"We interviewed 4 landscapers before settling on Paul Schwarz Nursery. I gave them a B for price because their pricing was right in the middle. Good price, but of course we all want to pay less. They have an A+ for everything else! And I guess they are worth every penny. Mike created a plan for working with our existing landscape to replace our crumbling retaining wall. He coordinated with the county for permits, which ended up being a laborious adventure, as our previous existing deck would not meet the current setback requirements. Mike was extremely creative and came up with an entirely new plan for us and in the end I am so happy that we ran into problems because what we have now is so much better than before. Their company has done a lot of lakeside work and knows more about the codes and requirements than the county probably does. <br /> Mike went out of his way to incorporate small details that will allow us to have flexibility and make changes down the road. For example: the patio that they installed abuts a screened in porch. This current porch is on the rickety side and Mike anticipated that one day we might want to make changes to it. He planned ahead for this by setting the raw edge of the patio stones up against the porch wall so that if we ever make changes to the porch or want to run the stone all the way to the house foundation, we can continue the stone pattern right through. This is not something that I would have thought of. <br /> Originally we had planned for the work to start in the later part of the summer last year, but because of unplanned setbacks by the county, we decided to delay our project until spring. Mike had taken photos of our garden last year and was able to use the photos to find all the perennials and dig them out to save them--they were still dormant when they started work this spring. Mike's appreciation and knowledge of plant/trees was one of the reasons I felt comfortable working with their company. <br /> The crew surprised us with thoughtful details like adding an electrical outlet and lights. The design of our new yard is completely transforming. We are able to use and enjoy every inch our our yard and I am amazed how I find myself pulled into the landscape like never before. I thank Mike for his creativity and attention to small details. <br /> <br /> <br />"

"The arborist, Joe, came out fairly quickly after I contacted them for a quote. At the time I was thinking of having the branches over my roof removed, but was concerned how that would affect the aesthetics and symmetry of the tree. Joe suggested the cable supports which I readily agreed to - a nice solution. In looking at the apple tree, which has been diseased for a few years, losing branches each year, Joe informed me that its disease, fire blight, is incurable and the best course of action would be to have it removed. This confirmed my initial thoughts on the matter. A quote arrived a few days later. I also received quotes from other tree services, and felt this was the most cost effective quote. However, I had some questions and wanted to propose a modification to part of his proposal. It took me having to contact the business 2 or 3 times before I received a callback from Joe. Once we settled on how I should mark up the proposal, I faxed it in with the advanced payment and my signature accepting the proposal as marked up. After waiting several days for a call back to schedule an appointment I decided to call to get the job scheduled. A day later Joe called and we scheduled the job. The crew was scheduled to arrive at 2:00 pm on November 12, but did not show up until around 2:45 pm. (Remember we are now on standard time and it gets dark early.) They got to work on the apple tree first and took it down in a professional manner. They were accommodating in leaving branches of a certain diameter range behind that I could use for firewood. (I did not request that it be cut into firewood size pieces, as that would have been expensive. Nonetheless they did cut some of the long branches down to smaller sizes and hauled it to the back of my lot as requested.) The equipment for the ash tree cabling work arrived around 4:15 - 4:30, as the sun was setting. They worked on the tree well into the darkness, finishing up around 5:40. This seemed rather dangerous to me, but they did finish the job. They also trimmed off a few dead branches from the ash tree. The next day I looked at the cables and was a bit surprised at their location (attached to branches connected with branches overhanging the roof, rather than attached to the ones overhanging the roof themselves). I called the business to inquire about that, and was advised that Joe would take a look at the cabling work sometime next week. Surprisingly he showed up later in the morning with another tree expert. They looked at the work done and explained why the cabling locations selected were, in fact, the best. So in this case Joe was quite responsive and assuring. (Yes, the branches remained intact during the huge storm of November 17.) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I was told that the stump grinder would be there around 10:00 am the next morning, 11/13, but they didn't show up. Around 11:00 am I contacted the business, which consulted with Joe, who indicated that they are scheduled for Friday, 11/15, at 1:00 pm. (Not sure why I was told they would be there the next morning!) I had a lunch appointment at that time, but I figured that they could probably start and I would still get back before they were finished. (Because some JULIE cables were running right by the stump, I wanted to be sure there were no problems before the crew leaves.) So I had to cut the lunch appointment short to get back, but no one was there. An hour later I called the business. They checked with Joe who said that the stump grinding crew was having some problems, but would be there later - around 3 pm. No one showed up at 3:00, and I went on an errand around 4:00 and didn't get back until around 4:30, when I found a voicemail saying that the stump grinder was broken and they'd have to reschedule the appointment - probably for later this week (week of Nov 18). As of 11/19 I haven't received any updates on the stump grinding schedule. <br />"

"After my last experience with a lawn service I was very apprehensive about hiring another service provider. I am very glad I called Armadillo Lawn Maintenance. They were professional, punctual and provided exceptional service. I will definitely be using them for all of my lawn care needs in the future. <br />"
