Description Of Work: A retaining wall needed to be replaced.
Customer Comments:
At our home, there were a few odd and end jobs that needed to be done. One of those was a retaining wall that was made originally out of old railroad ties needed to be replaced. Proper drainage was never installed, so the wall started leaning. Jacob had done a previous job for us at a rental property and did such a great job, we knew his company was the one we wanted to use again.
The wall must have been original to the house (20 years old) and was rotting from the inside out. Jacob removed the railroad ties and tiered the wall so that we are able to put on a deck next summer. He also put in proper drainage.
Once the wall was up, he cleaned up the area and made sure everything was back in order.
ANOTHER job well done by Jacob and his crew. We highly recommend him!

Description Of Work: Replaced retaining wall
Customer Comments:
We got a call from our neighbors about the wall at our rental home falling. After some heavy rains (and many years of improper drainage behind the wall), it finally gave way. Originally we had a cement block wall holding up the neighbor's yard from our yard. We had to immediately resolve the situation. We called Jake again because he did such a great job on trimming our trees. He came right out and assessed the damage. Due to the wall being on a dividing line of properties, we also had to include our neighbors in the decision to hire him. They took our recommendation to use Jake.
Jake was able to fit us in before any other damage was done. Jake knew the city codes and decided the best option for us would be a tiered wall. He even threw in extra drainage for no extra charge. Both my neighbor and myself were so thankful for Jake being able to solve our problem in such a quick manner. They cleaned up all their mess and sodded the yard.

Description Of Work: Trees needed to be cut down and trimmed.
Customer Comments:
We have a fairly large yard with established trees. After an ice storm the fall before and a very strong winded day, a lot of our trees either broke or needed trimming higher than we were able to reach. We had many door-to-door estimators that were claiming they could trim up 3-4 trees for $3500.00. We had over 10 that needed to be done. There was no way we were going to pay close to $3500.00 to trim up the trees. Jacob came over and gave us an estimate to trim all trees and cut one down for the price of $600.00. He told us up front that if he wanted us to remove the fallen branches and such that it would cost more. We decided to do it ourselves since we burn it in our fireplace.
Jacob was not only considerate, but knowledgeable about this job. He got it done in one day (the day that it was scheduled to be done).
After completion, he mentioned he does other landscaping work as well. We immediately recommended him to a friend who needed a patio. They were so impressed, they in turn recommended him to do work for their friends.

Description Of Work: Removal of two dead trees that a storm had knocked down, plus the removal of a large dead tree that was still standing. They also took down numerous smaller dead trees.
Customer Comments:
I was very impressed by how quickly Pine Ridge came out to give me an estimate. They quoted me a price on the spot and wrote up a detailed contact. The workers showed up at the stated time. This was a multiple day effort and they kept me informed of their schedule. When they left the first day, they stack the branches on the side of the yard. They arrived for their second day of work as promised. At the end, they asked if they had removed all of the agreed upon trees (they had). They hauled away all of the branches and racked up the area, making sure to close the fence gate so my dogs would not get out. For ease of the tree removal, the guys took down a line that I hang my bird feeders on. They carefully arranged the feeders so they could place the feeders back in the correct order. An excellent example of having the customer first in their thoughts. I would use this company again.

Description Of Work: Pine Ridge completed a professional landscape design for my back yard. Along with the professional design they bid out my job broken down into phases as I'd requested. I hired them to install the plant beds - removing the existing sod, installing steel edging and laying new rock. They also picked out and delivered all the plants which I chose to plant myself.
Customer Comments:
Jacob set up and appointment and came out to talk through the job with me. He put together a professional design taking into account what I wanted (low maintenance, pet safe, etc). He even went the extra step to contact a vet tech and make sure that all the plants we chose were safe for my dogs. The company put together a variety of bids for me so that I could choose the job that was financially best for me. I obtained other bids for the same work and their bid was competitive. The landscaping crew was professional, friendly and hard working. They did an excellent job and cleaned up after themselves. Jacob came out to check on us during the portion of the job we chose to do ourselves and a final walk through was done to make sure that we were 100% satisfied. All in all it was an excellent experience. I receive compliments from my neighbors and friends on how nice it looks and I plan to hire them again when I'm ready to do the next phase of the job.
