Get matched with top sod installers in Marengo, OH

"I had previously had a paver patio, walkways, pillars and retaining walls installed by Correy and his team and was very satisfied.
Initially I planned to use Correy for only the tile work for the floors on my remodel project because it was similar to paver installation. 
Upon sourcing the work to be done he also provided me with all of the services needed for the project with the exception of the quartz countertops and installation. The project was scheduled and completed on scheduled which allowed for a shorter down time. We are very satisfied with the outcome and enjoy the use of our new kitchen every day."

"These guys were great! They cleared out a lot of dead branches, even one that was hanging dangerously over my house. And the hedges they trimmed look very nice. Will definitely hire again."

"The pathway lights look terrific and function very easily with an automatic timer. Jeff and his team were very efficient installing the lights. They are currently working on installing a new patio and they are working diligently to ensure the prep for the patio is done correctly. We are very pleased with their professionalism and eye for detail. They are a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to call Jeff for any of our landscape needs."

"Skip was on time and kept me in the loop for every step of the process. ?Calls were returned in a timely manner and everything went great. ?On the morning of the install they started right around 9:00am and were done by 11:30. ?FAST work that didn't skimp on quality. ?We are very happy with the new fence and the privacy it offers. ?Definitely recommend! ?"

"It went very well and I would hire him again."

"We are really pleased with our beautiful new stamped concrete walkways. Stephen Arthur and his crew did a great job putting in new walkways to our front porch and back porch. We were impressed with the high quality job they did on all the steps from tearout of the old brick walkways, putting in the forms, stamping, and final sealant application. We had good communications with Stephen throughout the process."

"I had originally talked with Ron Diersing about an estimate for a driveway replacement in the fall of 2010.  He quoted a price that I thought was fair and set a date for the work to be done.  For a number of reasons, I decided to postpone the project until spring 2011, but still wanted to use Stamp and Concrete Masters to do the job.  I originally was only going to have the driveway replaced, but I added the project of having a wheelchair ramp removed, concrete poured where the ramp had been to make a small patio, and steps installed to run from the deck to the new patio area.  Ron was very understanding about everything, gave me a very fair estimate for the additional work, and we set the date to begin work on 4/19/11.  Because rain was expected on 4/19 and on 4/20, Ron called early on 4/19 and indicated that he thought he and his crew should delay the removal of my old driveway and ramp, plus concrete framing and other preparatory work to 4/20, and pour the new concrete driveway on 4/21 (4/21/11 was the only non-rainy day the whole week!).   The driveway was completed by 1:30 PM on 4/21.  Ron returned that evening to do some additional work on the driveway.  On 4/22/11, Ron installed steps from the deck to the new patio area and ran new wiring as needed to get the pet electronic fence working.  Ron recommends sealing the driveway at least 30 days after installation, but prior to winter, which I will be asking him to do in the near future.  "

"All went well.. assembly was quick and the charge was customer friendly"

"Design: Micah Dean met with my wife and I for an hour and we discussed exactly what we wanted and the three of us collaboratively created a plan. Dean created a quote, itemizing all the things we had discussed, and handed it to us before he left. I told him that we didn't need a full design drawing as our project was relatively simple and he seemed to clearly understand exactly what was needed. We decided on general types and sizes of plants for purposes of getting a quote with the understanding that we'd pick the specific species of plants after we decided on a landscaping company. We met with representatives of two other companies (all three are highly rated smaller companies that specialize in residential landscape work with specific experience in installing large trees) and then decided to go with Dean. We chose Dean because of reputation, confidence in his understanding of our project and our priorities, his ability to articulate a plan to meet our needs, ability to complete the project in a timely manner, and lastly price. We made our decision the third week of March.
Via email, we discussed exactly which species of plants and trees were to be used for which locations and made final decisions.
Demolition (late April): Micah's crew ground the stumps. They removed the plants we wanted to save (placing them temporarily in a different bed) so they could completely remove an old Rose of Sharon that we wanted to get rid of, which involved removing lots of roots and shoots throughout the planting bed. They removed the old brick planting bed borders. This work was done thoroughly and efficiently.
Preparation (early May): Micah used a subcontractor to grind the roots from our old maple tree flush with the lawn (kind of like refinishing a warped wood floor). The edges of the planting beds needed to changed and redefined. Micah's did not seem to thoroughly explain the details of the project adequately to his crew. This is where not having a drawing started to become a problem. The edges were not where the three of us had decided upon, and his crew had to come back to fix them later. They put stakes in the ground where they intended to install each of the plants. We moved one of the stakes and let them know about it. They delivered the soil and properly graded the planting beds and lawn area.
Delivery (early May): Five Arborvitae, one Ninebark, one Maple tree, and one Redbud tree were delivered. The Ninebark and the Redbud were not the specific varieties that had been agreed upon. We decided we actually liked the delivered Ninebark better and kept it, and Micah exchanged the Redbud in one day without any friction at all. Accuracy: C; Responsiveness: A.
Planting (early May): They were about to put the Maple where the Redbud was supposed to go and the Redbud in the Maple's intended location, but luckily my wife caught this before they actually put the large (2 - 2.5 inch caliper) trees in the ground. Again, a drawing and better internal communication within the company would have prevented this. They installed one of the Arborvitae in the original location of the stake and not where we had relocated it. They installed another leaning at a noticable angle. They came back and moved and replanted the two Arbortvitae the next day. They spread the grass seed and straw and the mulch. They left the plants that were supposed to go back into the front bed in one of the side beds, missed several areas around the trees that needed to have been seeded, and one of the mulch rings was significantly off center around one of the trees. The spade edges around the planting beds were of uneven depth, which was both an aesthetic issue as well as a functional one (in terms of being able to evenly mow the lawn up to the edge of the beds). The Maple tree needed to be pruned to correct some early-growth bad habits that should have been obvious when they planted it. They corrected all the issues the day after I notified them. Accuracy: C; Responsiveness: A.
All in all, I am satisfied with the end result. The work was completed when I had been expecting. I would like to have had fewer issues along the way, but Micah had his crew addressed every issue I reported promptly and without any push-back. I have very high standards and am a tough grader, so don't take my giving Dean Landscaping mostly B's to be a negative. I would use them again, but I would insist on a detailed diagram showing all borders and edges and exactly which plants were to end up in which locations, and specifying details such as the depth of the borders to reduce the change for misunderstandings and mistakes.
