We have been using them for about four years now. They charged $8000 for the job. We like them because they always come out with the same crew. They come out on a timely basis. They do their work quickly and efficiently. The yard looks very good when they are done.

Their service and response was not very good. They did come out and it took them about a month and a half to give us an estimate. My wife called them with some questions about the estimates and never got back any response. They didn?t get back to us at all. They delayed for a long time to give us the initial estimate. They didn?t charge us anything and it was a free estimate. We did compare the price that they charged from others later on. They were punctual in the beginning and they weren?t later on. Their professionalism was okay. We are not going to use them for the current project, but we would consider them if they come up with a decent price in the future.
Description of Work: Oakland Nursery gave us an estimate for some landscaping and hardscaping work about several months ago.

They did a great job! They were prompt, they drew a design and did exactly what they said they would do, and were professional. They replanted my existing shrubs at no extra cost. I had paid for smaller bushes but they had larger bushes available and brought them out and didn't charge me extra.

Excellent job up to the point of seeding. I wish I'd would not have listened to Warner, who stated he can match the side and back yards so"you won't be able to tell the difference". He said he'll use Penn seed( grass seed encased in a cellulose coating that will retain water for faster germination and no straw or covering needed). Long story short, he used the wrong type of seed when applying application and also had all of the seed along the outer edges and little or none in the center of yard. (see photos) First picture shows type of match I was after, all other pictures show what I got instead. I should have not paid the bill in full, as Warner and Oakland Park Nursery will not return any calls or emails. They did a great job and managed to totally ruin the final stage of the job. Stop by, I show anyone before they waste money hiring Oakland Park Nursery.
Description of Work: Wanted front yard replaced to match side and back yard. I sprayed to kill off existing lawn and Mike Warner and crew came in and removed old turf. They replaced with new topsoil, tilled, leveled and raked it to be ready for seeding. It was then seeded by Mike Warner.

Response from Oakland Nursery
The members account of the project is not accurate and is quoting other contractors as our conversation. The type of grass that he is unhappy with, was not our seed. The large bladed grass that is coming up is from last years lawn. He wanted to save money and do that portion of the job. However I am prepared to try to repair the lawn. Lastly, I, nor the owners of Oakland Nursery have ignored his calls or emails. The email and letter from Angie's List was the first we have heard from him.

My overall experience with them was very good, but we had a little miscommunication problem and was ultimately solved. They did an excellent job and it is nice and straight. Their price was better than the other two estimates I got.
Description of Work: We used the Qakland Nursery and they put in a retaining wall for my driveway and the work was finished yesterday.

Overall, it was great. The start of the major work was delayed due to weather. They weren't very proactive with communication but were very honest each time I called to check for a start date. Once the work started, there were no problems at all. Healthy plants went in according to design and the paver patio was installed quickly and with high quality. The fire pit is beautiful!
Description of Work: Oakland did two phases of landscaping and installed a paver patio.

Mike of ON provided me with a basic landscaping improvement plan with some options; fee for plan was $80.00; actual work was implemented about 6 weeks later; work of ON crew took about 3 days and was nothing short of perfect. Start to finish was very easy. The project went as well as it did because Mike created a a very good plan and the crew assigned to the work was meticulous. This is far and away the best experience I have had with a landscaping company in Columbus.
Description of Work: Provided a landscaping plan and subsequent work generally consisting of: (1) removal and replacement of a tree and shrub with new plantings; (2) removal and replacement of existing stone borders surrounding beds in front of house with new stone; (3) new paver stone patio in rear of house; (4) removal of chain link fence; and, (5) miscellaneous cleanup to landscaping.
