“I'll have my crew here this afternoon.”
When I moved to West Islip last year, I bought a lawn mower. I was going to be the kind of man who mows his own lawn. That lasted until my second daughter was born in June and my yard started to resemble a jungle. I was surprised at how hard it was to find a reliable landscaper - until I spoke to Bob.
The next day he was at my house to personally examine the property and give me an accurate quote. He was so knowledgeable about boxwoods and thatching - my head was spinning. Everything he mentioned sounded great and I asked if we'd be able to have the work done sometime that week. He said, "I'll have my crew here this afternoon."
The tremendous service was matched only by the fantastic work they did. Trimmed bushes, uprooted and replanted small plants, mulched the flower beds - and the lawn has never looked better.
It's only been a couple months but I cannot recommend Bob enough. He and his family take great pride in their work and it shows.
"I left my number and Bob Wieland called me that night, showed up the next day, and the work was completed the following day."
"It doesn't get better than Bob Wieland and his staff. He has made our property beautiful for many years, and his response time is amazing."
"I cannot say enough about this company and their crew. Absolute professionals. If I could, they would have 10 stars in every category."
"When I left for work in the morning, I had no idea I would return to a home more beautiful than I could imagine. His crew cleaned up so well you wouldn't know they were there."
"Bob is an artist in placing transplants and removing deadwood and antiquated bushes. He made my yard into a new, beautiful look."
"Quote and service were exactly as promised. Bob is an honest guy who delivers on time."
