I could not agree more with the previous negative review! I moved into a new home, and had the same ""Landscapes Unlimited"" who put the sprinkler system in two months prior, bid and ultimately do the landscaping project for me. I had 8 shrubs, and 1 tree die, and have only had 2 replaced, which both died as well. I had soft topsoil placed on my birms, and below my walkway, which was never packed and settled up to over 18 inches in places on the birm after being irrigated by the sprinkler system. I had a sandstone wall collapse in three places for the same reason of not packing the dirt installed. I was told by another landscaper that the trees and shrubs died because they were tied tight in double wrapped burlap, without loosening the twine, and in most cases were planted too deep, resulting in drowning. The Landscaper was also shocked that the dirt under the flagstone walk was never packed, nor the birms or even the soil against the wall. The back yard had to be redone because it was never leveled, and the low spots had standing water, which made everything in those spots die. Landscapes Unlimited also graded the back yard towards the house, and when I had the house inspected, the inspector found 3 inches of water under my brand new house. The manager charged me three times the amount I signed the contract for on the entire landscaping job. This job was completed in July, and I will say that it was finished very quickly, but I had to have several items redone that were not only not complete, but I was also guaranteed by the manager that none of the items on our signed contract would go over by $100.00 each, and my total bid went over by triple the final amount. The manager is also incompetent at measuring and bidding my job, as he was off on most of the individual bidding. You may inquire about more detailed information regarding the poor experience I have had with this manager from Landscapes Unlimited on my job site at the City Search reply section.
Pros: Finished the job in one day.
Cons: Manager is incompetent at his job and will not stand behind measurements and pricing that he signed for on the contract.
