Get matched with top mulch and topsoil pros in Bloomsdale, MO

"We contracted with Basile Landscaping & Lawncare, LLC (Basile) in August 2017 for work that was completed in November 2017. Work included a fire pit patio, consisting of patio pavers, rock stairs, and two small patio walls (approx. 30” tall at tallest point). Also included in the work was a small hot tub concrete pad, a small flagstone walkway, and irrigation repairs related to work performed. Total cost $22,830.00. Within a year of install, the patio walls, which were made out of natural stone and dry set, began caving in due to pressure from surrounding soil compaction. While we were able to reset the stones initially, the problem has gotten worse and now requires repair. We reached out to Basile in Oct. 2023 to get an estimate on repair costs with the hope that they would stand behind the workmanship. While we were not expecting the repairs to free, we did expect a fair price, since the rock walls did not hold up as promised. The rock walls should have been set in adhesive to ensure they would hold up. Jim Thomas from Basile provided us with a bid that totaled $3,500 to fix the walls installed by his company. We were told the bid reflected a $300 discount, since Basile did the initial install. Materials for the repair would be limited to polymeric sealant, which should have been used on the initial install, and repairs to the yard around the walls requiring work. We tried to negotiate a fair price for the repairs, since material costs would be less than $500, but Mr. Thomas would not negotiate a fair price to fix the poor installation provided by his company. In short, if you are looking for a company that does quality work at a fair price and stands behind the work performed, you may want to contract with a different company."

"They have a pretty good price very good service. I would recommend them."

"Really well. The workers were fast and they did a great job. After the job some plants needed to be replaced from their 1 year warranty and they replaced appropriately."

"Showed up when said they would. Power washed and waterproofed my deck. Cleaned my gutters. Very reasonable price. Thought they did an excellent job. Made sure everything was cleaned up before they left. I would hire them again."

"I contracted with Green Thumb to level a spot in my yard to install an above ground pool. I have since been warned by multiple experienced landscapers and a landscape architect that their leveling job is not fit for its intended purpose, as it simply cannot be guaranteed to to support the weight of the pool without a retaining wall to support the portion of the yard they built up above grade to achieve level. I am now hiring another company to come in and fix their unprofessional, unskilled work as it is clear after talking to them that they are either not knowledgeable enough to recognize the blatantly obvious issue or they simply do not care. I will pay them because I always keep my end of a deal even if I do not believe they have kept theirs, but my advice to others is to avoid this company at all costs. Update: Originally I left this review on their facebook page. Apparently it must have lowered their overall rating on facebook to a level below the owner's liking because he immediately deleted every other negative review from his facebook page (there were numerous), artificially increasing the rating back up to an insanely deceptive 5 stars. So I decided to post the review to other outlets. I mean wow, you should have seen some of the pictures unhappy customers had posted on his facebook account before he deleted them all! In one particularly memorable photo, Green Thumb had planted a boxwood shrub directly into mulch (no soil) and left it half out of the ground, then when it died they refused to pay to replace it and plant it correctly. Seriously, don't work with this company."

"September 8, 2020, we entered into a $6,000+ contract for landscaping they said would be completed in October. The contract states 30% due upon signing (we paid $3,000) and 70% upon completion. When they didn't show, we called and after a several week run-around, we finally got some of our items planted late November. In February, Zach asked us to pay for the partial work done; still no date for the remainder of our work. An installation date of mid-April was given, so my husband paid another $1,900, in good faith (shame on him). At some point an installation date of mid April was then moved to mid May; same nonsense as last fall. Now, Zach and Mike will not call us. We have no recourse but to work with Visa to withdraw our payment. In addition, at least 2 of the trees planted late November appear dead and the rest don't look good. The trees, which are large, were not staked, except for one stake that the installer removed from our existing tree without asking permission. Don't trust their word, follow the contract and go somewhere else if you want the work done in a timely manner."

"Crew of 2 did a great job, worked carefully but quickly and finished in 7 1/4 hours including clean up. Two yard waste cart-fulls and 22 lawn bags of material removed, 11 bags of mulch put down in front area. Looks really nice, better than when I moved in 5 years ago."

"The Barrett place was wonderful, they have great plants in their that is good for the garden. They're very helpful in there."

"Overall, we're very pleased with the job M & P did for us. Erosion was a problem near the foundation on one end of the house. My husband called the company and an estimator was sent out. He submitted a bid which seemed high, but we decided that if a few tweaks could be made to the work proposal, we'd go with it rather than go to the trouble of gathering more bids. In an effort to talk over contract changes and confirm acceptance, my husband left several voice messages with Doug and, finally, with Mike at the company number. No one called back after 3 or 4 attempts. M & P ALMOST LOST THE CONTRACT OVER THAT. In our opinion, that kind of inattention is unforgiveable in business. Fortunately for both parties, our last-ditch call was ultimately returned and the deal was made. The crew showed up on the appointed day. They started digging around 8:30 and were finished in just two hours They had created a perfectly symmetrical gravel bed that looked as if it has always been there. The area was so tidy when they left, there was no evidence that any construction had even taken place. We think the price of the project was higher than most companies would have charged, given that it was just two hours of labor and the materials were less that 10% the cost of the project. But having the job finished to our complete satisfaction makes the cost more justifiable and worth it to us. Best of all, the remnants of Hurricane Gordon just moved through today, and the project performed exactly as it was meant to. There is no mud puddle at the bottom of the slope like there would have been before M & P did their magic."

"It went very good. They were on time, professional, helpful with their suggesstions and they give you a call when there's an issue. We've been very satisfied with their service. They're easy to work with and I've never had any problems with them."
