I've used them for several years to maintain a midsized suburban lawn. The current fee for this is $165 monthly. The crews show up on time, are courteous, and do a good job, but there are improvements the company could make. Even though the fee is billed monthly, in December and part of January there is no service. The lawn is dormant, but if I'm paying monthly, I expect some kind of yard maintenance that could be done during the winter in return. I've also had spotty service fixing lawn irrigation issues, and the staff is not well trained about limiting damage or cleanup issues to the home related to their work. Leaf blower use damages the siding and removes topsoil, and edge trimming often sprays mud up onto the walls, which must be cleaned up frequently. I think they rely too much on leaf blowers instead of using rakes in areas where the blowers create problems. The company has never asked for my feedback about their service and how it could be improved.

Hi [Member Name Removed], Thanks for the review. We appreciate the feedback and we are sorry you are not satisfied. We will work on training our crews better to clean up after themselves and better take care of the yard. Our service is every other week in December and in January. We service all our our maintenance customers both months usually two times in the month depending upon which day their yard service is. Your yard was serviced twice in December and twice in January. If you have any other lawn irrigation issues we are happy to fix them if you could give them office a call and I can give you the managers numbers for both maintenance and irrigation issues. Thanks again for your feedback and we hope to improve.melissa V.

We hired Preferred Landscaping to replace our run down lawn with Syn lawn and power wash our pavers and replace the sand. They were easy to communicate with and understood what we were looking for as far as design. We ended up having some trouble with our downspout drainage and asked if they could add that to the job and Dave very quickly accommodated us and was able to take care of that as well. All the guys on the crew were polite and friendly. We now have a beautiful backyard that we are proud for people to see. We are so happy with our choice!

Our yard definitely looks a lot better but we were unhappy about several things. The regrading on the north side of the house didn't fix the standing water problem. A number of areas of the new lawn died and they wouldn't replace the sod but said that the grass would regrow in the fall. It didn't do so although a small part of it did regrow. They failed to put in a sprinkler head to reach some rose bushes and said they would come back and fix it but didn't. They kept saying that it would be finished in a week or two and months later it still wasn't done. We had to keep putting off another contractor because they still weren't done.

We have had Dave & his diligent crew help us multiple times with landscape design & yard maintenance. They have created stairs, put in water sources, sprinkler system repair, planted, fall & spring clean-up, & our favorite landscape lighting. They are always prompt, efficient & clean-up very thoroughly. Whatever project they have done has been quality. I would highly recommend their services.

David and his crew did an awesome job! David met with us and helped us execute our vision. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. They did a great job tearing out the lawn, removing bark, moving the irrigation system, planting trees, pouring a new patio, and placing stepping stones. David and Carlos (the foreman) paid great attention to detail and made sure everything was accurate and complete. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely hire them again.

The crew was very punctual and professional. The job was completed in 2 days. There were some problems with the new sprinkler heads popping off due to water pressure. The sprinkler heads were replaced and the water pressure was adjusted. A great job overall!
Description of Work
Five small tress were removed in the backyard, replaced by 6 hydrangeas. Bark dust was spread over bare ground. Three new steps were created down to the hydrangea beds. The step area was covered by gravel. New sprinklers were installed using the existing sprinkler leads.

Steve and his team are always on time, very knowledgeable, and keen on making the finished job as personally satisfying as possible. They planted only pet friendly flowers and trees as requested, and pulled together a beautiful backyard I am proud to own. Steve works on a budget established up front, and makes adjustments only after discussion with his client. I was especially happy the crew was quiet in the early morning when possible, allowing my neighbors to sleep! Very thoughtful! We have also chosen this team to do weekly maintenance. I am so happy when I get home from a long day and see my yard. It looks great all the time now. Its all about the details. I highly recommend this business for any landscaping need, big or small. You will not be disappointed.

At first i liked them but the plant failed and the customer service, they died because of lack of response. so I think it was the customer service that is not really good.

This work was done nearly 3 years ago, and we have never heard from this customer since the job was completed. We strive to provide top notch and excellent customer service, and we hit that mark nearly 100% of the time. Sometimes though we are more human. That being said, this customer has not ever reached out to us since the job was completed.Matthew W.

I called to check availability to fix a leak in my system. Steven called me back within about an hour. When I described what was happening, instead of scheduling an appointment he gave me likely causes and a couple things to check before scheduling anything. He even offered to consult over text or FaceTime if I needed help. His tips were exactly right and my system was up and running in less than 10 minutes! He was awesome.

Our experience with Preferred was really terrific. I found my interactions with Steve, who bid our job, to be very informative. He responded to my questions in a timely manner over email or via cell phone text. He provided me a terrific contact at Farmington Gardens so that I would be able to choose and purchase my plants ahead of the start date. On the day of the job, Steve arrived and introduced me to his crew - Roberto and Lisaur. He walked through the yard and explained to his crew what we had planned to do. Roberto and Lisaur were such hard workers, very polite and thorough every day they worked at our home. They cleaned up after the job was over and we are very happy with our new functioning sprinklers and landscaped areas.

Aaron and his team were right on time. They walked around the yard with us and we discussed what we wanted done and made a priority list. The two men who did the work did a great job! They cleaned up and repaired the places where they had dug up the shrubs so the ground was level. They hauled away all the debris and cleaned out all the plant beds. They also fertilized the grass. We have used Preferred several times before for hardscaping and sprinkler installation but this is the first time we have had a crew come and do clean-up, pruning etc. Aaron and his team had the same attention to detail, commitment to doing a good job and standing by their work as David and his team had. We highly recommend them!

This contractor will not answer your messages with a message, they will just tell you to call them. So, if you want to hire a contractor that knows how to communicate via message or email, don't hire this contractor.

This member reached out to us via a text message, and within 12 minutes we responded to that initial message. We let this member know that although we do communicate via messages, we don't schedule appointments that way. We have always found it better to actually talk to the person and set the appointment. We find that we can get the information over the phone in much more detail and then schedule the appointment for an appropriate amount of time. This system doesn't work for everyone, and we do apologize for that. If that is a must have for someone, then Preferred Landscape might not be the best fit. I am not sure how we could be fairly graded on quality when we performed no work and didn't have a meeting. I am also not sure how we could be given a bad grade for responsiveness when we responded to all 3 of the members messages within 16 minutes at most. (It was 12 minutes for the first message, 7 minutes for the second and 16 minutes for the third.) Also, our replies to this member were extremely polite and professional, so again, not sure how we could be given a poor grade on professionalism.Chuck S.

When Dave got done with my French drain i told him i was having trouble with my pond in the back yard. Every year I had to rebuild it, leaks, leaves and debris. I asked for a quote to replace it and decided to have Preferred do another project for me. Again very please with the design and sound of the running water. The crew was very courteous and kept me informed of what they were doing and if liked the placement of the stone. My wife is very pleased with the results and can't wait to be able to sit outside when the weather gets warmer. THANKS Preferred!

I had some landscaping done about a month ago and was very pleased. I contacted Dave to get a quote for a french drain. My crawl space was flooding because of the recent heavy rains. Because of the last experience with Preferred I decided to go ahead with the project. They showed up early on the first day. It was a fairly dry day so work went along as planned. The next day it poured and the crew was able to show me how much water was going into the trench and how it was flowing. They finished it up on the next day. I'm very happy on how it look and I know that it works. Will be calling Preferred for my next project! Special THANKS to the hard working crew.

Description of Work
I called Steve in the landscaping side of the business. He came out at the scheduled time to give me a quote of what I needed done. I hired him on the spot, not because of price but the way he walked around with me explaining everything. JOB 1 I needed to remove and replace my four very large arborvitaes. They were overgrowing the sidewalk and driveway.. He was amazed how large and magnificent they were. The four of them filled his dump truck. We agreed and scheduled the work to be done in my timeframe. The crew was very good! I was very impressed! JOB 2 I own the property next door and needed some work done there too. I have 50 feet of 20 foot plus tall arborvitaes that needed to be cut down to 12 feet. Needed 2 more to be added to fill in some empty spots. Cut down 2 cherry trees that were dying and plant a Japanese lace maple.

Very well. Dave met with me to understand what I wanted and put together a design at no charge. Another company did the same but Preferred was the company I chose to proceed with. They scheduled me several weeks out. The crew was professional, courteous and pleasant. The job took about 5 work days spread out over about 10 total days. The result was fantastic!
Description of Work
My backyard never drained well and was sloped but still was a muddy mess all winter long. In the summer, the low point was still muddy and overall it was pretty blah. I wanted to level it up, fix the drainage, and make it attractive. That required stripping out the old lawn, putting in about 75' of retaining wall (bricks), brining in good soil, repositioning sprinklers, and adding plants, trees and bark.

Using a combination of river rock, lava rock, and gravel, David designed a space that looks amazing and will serve us well for years to come. David was also flexible with the design and kept the backyard from looking like just a quarry with thoughtful placement of the lava rock in decorative shapes. They took an overgrown, unmaintained backyard that was never used and turned it into a really lovely hardscaped area that we use all the time. I highly recommend David Jensen and Preferred Landscape Services.
Description of Work
We used Preferred Landscape Services to do a complete overhaul of our backyard. We had a limited budget and they worked with us on the design and labor to allow us to stay within budget. I had a vision of making my backyard into a zero-maintenance space that I could use for entertaining as well as personal enjoyment.
