PULVER'S LANDSCAPING & DESIGN

I called them. The lady who took the call seemed amateurish. She staggered over getting the simplest of details (contact info, etc.) A rep called back promptly (within an hour or so). He said he'd come out that same day to give an estimate. He told me he'd give me a call in the afternoon to let me know he was coming. He called around noon and said it would take about 25 minutes to get to my house. He was a bit late (30 minutes late). He arrived in a spiffy white uniform and truck. We went over different aspects of the job. I just wanted a bit of landscaping to my tiny front yard. He wanted $170 to trim out a 3'x3' section of dead wood from the front of my climbing roses, cut back those roses (they were about 7' h x 8' w), and plant another little rose bush in front. The price jumped to $550 if I also wanted about 6-7 wheel-barrows of mulch thrown down in pre-existing flower beds (and cleared out). I found his prices to be exorbitant. To me the whole thing was sharp-practice.
