"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.

"Kyle and the crew were great to work with. Very affordable for the work that was done. The irrigation crew was fantastic as well. They worked during the rain and did not give up. Daniel and his crew (irrigation) worked very hard and got the job done in 1.5 days. Now I don’t have to drag my portable sprinkler around my house any longer. Thanks to Linx Outdoors!!"

"They were on time, professional, trustworthy, and experts."

"Done on time and well done.

"Very quick response to any concerns I have. HydroGreen’s professional knowledge is unmatched. They explain what needs to be done in a way that’s easy to understand. You can’t beat the competitive prices."

"It was beautiful.  We just love how the landscape looks, and how it adds
a wonderful dimension to our home.  Even our neighbor, who is a master
gardener, complemented his work, saying Scott was amazing.
Scott is easy to work with, open to options other than his, and provides
knowledgeable advice.  I believe he has a degree in landscape
architecture from Purdue.  Sometimes he was slow to respond to requests
of mine, but always tells me to "harass him."  I do,and he is of good
humor about that.

"Fast, professional, and reasonable rates."

"It went very well. The guys were very professional and I am very pleased with the work they did. They were very friendly and worked very hard until the job was done. 100% would recommend. I am looking forward to continuing business with their company!"

"Henry is a nice person and tries to do a good job. We had a pretty difficult problem to fix and he wasn't able to follow through with completion of the job.  For minor sprinkler problems he would likely do a good job.The problem is that he said he would follow through with our job but didn't.

"The project went better than I had expected.  
Over the years I've suffered through, itinerant cowboys with chain saws, and tank drivers with bucket loaders doing yard work.  Frankly, I wasn't looking forward to this fix.  Our small 26-year old front yard had begun to look like a British Golf Course.  Sink holes and high spots had developed to the point where the mower couldn't handle it any more.   I had anticipated a complete re-do of the entire front yard...  
WOW - was I surprised by how little needed to be done to actually fix the problem.  Brandon has a keen eye and a surgeon's ability to do only disturb the bad parts and leave the good parts un-touched.  The result, in this case, was only a small portion of the yard was affected with amazing results.
If you're looking for a company that does really good professional work and pays attention to ALL the little details then this is the place to go.
