"Not all the employees treat the entire lawn..."

"The estimate and interaction prior to the work was courteous, professional and accurate. However, we never received an email or call about when the work was to occur. When the crew did come to remove the trees it was a fill-in job for them and no one was home as the job began. The work they did on the two trees and clean up afterward was excellent. In the process of removing one of the trees they removed several limbs from an adjacent dogwood tree. Because no one was there to talk with them we couldn't have indicated that this was not what we wanted. Their follow up was good, but I can't rate them an "A" given the lack of warning on when the work was to occur and the removal of other tree limbs."

"Lawn greatly improved. Tree and shrub care only provided moderate results"

"Phase 1 rep first worked up yard plan in fall 2008, but construction on new addition and funds tight. We liked them enough to ask them to return in fall 2009. Rep amenable to dividing the job into phases. Designer and rep came up with interesting, unique approaches. Rep on site frequently and worked with project manager to adapt ideas to realities of installation. Very happy with final product. Phase 2 brought new rep, Shannon Reed, who worked with original plan and adapted it freely to fit our budget. We also had a deadline--a graduation party on June 11. Shannon emailed daily and kept up great communication. He had great ideas and worked with designer on a great combination of hardscape and plantings. When first budget presented overshot our budget, he adjusted freely, without compromising integrity of design. He is a friendly, eager to please person, and we enjoyed working with him. Installation team was professional and detailed, always leaving job in clean condition, even when not finished. Our project is small in comparision to lots of the work they do, but we were treated as if our city yard was a country mansion--very much appreciated."

"The provider does regular lawn care on my front lawn and small part on the back.    There is a larger portion beyond my driveway (approx. an acre and a third) that does not get regular care.    I requested that provider trim that portion back at least to a manageable height, but they went way beyond and cleared it all out."

"I sent an e-mail on Aug 18 and quickly received a response. An initial meeting was scheduled for Aug 19 at Noon. Mike O'Malley arrived on-time. We reviewed our situation and discussed possible improvements. Mike agreed to provide a proposal within a week. <br /> <br /> A meeting to go over the proposal was scheduled for Aug 25. We thought it was a good first effort but were skeptical that Lerch Brothers had addressed all of our problems. Mike suggested an additional meeting to include Tom Lerch. That was held on Sep 7, while we were being inundated with Tropical Storm Lee's heavy rain. The meeting proved to be very timely since Mike and Tom could clearly see the water problems at their worst. Using that information, a revised proposal was developed. <br /> <br /> We were on vacation from Sep 8-17 so Mike presented the new proposal on Sep 21. Overall, this proposal was a big improvement. It addressed all of our issues and presented various options regarding what types of stone / paver paths to add, what trees to remove, and how many fence posts to fix. Of the three landscapers from whom we received proposals, Lerch Brothers was the only one who asked us to consider asking our neighbors to allow us to remove some of their large pines which were blocking sunlight to our yard. We have a good relationship with those neighbors and the pines were already in danger of falling at some point. Letting us pay for the removal proved to be a win-win situation. Overall, Lerch Brothers provided the best proposal for our situation at the most reasonable cost so we contracted with them. <br /> <br /> Work began the week of Oct 10 and was completed over a 2 week period. (There were some weather delays.) Tree removal was first: 3 pines from our neighbor's yard, 3 more from our yard, as well as 1 Bradford Pear, 1 Blue Spruce, 1 Lilac, and 1 Hemlock from our property. Major overhang from other pines were pruned back. The tree work went well with one exception: the Bradford Pear trunk was felled toward our (new) deck, damaging a banding board on the side of the deck. Lerch Brothers apologized and immediately agreed to replace the board, which they did. Other than this minor glitch, their work was very impressive. The back yard was almost completely regraded, a beautiful paver path was installed from our garage to our deck, a swale was installed for water control, stepper stones were installed on the other side of the deck to a fence entrance, a subcontractor replaced 6 loose fence posts, and a variety of shrubs, perennials, and ground covers were installed in the remaining shady areas. Most of the yard now receives enough sunlight to grow grass and was seeded accordingly. A Japanese Maple was installed to replace the Hemlock. We were just as impressed with how well our property was respected. Due to the use of heavey machinery at times, some lawn areas were damaged. These were reseeded. The crew also thoroughly cleaned up after each day's work. <br /> <br /> We have not had a repeat of T.S. Lee but we have had enough rain to see the water control is working pretty well. Mike O'Malley cautioned us that, due to the late season seeding (weather getting cooler), another seeding may be required in Spring 2012. He originally suggested using sod but we decided the additional cost was not worthwhile compared to the cost of reseeding, especially considering we only use our deck and the yard from roughly May through September. As of mid-November over 1/2 of the grass seed had germinated. We will have the lawn seeded next spring. Given the good results so far, we expect to have a beautiful yard by late spring or early summer. <br /> <br /> We are very happy with the results and will probably use Lerch Brothers for ongoing landscape maintenance."
