I had a company come out to install landscape stone and mulch as well as trimmiing and clean up. The stone installation was okay, they could have used more stone. The clean up and shrub trimming was less than bad. I think their forte is stone and curbing. I didn't have any curbing installed because I was less satisfied with the overall job. The owner promised to fix the problem but never came out when promised. I tried calling a few times but no return call.

I did want curbing so I took a chance and called a local person. He came out and not only installed the curbing but fixed the stone places that needed fixing. He cleaned up; came back to seal the curbing as promised.

He's a nice young man who works with his father in law.

I so highly recommend him. He'll do any job regardless of how small. His name is John of Concrete Curbing. Number is 615-1314. His pricing was fair and very reasonable. He also installs stone and mulch.

Why did you pay for the original stone and trim work if you were not satisfied...rather than wiating for the contractor to return??

Glad to see you found someone to resolve your problem.

The company was reputable doing work for many neighbors. It wasn't a terrible job but not up to my standards. I have more than a tremendous amount of landscaping. To the eye, it looks fine, upon very close inspection, I found shrubs that could have been trimmed better and weeds that were not pulled, just covered with mulch (I also had mulch put down).

My husband felt it was okay and any tweaking he could do.

When I spoke to Kim (her husband owns the franchise), I nicely told her that "gee, I was a bit disapointed in the trimming". She told me that she would come back and wanted me to be happy. After a week, i called to remind her (she was also going to do some light landscaping for a neighbor),

She never returned my call or showed up to trim my neighbor's palm trees.

It wasn't a scam and I never pay for work up front but the circumstances were a bit different. She's not a crook, just not good about meaning what she says or saying what she means.
