I had one stone come loose right after our last snow and I contacted David about it. He sent someone out in less than a week to repair it. And recently, I contacted them to do a spring clean-up, redo a garden with the addition of a retaining wall, and to install stone steppers on a hill. From start to finish, it was professionalism all the way. David was very prompt in putting the proposal together and after I agreed with the terms, he got me on the schedule for work to be done in less than 3 weeks. The team was extremely nice, courteous, prompt. I would highly recommend this company.

Pro Landscapes did a project for us last fall and I will not recommend them to anyone. The rep who…read moredid the estimate and recommended plants did not know our plant hardiness zone. He did not give me a design. So I did my own sketch and (foolishly) still hired the company. Despite following all aftercare directions, more than half of the plants failed. I started investigating and found that the crew installed plants with the plastic plant tags buried in the ground with the plant. Mulch used by the company was infested with a nasty fungi that took a lot of time this spring to get rid of. There really was no followup to speak of. The rep said he would share with the crew supervisor that the mulch had a fungus attached to it. Lisa, their administrative person, was very professional and on top of things. I have nothing but good things to say about her. But we are now $3,000 in debt for a poorly executed landscaping job. It makes me never want to hire another landscaping company. I am a gardener and could have done a better job myself and saved a lot of money.

Over a decade ago, we embarked on a journey to transform our landscape, pouring countless hours…read moreinto meticulous pruning, edging, trimming, mulching, and fertilizing each season. Despite our efforts, time took its toll, leaving our beds overgrown and weary, with patches of barren ground. It was time for a rejuvenation and a fresh start for our cherished outdoor space! Enter "A Better Bloomscape", recommended by a thoughtful neighbor. From the moment they arrived, their expertise shone brightly. With utmost professionalism and genuine courtesy, they walked our property, capturing its essence through photographs and thoughtful questions about our preferences. They presented us with a plethora of options tailored to our soil type, sunlight patterns, and existing flora. They meticulously crafted a comprehensive landscape plan. What truly set them apart was their innovative approach -- they provided visual mock-ups, superimposing potential plants and trees onto images of our very own property. This foresight allowed us to envision the transformation before making any commitments. Once we made our final selections, they didn't just leave us to fend for ourselves. No, they meticulously marked out each planting location and even coordinated with a skilled landscaper to ensure a flawless transition. Their commitment was unwavering, and they oversaw every detail during installation, ensuring each plant found its perfect place within our landscape canvas. Their dedication didn't end there. Post-installation, they checked in periodically, offering advice and reminders to nurture our new botanical additions. Their genuine care and attention to detail were matched only by their reasonable pricing, making their exceptional service even more remarkable. Today, our yard stands as a testament to their expertise and our shared vision. We find joy in every stroll through our revitalized landscape, delighting in the vibrant colors, thriving greenery, and countless butterflies. Our neighbors have taken notice too, showering us with compliments on our beautifully re-transformed outdoor haven. Thank you, "A Better Bloomscape", for not just enhancing our landscape, but for enriching our lives with your passion and commitment to excellence!! We eagerly look forward to working with you again, knowing our trust is placed in the hands of true professionals who genuinely care about our satisfaction. And, hopefully, more of our neighbors will use your services so that everyone's yard can look as good as ours!

We decided to get a quote from Rhine after they did a good job with tree maintenance/ removal and…read moreafter our neighbors recommended them. Unfortunately, our experience did not meet expectations. We paid $900 up front for the design document for a screened in porch and paver patio. Rhine doesn't provide design documents as part of the quote. You need to pay for it. Honestly the design document was nothing special; It was a 2D computer generated drawing, which I doubt could have taken the designer more than a day to develop. Also, we were told that we could use the design document with other contractors, but the document didn't include dimensions or measurements. Ultimately we didn't get a lot of value out of the design document, and we consider it a wasted expense. (Thank goodness we didn't pay the full rate of $1,800 for the design document!) Additionally, it took us several attempts to meet with the designer. He was a no-show for our first meeting (he had a personal emergency, which is understandable), but then it took several emails to land on a new appointment time. He was then late to the rescheduled appointment. We also requested design revisions via email, and we had to follow up several times to get an acknowledgment of our request, with additional follow up needed to actually get the revised version back. Finally, the quoted rate for our project compared to local competition was simply outrageous. The project cost range was about 1.5-3 times more expensive than quotes we got from other vendors. Additionally, other vendors provided 3D design renders at no cost as part of their quote. We asked what was the explanation for such a high quote: did this include all premium materials? We were told that the quote included standard materials, and that if we wanted to choose custom / premium materials, the price would go up from there. My sense was that the scope of the project was too small for them, so they quoted us something outrageous so we wouldn't go with them. But if that's the case, the business owner should have been up front with us that they only take on bigger projects before taking $900 for what wound up being a lackluster design document. Overall, we felt that we got little value from our quote process, compounded by lack of professionalism and lack of respect for our time with regard to our interaction with Rhine. If you own a multimillion dollar home and you have deep pockets then maybe Rhine will be more suited to your purposes. But it seems that Rhine is in a different market than smaller jobs for regular suburban homes in and around Ellicott City.
