"I was very impressed with George Wimmer, "My personal gardener."
My problem was that my sump was running often most seasons of the year, and dumping water into the side yard where it would run down a shallow valley in my lawn and over the public sidewalk. It has been a constant source of erosion, poor lawn, soft and muddy ground especially in the spring, and even ice covering my sidewalk in cold weather. I was not allowed by the city of Noblesville to connect my sump overflow to the storm sewer. I could not send the water off my property to be a problem for a neighbor either, of course.
I had done some research and developed an idea for a dry well to receive the water. I contacted several companies in Angies List that were landscapers or dealt with water drainage problems. After all was said and done, "My personal gardener" not only grasped the problem and the necessary solution, but gave me a very reasonable estimate for the solution.
George and his assistant dug a hole 4x4 feet square, and 5 feet deep. They cut the sod off first, and set it aside to be replaced later. George used a mini-backhoe to do the real digging, and it dug the hole quickly even through hard blue clay.  An empty 55 gallon drum was placed in the hole--the plastic drum had many holes drilled through the sides and bottom. The purpose of the drum was to receive the water directly from the sump and then allow it to disperse into the larger area underground. The 4x4x5 foot hole was filled (around the drum) with round gravel. Some kind of landscaping cloth was also placed over the gravel, then a layer of topsoil, and then the sod was placed back on top. The finished product was rolled and now the ground is the same level as it was before. 
Even if the water is slow dispersing into the subsoil, the dry well can receive about 250-300 gallons of water before it overflows, if it ever does. I anticipate that my yard erosion problem and sidewalk damage problems are now over. George and his assistant placed the dirt that was taken from the hole in various locations around the foundation of my house (at my request), where the ground had settled and too much foundation was exposed. He did not charge for this extra service.
It took a good half day of work for two men to do this job, and heavy equipment was used, and all materials including landscaping cloth, 2-3 yards of gravel, plastic drum, pipe fittings, etc., were all included in the job quote, which I thought was more than fair, in fact, a bargain.
According to Angies List, My Personal Gardener also offers plants for 25% off for members, so I am having George put in some plants for me in a larger landscaping project. I am trusting that it will go just as well. I have not been acquainted with this George and "My Personal Gardener" before this project, but I feel fortunate to have found him.

"Elegance Outdoor finished our entire project in just over one week. I am extremely hard to please, as my wife says,  but on this particular project Brandon with Elegance Outdoor met our expectation beyond our imagination. I can not explain the craftsmanship in his work. Every saw cut he made was precise. Brandon was very professional when speaking with us and when he got to an area that could have possibly been built two different ways he would build it both ways and then have us make our decision on which way we would like it. Would we hire Elegance Outdoor for another project? We absolutely would. Without hesitation. Brandon took the time he needed to make sure it was correct the first time. We love the seat wall Brandon built for us. Aspen and Makiah both, told us to tell you they were sorry for stealing your coffee cup and shredding it around the back yard. Lol Thank you so much Brandon and we look forward to using you again in the future.

"It was kind of weird. The owner of the company, I found out later on, was the person who first came out to take a look at the job. I was expecting one painter for 40 hours or two for 20 each or whatever, and he said well I'm just gonna bring out four guys and have them work a ten hour shift and do it all in one day. I said well as long as they can get everything done I have no problem with that. Well then when the day rolled around and they actually showed up, it was two guys - well actually it was a guy and a gal. First day, they worked - I was there all day with them - the first day they worked about a nine hour shift each, but they did take an hour lunch break. They got about 40% done. The next day they were there a little longer, about eleven hours; I'm not even sure it was eleven hours - no, it wasn't that much because they arrived late. It was about another nine hour day. But they got most everything done and they were very nice and they were nice people, hard working. They got a little sloppy at the end. They were trying to rush and got a little sloppy. After they left I went around and looked and for the most part they did a good job, but I did find several sections where they didn't double-coat the trim in one area where somehow they must have just missed the whole section at the lower end - didn't paint it at all. So they didn't actually put in the full 40 hours they talked about, and like I said, they didn't complete the job. I would give them a B-plus rating; I wouldn't say they did an A job but I would say it wasn't bad either. But they didn't really complete it and do the full 40 hours they promised to do. I'm not totally dissatisfied or anything like that. For the most part, I'm fairly satisfied with what they did. I would use them in the future, but I would make it contingent on payment after the job was done instead of before. One thing I was disappointed by, I did ask them when they left to have the owner contact me, and I never got any follow-up call, no inquiry as to my satisfaction or was anything left undone or anything like that. It was just over and done and I never heard anything again. That's why instead of giving them an A, I'm giving them a B."

"Optimist Technician, Jerome McCarter, came out diagnosed the problem and corrected it. He was punctual, professional, thorough and respectful. He also gave me tips on maintenance of the system. I was delighted that he got the system up and running as it was extremely hot in the house. He did a great job."
