It went fine and he was very nice man. But the painter I used if you get to that, I love them. It was a good company. I didn't need a company that was so involved, I just needed somebody to help me take some things away but they were very nice and very gracious.
Description of Work
I had used William J. Barry Landscaping last year. I just needed him to take some land waste away and he started out wanting to charge me $400 but he went down to $200 for he was in the area.

I contacted Mr. Barry and set-up an approximate appointment time. Mr. Barry arrived and was very pleasant to talk to. He provided answers to my questions and seemed very interested in working on my lawn. Before giving me an estimate, he wanted to mark the low and high spots to make sure we were both on the same page. Unfortunately he did not have any stakes/flags with him at the time. He left with the understanding that he would call me the next day to set-up an appointment after he checked his schedule. It has been more than two weeks now and I have not heard from him. I guess he doesn't want my business.
Description of Work

Our lawn was really very bad last summer. It had strange weeds and I couldn't do anything about it. I had to make a couple phone calls to Mr. Barry and he finally came out. He looked at the lawn and identified the weeds and talked about what he could do about it. I told him I also wanted to reduce a flowerbed in size. He gave me a reasonable verbal estimate. He said he would come back and also send me a written estimate. I called him after a couple weeks and he said he'd get back to me. He never did. In mid-November I wrote him a long letter and outlined what had happened. I told him I had gotten his name from Angie's List and I told him I didn't like to give a negative report but I was still open to work with him. I would have been happy for him to tell me the job was too small and I could have found somebody else. To this day I have never heard from him. He was very nice. Everyone thinks I'm crazy that I'm considering giving him another chance.
Description of Work
William J Barry Landscaping came out in late October to help me with my lawn and to look at reducing the size of a flowerbed.

Nothing to describe or report on.
Description of Work
I spoke with the owner and he came to my house same day to look at what I wanted done. I went through everything with him. He seemed very knowledgeable and I thought he would be someone I could see hiring. He said he would have an estimate to me within 3 days. After a week, I called him because he still had not communicated with me. He said he should have something to me the following day. Almost 3 months later, I still have not heard from him.

They were very professional, showed up on time and did what they said they would do. They understood what was best to do with the different types of plants that I have. They did not start from scratch and create an entire front yard or backyard experience for me, but I have used them for lawn maintenance work. I would rate them highly and would use them again in the future; in fact, they are meant to do my ongoing lawn service.
Description of Work
I used William J Barry Landscaping for some cleanup work. They mulched the entire backyard and front yard as well as trimmed every single bush and also some of the trees that I have.

They were nice. The problem was that I had a fence. It was mutually agreed that certainly wouldn't do the work because they couldn't get their equipment in. I would probably not use them in the future.
Description of Work
I used William J Barry Landscaping to get an estimate probably abut a month ago. They were quoting me for lawn cutting and for cutting some trees.

Positives: completed work @ 80% of the time. Downsides: lawn mowers tore up my ivy on two occasions; first time responded politely and provided some trimming to compensate; second time was quite rude and told me I would need to "pay more" because their machines are "too big" to cut my grass near the ivy (it's close to a tree in one of the spots they tore up). Their snow removal equipment broke down early last winter and they were not able to clear snow as promised. Prices were somewhat high though I would had paid if they had behaved professionally.
Description of Work
Dates and money spent approximate. Company provided leaf cleanup, lawn mowing, shrub trimming, and snow removal for the last couple of years.

He did not call me back right away, but did call the next day. He said he typically does not do that work, but was willing to check out the work anyway. I really appreciated that.

We appreciated Mr. Barry's personal attention and care, as well as his having stayed within his estimate about both time and money.
Description of Work
Mr. Barry transformed a long-neglected garden and front yard for a wedding celebration. Among other services, he put down sod in the garden, uprooted harmful bushes and weeds, put down ivy and plants for the front yard, and placed pots of chrysanthemums all around. He had detailed knowledge about plants/ growing conditions and a very good eye for what would look good right away, as well as what would be sustainable for the future.

Company's owner returned my call promptly and showed up on appointed day and time. He was cordial and clear in his appraisal of my needs and provided a fair estimate. Company followed through on using the township calendar to schedule leaf pickup, and called me to confirm I was interested. Leaves were nicely removed as were thousands of pine needles (yea!).
Description of Work
Hired company to mow lawn and for fall leaf removal; so far they have mowed the lawn and removed leaves once. Only billed for mowing so far.
