Description of Work
Came for an estimate and said they would get back to me. Never did. They gave my name and information, without my permission, to an employee who then called me and offered to come for an estimate on his own, as my project wasn't big enough for Rave's to do. Evidently they only work on expensive mansions in the area. I did end up employing this "sub contractor" who did a very nice job, but I was not happy about their sharing my personal information without my permission. They should have reccommended him to me, given me his name and number so I could have chosen to call or not. Non professional! I use Angie's list in order to get reviews from well known, previously reviewed and investigated companies. Didn't help in this case. I called and asked to speak to the owner to complain. They took my number but he did not call me back. Not rich enough I guess. I wouldn't reccommend Rave's to anyone but I have reccommended the sub contractor and will contact him again.

I visited their landscaping location to see variety of product and if their inventory looked healthy and well taken care of. Very pleased to find many, many species of plants and all looked very healthy. I will definitely be going back to purchase and ask for professional planting advise.

Rob is a great guy. I also bought two trees from him 10 years ago and they are beautiful. He recommended someone to put them in and the guy did a great job and was very professional. I really like Rave's and would recommend shopping for plants, flowers, trees and shrubs.

Scott Rave and his helper delivered 7 huge hemlocks and pine trees that were extremely heavy. We always dealt with them from when they were in Wyoming. The trees are beautiful and Scott was extremely careful in delivering and placing the shrubs. He went out of his way to secure the trees so they wouldn't tumble and break branches and limbs. I would recommend Scott Rave to anyone as they have the best quality in growing materials. I bought everything from him for years.

Overall, very satisfied with the job- designed/landscaped front yard. Initially job was going to be delayed by a few days but instead dedicated a full staff and was completed on time and in only 1 day. Very professional and responsive to requests. Incorporated boulders from back yard into design. May be pricier than other landscapers but this was quality work. Would recommend.

There were a couple of minor details that needed to be fixed after they completed the job. As soon as I brought them to Rob's attention, his team was at my house the next day fixing everything and making sure that we were happy with the product. When you work with Rave, they don't just come and do the job, Rob comes back to check in and make sure that everything is perfect. They are very attentive and responsive to the demands or requests of the client. I was very happy with the experience that I had with Rave Landscaping. Most of all, our yard looks like a professionally landscaped yard instead of a do it yourself job.
Description of Work
Rob Rave and the Rave Landscaping team did an amazing job with the design and execution of our home's landscaping. Our home is new construction and had no existing landscaping before Rob and his crew came in. After listening to what we wanted, Rob came back with a very professional and visually impressive blueprint for what our new landscaping would look like. Since we were not very well versed in what plants/trees/shrubs/flowers do best in our terrain and climate, Rob walked us through each and every plant that he recommended for us. Being a true professional, he thought of many aspects of the layout that we would have never considered if we had done it ourselves or worked with another outfit. To include what plants the deer eat, what plants do well in a windy environment, blooming schedules of various plants, and numerous other details that a novice would never have known. He was very thorough and very easy to work with throughout the process. His team of workers were very courteous and efficient. They were able to complete the plan in the time that they promised and most importantly, it looks amazing.

Description of Work
Rob Rave, owner of Rave Landscaping, Inc. has been doing work for my husband and me since he graduated from Penn State University and opened his business in Dallas,PA. Our association has been for 32 years.In 1980,Rob landscaped a one acre property for us on Orchard Lane in Clarks Summit PA. His work included building blue stone sidewalks, flagstone patios, fieldstone walls, and occasional pruning, fertilizing, and spraying.Throughout 25 years that we lived on Orchard Lane, Rob's work was praised by family, friends, neighbors, and strangers.During that quarter of a century the landscaping thrived and matured and provided the most beautiful setting for our home. Our new home in Dalton, PA., was completed in August 2007.Rob Rave designed the landscaping and hardscaping for our 2 acre property there.He had a new canvas to work on now.A much different lot and style house then our first one.He worked his magic on it.We loved the design.The plan was detailed and attractive.It included quantities, names, sizes, colors, and locations for every plant, shrub, grass, and tree.Also the layout for bluestone sidewalks, flagstone patios, and a waterfall.The cost for everything was itemized in his bid.The only revision we made was to replace some tall grasses with ground cover in one area and replace tall grasses with shorter ones in another area.The work was done in stages, beginning in 2007, and the majority completed in 2009, although it is still evolving. Beautiful landscaping done by a professional is a big investment.It requires upkeep.When we can't do the pruning, fertilizing, or spraying of shrubs and trees we contract with Rob to get it done.Just like our home, which is our biggest investment,we keep it up.

After seeing some very nice work done by Rave Landscaping on a nearby property I made an appointment. Rob showed up not long after the appointed time, after first calling that he would be a few minutes late. The work I was looking to have done was primarily the replacement of an existing front walkway and a new walkway to a detached garage. I had no specifics in mind and asked Rob to provide a suggestion. He suggested a flag stone walk to which I agreed. We also discussed running the front down spouts into underground lines and smoothing out a small area of land near the garage that is difficult to mow. Rob took some measurements and said he'd have something the following week. Shortly after the appointed time the following week, again with a call notifying me he would be late, Joel showed up with a drawing and a contract. Other than an outline of the proposed walkways the only measurement provided was the 4 foot width of the front walkway. Neither the drawing nor the contract provided any details of construction other than the agreed upon flagstone with bolder steps. There was no indication of when the work would commence or when it would finish. Despite the lack of work and schedule details the price and terms were very specific, including an immediate 50% down and another 25% at the half way point. I asked Joel about the underground lines for the downspouts and he stated "Oh I'm sure that's included in the price." I can't comment on price or quality, given I have very little idea of what they were proposing. However, any reputable businessman should have been embarrassed to present this contract for signature.

We are truly sorry about the confusion that was created through our bidding process however; we must disagree with the status of your evaluation. The potential customer called about receiving an estimate for hardscaping at his residence. After Rob met with the potential client, he took the measurements of the proposed areas where hardscaping was wanted. Rob then created a color design to scale that showed what the proposed areas would look like. During the presentation we told the customer the approximate square footage of the walkway and the approximate number of boulders that would be needed to get from the driveway to the entrance of the garage (the area where the potential client stated that it was difficult to mow). When the potential customer saw our price to conduct the project, it became very clear that the price was exceeding his expectations. The potential customer asked us if there were any cheaper options and we explained to him that the boulder steps were the cheapest option our company could offer him in the hardscaping department. He then stated that the price was absolutely too high and that the price was too extravagant for the design of his home. After those comments were made, I asked him if he still had Rob’s number and told him that if he had any questions or concerns that he could call Rob and Rob would certainly communicate with him. We also left the scaled, color design with him at no charge. The design we left with him is normally a $150 value alone, not to mention the time and fuel expenses used during the bidding process. To comment on receiving an immediate 50% down, we never demanded or became aggressive on receiving it that day. We simply put the current date on the contract and left space to write in any plausible stipulations upon the potential client’s request. If the potential client would have decided to sign on with our company at a future date, we would have presented a new contract with his stipulations upon request. We appreciate anyone’s interest in choosing Rave Landscaping for residential and commercial needs, and we are dedicated to making all experiences as professional and satisfying as possible.Other local Pros in your area
