"I was so thrilled with the job that Scott's Landscaping did for our front yard 2 weeks ago, that I called them back to help us with our backyard! Scott is super friendly and knowledgeable, and he helped us with the customization process by showing us great pictures of plants he had in mind for the front of our house after taking the time to learn about our style/aesthetic, and he really listened to what we wanted. Scott completed our front yard in an entire afternoon, and when we came home to the beautiful finished product, he showed me and my husband how to take care of our new plants (which are thankfully low-maintenance, since that was one of our biggest requirements). We get compliments on our landscaping from the neighbors who walk by, so it has definitely increased our house's curb appeal!"

"Scott's communication is excellent. When I called or emailed, he responded promptly. As it got closer to the installation day, he also made me aware of plants being purchased, what time he would arrive for the work to be done, and how long each step would take. All went as predicted and I now have a much cleaner looking front view of house. While Scott has helpers, he is right there working with them. The final cost was less than estimated...surprise. Scott's s strong assets, which I respect in a contractor, are his work ethic and communication."

"There are not enough positive words in the world to say how impressed we are with Scott and his services!

From the moment he first came to our home to look at our yard, his professionalism was obvious. We could tell how much he truly listened to what we wanted changed (basically everything) and the look and feel that we wanted. His focus was clearly on what we wanted done and how he could make our ideas and thoughts a reality. No sales pitch, just true authenticity and passion for his work.

Scott provided us with several plans to review before we settled on one, and each plan was clearly drawn and labeled. Additionally, with each, he provided accompanying photographs of the plants/trees he was suggesting as well as a detailed estimate of the cost for each item as well as labor and removal fees. For financial professionals as both my husband and I are, this is outstanding service!

When the work started, we thought it would take several days, but Scott had it completed in just two days!!! And it looks BEAUTIFUL. Scott was always very honest with us about what would and would not work and his reasoning - honesty and integrity are something we highly value and Scott is all that and more. You can truly tell by watching and talking with him how passionate he is about his work and his dedication to providing utmost quality to his customers. We would give him more stars if we could with this review, but suffice it to say that we give our highest recommendations for Scott. When we re-do landscaping in our backyard, he is definitely who we will use.

We would also like to add that Scott is very responsive - both before services started and the following (we still had some questions). We are deeply appreciative, especially in the fast-paced world we live in!"

"Scott lives nearby, so he dropped by our house the afternoon that we made our first call.  He was prompt, responsive, flexible, and had lots of good ideas about how to make our landscaping look good while still being low-maintenance. We delayed signing for several weeks as we thought we'd shop around.  Guess what?  Seems other landscapers are either so busy or so inept that they don't bother to return phone calls.  So while I usually get several quotes, we ended up getting fed up with the runaround from the other landscapers we contacted, and we called Scott back and expanded the contract.

Scott and one other worker knocked out all the work in less than a day, then made a follow up appointment with us to go over all the care for the new plants and to show what work he did.  He was very thorough, and the entire yard was clean -- no signs of trimmings or yard waste. Scott professional attitude, prompt responses, and great landscaping made him a great person to work with.  We look forward to using him again and recommending him to others."

"Removed landscaping in front of house. Designed and installed landscaping.

Scott did a great job."

"I got 3 bids for the work and they were all fairly similar. I felt most comfortable with Scott, as he is a landscaping designer; and said he would personally oversee the work. He was on time for all of his appointments, and helped to improve my vision of what I wanted to accomplish in my backyard. He was also very responsive and patient to the many changes I made right up to 3 days before the install was to take place. I changed the type of tree 3 times, and he guided me through the process of what would work best in the urban setting I was working with.

He personally worked two days with his crew to complete the project, and made changes on the fly as we saw what would work and would not. We did have to adjust the price for my changes twice, and he was more than reasonable with that, considering we already had a signed agreement, and he could have been difficult with price changes. At the end of the job, he wrote out a detailed watering schedule and made recommendations on when to fertilize the plants in the future.

I would recommend his company for any job, large or small that you are looking to accomplish. He delivers what is agreed upon, and then goes beyond that to make adjustments as necessary. Because you never really know exactly what you want until you see it developing in front of you."

James M.

"We met with and received estimates from three landscaping companies, including Scott's. Each listened to the work we wanted done and discussed alternative landscaping designs. We wanted someone who was creative and could bring something different to the table. Each came back with drawings, recommended plantings and estimates. Scott was not only the best estimate for the work proposed, but he also was the best listener to what we wanted. He had creative ideas to make it better and his plantings proposals were consistent with the themes we like. The job included removal of numerous shrubs, roses, and pachysandra. Also, he removed and relocated hostas. nandinasand lilies. This took one day.

Then his team returned for a second day and planted new plantings, trees and grasses. He then mulched all our beds with cypress mulch. The work was performed just as planned. The quality of the work was excellent. The clean-up was excellent, too. We are extremely pleased with the results as well as the customer service. Scott has written and called several times since to make sure we are happy with the work.

Throughout the process, Scott kept us informed of what he was doing and when he would do it. He kept every commitment. Our yard hs a very good clean and neat apperance and will be easy to maintain."

Holly R.

"This was the fourth time we have used Scott's and his crew to do projects at two different houses. His designs are great and the front and back of both houses continue to look great. He listens to his clients and works within the customers budget with suggestions on how to add additional plantings later. Always came at the scheduled time, cleaned up the entire area and the price was always what was agreed upon. We will be using him again to update the front yard after we do a complete house exterior update later this month. A professional landscaper on all fronts. I would highly recommend his services."

Alyce R.

"Scott was quick to respond to my phone call to schedule theestimate, and then later when I called back to have him do the project. He is very polite, professional and punctual. He provided me with adrawing of the proposed landscape layout and itemized his fees. I had gotten a few other estimates from other companies, but I chose to go with Scott's company.He listened to my needs regarding the project. I needed something attractive, low maintenance and at an affordable price. That's exactly what I got. He is very knowledgeable about his profession, and did a great job for me. Thanks, Scott."

Holly R.

"Very professional, responsible and creative design. Did exactly what was planned with great follow up. Have just contacted him to do additional services this fall, 2010. Highly recommended. Couldn't be happier with his services."

Irene F.

"Scott did an excellent job and is great in planning for future growth and development. We will continue to work with him in planning our landscape and would recommend him highly!!

Wonderful at working with us in planning for years to come. Quality of materials is above average."

Steve L.

"The entry to my house looks great. Highly recommended. Yard looks great and I am the envy of the neighborhood."

Amanda H.

"Scott landscaped our new construction home and added landscape lighting..very professional service, great quality plants at a good value...highly recommended."

Beth

"We loved the design and work so much, that we asked Scott to help us redesign the front landscaping. Scott clearly communicated when he would come and do the work and he responded to all our questions in a very timely manner. Scott and his crew were professional, efficient and very easy to work with - I highly recommend him."

Betty P.

"Scott came to my house; listened to my ideas regarding the area I wanted to have landscaped; offered suggestions and drew a detailed proposal picturing suggested lay-out and specific scrubs for the area needing work. He also provided a detailed estimate of the job cost. He did all this in an efficient, timely manner. Scott and Bryan (Scott's skilled co-worker) arrived right on time to plant scrubs in front beds and also to re-shape one of the beds. They worked efficiently and carefully. The shrubs they planted were beautiful and appeared to be top quality.. When the job was complete Scott said that he would reduce the estimated job cost since he used less mulch and spent less time on the job than originally estimated. This was a very pleasant surprise and it speaks to Scott's high standards and work ethic. Scott provided specific information regarding watering and and shrub trimming."

Jason K.

"I cannot say enough great things about Scott's work.  He is a detailed guy who goes above and beyond. The project turned out beautifully. I love the new plants, design layout & stone.  I enjoy spreading mulch, so I asked Scott to let me do that part of the job. However, he noticed I didn't have anything to haul that quantity of mulch, so he ran to two different locations after the job was complete to get what I needed and didn't up charge. On top of that, immediately following the completion of the job, we had a weekend of record setting rain. Our grass seed and straw were destroyed. Scott came out first thing Monday to reseed and replace the lost straw.  He has great ideas and is very patient in listening to the consumers concerns and questions. Thank you for the beautiful yard Scott.  I cannot wait for spring to see everything in bloom!"

Jim H.

"To have a worry free experience with someone you have never met before is rare, let's be honest. Well, Scott is a gem in the world of business. He's straightforward, fairly-priced, knowledgeable, and--a great strength-- an excellent communicator. We had a messy old landscape area in our backyard transformed by Scott Rief into a visual treat. Accountable..pleasant to work with..creative and passionate about his work..did what he promised he'd do from start to finish. Left our yard better than he found it in terms of cleanup. Gave us clear instructions on maintaining our new beautiful oasis. We are happy to recommend Scott. Thanks!"

Douglass D.

"Scott, from Scott's Landscaping, was very helpful from the beginning.  Scott was easy to communicate with and arrived at my house at the scheduled time.  He took his time looking over my yard and provided a thorough estimate.  I liked that Scott explained his design and the reason he selected particular plants for each area.  His enthusiasm for landscape design and plants is evident.  Scott provided a drawing of his design that allowed me to visualize his plan and ensure that it was to my liking.  Overall, the estimate experience was low pressure and gave me just what I wanted - a description of the services provided and a detailed estimate of the price.

After scheduling the service, Scott and his team completed their work in a timely and neat fashion.  His crew was courteous and careful of my property.  Scott worked along side his crew the entire time.  He may be the owner, but he's not afraid to get his hands dirty.  I appreciated this because I knew that being on site allowed him to oversee all work and ensure that it was done correctly.  Once all work was done, he provided instructions on how to care for the plants and ensure they last.

Overall, I am very pleased with the job that Scott's Landscaping performed and have already recommended them to friends and family.

Terri R.

"After years of dreaming of having a professional landscaper come to my house and do a design with suggestions of low maintenance plants, etc. this dream finally came true this summer. After reading ALL of Scott's Landscaping reviews on Angie's ListI made the call. We set up an appointment and he was here right on time. After telling him how little I knew about taking care of plants, the only thing I knew I wanted, werethings that would be very easy to care for. .He took pictures of my houseand told me he would draw up a design with different things and would also include pictures of the plants. Within a few days I received not only a wonderful design, but a very detailed price list with each plant, labor costs, pea gravel, etc. Nothing left out. After reviewing the drawing there were a few things I wanted to replace so I called and we went over those and he gave me pro's and con's for the replacements and also came up with other plants. After that he emailed me a new layout with the plants and again, included pictures of the new chosen plants. All I needed to do was print the invoice off and sign it and heasked if I had an IPhone orSmartphone and I replied yes,so he said I could sign the paperwork, take a copy and send it tohim. I had to laugh as I only have had myIPhone a week andwas still learning how to use it.He was more than kind to walk me through it.

Not only did Scott take the extra time with me going through everything, but, taught me something I didn't know how to do on my phone yet. Talk abouttimesaving for us both by doing it this way. Within 3 days, he came to my house and removed 23 year old shrubs and prepared the ground for the plants the next day.After he had everything in the spots where they were going, before he planted them he took the time to take a picture and sent it to me at work. I was so excited, I felt like a child on Christmas Eve as I could hardly wait to get home and see the total finish transformation of my house. As I pulled into my court I was totally amazed and excited.

Words cannot describe how pleased I am!!!!! Scott knew I was nervous as this was avery big deal for meas I do not have a green thumb. He went over everything with me on each plant and went as far as turning the water back on and showed me the strength I should have the water on, and exactly where to water each plant to make sure they are getting it properly.Much to my surprise my bill ended up being a little less than originally thought as he didn't use a couple of daylily plants as he did not want them to be overcrowded. So, I was very happy. As he was leaving, Scott told me he would email me with some helpful hints on each plant. Sure enough, within a few hours there was the email. Not only did he give me helpful hints on each, he guided me through the fall and winter months too!!!!!! It has certainly been a wonderful experience working with Scott and I HIGHLY recommend him, you will not be disappointed! He certainly goes the extra mile for his customers!"

Toini M.

"Had a small corner of my yard that was much overgrown and ugly, and he turned it into a very pretty place. He suggested shrubs and bushes that would attract birds and butterflies, which was important to me, but he was took my likes into consideration as to choices.

From the day he arrived to clear everything out so he could start from scratch until he finished the whole job on the second day, he worked very efficiently and quickly. And when he was all through and my ugly corner of the yard was now a pretty place for me, he cleaned up after himself and left the place in great condition."

Beverly R.

"My friend gave me Scott's number after I admired her landscaping. She raved about Scott's work and professionalism. My husband and I called Scott and ask for an estimate for removing the bushesfrom our front yard and replacing them with updated landscaping that required low maintenance. Scott was attentive to our needs and within two days provided us with a detailed drawing of his landscape design.

Scott's design incorporated all of the ideas that we had asked, especially the fact that the landscape planting be low-maintenance. The design was beautiful and colorful.Plus, the project was well within the budget we had planned. However, when our daughter became engaged, we decided to forgo a professional landscaper and save money by attempting to lanscape our lawn ourselves. I wish we could have hired Scott though!"

Beverly T.

"Scott's Landscaping is an excellent choice if you want a beautiful first impression of your home. Scott and his crew were friendly, honest, and professional. Scott is knowledgeable concerning the types of landscape that will work in the climate native to Kentucky and Indiana. He has an eye for how to balance the height, texture, and color of the shrubs and perennials."

Elizabeth G.

"Scott recently installed this row of privacy evergreens, they did a great job for an affordable price. Highly recommended."

David

"Scott had done a beautiful job on my front yard last year and I was very pleased with his friendly and polite attitude he showed, so I had him come out and landscape my backyard this year. Scott once again drew up a great plan and followed it through keeping constant communications with me. Scott is easy to work with and reliable, his prices are fair and his workers are professional and they treat your yard as if it was their own. They take pride in the job they do which is important. I would recommend Scott's Landscaping to anyone and everyone."

Karen B.

"Scott's removed old shrubs and replaced with 12 boxwoods. Planted Pachysandra in a new garden, Removed old vines and weeds and replaced with Pachysandra and other shrubs. Planted azelea by mailbox. Scott and his crew were prompt and hard working. He upgraded plants at no cost to us because he did not like the appearance of plants he quoted us. He explained his plans for each day of planting. He worked through the week-end to complete the job on time due to rain delays. I am extremely impressed with Scott's Landscaping. I have never seen a more diligent crew."

Jane C.

"Scott was very easy to work with and extremely patient with my frequent input on and questioning of his plant and tree choices. Once the final choices were made, the job was scheduled and completed in a reasonable amount of time. The additional work crew were both courteous and friendly, answering my frequent questions patiently. Everything went smoothly and the area now looks greatly improved."

J.K.

"The service was outstanding from start to finish. Scott personally came out and met with me to find out exactly what I was needing. He took photos of the property and marked bushes with tape as to not forget what needed to be done. Within a few days I had a drawing on paper of the new design layout, including the names of plants he would be using. He never made me feel silly for not knowing the names of plants/trees/bushes. He also listened very well to what I liked and did not like. He first gave me a total estimate for tear out and replacement. I decided to do the project in two phases given I was ready to proceed with tear out but wanted to wait until closer to fall for the planting process. He then came out a second time, given I had changed my mind on some details and wanted to do another walk thru with him. The tear out process took two days. Scott and a partner did the entire job and were both professional and timely. You can tell Scott is knowledgeable and takes pride in what he does. My husband and feel it could not have gone better and are looking forward to working with Scott on phase two of the project!"

John T.

"Contracted with Scott to tear out a row of five huge burning bush and two taxus on the side of our house. Scott and his partner pulled out the plants, disposed of the plant material, ground the stumps, planted a row of yellow knockout roses, mulched the area and cleaned up and left - all in just 3 1/2 hours. Roses have now come out of transplant shock and are sending out new green growth and lots of blooms. Very pleased with the work - so pleased we've told Scott we'd like to use him on a larger landscaping job this fall. Would recommend asking Scott for a quote on just about anything involving landscaping."

Judy S.

"Scott did a wonderful job and is GREAT to work with.   He's responsive, professional, and will provide what you want - not try to talk you into something else.   Unlike other companies, Scott does the design, gives you the estimate, AND is there when all the work is accomplished.   There's no risk that whatever you discuss upfront won't be communicated to the work crew.   (That's happened to us with other projects too many times.)   Tell Scott what you want, give him an idea of your budget, and you will be thrilled with the results."

Fran M.

"When I was firstwanted to hire a landscaper, I used Angies List to start my search. Scott's Landscaping was highly rated so I included them in my five estimates. Right from the start, the owner, Scott Rief, returned my call promptly and arranged a date for the estimate. When we met, he was very professional and listened to my concerns and what I wanted to have done. While I am by no means familiar with different plants, bushes, shrubs, or flowers, I had an idea of what I wanted to to. Scott drew up a detailed plan for my yard and had it mailed to me withing the week. Along with the plan was an itemized estimate as well as pictures of what each plant looked like. That was the most helpful part of the entire estimate as all the different options can be dizzying and it really helped me visualize what my yard would look like. It was the most professional proposal of them all and I was completely confident in hiring him.

He started and finished on time and was never a nuisance or in the way. There were some adjustments along the way and he was very accommodating in working with what I wanted to change.He even cleaned and added topsoil to my vegetable garden!When we met to finalize things, he wasvery good atsupplying details on pruning, watering, and upkeep.I even asked him to give me anestimate for a clean up for next year.

I can honestly say that I wish all small businesses were run as professionally.It was a pleasure to work with someone that did what they said they were going to do, when they said they would do it, and for the price that was agreed upon.While his price did not undercut anyone, it was well within the range of all the other estimates.

I feel that I have found a landscaper that I can trust and rely on for any projects that I may have, big or small and I would most definitely be calling him again for any landscaping needs that I may have."

Martin B.

"Scott dug out 12 large ornamental grass plants that we wanted to get rid of; ground down several stumps; prepared a large bed and a small bed for planting; planted 8 forsythia, two pine tress and 10 bushes in the new beds; trimmed the bushes in front of our house and mulched all 6 of the beds in the front of our house. After he finished, the front of our house looks great.

Scott and his crew did a great job. Theareas that he landscaped look great and we are very happy with his work. He also suggested several plants that we like better than the plants that we originally planned to plant in the beds. He has a good eye for what would look good in a landscape. We were very happy that we hired Scott and plan to hire him again for some additional work that we plan to do in the backyard next Fall."

Alex J.

"My wife and I want to redo our landscaping on front and side of house. After contacting Scott Rief, he came out and we spoke about what we wanted done (removal, brick aligning, new landscaping, and lighting). After taking measurements and some pictures for his reference, he came back to us a few days later with a very professional drawing showing the location of shrubs/plants/trees/lighting and the offical quote. We reviewed the plans and asked a lot of questions (maintanence & growth). We made adjustments based of feed back he gave us and the budget my wife and I wanted to stay in. After adjustments were made the quote was revised accordingly.

After planning, we worked through emails to show me his lighting hardware being used as well as scheduling the future work. Scott was very responsive with his feeback and extremely understanding/tolerant of my general questions.

We had planned for a 3 day turn around for this project. Scott and his teamcame out on day 1 to remove all current landscaping. He cam back on Day 2 toalign the brick and add landscaping/mulch. On day 3, he added the lighting.

Throughout the work, I only had to be at home for the lighting so he could run the wiring. Thankfully, Scott kept me up to date every day on what was done and what to expect moving forward. All went as planned and was wthin out budget we were expecting.

Out neighbors have been extremely pleased with his work and are glad we chose Scott's Landscaping!"
