Our front lawn was desperately in need of a makeover due to clover overgrowth and bare spots. We…read morehad used Local Roots Landscaping when we purchased our home to install some flower beds and wanted to work with them again since we were so happy with their work. When March came, we knew what we wanted to accomplish, and Matt Huebner was assigned our estimate. Our project consisted of a resodding installation for our front yard, cleaning out and the mulching of our flower beds. Matt didn't even need to visit our property to do the estimate, instead using satellite imagery for our property lines and work areas. Their quote was received promptly and was within our budget, so we approved the estimate and scheduled the work to be completed. We were hoping to have the project done in May but Pittsburgh weather being what it is and a rainy May, things got started on May 26 (Friday). Ben and his crew (For transparency, I'll mention that the work was subcontracted out to another local Landscaper who does most of the general landscaping for Local Roots) arrived around 9am and hoped to finish the job in one day. They worked until early evening and would have completed the job but ran short on mulch. We were fine with that because the sod was installed by the end of the day, so our yard didn't look unsightly over the weekend. The crew returned the following Tuesday to complete some mulching and only needed about an hour to finish. Things looked fantastic and the grass is growing out nicely almost two weeks later. We are very happy with what we had done.

We hired Local Roots Landscaping to design our backyard. They came to our house, had a lovely…read moreconversation and explained what we would like done. Roughly 3 weeks later we had a video conference and they reveal our design. During the call they did not give us fencing options to look at and that was the main reason we were redoing our back yard and hired them. All they did was quote us on a vinyl fence, which we clearly stated we did not want, and an aluminum fence. They did give us plant options however we clearly stated we wanted roses, a space for a hot tub to be added later and a space for a fire pit, None of which they took into consideration. As soon as the call was over I received a bill for $1200. My boyfriend and I spent time reviewing the design and overall we were not very happy. It was like they took the existing yard and added a retaining wall. They did not include several items that we asked for and quoted us for something we clearly stated we did not want. Two days later I sent an email to the company stating that my boyfriend and I were not happy with the design. I listed the reasons why and said that we would be moving on from their company. Come Monday morning and I received an email with an overdue bill for $1200 dollars. It was 4 days after the design meeting and now all of the sudden I have an overdue bill??? They did not respond to my email and ask "how can we make this right" or anyway to fix it they just sent an "overdue" bill that I got 4 days earlier. They quoted us over $170,000 for our design, which we were going to pay with a few design changes, and they didn't even ask HOW CAN WE MAKE THIS RIGHT? I do not recommend this company.

Joe took the time to observe the patio area while dropping off supplies and offered expert advice and reassurance even though he knew we were tackling the patio ourselves.

In fact, the new homeowner is continuing his services. The yard is challenging; it's basically a rocky, steep hill with lots of overgrowth. I called 15+ companies before finding this one, and of the few that bothered to return my call, they declined the job because of the hill. He had no hesitations about the lawn, and was willing to schedule right away. He did a good job getting the overgrowth under control initially, and has maintained the space well. Mohamad has been caring for the lawn biweekly for the last two months. He communicates promptly and proactively, shows up when he says he will, and does consistent work at a reasonable rate. I would recommend his work to anyone in the area who wants someone who will work hard and do the job well.

Anyone who has done this work knows that even with careful planting from reputable nurseries, a number of plants *can* die. In these rare cases, my landscaping plant suppliers have kindly worked with me when this kind of loss occurs. Some have offered a percentage off for replacement and even the big name hardware stores sometimes offer full replacement for stock that fails. But replacement is not the issue. I have no problem when faced with a supplier who *kindly* says they cannot offer any replacement or discount for plant stock that dies - I get that. ---At Cavanaugh Landscaping, When I inquired about an unusually high number of plants that had died after planting, the man I spoke to was rude - and I'm being kind. I can't objectively complain about a 60/70% plant failure rate (although I've never experienced this before) - but I *can* complain about someone who tells me I'm an idiot who doesn't know what the [expletive deleted] I'm doing - even if that is the case.
