Environmental Concepts completed the work in the timeframe promised. The workers were professional and skilled in their work - they worked steadily and did an amazing job. The yard is beautiful and we couldn't be more pleased. I would recommend them to anyone.

The cutting-in was sloppy and disappointing. The mulching was worse. Uneven, lumpy, and overflowing the edges leaving no clean reveal. They mulched around a trap that came off my sandbox which says a lot about the end result. The price was extremely high and the final invoice due to some last second extra work leaned towards price gouging.
Description of Work: I had basic landscaping done. Cutting-in the edges of existing gardens, cleaning them up, and re-mulching.

Response from Environmental Concepts Landscaping LLC
Unfortunately, we had not communicated concerning the issues before this review was written. We guarantee all of our work, and would have been happy to correct any problems at no charge. The edges were cut in with our professional edging machine, which typically leaves a crisp, clean edge. Perhaps the lawn was high and we should have string trimmed it first. Applying mulch is something we do on an almost daily basis ( over 500 yards applied year to date ) and never before have we had a complaint like this. I think maybe a rain event, that happened after completion, may have been the reason for the uneven mulch. The price quote was agreed upon, with a signed contract, prior to starting the work. The client reported that they were unable to complete the clean up and weeding, and asked us to perform the service at an additional cost. It took 14.5 man hours additional labor, but we only billed for 12 hours as a courtesy. At E.C.L. we pride ourselves on quality work. It saddens me to have to respond to such a negative review and would be happy to correct any mistakes we may have made.

Excellent job. But not sure the ivy is going to live. Doing a recent web search, ivy prefers shade but may tolerate sun. I wonder if the recommendation of ivy was a good one.

Actually ivy will thrive in full sun or deep shade. Keeping up with the watering and weeding until it is established is key to success.

The hill landscape is excellent, the holly did not live but is guaranteed and will be replaced in the spring. Rock and tree stump removal was as expected. They discovered and removed a unexpected hugh rock. Overall the yard leveling was very good. They also did additional fill-in leveling of the back yard that was not expected. I expected more significant leveling in one area by a dozer to flatten a ridge (my error for not confirming our interpretations of our discussion), spot fills were done, and a significant spot hidden by thick tall grass was missed. They came back promptly and filled in the missed spot, done very well and did grass reseeding in other parts of the lawn, notably after payment was made. Overall they go the extra mile.

Brent walked the area with us, took note of our thoughts and concerns and then within a few days gave us a plan along with his estimate. His estimate was the best of 3 that we got. He and his team did a great job. They came when they said they would and did the project within the estimated time. They cleaned up so well at the end of each day you could hardly tell they had been working here. The onsite guys were extremely professional, courteous and hard workers. The end result more than met our expectations. We would use Brent again and highly recommend his company.
Description of Work: We hired Environmental Concepts to re-landscape a severe backyard hill that had become overgrown with weeds and an eyesore. The project involved getting rid of the weeds, edging, and then putting down weed fabric, river rock and mulch around existing trees, bushes and flowers.

The crew showed up on time and we discussed what they were going to do. I asked one of them (sorry, forgot his name) if he could fix several small pavers on the perimeter of the patio that had settle more than others. Although this was not part of the contract he said it would be no problem. As it turned out, he actually fixed quite a few more of the perimeter pavers than I had asked him to do. I appreciated that very much. Overall, very satisfied with the outcome.
Description of Work: My 8 year old patio had settled in areas. Brent examined the situation and gave me several options on what could be done. We settled on a particular option and he sent me a written proposal. He gave me a realistic estimate of when the job could be done and did it as promised. I thought his price was fair.

Brent is amazing. Trusted him with the exterior design of my yard and he did not let me down. I get complements from neighbors all the time. I gave Brent some general ideas of what I wanted and he sketched an design that turned out far better than I hoped. Do not hesitate to use his company to improve the look of your home. I was so impressed that I plan on using him again for some hardscaping in the back of my house. Excellent Job to Brent and his whole team.

I was extremely impressed with the service that I had received. Brent and his guys were polite, punctual and professional. From the repair of the patio that went perfectly to the yard cleanup. I can not find one bad thing to say. They definitely were perfectionists. Some of the work that was done that I deemed acceptable because of the age of the patio were redone the next day due to the fact that the person who did it, did not like how it turned out and redid the repair on their own volition. I would recommend them for any job that they provide. As a matter of fact I have already done so to my neighbors. Thank you Brent, you have a great Company.

I entered into a weekly mowing contract with Environmental Concepts for the 2015 season and will most definitely renew next spring. During some dry weeks in August they gave me the option to skip a mow and not be charged. In the past, other companies either mowed when not needed or still charged me. Skyler and his crew are very meticulous with clean up and edging. They also create a very professional mow pattern which they alternate regularly. Along with regular mowing they have also done a stellar job with landscape bed and shrub maintenance. I plan to use them for fall pond clean up as well. My property has never looked better. Would highly recommend their services.

Our yard was overgrown so much that it was overwhelming to do the work ourselves. Brent came out to look at exactly what we wanted completed. He gave us an estimate and broke down by cost. His crew did a wonderful job and it was well worth the money.
Description of Work: They did a complete yard cleanup, weeds along fence and pool area, trimmed bushes, shrubs and trees. Trimmed and cut down trees. Cleanned up all of the yard waste. Created a new mulch bed and cleaned up existing mulch beds, added new mulch. Cleanned up our driveway and took away old wood and branches. Looks like a completely different yard.

Brent and his team did a wonderful job on this project and I highly recommend his services. He responded promptly to my inquiry for an estimate and came out at the agreed upon time to discuss the project with me. He was able to quickly understand our vision for the space and offered great suggestions on the best way to achieve what we were looking for. He suggested the type of pavers that were the most economical but would still give us the look we wanted. The waterfall he and his team created is absolutely stunning and we have gotten great compliments on it. Brent's team worked very hard and were very professional and it is evident that they care about their work and customers. The finished product exceeded our expectations! Hire Environmental Concepts for your next project. You will be happy that you did!

I would use this company again in the future. I think very highly of the employees and the overall quality of the work that they have performed for me in the past. I just could not afford them this year.
Description of Work: We have used this company multiple times over the past several years and we have Always been extremely pleased with the services we received. I requested a quote on Spring clean up and mulching of all our extensive beds. I promptly received the quote but, unfortunately we could not work the quoted amount into our budget this year due to some other situations that arose.

I had called several landscapers prior to contacting Eric at Environmental Concepts. No one seemed to have any idea about what to do with the bank besides erecting a wall which we did not want to do because of cost and the location. It would have been in an area that was not visible to anyone and would not have added any asthetic value to the landscaping. Eric came to look at the bank and suggested the No Mow grass to prevent the bank from eroding and the low maintenance of the No Mow. Since the parking pad was not paved yet Eric told us to call when we knew the scheduled date for the paving so he could do the work after. Once we got the date for the paving in the spring Eric was already very busy and very politely worked us into his busy schedule. We were not located in his immediate area so it was especially nice of him. The work was done very professionally and Eric gave me literature about the No Mow as to watering, mowing etc. I followed the instructions and the seed grew nicely into a beautiful patch of No Mow grass which we allowed to "fall over".I didn't write the review right away because I wanted to see how the No Mow would be once established after a year. I am very satisfied with it and it was the right solution to our problem thanks to Eric.
Description of Work: Hand graded a bank by a new parking pad along our 14x24 ft shed, sowed No Mow grass seed and installed an erosion control straw blanket.

Brent and his crew showed up on time each day, and cleaned up immaculately every afternoon before they left. They were gentleman the entire time, asked questions to ensure that they were doing things the way I wanted them to be done. Despite their presence, my husband was able to see clients all three days that they worked; I told them his schedule, and they arranged their activities to ensure the least amount of disturbance. Wow! The design is perfect (we've already gotten several compliments from neighbors and my husband's clients!), and the execution was very professional. I asked the crew to leave some business cards because two of my neighbors have already asked for them! We couldn't be more pleased, and would definitely hire Environmental Concepts Landscaping again.
Description of Work: We had an old brick courtyard that was unable to be paved over with a concrete patio due to its location, couldn't be ripped up and replaced due to reports from other neighbors who had done this who had subsequently experienced basement leaks, and needed an organic and peaceful feel, due to its proximity to the entrance to my husband's home office and our home's front door. Brent worked with me on my idea of using 2'x2' and 2'x3' flagstone pavers cemented to the old bricks to provide a walkway from our driveway to both of the doors, with river rock filling in between the pavers and covering the other parts of the patio and old concrete walkway from the driveway to the courtyard. I had the idea, and Brent had the design, and what a design it was! He worked with the crew on the first day, then the crew returned and finished the next two days. They used PA field stone to build up short "walls" (about 8 - 10") on the sides of the path form the driveway to the courtyard to contain the soil of my existing garden beds, and then continued it up a slope to stabilize the slope and ensure drainage away from the pathway.

The contractor was knowlegeable and informative. He offered various options to replace the walk. He did not recommend or give us an estimate to do just space a minimal repair or combination repair/replacement, which would have been our preference.

This experience was one of best that I have ever had!! I explained what I wanted as far as the sidewalk and landscaping goes and was provided a quote that included all requests. I was advised when the work would be done and received a call of when they would arrive. The workers showed up on time and worked very hard through the week, plus it was 90 plus degrees outside. I must say that they were like a well oiled machine and worked until the job was done to my satisfaction. Great job by a well organized company that listened and pleased!!!
