Description of Work: I live abroad and had a situation where I needed helped assessing my yard from a far. Ward was extremely professional and both emailed me and called me and my family about my yard situation. He assessed the yard and made the efforts to apprise me of his assessment even after he knew that I needed different services than the services he could provide. I am very impressed and grateful.

Ward called and came down to give an estimate on my project same day we spoke. We walked over the project and listened to what was needed. We parted ways after deciding priorities for which aspect need immediate attention. Ward walked over the property to estimate the project and after he immediately called me. He informed me my project was outside of his scope and recommended a different approach with a larger company. I was impressed with his ability to know what he can handle and his advice while walking the property was immensely helpful. I would would work with Ward again.

He was punctual, friendly and he delivered more than we asked for. He spent time pruning, and replanting plants that we didn't even ask to have anything done with. The replanting he did was because the plants that he noticed, that we had planted, were planted to deep in the ground and would not have done well as the soil deep down is clay and does not drain well. He seemed tireless and worked until the job was done. He cleaned up all mess and debris. He took some small specimens of plants that we needed replaced and came back with beautiful, healthy, large plants that were exactly right. My husband and I would recommend him very highly and will definitely have him come back in the future.
Description of Work: Removed dead grass and replaced it with sod. He planted some (5) new bushes and put mulch in the front gardens.

Ward O'Brien is a godsend! He skillfully resolved a grading issue in our flower beds that had been slowly, over the years, causing damage to our home. He listened carefully to our problem, gave us a simple but effective solution and executed it quickly. He arrived on time, stayed on budget and gave us some really great and practical advise. I will most definitely have Ward working in my yard again. I look forward to hearing some of his great ideas for beautifying our back yard!!

Ward is a consummate professional. It's obvious from his portfolio and his work here, that he takes his profession seriously. Every rock was planned out in its placement as well as the attendant water runoff work that he did behind the wall. I can't recommend him highly enough. Personable, punctual, professional ... he knows what he is doing and it shows. The people at Woodward Landscaping Supplies, where I purchased the supplies, remarked to me that they wished more 'professionals could be like Ward'. And it's true.
Description of Work: Ward built a beautiful retaining wall for me out of Pocono stone. Approximately 16 feet long and 1 1/2 feet wide. He also dug a trench where he installed perforated pipe so water behind the wall could run off. Both of these things I consider to be arduous tasks. And in 95 degree weather to boot.

Ward came and showed us pictures of work he has done, looked at what was here, listened to what we thought we might like and then laid out proposed path using hoses to show us what it would look like and adjusted it until we had what we thought we wanted. He then had us go to the hardscape supplier to pick out what we wanted for pavers, stairs and the wall. He then let us know when he would start the work, once he lined up the excavator, and did the job. He explained the process as he did the job letting us know what to expect as he proceeded. He came when he said he would be here and weather permitting and completed the job in a timely manner. We are very pleased with the work Ward has done. We felt the price was fair and worth every penny.
Description of Work: Created a walkway from our front door to driveway, with 4 steps down to the level of the driveway, widened the entryway from the breezeway to the driveway and connecting to the stairs using pavers and built a wall on each side of the stairs to hold the bank in place. Also installed pipe under the walkway from house so lighting can be installed later.
