I got 3 estimates, the 1st other one was $3K higher, the 2nd one was double.  There is another customer of Fun Yards in the area and they have used them on about 3 properties altogether.

I just love Bill and his team.  He helped me on where to start with a super big project and a small budget.  The workers came and did a relentless job of digging out and root blocking bamboo in my backyard..  People comment on how beautiful and controlled it looks now.

The woman who provided the consultation was professional and did a nice job in coming up with a nice plan.  However, the estimate given by the contractor who was bidding to do the actual work was much too high.

First, let me say that i am not exactly sure of the date since this is several months later.
The person was approachable, and kind but this ended up being a sales call that we paid $50 for.  The "plan" that was drawn was a 2 minute sketch with some common plants put in.  We had drainage issues to talk about and the person recommended we talk to her partner but we had no desire to spend more time with another sales call.
Offers should be spelled out more definitely and scale described.

We did have her come out. Basically though, it was just $50.00 for an appointment. She showed me her portfolio book and told me about all the great ideas that she had, but never produced a drawing for me. All she did was quote me what it would cost to actually have her go back and draft the plans, which was a fee of $2800.00 if I recall. She is a landscape architect and it would be after I get her plans that I could contract a landscaping company to come out and execute the work. I just feel that the deal was misleading which is why I would give her a “C.” Her portfolio was nice, but I was at least expected a sketch or some sort with suggestions of plant types, etc. since I am new to the area.

Everything has been going well.  The plans are very detailed, the costs were clearly explained, and everyone was friendly and professional.  I actually plan on having them implement the designs in the future.

Well.

very knowledgeable
professional
can not remember all that she told us..

It went well.

nice personable woman. we kept it local.

We will keep in close contact about how to proceed in the near future.  The advice they gave to me I am sure will be very helpful.

They then notified me that they don't offer that service anymore, and so I haven't gone back to them. Their quality is good, but they are a little expensive. I wasn't really thrilled with their plant choices, I don't think they invested enough energy into planning my landscaping.

My husband and I are very happy with our Fun Yard.  Large dogs play vigorously on it (and their excrement is easy to pick up and hose off if necessary). Over the last few years we have had many compliments and I have given several people the name and phone number of Fun Yards/Dream Turf.

Fun Yards had been doing my husband's yard maintenance for many years. I moved into the house in July 2012. I have dogs and requested that I be told by email or phone call exactly when the yard guys would be coming so I could get my dogs in the house and there would be no chance for them to get out of the yard. I requested this time after time which Fun Yards failed to do over and over again. They would often show up without telling me they were coming They also left gates open after they were finished with the yard numerous times. I fired them. The yard work was so so and parts would be missed. The fence was done well but when I asked them to come back and deal with the sagging in the large gate they never returned my calls. They were slow to answer calls and many times never answered email or phone calls.

Overall they did a really great job and we are still enjoying the yard. They are fairly high priced, but also high quality. No complaints.

The work was great. We thought their bid was good compared from some other companies. We found them to be very professional. The crew showed upon time and worked hard was pleasant and nice to work with. They were careful in their work and did not disturb any of the plants around the area. I would use them again if needed. The work they did was very nice.

They were okay. They were able to get the job done on time and within the bid they gave. I probably won’t use them in the future because the work did not last. I have stone pavers that were installed 20 years ago and are still in good shape.
