As this TOTV has gotten somewhat agressive against landscapers mostly by outta state wannabe's and confrotational computer keyboard terrorists I am somewhat hesitant to post this.
I went with Mansfield for these reasons.
I felt this company would stand behind the work performed after job completion. His employees are on a official payroll. He is insured
He pointed out to me several other contractors as doing quality work did not bad mouth them.
Their Palm Trees are hardened for 10-12 weeks before transplant and the rootballs are large enough to not need supports
You can go to his nursery for advise and to pick out your plants. Or he brings about 70 with them to the site and you pick em out.
You are not over sold or forced into more than you can afford. Worked with my budget and gave me some extras.
I am 100% happy with the crew and installation process for the front and sides. Done in one day and cleaned up. No yard waste dumped into empty lots .
I am 50% happy with the small patio. It was my call as I tried the look of a small natural field stone patio experiment. It looks great but may have to have some more work betweed the stones .Will have to see if it holds up. But Steve assured me if it did not he would rip it out or repair it. How can you be upset with that service.
I will warn you if your are offended by a strong proud of his work independant personal image you may be somewhat indimidated. As I have been in the service industry for 34 years I appreciated his pride and devotion to community and his business.
His business promotional agent came and took some before and after pictures. I have not seem them yet. Maybe if they read this they can post them for you to look at.
We wanted a simple real stone natural look. I did not want walls everywhere. I used a combination of covert green heavy duty edging and real field stone. I live next to a cow pasture and it reminded me of my home in Camillus NY and the farmers limestone walls.
I hope you give him a chance to compete for you business.
