"Applied a resurface of my driveway and expanded its width. Prompt and friendly service, done at or under the estimated price. The quality is good and I would not hesitate to call them again."

"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 />"

"Jan, the designer, was wonderful to work with. She came out promptly after we called, listened carefully to what we had in mind and what we wanted to spend, and came up with a lovely design within a week. Not only did she provide a scaled drawing, but also a photograph of our home "digitally enhanced"  with all of the plants she planned to use. She figured the contract with and without installation costs, and the installation charges were reasonable. The crew that did the installation was also excellent. The three guys were friendly and professional, and they worked quickly and diligently, completing the project in a timely manner. The results were above our expectations. We will definitely use Tripp Landscaping for future projects! <br />"

"<p>We had a new sunroom installed, and wanted a new concrete patio to go along with it.</p> <p>First, the positives:</p> <p>Contacted Mr. Mabe after seeing him listed here on Angie's List.  He came out to our house, inspected the site, took measurements and gave us a quote.  To his credit Mr. Mabe made some suggestions that improved the design of the patio (like rounding the corners, and such).  He was also flexible enough to alter the proposal to increase the size of the pad at the very last minute (the day they arrived to start excavating.). Additionally, when it became apparent that the BOBCAT that they were using to haul rock and concrete was leaving ruts in my yard, Mr Mabe and his helper used a wheel barrow to move rock and concrete from my front driveway to the rear of our house (to the patio site).</p> <p>Due to delays finishing the installation of our sunroom, we didn't start the patio project until November of 2013. The proposal was signed on November 12th. The actual work started about a week later.</p> <p>The ground was excavated, the forms were laid, and the rock base was spread.  All this went off with out a hitch.</p> <p>Now the negatives:</p> <p>After the forms were laid, and rock spread, the concrete truck arrived to pour the concrete.  Because of the late start of the project, it was now the 3rd week of November and we were trying to finish before the weather turned bad. The day of the pouring, the weatherman predicted rain late that evening. We decided to risk it, and started pouring.  Toward the end of the pouring, it started to rain. Mr Mabe scrambled to finish 'leveling' the concrete before the sun went down. He was kneeling on a pad, trying to trowel the pad as level as he could. When he finished, he didn't have any plastic to cover the new concrete, and had to borrow some from me.</p> <p>When he finished and was packing up, he asked for the balance of his payment (50% of $1300.00).  I told him I didn't like the way he rushed the final troweling (he left obvious trowel marks, and I have a knee-pad impression right in the middle of my pad), and that I wanted to hold 10% of the payment until he came back some other day to finish it.  Mr Mabe gave me a hard-luck story of needing all the money to pay material costs, and offed to annotate the written proposal to say he would "come back after the weekend and patch any areas needed from the rain or resurface the entire pad". I agreed, and gave him the balance of my bill.</p> <p>The following week came and went without any word from Mr Mabe.  I wasn't too upset, the temperature had dropped, and it was unlikely that we would use our new patio until the following spring.  I assumed Mr Mabe would contact me to schedule a return visit. </p> <p>Nothing.  Finally, I called him on the 6th of March, got his voice mail and left a message asking him to call and schedule a return visit.  No response. What followed was a game of me leaving voice mails every few days until the 24th of March, when Mr Mabe returned my called, explained that his cell phone 'broke', and wasn't aware of the calls I had made, and promised to come out in a couple of days.  Nope. Never showed up.  This farce continued.  I would call, leave voice mail, he return my call, and promised to show up. Never did.  Finally, in April (I forget the date), Mr Mabe shows up, and we go to the back yard to look at the concrete pad he poured.  He looked at it, said "That's not too bad, we can fix that", and left.  We have NEVER heard from Mr Mabe since.</p> <p>I am upset with the quality of his workmanship, but I am d*** mad being lied to, direct to my face.</p> <p>Word to the Wise, if you work with this gentleman, under no circumstances, pay the full balance until you are satisfied with his work.   </p> <br />"
