Results were fabulous.  Their proposal was detailed and understandable.  They got my project on the schedule and adhered to the schedule.  The crew was very neat and clean at the end of each day.  The quality of the installation was great.  I have never taken on this type of project before but the owner, Tom Watson, walked me through the proposal, made suggestions as far as patio design and ensure his crew executed as promised.  I would definitely use this landscaping company again.
Response from Finishing Touch Landscape Co LLC
"Outstanding, was also what I would say my experience was with working with this customer. I was given the opportunity to design a paver patio space that she could entertain and enjoy with family and friends. With her input on design thoughts and size, I was very excited when I found out that we were going to create this space for her. Everything turned out looking Great"

I chose not to have the work done due to budget, time constraints and my own personal health issues.

"Wow, way back in April of 2012, I have to be honest, I can not recall this persons project or yard, oh and by the way I truly doubt that I was over whelmed."

It went great. They were prompt, honest, friendly, and the end result exceeded our expectations. The owner, Tom, was always quick to respond to questions and offered up suggestions on how to improve the look (without pressuring me to spend more money).  Would definitely hire them again in the future.
Response from Finishing Touch Landscape Co LLC
"Wow, now that was fun. I truly enjoyed working with this customer in re-building the retaining wall in front of there home, from (1) tall wall to (2) walls that created a planting bed. What a change and new look to the front of the home. With the lighting we added really added the "Finishing Touch" to the entire project."

"What a nice customer to have had the chance to meet and work with. Because of the backlog from all of the Spring rains, it took a bit of time to get to this customers project, but we finally did and everything turned out very nice."

The owner, Tom, came to visit us and he was very prompt. During the meeting Tom was enthusiastic and came up with numerous creative ideas. He promised to get back with me quickly but I never heard from him again.
When I chased Tom up, he was apologetic and he stated that he definitely wanted to submit a quote. Again, I never heard from him and I left a message on his answer phone, but we had no response so I gave up.
I hate giving contractors failing grades but under the circumstances I dont think I have any option.

"I had this customers proposal all written up and failed to finalize it and get it back to them, my fault, I should have completed it."

I had a 20 year old tie wall that I removed. I did not want to replace the wall,(to expensive )I decided to put the yard back the way it was before I put the wall in. Slope it to the back of my property. The city was fine with that before and are fine with it now . The City of St Peters engineer had already said that I could do this and told me only thing they require is a 3 to 1 slope. Tom said he wanted no part of that because water would go down on the yard below me a wall was the right way to do this. Did not give me a bid for the grading. I will get back with the engineer and let him know he's wrong. I think grading is not what he wants to do. $11,000 (approximately) wall is the only way to go.

Review Update 7/13/2013 The C rating was because I asked Tom to give me a bid for doing the wall that he recommended. He said he was not going to waste his time giving a bid, because I was not going to do the wall. I said then we are done and he left. He never took any measurements, we never discussed anything about the wall.  He called me not long after he left, I missed the call and he left a voice mail with that $9920.00 price and a good luck with my project.  The C rating is a fair rating.
Response from Finishing Touch Landscape Co LLC
"I work with many customers with many situations and I provide what I feel is the best solution for there project as well as neighboring properties around there home. After seeing this project I did not feel, even though the city approved what this customer wanted to do was really the proper solution. My company does grading like this, if this property backed up to a wooded lot, I would have had no problem taking on this project, we have done work like this before in the past. I, as a business owner have a right to walk away from a project. They had gotten other bids of $14,000 and $10,000 for the wall project, I gave them my price of $9,920.00. for a retaining wall. A smaller wall would have been a solution also and cut the wall cost in half. A "C' report is not appropriate here. The home owner would have spent at least half of original retaining wall bids amount with removing all of the dirt and haul away fees."

Went great. Tom was very responsive and available to answer any questions. Never tried to upsell any services. Only recommended things that should be done. I was very appreciative of the fact that Tom suggested we complete our landscaping in stages to avoid the cost all at once. Would definitely recommend finishing touch landscape co. and will use them for future projects.

They provided me with HOPE.. They seem and I still believe they are Dependable Contractors who know what they are doing.  However, when i have to follow up with a contractor  more the once only shows me they are suffering going pains.  I can understand larger jobs have higher priority.  Just  call and inform the customer " I know we said 3 to four weeks however...."  I am just up set the sprinker, and landscaping was all on hold until the patio was put in.  I asked to rescind the contract and they were kind and done so.  In short.. i feel they are good contractors just get a starting date..  This was a lost for both  I wish them luck

Tom and his team did a fantastic job.  They showed up when he said they would, and they worked hard until the job was done; there was no wasted time.  I had to wait for quite some time for his team to do the work, but it was worth the wait.  They did a professional job, and the front of our house looks beautiful!  Tom is a perfectionist, his standards are very high, and he wants everything to be just right.  He is definitely someone I trust, and I feel comfortable hiring him to do a job; because I know it will be done right.   

Response from Finishing Touch Landscape Co LLC
"I truly enjoyed the opportunity to get to know this couple and have the opportunity to work at there home. There happiness when we were done meant very much to me. There was allot of time that went into the planning of all the work we did to the front of there home, from stone type and color to plant design and selection to installation and more. You can certainly say we put the Finishing Touch to the front of there home. Everything turned out looking incredible."

No return call for estimate. I had to call him a second time. He did come out and said he would have an estimate in 7-10 days. That was 2-3 weeks ago. Don't bother.

Edit to posting on 6/3/13: Tom called on 6/4/13 to tell me he had emailed his proposal but he did not have the correct email address. Advised him that in fairness, I would edit my review to reflect this. I do appreciate him taking the time to call.
Response from Finishing Touch Landscape Co LLC
"I called and spoke with this customer, I explained to him that I did send a proposal to them after about a 2 weeks. I had not heard anything from them. Then I seen this report, I called them and go to find out I had sent it to a e-mail address that did not get kicked back to me, it was a working e-mail but was not my potential customers. These people said they understood that and would gladly change this report, they have not changed yet. Sometimes these things happen."

We planned the steps I'll need in the fall and next spring to getting my yard to rights with his help. Everything else, all the smaller projects I can work on now with knowledge he gave me for free! Took his time, a buisinessman and gentleman.

Tom showed up as scheduled to bid on our projects. This was on April 23, 6:30 pm.  Today is May 23, and I have not heard from him since.
Response from Finishing Touch Landscape Co LLC
"Sometimes I find myself behind on getting bids back to potential customers. Everyone's project is important to me, so I don't turn down much work, but then I also find that I go on 25 to 35 appointments a week and after 4 weeks, well you can see how things can get backed up. We are growing."

Tom Watson, owner, did come out on 4/29 look at the space and committed to getting back to us with a bid.  After  a week and a half, we called to get a status.  He informed us that he had not had time to work on it but he would do it over the weekend and get back to us.   After several more weeks with not hearing from them, we called him again and he again told us that he hadn't had time to work on it.   During this whole time they never contacted us to let us know that they were "too busy" to get to us.   We had other bids done and were holding off on making a decision until were got their bid.   A little communication from them could have gone a long way and prevented us from delaying our project by several weeks.   Obviously we want be using them for our patio project.
Response from Finishing Touch Landscape Co LLC
"I e-mailed my proposal to this customer a few days after I told them I would, not sure why they did not receive it. I asked them if I could verify the e-mail address and resend it and they said no. I did the work I was expected to do and was excited to hear back from them and get the opportunity to work at there home."

No work has been performed to date.  No bid has been received.  Ms. Watson was at my home over a month ago and stated I would receive a bid in about a week. No follow up to let me know anything.  Poor customer service.  I read all the wonderful comments about this provider prior to calling.  Very dissappointed

Tom came by and advised what we could do to correct drainage issues and improper grating in the yard.  He also advised on our back patio as his brother (Hungry Carpenter- awesome too) would be building our deck.  He had creative but very practical ideas.  He has great vision and communicates it well.  He's a down to earth, honest guy.  We loved talking to him, we loved the ideas.  We walked through the front and back yards and he gave us lots of pointers on our lawn and existing plants.
This was just yesterday so we are still waiting on the quote.  I am hoping it is as reasonable as the deck quote his brother gave us was.  We are looking forward to working with him and having a beautiful and functional yard!

Great experience.  Tom promptly sent me an email and set up appointment for getting an estimate.  I accepted and he scheduled the work for approximately three weeks later.  E-mailed me that he would be here on Wednesday but then showed up on Monday.  Did all the tear out work on Monday and finished the job on Tuesday.  When he e-mailed me that the work would be started he had no problem when I asked if more could be added.
Great looking work.  My girlfriend is always sceptical about stuff but she was very pleased with the work also.

Tom is great. He is so postive you WANT him to do the work. He was prompt in coming out to give bids on planting a dogwood tree and diverting the output of a sump pump by adding a good length of underground pipe to flow water to an inconspicuouspop up valve. He took away our sogginess around the front porch and side of house (my neighbor must be pleased also). The tree is lovely and budding now. Tom is quite professional and knows his business on the horticultural and the hardscaping side. I plan on using him again to help me landscape the back of the house. His very pleasant and efficient crew are wonderful

"Yes, as the Customer mentioned this is the second paver Patio we have built for them. First one was at a rental property they own and this one was at there home. Everything turned out looking very nice. I look forward to future project with them."
