Recent Lawn Landscaping Reviews in Elkins Park
- Plymouth Nursery & Landscape CompanyFantastic work by John and his crew! We hired Plymouth Nursery and Landscape Co. after seeking out multiple companies for our property needs. John's extensive knowledge, expertise and overall passion for plants made me feel like we were in very good hands. The entire process was thorough and yet allowed for additional improvising depending on our needs. Lots of credit to the crew, who worked in challenging weather conditions and handled the stone work, landscaping, lighting and irrigation systems with patience and skill. I appreciated having a detailed layout of our plans so we had a clear understanding of the project and all the materials/plants being used. I was able to give John a vision and he brought everything to life in a way I could have never imagined. I will admit that this project was quite expensive and we also added on to our initial bill. It was an expense that will further add to making our house our home--one that I am very proud of when I pull up my driveway. Thank you very much to John and his crew for the exceptional work! I'm confident we'll continue to use your services for years to come
- Royal Landscapes, LLCSteve from Royal Landscapes promptly gave me a fair estimate on a drainage issue I was having at the corner of my house. His excellent crew trenched the downspout and tied in my sump pump outflow pipe to drain down the side of my property to a popup. They even cleaned up the weeded side and replaced with river rocks. The side now looks professionally landscaped. Very impressed with their work. I would highly recommend them and will use them in the future
- Custom Gardens LLCEllen has redesigned gardens for me at two separate locations, each time offering excellent, well-informed planning in which I was included as fully as I wished. We met beforehand to visualize plans, then Ellen followed up with plant and garden layout suggestions. If changes were needed (very few), she cheerfully adjusted the plans. She offered interesting choices. When our plans were set, she purchased the plants and her expert team saw that they were put into place carefully. I've received many compliments on each of my gardens, and I can't recommend Ellen't work highly enough! My second garden is smaller than my first. The second garden needed plant removal and mulching after the new plants were in place
- S&S LandscapingSMS landscaping did a wonderful job. I would definitely recommend them to a friend or a family member. I am looking forward to working with them again in the near future for my landscaping needs. I'll give them 5 stars.
- Luis Finest Lawn CareLuis did a wonderful job and my yard looks amazing. He was polite, friendly, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend him.
- Salgados Landscaping CompanyDomingo and his crew take pride in their work. They work smart and diligently. They follow my instructions and they make sure things are done to my satisfaction before they go. Great work ethics!
- Blue Sky LandscapingI've been using them for like 6 or 7 times already to do my yard design and install everything for me. They are very consistent and they are very professional.
- Everett Landscape Services LLCThe Everett Landscaping crew are very dependable and provide excellent service. They are upfront and honest with their price quotes. They work fast and leave the area clean and debris free. They went above and beyond carrying out the services I requested and showed they care about their customers and take pride in their work

- Jeffy B. PowerWashingA++. Awesome guy to deal with. Very quick, job was completed fabulously, Jeff has jokes for days if you can understand what he is saying. I would recommend to anyone.

"Parkyn properties delivered excellent service and great results.

"He came over to do the job and spent a good deal of time making measurements for his software.
<br /> Couple days past when he said he provided drawings.
<br /> The drawings initially didn't reflect our set-up.
<br /> We felt the design was not particularly creative. It involved taking out most of the plantings and making a 100 year old house look like a suburban tract house.
<br /> Very nice person. Professional and knowledgeable. Not a good fit for us

M&D Landscaping's mission is to provide the customer with professional lawn care and snow removal. We exist to attract and maintain customers. When we adhere to this maxim, everything else will fall into place. Our services will exceed the expectations of our customers.
"We are sad to say that we cannot recommend hiring M & D Landscaping. We hired M & D to complete some weeding and clearing in our yard. They ended up clearing, cutting, or destroying a large number of live perennials that had been recently planted. They also did not complete the weeding job to our satisfaction--leaving many or most weeds still in the ground by the roots--and in some places appearing to only use a weed whacker to cut weeds.
<br>
<br>We were disappointed with the quality of work, but assumed that it was an honest mistake. Mike was friendly upon initial estimate and we hoped to have them replace the plants that were taken out and complete the job that they started. Initially both owners denied any wrongdoing and refused to replace the plants that had been killed. Eventually they agreed to replant the plants that were taken out and finish the clearing work in the back of the house.
<br>
<br>Unfortunately M & D never followed up with a time and ignored repeated phone calls. When we finally got them on the phone they refused to return to the site to complete the job stating that they did not have a written contract, so could not be held accountable. They are correct that we made the mistake of working with them in the absence of a written contract, but we were very disappointed that they were not willing to return to our home to complete the work at a higher level of quality. We are still willing to work with them to resolve the problem.
<br>
<br>We would like to either have M&D return to our home to complete the work and repair the damage that was done (we believe it to have been a legitimate and honest mistake) or refund the full payment amount to cover the cost of paying someone else to complete their work and to cover the cost of replacing the damaged and destroyed plants. Hopefully the issue can be resolved quickly and honestly by the owners.
<br>
<br>Our hope is to follow this review up with a description of the work that they did to address our concerns and regain our trust as customers.
"Beechwood Landscaping did a great job of renewing this paver walkway. It is no longer a tripping hazard and looks great. They even came back another day to add mulch and restore the mulch bed that was disturbed during the paver work. High quality was clearly their mantra, and the price was reasonable.
