The Magic Beans Work! Me and my wife have been using Megan at Magic Beans Landscaping for over a year now and have been nothing but impressed from the first day. Any of the crew members that come out for our weekly service are so professional, courteous, and overall awesome. They always take the time time to answer any questions that we have and offer us advice for improving the lawn and landscaping. Megan was very prompt to respond to email inquiries and very budget friendly. The results from her work are above our expectations every time and I can easily say, "The Magic Beans worked for me". We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. Try the Magic Beans! read more

From the beginning, Megan, has been completely unprofessional. She basically named 100 plants and asked me which ones I liked. Then for $100 she created a couple landscape draw ups for my yard. That is where I should have ended the relationship. She was delayed in planting. The first day was spent just dropping things off in my yard. The second she tried to get other workers at our house to relocate those plants for her until she was told they didn't even work for her. Then she had one guy plant as much as possible- she never stayed to help or discuss the yard with me in person. The poor guy would show up at 2pm and work until 7pm unless it rained, which it did daily. The estimated 2 day install took over a week. She ordered the wrong number of plants for our yard and tried to charge us to get them. The worker left plant buckets and a huge pile of dirt in our yard- she never even came by to Inspect the job afterwards. One of our plants died within a month of install, and she just said, "per our contract, I'm not responsible for irrigation or plant care after install." No common courtesy or advice, I had to ask multiple times just for plant care tips and advice. I do not recommend this company unless you have 7k to burn and don't mind dying plants and zero customer service. read more

Awful! I didn't hire them but my neighbor did and it was a completely mismanaged project. I had property stolen, damage to my property, was harassed by them, they looked in my windows, screamed at me, dropped massive debris in my yard, left nails in the surrounding street,, damaged my car, total nightmare contractor. Feel free to contact me for photos and videos of all of the above. Never hire this crew. Meghan is beyond unprofessional and causes significant drama, delays, and her quality of work and awareness of neighbors resulted in dozens of interactions with the police along with criminal trespassing warning due to the ongoing harassment and damages caused by the owner of this business. read more

Reliably fast and thorough. They're also *quiet*--my wife and I are often at home and don't notice the work getting done just a few feet outside our front windows. Would strongly recommend. read more

Highly recommend Megan, owner of next generation + magic beans landscaping. !!! Not only was she proactive in responsive time she was professional in all aspects , work contracts and finished project in timely manner within 1 day for spring cleanup and mulch around flowerbeds and weed removal ! Megan and her crew were professional and all around pleasant and responsive to questions. As a small business owner myself I appreciate her work ethic and give my highest recommendation !!! Andie read more

I had a terrible experience with this business. I hired her to cut down an ash sapling in my front yard. I showed her the exact sapling. Instead, she cut down a healthy 17 year old viburnum. It was devastating. Initially she offered to replace the viburnum but then she quit taking my calls..... I've spent hundreds trying to fix this problem but the damage is irreparable..... read more

The actual work that Magic Beans does is very good. However the business practices make me unable to recommend them. Their first engagement was for a spring cleaning. They came out and did an estimate and I approved the work. Halfway through the work they told me it would cost roughly double the estimate, or they could stop work and leave the project halfway completed. Everything was visible during the estimate, and if these are true professionals, they would understand what work is required. In retrospect I believe they low-balled the bid and planned the up-sell, as I have seen other folks making a similar statement that the work price changed mid-project. Following this, there was miscommunication where Megan sent a text that implied they would be doing ongoing maintenance. While the text stated they would be coming out weekly, the price was about the same as what they quote in their monthly contract at $220/month for maintenance of a mid-sized yard. (Their actual contract document shows a somewhat lower price). Regardless, Magic Beans actually did not do any work, and after a month the place was growing significant weeds again. I asked Megan to look at this and advise me what was needed. A short time later she replies that they have already started work and want almost $1400 - and that the previous quote of $220 was per week. That is utterly ludicrous. $1000/month for maintaining a Martin Acres yard? But she was going to discount it by30% because of the communication problem. Since she already started work, she wanted me to pay the whole price or "half and they will stop work then." This all happened within an hour and a half of my message. There is no way that more than an hour of work had occurred at that time. At no time had I told her to start work. In the end, I paid her for one hour of labor at her absolutely unfounded labor rate of $75/person for 2 people for an hour. I feel this was still an extortionate amount and especially since I had not approved the work. As I said at the beginning, the actual work is good. But they are way beyond expensive, and I feel that they use deceptive business practices. If you use them, be sure to have an absolute agreement as to scope and prices. read more

They are the best for snow removal. Everything is finished in a timely manner and the driveway and walkways are perfectly clear! No more slipping and sliding or plunging into the snow for my puppies and kids! read more

LOOK Out! I am stunned to see someone of Megan's character actually being allowed to do any business in Boulder. I am new at getting snow removal done but talked to her at length about being able to terminate our relationship if it did not work out. WELLL we had a storm and for the first time her crew came over to shovel my walks (NOT EVEN DRIVE) She charged me 180.00 dollars to just do my front entry and walks. THEN when i told her this was not going to work out for me, she had me pay a 100 dollar fee to terminate contract. I had seen that clause and tried to redact it but the computer would not take changes so i was stupid enough to sign on thinking she was a woman of her word as she said NO problem with termination. i have lived in Boulder for over 40 years and she is absolutely the most obnoxious underhanded business person I have ever delt with Sham on me for being so trusting so i paid 280.00 dollars for a job that I now pay a wonderful company 40 to do snow removal. LOOK OUT those thinking of using her various businesses. This new design company Banich I am sure she will find new and better ways to rip one off Good luck if you EVER think of using her company. If you read her yelp assessments of her work you will se i am certainly not the first person she has ripped off. Mary Schubert read more

I don't know anything about Megan's landscaping skills, but she clearly has no ethics. I work at an animal shelter and a fellow coworker (also named Megan) was asking for donations right before the holidays for one of our staff who is struggling financially due to health issues. I accidentally sent Megan Banich money via Venmo instead. I messaged her three times about the mistake asking her to return the money and no reply. read more

Very reliable! Definitely recommend for snow removal. They always show up on time and get the job done so quickly!

Great company! Sorry Megan. Should've done this awhile back. Great work, and great response time. Very efficient in work detail! Defiantly will be using them again! read more

Megan and her company sounds adequate at yard clean up and snow based on other reviews, however steer clear for any landscaping projects! We had hope in the artistic vision, however Megan's unprofessional behavior and clear lack of experience has been disappointing. To make this brief, Megan: 1. Ordered the wrong pavers and then blamed us for it (despite us contacting her, us clearly stating we were concerned she would order the wrong pavers based on her information) 2. She played music rather loud and into borderline late times, disturbing our neighbors. My husband had to ask her to turn it down and to wrap up for the night. 3. She brought her dogs and left them barking in her car to the job site, which concerned our neighbors who confronted them. 4. She had a loud verbal altercation with her coworker outside our house, causing us much embarrassment. 5. She clearly did not know how to properly bid the project and asked for more money, which we gave to her. However, when we corrected her paver error, she refused to return the difference (the pavers we wanted were cheaper than what she had ordered). 6. She and her team left 3+ trashbins full of debris, rocks, dirt, concrete, empty concrete bags, etc. in the alley and infringing on our neighbors driveway. She refused to clear it stating (from an email) "I never once on the contract stated that I would take away trash from the property, you can go to the contract and view this yourself" ~Megan Banich). Eventually my husband cleaned it and the debris is in our garage where will are paying to have it removed. 7. The work is only mediocre. My husband and I are installing the correct pavers ourselves since she ordered the wrong ones. The irrigation lines are not buried properly. Some concrete work has exposed rebar and is already crumbling away at the bottom. It wouldn't be as stressful if she was willing to review what they charged and come to agreements, however she is extremely aggressive and has no customer service skills. Throughout the entire experience, we were made to feel like we were being difficult, which is simply not true and not who my husband or I are as people. She said we keep making changes to the plans, which was also not true. It was almost bizarre how she would accuse us of making changes, however it was because she kept making mistakes on what we wanted. Anytime we corrected her, she called it a "change". There is some sort of mental disconnect on that one. There are so many great landscapers we wish we would have hired. We wanted to give this young company a chance but we regret it. Yard clean up and snow removal sounds appropriate for them, but if you need anything more skilled, please hire someone else. read more

Megan and Magic Beans was extremely easy to reach out to and get her to come out and give me a quote. Once it was time to start the work there were some issues on their part renting a trailer (not a problem once she explained the cause to me). They were doing a great job but after almost a full day of work Megan texted me that the scope of the work turned out to be a lot bigger and that she was not going to be able to finish the work for the price that she had set. I get that jobs can get out of hand but only 1/10th of the job was actually done. At this point she charged based on itemized costs, which we never agreed to. If you are dead set on working with Magic Beans make sure that you have a VERY clear contract stating exactly what work is going to be done and at what price. Otherwise expect for the costs to be on YOU if Megan doesn't provide an appropriate quote. Also, side note but minor annoyance. She brought her dog to the job and left the dog's waste after leaving. read more

Just great! Awesome service. Timely response. Will use them again.

Not sure why I'm wasting my time doing this because this company never wasted any on me, I called them twice and this was with a very sizable potential contract, never even got a call back, had I have read the reviews prior to trying, I'd not have bothered. A shocking way to run a business. read more

This business was very professional, quick, and easy to reach. I would use this business for all of my lawn care needs! By far the best and most reasonable priced around! Never felt so comfortable having someone come to my house to help me when I am not home. read more

Megan and her crew showed up on time and completed the work in a timely and effective fashion. she obviously takes great care in her work and i will definitely be using her services again. read more

My neighbor worked with this company and let me tell you I'm glad I didn't as I was about to call them for a quote . Megan the owner left her dogs in the truck all day. The poor dogs were barking non stop. She took them for a walk once and didn't clean up the dogs poop. When my neighbor left the house about 10 minutes later I noticed a funky smell come to find out Megan is smoking marijuana on the property. After about 15 minutes she is smoking a cigarette on the property. I know my neighbor didn't allow that because she has asthma and even the faint smell of smoke will cause her problems. I had to shut my windows because of the smell and the music which was sad because it was It was such a beautiful day. I thought it couldn't get any worse but then I heard an altercation, come to find Megan yelling at someone. I couldn't tell if it was an employee or someone on the phone. She was yelling for several minutes. After that I had to leave my home. I couldn't handle the disturbance anymore. After returning home I asked my neighbor to see their work and I could barley tell a difference and the price she told me was a rip off. Unless you are ok with dog poop, barking dogs, yelling, loud music, high prices and marijuana/ cigarette smoke I don't recommend this company. They are so unprofessional and unkind to neighbors and property owners. It's a shame. read more

Megan and her crew are very professional and did a great job cleaning up my yard for fall. I'm going to have her come back and clean up the leaves, too. I heard she can get it done in a couple of hours. read more

When I initially contacted Magic Beans Landscaping and snow removal LLC I was greeted by the wonderful owner with positivity and optimism about the project we would soon get started! I was very impressed by the reasonable quote that was given to me and the quality of work that the team provided was exceptional to say the least. Strongly recommend for all Landscaping and snow removal needs! read more
