Glad that Kwik Kerb did such a good job for you!

Based on positive comments from this forum, I contacted them a couple of weeks ago to come over to take a look at my back yard. I want to install some large bushes and a couple of Lygustrum trees to give my typical Villages back yard some privacy. The woman who came over took a look at the yard, had a very brief conversation with me and said that she would call me with a price either later that day or the next day at the latest. Almost a week later, I called to find out if she had a price for me. I had to leave a message, in which I explained exactly when she was there and that I was still awaiting a price (as well as leaving my number again, just in case she had misplaced it). It's more than 2 weeks later and they still haven't bothered to call me back. I guess that they are much too busy to take on additional work!

But that's okay, because it gave me the chance to talk to both Dani at TerraScape and Sabrina McGowan. Interactions with both of these people were much more impressive than the bum's rush I experienced with the person from Kwik Kerb. I ultimately went with McGowan because a) she has done many yards in my neighborhood and not only do I like the result, but everyone gives her a big thumbs up and b) she offered bigger plantings at a cheaper price.

I guess, as with most experiences with landscapers here in The Villages, it's just luck of the draw. The company that give great service one day, can just as easliy fall flat on their face another day. Hopefully, once the work is completed (3 more weeks before she could slot my job) I'll be satisfied with the outcome and can recommend McGowan's services to others!
