Bill did a bunch of landscape work for us over 2 years. In 2016 his crew cleared out old over grown old landscape all around the house. In spring of 2017 his crew created a 500 sf paver patio, re-graded yard, added drainage pipes and river stones area in one corner of yard. All work was excellent.

The team shows up every Thursday afternoon to cut our lawn, weed whack, and blow off all the hardscapes. They do a great job and listen to our requests. Bill himself even came out to look and address a sprinkler head that had been damaged.

Bill's estimate came in significantly lower than another bid we received, so I was skeptical, but he had great reviews on here and with an acquaintance of mine, so we hired him. Getting the initial estimate and a confirmed start date took a little longer than I'd like, but quality work takes quality time. When his crew showed up, I was out of the country and my wife was home with our two young kids. When Bill's crew found a draining pipe that was in the way (from our central A/C system), one of his men went to our local hardware store, bought new PVC pipe and plumbed it himself. They didn't charge us for this, other than just asking my wife for some cash to get the pipe. Their flexibility was much appreciated.
In the end, their work was excellent - the wall looks great, a huge improvement over the previous one. There was one issue with some dust on the wall that wouldn't come off. Bill came back personally to take care of it without a problem.

They did a good job. I would recommend them. They have friendly staff and the price was high but it had to get done.

The initial contact with Bill was fine; he showed up on-time, was friendly, and gave sound advice. Scheduling the work to proceed took longer than expected, but as it was late spring, the delays were acceptable. The employees that performed the work were friendly and performed quality work. The major complaints with this landscaper is the follow-through. My wife and I initially watered the lawn via two garden hoses (approx. 1 hour per night) before we paid to have a sprinkler system installed (different contractor). The grass was not growing in well for 80% of the yard, but the weeds were rampant.
Several neighbors indicated that they have never seen new grass seed grow in with that density of weeds. A call to the landscaper was of no help either; they indicated that it was our fault for not watering enough. That was the only explanation they could give us (without coming out to look at the yard). We asked that they reseed (the contract said that they would reseed any bare spots), but the soonest that they indicated that they would come out was September (>1 month away).
My wife and I took it upon ourselves to re-mediate our lawn ourselves and from our own pocket. We have pulled approximately 500+ lbs. of weeds over the course of 1 month, and have reseeded the lawn using seed we bought at Home Depot. The lawn is finally starting to look acceptable, but with no thanks to Bill's. For the amount we spent on our landscaping, we would have liked to have seen better customer service and support. With how quickly the weeds have taken over our lawn, waiting over a month to reseed would be ludicrous. By the time the reseeding would take place, the lawn would likely be overrun by weeds again.
Conclusion: Bill's offers very reasonably priced lawn cuts, but I would avoid them for landscape design work. There are bound to be other landscapers out there that offer better customer service after the work is complete.

"We installed this lawn on July 10, 2013. On 8/2 we were informed that the customer was getting a sprinkler system. On 8/5, the customer called to question the progress of the lawn growth. I looked at the lawn on 8/7. I have no way of knowing if the lawn was watered efficiently in the interim, but it did not appear to be the case. On 8/20, the customer called again, this time concerned about the amount of weeds in the lawn. We informed the customer that the lawn would need to be cut because the weeds that grew in the lawn were never cut down and allowed to turn to seed, causing more weeds to grow. We instructed the homeowner to set the sprinklers to 30 minutes per zone and offered to reseed in September because September offers the highest germination rate. We did the reseeding in the last week of September and did not hear back from the homeowner about the lawn until we read their review. Bill"

They met me at the home more than once to go over the property and make sure all was being accomplished as per my expectations. The office personnel is also very polite and professional. I am also happy with their prices. No hidden fees, they gave me an estimate, and my biggest problem was they don't bill immediately. In addition to fixing what a previous landscaper damaged, they
have been caring for the property landscaping now for one month. My neighbors gave me thumbs up! I look forward to a long relationship.

They have done an excellent job there are no weeds in the lawn. My yard has never looked better and even into October the grass is still green when it has typically been brown in the past. Whenever I call them they are very professional and responsive on the phone. I would highly recommend using this company.

They would always pickup the phone. However they kept changing dates which is OK but not when coupled with my actual review below about the quality of service.
They spent 2 days doing the cleanup and the mulch but I had to call them to ask why it was not completely mulched. So they sent a person another day. The person mulched and then we went on vacation for 7 days. When we came back there was weed growing through the mulch so we asked them to come again. This time the owner came and they conducted some more services. Its been two weeks and the weeds are back through the mulch, so I am not sure what work he did here. We have been very disappointed with them. There is another local guy here who does our grass cutting and had done the spring cleanup for our neighbours. He has done a fantastic job and I had not hired him only because he was asking for 3000 instead of the 2200 that I paid Bill. I think I was penny wise pound foolish in this instance.

"Unfortunately, we did have to reschedule this job twice due to rain delays. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused; however, weather delays are very common in our industry and cannot be controlled. After we completed the work on the contract, a technician walked the property with one of the homeowners who brought the re-growth of weeds to our attention. We returned to spray round-up on the weeds free of charge. If we had known prior to this review that the weeds had returned again, we would have suggested a weed maintenance program. When weeds are as heavily established as they were at this property, they can return even with a layer of mulch because it is near impossible to remove the entire root system of every weed. Customer satisfaction is very important to us and we always strive to resolve any issues as they arise. We feel this job was no exception."

Wonderful experience.
Communication with the office was great. When any times needed to be changed due to weather or conflicts they were prompt to call and reschedule.
Started construction on the day that was promised and completed in the estimated time frame
All for all, from the office to the field workers - Wonderful

I contacted Bill's Scenic Landscaping to preform a spring cleanup. Two men came to my home to do the work. I must say that they did a wonderful job. My yard looks wonderful. As for the price, I am not sure if it was a fair price or not as I did not get any other estimates. They did do a great job though. I will call them for the fall cleanup. This week I also have them coming over to give me an estimate on some landscaping repairs that need to be done.

He is a local guy. His prices are not great, he is a little bit more than other companies but his work is phenomenal. He does very good work and his customer service is great too. If I have issues with making a payment, he will work with me. It is a good company.

Bill is a pleasure to work with, as is his office staff. They were very professional and responsive from our first meeting to the completion of our project. Bill made and kept every appointment, took the time to explain the project to us, provided us with a detailed estimate and a tentative start date. Jennifer, in the office, called every morning to let me know what time the crew would be arriving and called me back promptly if I needed a question answered. When we had some concerns about the spacing of the shrubs or the number that was needed, Bill responded immediately, first calling and then showing up within the hour to correct the problem along with another separate crew. When it was completed and we noticed some additional minor spacing issues, he brought his crew back the next day and they worked in the rain until the work was done to our satisfaction. I'm not sure you can ask for anything more from someone who is working with you. Unfortunately there are too many people who disappear, don't show up or provide inferior work and responsiveness. Bill and his staff were a refreshing change to the nightmares you sometimes hear about contractors. I would highly recommend Bill's services for any landscaping needs you may have.
