Very professionally done with workers who had an excellent eye for detail. They worked tirelessly and in extremely hot weather. They first weeded and removed un wanted grass then trenched for the edging stone. Love the stone. All the beds were then filled with mulch. It took 2 days for this work. A third day required them to install the 3 granite steps between the upper front yard and
the lower back yard. The stairs were hand dug and the stones hand laid and leveled. The narrow passage from front to back was cleaned and lined with smooth stone and pebbles. I love it. All work areas were cleaned and left pristine when they were finished.
I hope to do further landscaping in the near future and will definitely call on Professional Landscape Service for the work. The owner made the original estimate and came the first day of work to introduce me to his crew and go over everything.
We were very happy with the result. It essentially looked as if the steps magically appeared one day. The surrounding area was very neat and tidy, and although they used larger equipment to maneuver the steps into place, the lawn was no worse for wear.
"Mr. [member name removed], Thank you very much for your review. It is a pleasure to have worked for you. Dave"
His mulch work is excellent. Highly recommend.
The flower box retaining wall was not built as requested. We had to adjust mid-project which Dave agreed to finally after much discussion and more money. Pre project drawings would have been a good idea on my part.
Topsoil and seeding the backyard had some issues. Not enough cover material was provided to keep the soil moist. There were multiple entirely uncovered spots. We complained and Dave sent another truck but complained about multiple loads. The quote clearly required him to do this. About 30% of the grass did not take, so we requested reseeding. After much discussion, he came out despite the fact the quote contained a guarantee. He also fished for compliments on the mulch work when we called to complain about the seed work.
In 2011 we requested a quote on a patio. Dave's quote was economical. We asked for drawings based on our experience with the flower boxes and Dave said it was not necessary. Two things made us go with another contractor. One with only slightly higher prices did drawings and seemed more professional. Also, the stone supplier that Dave recommended did not recommend Dave as the installer when we went to look at stone. We went with the second contractor and they did a great job.
Fast forward to spring 2013. We asked Dave to quote mulch work this year. He came out to look and give us an estimate. When he saw the patio, he asked why he wasn't given the job and I explained our concerns about drawings and the flower box issue. He asked if the contractor who built the patio did mulch (a very petty comment). Dave said he would email me a quote and left. The next day, I received a simple email: "Sorry not interested. Thank you for your time." Clearly a response to us not picking him for the patio.
In summary. Dave does great mulch work. Our experience on larger jobs was not as good. The job got done but with much discussion and more money in the case of the flower boxes. He is also very unprofessional when he feels slighted or when the quality of the work is discussed.
I was very pleased with the services offered by PLS. I would definitely recommend his company to anyone needing landscaping. PLS truly lives up to it's name PROFESSIONAL Landscape Service Inc. It was a pleasure to do business with Mr. Tumminello. He went "above and beyond" what most companies would do to please a customer. Other landscaping companies should take note.
