This must be wrong. I have no records of a received or sent email. Nor text or voicemail. If you feel you contacted us, please email or call me personally, but do not post an F over something that is in error. Jodi. I.

Description of Work: This provider did absolutely nothing. I sent an email requesting an appointment, specifically for xeriscaping; it took a couple weeks for 'Jodi' to get back with me (via email) giving me two days and times to choose from. I immediately responded but never got a confirmation email. The day before the date I chose, I sent a confirming email but never got a response. The day I chose came and went with a no-call-no-show. Guess business is just overwhelming in Austin right now....

Response from Morningstar Landscaping & Construction Inc.
Wrong, wrong, wrong... It took a couple of weeks??? Here's the emails- I responded within our 5 day window, and never ever got a confirmation on which day she wanted. Although we are not even taking landscape clients until late June or July, she lives near a job site we were on and I was going to meet during my lunch. This posting should not be allowed as it is a blatant lie. " April 25, 4:28 AM" Hi (Memeber Name Removed)- thk u for contacting us. Would b happy to meet soon. I'm booked about 2 weeks but we r working South near you so I could break off during lunch. Could u meet next week around 11:00? Tues or thurs?

I would like to xeriscape my front yard but I think it would be easier if you either called (member number) or preferably emailed me as I'm having major phone issues (member...gmail.com) to schedule a time to come out. Thank you

Thank you member, thank you for the report. I am sorry we could not be of assistance but we do carry a $2,000.00 minimum which would be more then you need to spend. Best on your project, and if we can answer any other questions or be of help, just let us know. Thank you for considering us. J.

Description of Work: Never received a return call, so they never had the opportunity to win my business. I understand the desire to remain small but close yourself to new business if you're not going to return calls to prospective customers. Judging from other reviews, I'm not the only customer with this experience.

Interesting review considering I called you yesterday around 5:30 and left a voicemail. You should check it before writing a false report. I really do no appreciate reports that are allowed to be posted based on a voicemail when there has been NO communication involved. This is where Angies List does not help people We hv about 100 reviews so obviously calls are getting returned. Check your voicemail.

Description of Work: I contacted Jodi in mid March and told her that I got her name from the Angie's List. I need some help in establishing some landscape in my front and back yard. Since her schedule was so full that we had to wait for three weeks to have the first appointment in early April. I decided to wait since I read the good recommendation about her from the Angie's List. On the appointment day, about one hour before the appointment time, Jodi called and said she could not make it because she had to go to a job site unexpectedly and asked to reschedule to the next day.or two. So we rescheduled for another day in that week. I had to take time off from work to meet her that day. But she did not show up. I called her and left a message. She called me back about an hour later. She told me that she was on the way to the emergency room to take care of an injury accident of her workers and would call me back by the end of the day. She did not call by the end of that day. I called her back and left several messages in the next two or three days. The last message I left was to ask her to give me a call even if she was not interested in the job but just let me know. Jodi never called me back. Now I am thinking back and glad that I did not do business with her since she is so irresponsible and does not even bother to return a call to her customer after many messages. My experience seems inconsistent with other good comments about her on the Angie's List. I just hope everything is okay with her and she may have a good explanation of what happened.

I'm sorry members, I have idea or record who this is. Please don't file false reports. I had an auto response on my email due to a broken foot, so maybe she emailed me and received that. Or confused our co? This is not consistent with our reviews nor my communication process. J.

Response from Morningstar Landscaping & Construction Inc.
Well I have an auto response on email as well as voicemail stating I have a broken foot. I did in fact call from a current jobsite and told her I could not physically get to her until May. Sorry if that did not work in your time frame, but please do not take the time to lie about the situation. I am in a foot boot / cast and am being driven as my truck is fairly high. I will be contacting Angies List due to the outrageous lies in this report. My foot is broke- understand that please. It is not in my work practice to not return calls or emails and again- I contacted her twice, hv an auto- response, explained my foot, and was apologetic. J.

Response from Morningstar Landscaping & Construction Inc.
Wow, what can I say. I'll start from a business aspect first- we entered into a sea of Asian Jasmine. lol. It was soo thick and honestly can be dangerous, via critters, insects, mice, and especially snakes...really it's a great home for any creatures, so I really wanted to work with this couple as their house is amazingggggg inside and out, and I wanted the back to match. I also was disturbed at a courtyard patio done by someone else, that had no correct foundation and retaining wall stone was used instead of patio stone, and sand as the base? So a huge crack emerged and I really wanted to get that outtah there and redo it right. It was a hard take out of the jasmine, but we had to do it...for one, these clients were extremely considerate and educated, and apparantly had a problem w/a previous contractor, which always bothers me. We worked very hard and I am a clean freak on the jobsite, so we cleaned as we went, took alot of pix, installed 3 patios and plants, etc. and presto- beautiful! We were so very happy, and I am beyond flattered that you would write such a review. I am kinda speachless. I lost my grandma recently, and if she could have seen this report, she would be so so proud. Thank you for taking time to write this, thank you for the work, thank you for your faith, and thank you for your sincerity---through my current loss in the family, this brought a huge smile to my face, tugged at my heartstrings, and somewhere made my grandma smile too and say- I taught her right! Thank you Angie's List too for all the help, and happy New Year to all. Jodi

Not at all
Description of Work: I still need some landscaping services for my frontyard and both backyards. I recently had the foundation, drainage and plumbing leaks fixed at my duplex and was left with a landscaping to do. I am very disappointed in the kind of service I received from Jodi from Morningside. This was the second company I called for an estimate and never heard back from. Personal things can happen, but at least give your clients the curtesy to let them know that you don't want to take over the project. Communication is one thing I thought is very necessary when running a business. I hope others don't have to have this kind of experience with this company, it's annoying.

Being in the hospital does not put me in a good situation to do work, especially when I did not even give an estimate. Work was being performed by another company, not us and she was upset with them. I met, again on my day off. Told her the work done needed to be redone for proper drainage but we could not help at that point because she was under contract with another company. I called her after sge contacted ms at 9 at night and told her I was in the hospital and could not provide this service nor wait on the other company to redo , finish, whatever they were contracted to do. I'm sorry she was dissatisfied with them , but please do not take it out on us when we did not even provide an estimate but only tried to help. And I appreciated the understanding of my emergency surgery. Hope it works out for you and that co takes care of what you contracted them to do. J.
