"I think they fertilized the weeds instead of killing them off! They are coming out to re-treat the lawn and try to make it right."

"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 />"

"They have been great. I have an area in my back yard where it has stayed wet for a majority or the lawn mowing season. The mowing crew took the time to see that there was a problem and did NOT use the large riding mower in the wet area that would leave big tire tracks in the yard. Instead they used a smaller push mower and on several occasions when it was very wet only used a string trimmer in the area that was water saturated."

"I've been with them for so long, I can't compare them with the others. I'm happy price-wise. I think they do a good job and are responsive. If I ever get a problem about them not getting out all the weeds, all I have to do is call back two or three times."

"Have used Scooter's twice. In both instances, Jacob returned my call promptly and they showed up for work when he said they would. They did a great job and the lawn looked terrific when they were done. My lawn is very large with many mature trees and I requested that the leaves be blown and bagged, rather than simply mulched (which they will also do if requested). I thought their pricing was very reasonable, given the huge volume of leaves they had to remove."

"I am very happy and they advised me that there were certain bugs that had come in early and they treated them instead of cutting them off. They have always been informative."
