I met with Jodie Hinman for a design and layout. She made great recommendations and was extremely thorough in reviewing and understanding what we were looking to accomplish. As a result, we completed mulching, new sod in front and back yard, extensive tree trimming, extensive landscape in the front and back yard, a rock garden and a deck. \r
From the beginning I was impressed with Jodie and how she handled everything we asked for. I tend to require a lot of communication during projects like this and no matter day or night she answered emails, made suggestions, provided quotes, went outside of her company to find other contractors to do special work. Honestly, in the 10 years I've been doing home renovations (on 3 different houses) I've never experienced such dedication from one person at a company. She met on-site with her crew at the beginning of every large project, she listened and implemented or addressed everything I mentioned as a concern - especially the shallow TV cable line that was barely 2 inches underground - her crew went out of their way to know where it ran and how to handle it so it wouldn't be broken during the sod planting process. When I had any questions or concerns she would either stop by or know exactly what the issue was. Beyond Jodie, Kingstowne Lawn and Landscape has a great crew of folks that are professional, skilled and know how to handle anything. The results of the work exceeded my expectations, the deck crew did an amazing job - everything was done on time, on budget with no surprise costs, cleaned, swept - no nails left in the driveway, no dirt piles left around. Just an all around great job. I have read reports on here that their pricing is a bit higher than others - I definitely did not experience that. What's more impressive is they were able to fit us into their schedule to build a deck after the company we had hired to do the deck went bankrupt - we walked through scope, price, timing very quickly and the only delay was because of rain and the city permitting process. Just amazing.\r
