In a nutshell, very well. The only problem was that I did want and need they to start asap. On the day of the survey, I was told that they could start in 7-10 day, which was great as I had wanted to use the patio 1-2 times before cold weather set in (which I didn't get to do). I will say that it was not entirely their fault as the weather really got cold much earlier, and perhaps I should have asked to do it first.
I called as that time approached and no arrangements had been made. Something had come up and their vacation waylaid the work.
Once they got started, they worked quickly and all day. It was impressive. Then the plans went into effect for the patio. We chose the pavers, a basketweaving pattern, and the site. When the work started (about a week later), many changes took place. I was unable
due to illness to attend to the job. The site was changed due to a drainage problem, which I appreciated, but the basketweave was
forgotten (I would just suggest that it all be written down); and I really was looking forward to the and quot;level with the groundand quot; patio we had agreed to. That was disappointing as I know that I will need it level at sometime in the future. Also it will take more maintenance but the ground and quot;was too hard to digand quot;. I knew that the ground was hard, and would have been willing to have paid more to have it dug out by a
machine. But all and all, it was beautiful. I'm very pleased with the results of all their hard work, and would definitely use again.
They recently replaced 5 Knockabout rose bushes that had been planted in Feb and failed to germinate---their plants come with a one-year warranty. As soon as we indicated to them that the roses did not look as if they were growing, they came to inspect and immediately replaced them. The new rose bushes are growing and very hearty.
Some of our lawn was very boggy and oftentimes after rain, we would have standing water in the yard. Total Landscapes recommended a soil additive that is used on athletic fields to manage moisture and compaction. They applied one treatment and will apply another if need be. It has improved the yard lawn considerably.
Their maintenance of our irrigation system keeps our consumption of water low and incorporates the use of a wireless rain sensor. We appreciated the time and thought that Total Landscapes personnel put into modifying the irrigation cycle which we thought was excessive--they really simplified things. They also handled our irrigation system reporting to James City County.
We are very delighted with their ideas, quality, workmanship, professionalism and pricing.
