On Sat, I called and left a message saying we were stuck in the driveway and could not go out to dinner
because the driveway was not plowed.
As of today--Monday--the driveway has still not been plowed. I have received no contact from them.
Although Joseph agreed to contract to plow my driveway and clear the sidewalks,
he only did it once--after I called. This weekend he just left us with no plowing at all.
tance of Seasonal Landscaping who finished the back and side yards. The composite decking that was supposed to be Trex is some nameless knockoff that was installed so poorly, half the boards are popping up. The material that wasn't supposed to fade or chip, has done both. On top of that, the deck was installed without proper drainage above the basement sill plate and now we have leaking into the basement. They did not re-install the siding they removed until I threatened them and then we found out they had thrown it away. I will say their designer Richard List was a prince of a man and incredibly talented. How he ended up working for this outfit, I don't know. I do know he left because he was sick of the shoddy work. He did insist they install a Japanese Maple that I had paid for and had never been installed.
In the front yard, they sloped the ground toward the base of the house and I'm just amazed we didn't have leaks in the basement from that.
Did I get ripped off? I certainly did.
IN the Early Spring Joe, a company representative, came out and went over the entire yard with me asking for specific work we wanted done. He is incredibly knowledgable about all plants, names and their care which was helpful to us as some of our garden needed more TLC than I'd been giving it. He was willing to offer suggestions for future plantings in areas where the old plantings were dead dying or just needed refreshing.
We had them cut the lawn and trim the borders every week, and re-seed some areas of the lawn that had been bare.
The men who come to do the work are very nice and helpful, also knowledgable about plants. When they did not know answers they called on Joe or an arborist for answers for me. They did a fantastic job.
We also had them do a clean-up of all the gardens in the Spring, and we will have a Fall clean-up soon. We also contracted for them to prune all the bushes and ornamental shrubs on the property. Very happy with all the services thus far provided.
