From start to finish, from initial landscaping architectural design to property maintenance, Scape-Abilities has been professional, punctual, and attendant to personal preferences and needs. Landscaping design was the first step, with face to face meetings to review options with a landscaping architect and agree on design elements and budget. Once the final design was selected, installation was accomplished quickly and smoothly with minimal disruption. The end result transformed the property, exceeding expectations. They also successfully resurrected a chronically weed-infested lawn that I thought was beyond redemption. I have continued to use Scape-Abilities for property maintenance, and this work has been done in a professional and unobtrusive manner. I look forward to working with them on additional transformative landscaping elements in the future and will continue to use them for property maintenance. An absolutely first-rate provider.

We have been using Scapeabilities for various services for the past 3 years, and will continue to do so. We have found them to be competitively priced, honest, professional, and they do great work. The most impressive interaction we have had was when we called them (Dave is our main contact) to help us repair our fence, driveway, and lawn after a drunk driver crashed his car into our front yard. They bumped us into a priority position on their docket because of the nature of the damage, and they came in well under the allowance that our insurance company gave us for the repairs.

Initially, a design person explained various options at different price ranges. After deciding on a final solution, the work started shortly after and took a few days to complete. The end result looks great and we are very happy with the results.

They did exactly what I requested - pulled out certain shrubs, planted new ones, and reshape and replinishstone beds. But I didn't appreciate after agreeing to hire them, and immediately sending 1/2 the total cost as requested, not hearing from anyone for two weeks to confirm the receipt of my deposit or to provide scheduling information. I had to call them, at which time I was told there had been an issue with workers.

Scape-Abilities were very professional. They were easy to communicate with, on time and cleaned up after themselves. They answered all my questions.

It was a rather small job but they gave me a good price, they were punctual, and I have no complaints. I will probably use this company again in the future.

Great! After dealing with knucklehead contractors (before joining Angie's List) in a recent home renovation, it was refreshing to meet with a company who had a friendly, knowledgeable representative, was professional, punctual, and kept us informed. The work was preformed by a hardworking crew that was respectful of our home. They guaranty their work. Project turned our backyard from a place to be avoided to an oasis.
