"Dean did extensive landscaping for my elderly father a couple summers ago.  He put in a manufacturered stone raised patio, along with shrub borders along the north side of the house and the east and north fencelines. The stone patio was beautifully done and the shrub plantings were nice. Good, large, healthy plants.  Deans removed all Dad's topsoil (which was sandy) and replaced it with what was suppossed to be black dirt, but turned out to be mostly clay.  Dean even apologized for it being crappy soil and said that he didn't know how bad it was when he purchased it. Two complaints here-A.  He should have checked out the soil he purchased (and tested it) before he purchased it or used it.  B.  When he saw it was crappy, he should have removed it and replaced it.  Probably the biggest issue with the plantings was that he put in substitute plants (based on his initial drawing) which were not what my Dad wanted.  Before he even called Dean, my Dad was going on and on about how he wanted blue flowered hydrangeas.  When Dean submitted the plans/quotation to my Dad, the hydrangeas shown were a blue variety (maybe Niko Blue).  When the plants were put in, however,all the hydrangeas installed by Deans were a white mophead variety, which will not change color based on the soil's pH.  While they are beautiful, to this day my Dad is adding supplements to the soil, trying to get them to turn blue. Dean also did some simple landscaping/ shrub installation  across the front of the house, again removing the existing top soil and replacing it with the clay soil. Half the front border gets mostly sun, with the remaining half getting shade from a large sugar maple tree. Dean planted the same viburnium variety on both sides of the porch.  When the one planted in the shade died after a few months, he replaced it with the same variety, which also died, despite my Dad being extremely conscientious about its care. My Dad did not contact Dean about another replacement.  Earlier this year, for a reason only known to him, my Dad called Dean to get a quotation to redo the front landscaping that Dean had done previously.  When he got the quotation, it included a sevaral hundred dollar charge for removal of the existing soil (which was what they installed previously).  Included in the plan was a small ornamental tree with berries that are loved by birds, that was to be planted right near the front door (where the birds could eat the berries, then do what birds do, all over the front porch and stoop.) Final quotation to redo this work was several thousand dollars, which both my brother and I felt was waaaaay out of line.  My elderly Dad does not like to make waves,and knows very little about plant varieties, etc., so some of this may have to do with him not speaking up when the plants were not what was promised.  Before Dad could sign a contract with Dean, my brother stepped in-went and got shrubs and replacement soil and installed them at a cost of a $200, rather than paying Dean 10 times that. The patio Deans installed is beautiful-they did a really nice job.  My Dad said that the workers who installed it worked their butts off, never really took breaks, came early, stayed late and were really conscientious about doing things right.  So on patio installation, would probably give Deans an "A".  On the plant design, I would give Deans only a "C" because I'm not sure he knows his plants as well as he should.  I've been to store/nursery several times; all the plants I saw were healthy and well cared for-they have a huge variety. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase plants from Deans to install in a plan where someone else had checked out the plants design first."

"We met with another landscaper who had a great plan, but didnt do what WE wanted. We went to Hubinger and sat down with Eric and told him what we wanted done. He later came out and we walk him around and showed him what plants we wanted replace and what we wanted to keep.  We discussed together what plants to put in the front and I let Eric decide on the plants to put in the small area on the side of the driveway. <br /> It took a while for them to schedule a date to start since we had a wet spring. The first day they they removed some plants and prepared the area for the paver edgers and planted the front plants.. The second day they worked on the low  retaining wall and the rest of the edgers and put down mulch. The third day they planted the tree, the area to the side of driveway and pavers on the east side of the house. When building the low retaining wall, they seemed to go real slow, but they were being very precise in making sure the blocks were level and just so. As they were planting in the front, I told Eric that it looked like the area  needed one more plant. He had no problem with the change and didn't even charge me. <br /> I am very pleased with the with way everything turned out. Eric listened to what me and my husband wanted and did not go overboard. He was not there thru all the work but made sure the men knew what they had to do. He also asked if we like what was done the previous day. <br /> I would definately use Hubinger again if I need any work done. <br /> <br /> <br />"

"We have used this lawn service for several years now and are very pleased with the services provided. The men are very diligent and on-task the entire time they're here. They cleaned the roof and gutters of leaves, cleaned up all the mess, and we will definitely continuing using this service in the future. Highly recommend them."

"The first year, my grass was nice, thick and green. I liked the way it looked. I'm a little disappointed this year because they said they put weed control and the next thing I know, crab grass started appearing yet there were no weeds before. They sent someone back out but the weeds are still there. I found out that they charged me for the return visit. I think their price is a little too high for the work they do. Every time they're coming, they call and always show up."
