Update 5/13/15: Clippers doesn't care about you beyond the initial job!!!
See my previous comments below. We were happy with the initial work Clippers did. However, the dwarf Japanese junipers did not survive the rough winter of the "Polar Vortex". When I called in the Spring, and said all of our junipers were dead, Kelly explained that our winter was especially harsh, and said they would replace the junipers. Which they did. Fast forward another year, and another rough winter......2 of the 3 junipers are dead again. So, I called, and this time I spoke to Eric. He explained the plants only have a 1 year warranty, and since they had already been replaced, they wouldn't replace them again. I said that was fine, I would be willing to pay the cost for some new plants, but that I wanted to look at using something different since obviously the junipers just aren't working out. He called me back and said Kelly recommended Hastas. I explained we had Hastas in our front planter bed, and some in the backyard already, and I wanted other alternatives, because we are already have a lot of Hastas in the landscaping. Eric let me go, and said he would call me back again. He did not call me back. I had to call him at the office, and our next conversation is quite frankly Stunning to me. He basically said that they don't have time for me. They have a lot of "big jobs" right now and they don't have time to research or address my piddly little problem. I explained that while we are just talking about 2 plants, my initial job was a "Big Job" (I paid them $1500), and that as far as I am concerned this is a continuation of that job, as the plants they installed have never been successful in our yard. Long story short. They don't care and they aren't helping. Which is mind-boggling to me. First, they must not be very knowledgeable about plants is they can't come up with one other alternative than Hastas. Second, how long does it really take to come over, dig up 2 dead plants, throw new ones in the hole and leave? Really?!?! Ridiculous to throw away what was a satisfied customer over this problem. But that is exactly what they have done. Stay away. Find a company that is more knowledge about plant options, and more important that care about the job they did AFTER they take your money.
Clippers did a rather large landscape job for me in the Fall of 2012. Neither my husband nor I have much of an interest in gardening/landscaping, and unfortunately, our yard reflected this. The beds had become overrun with weeds. To add to the ugliness, we had to have our sewer line dug up, and we had a huge dirt lump running down the middle of our front yard. I contacted 3 local landscape companies to come out and give their proposals. Kelly from Clippers came out to do the estimate. I chose Clippers for a combination of factors: Reasonable price quote, listened to my concerns during the consultation and addressed them in the proposal, professionalism and responsiveness (returning phone calls promptly, etc). In a single day, a work crew from Clippers weeded our front, side, and back planter beds, removed some dead bushes we had planted that didn't make it due to a lack of sunlight, put down weed barrier, put down mulch, planted new hastas, autumn sedum, dwarf japanese junipers and Knock Out Rose bushes, graded the dirt lump and put down grass seed, and last but not least, removed a moss patch in the back yard, and reseeded there as well. It was a BIG job. And we were very pleased with the results. The dirt lump, while still there, is much less noticeable now, and will continue to settle over time. The weed barrier is helpful in preventing the planter beds from becoming a mess again.
Day two was the best where I watched before my eyes the installation and completion of the job. After the install they cleaned up everything and left it spotless.
Update
It went fantasticAfter the install I noticed a and quot;S*** LOADand quot; of seeds growing in my mulch. They arrived today to acknowledge that they had a problem with the supplier and are going to replace the mulch. Today they applied a preeminent application and gt; These guys are the BOSS and anytime you'd like a recommendation let me know...
