, they would have to be here on Friday. I am told they have no such job order, nor are they running behind. They ask if the yard is flagged in preparation. It was not. I email Matt to ask what gives. Again he calls back and leaves me yet another nasty message, how dare I call Digsafe, blah blah blah. Demands I quit contacting him, quit checking up on him, that he'll " get to me when he gets to me". Without question he is the rudest, most condescending, arrogant, belligerent contractor I have ever dealt with. Total Jekyll and Hyde. Pleasant until he has your money... The next contact, Tuesday August 26, he calls, leaves a VM telling me he will be here the following Monday, which was Labor Day. Not ideal, but I want it done. Surprise surprise....he does not show - no call, no text, no email. The same thing the next day. It is now September 2nd... almost 6 weeks from my initial contact. I contact Angies List for advice, hoping for a solution. Exhausted, I send another email saying lets just cancel the whole thing, return my deposit, lets go our separate ways... He adamantly refuses, saying he would absolutely not return a dime of the deposit ( contract does NOT say deposit is non refundable BTW ) that it wasn't HIS fault O'Donnels Nursery took 2 weeks to dig the plants ( I called - they deny this) it wasn't HIS fault Digsafe was slow (again - they claim they were not behind ) When I tell him I have contacted Angies List for advice, I receive yet another nasty voicemail saying it was "outrageous" that I would do something like that over something as" frivolous" as scheduling delays. He even criticizes my email communication format demanding I call him rather than write, somehow completely missing the point of a paper trail when one feels that we are not on the same page. Honestly, at that point, I did not believe he had any intention of actually doing the job, so I was shocked when he suddenly announces his intent to install the very next day. Impossible for me. No advanced notice. Then he wants the install the next day, on September 4. I had a Dr's appt that I was forced to reschedule. Incredibly unprofessional. Needless to say, the plants were not what I was expecting or hoping for. It was the worst case scenario coming true. The forsythia was thin and reedy... it looks like it was a throw away at a nursery. They do not appear to be the same as the plants they were to match and blend with. Only time will tell, as he gave me no details,documentation or care instructions on any the plants. The arbors were healthy but very small. Disappointingly small. Not the size we agreed on. Not the thickness we agreed on. Not the look I was going for. If only he had arranged for me to preview the plants, none of this needed to happen. I did not know what to do... It was an ambush install. He was very clear that if I did not let him install this crap he was going to drive off with my money and nothing would get done. He has a very snide and dismissive personality... said mere minutes ago we were having "an adult" conversation" but now that I was AGAIN expressing concern and disappointment, well, I was exasperating. I felt completely bullied and intimidated.
He and his assistant convinced me to let them install everything, that the forsythia would eventually root and fill out. That they would build up a berm to raise the height of the arbors, to look taller, because NOW he finally admits that if these trees aren't good enough, we would have to wait until next spring.... but he makes it clear, I get no refund whatsoever. Every time he speaks, he says something new... I've got $800 into this, I've got $1000 into this, I've got $1500 in this.... Nothing is ever the same, nothing is the truth... And so they lined up the trees, spaced them out well, planted them upright...it looked OK from the house, until they drove off at 2 20 pm, ( they had not brought the mulch even though it was in their quote) finally moving their truck away from the front of the trees... And that's when I finally got a good look. And it was bad. They placed the trees (which looked somewhat like bushes, some as small as 4-4 1/2 ft ) a good 2 1/2 - 3 ft from the boundary. They look ridiculous. They need to be pushed over to closer to the border...I know they are going to grow. And I am willing to trim if necessary, but right now they are floating in the yard.

Jand P gave us a range of when the service would be performed, and they were delayed a day or two from that due to weather. This didn't put me or my neighbor out though, but is why I'm giving them a C for punctuality instead of an A. I was present when they took down the dead tree. They did it quickly, and did a great job cleaning up. I was not present when they pruned my maple. They took off the dead stuff (a lot) and also did a great job cleaning up. The plants underneath that tree weren't touched. In both cases power lines were an issue, and there were no problems with the power lines.

FAQs for plant watering projects in Wells, ME
Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
Lawn irrigation is the process of getting water to your lawn, grass and all, for it to grow. There are five main types of lawn irrigation methods:
Manual irrigation puts you in charge of the flow of water. Using a sprinkler head on your hose is best to evenly distribute the water across your entire lawn. This doesn’t take much time but requires you to be physically outside holding the hose.
Above-ground sprinklers attach to your hose and rotate or oscillate around your lawn. Since these are above-ground, they’ll need to be moved when it’s time to mow, and depending on the size of your property, you might need to move it around your yard for full coverage.
In-ground sprinklers are flush with the ground when not in use but pop up above the ground level when it's time to water the lawn. Piping for these sprinklers is all found underground, and there are different types of sprinkler heads for different uses and lawn sizes.
Drip irrigation involves drip lines that are more efficient than sprinklers for more extensive lawns. This involves a lot of digging since they are installed underground, but it makes it easy for you to mow.
Rainwater collection and irrigation uses nature’s precipitation to water your lawn. This option might not be available in every area since semi-reliable rainfall is needed, though the barrels for this system can range from 15 gallons to 10,000 gallons or more.
The cost of a lawn sprinkler system is $2,550 for the average homeowner. However, this price can range from $350 to $5,000 or more, depending on the type of sprinkler system you install, the size of your yard, and the type of sprinkler heads you choose. For example, rotating or oscillating sprinkler heads are more expensive than stationary ones, making the cost for one sprinkler head $2.50 to $30 each. Likewise, a yard that is 1/4 of an acre in size averages a total average price of $2,460; however, a one-acre yard averages a cost of $9,840.
Landscaping costs around $3,500 but varies widely from $200 to $14,000. Factors that play a part in your final landscaping price tag include:
Location
Yard size
Project size
Materials
Land preparation
Type of landscaping
Considering so many factors, it’s not surprising that the overall costs can differ. A typical landscaping project is flower bed installation, which averages between $800 and $3,000. However, landscape lighting installation is a higher-end project, with a price tag of $2,000 to $6,000.
