I requested to have my sister-in-law's driveway cleared in Ithaca, NY so she wouldn't have to…read moreshovel it. Though it was Sunday, Tim from Brazo A-Z Landscaping and Snow Removal replied within minutes and said he could plow the driveway on Monday for what seemed a very reasonable price. On Monday, Tim found that a contractor's truck was blocking the driveway. He called and said he could return later that day and see if the truck was gone. He went over Monday evening and was able to plow the driveway for no extra charge. My sister-in-law was thrilled with the job Tim had done and happy not to have to shovel. I highly recommend Tim and Brazo A-Z for going the extra mile to finish the job for a good price.

The Plantsman is a nursery specializing in native plants, with at least 200 varieties, most started…read morefrom their own native seeds or existing stock. They also carry some common garden plants too. Their grounds carry everything from foundational trees and shrubs to easy growing flowers to veggies and fruits. They also have sections organized by Deer Resistant, Veggies, Shade Shrubs, Sun, Partial Shade, Trees, Partial Shade Flowers, etc. It's easy to find your way around, though the staff will gladly help too. I found their nursery to be sizeable but not overwhelming. As someone who is newer to gardening I thought their signage is some of the best I have ever seen- on every plant variety they have a big sign with its common name, genius, zones, size, sun/shade needs, if the plant is native or not, and unique features, along with clear pricing. The signage was useful in making sure the plants would be happy at my home, though all the plants I looked at seemed fairly robust period. I wound up with some shade loving white wood asters, sun loving sunflowers, and brown-eyed susans. While I'm a newbie gardener I think more experienced gardeners would be happy here too given all the options and knowledge at hand. They do have a big commercial/pickup side and offer landscaping and hardscaping services for those who are interested. I thought car parking was easy but I was also visiting towards the end of the end of a day on a weekday.

We hired this company to build a deck. We knew that they were a relatively new company but they…read moreseemed professional - at first. They made a lot of sloppy mistakes that look terrible. Some of it seemed like an easy fix, so we politely asked them to fix the trouble spots. The owner guilted me into paying quickly so that he could "pay his guys" and then simply ignored our attempts to contact him. Do not hire - they are inexperienced and dishonorable.

Brandon was a nice young man who started his business this last February. I needed him to paint my…read moreliving room and master bedroom. He gave what I felt was a fair price. He showed up with his father to do the work. I was a bit surprised when he did not prep the rooms with drop cloths and painter's tape. It took the two of them all day for just two rooms. My hardwood floors and floor trim had pain all over the place. He had to come back the next day to paint the places he missed and start the exhaustive clean up. He seemed a bit put off when I had to keep pointing out areas he needed to touch up and where the floor was not cleaned up. I was helping to clean up parts of the living room for them , not easy since I am disabled, when my back was turned, Brandon and his helped took off without doing a final check in with me. My advice to Brandon is to ensure that you properly prep your rooms to avoid the catastrophe like what happed at my home. I will need to hire a house cleaner to finish cleaning the floors. Hopefully this was a learning experience for you. Hopefully future projects will go better.
