Mr. Hellen and his "partner" Mr. Eldomer (Independent contractor)did not complete our project which included the improper installation of below surface electrical and water supply conduits. My Helen failed to adhere to the commitments made via communications via e-mail, text messages and verbal correspondence. According to Mr. Helen site drawings are only a visual representation and nothing more. Mr. Helen uses the legal process to walk away from your project and fails to provide materials which were contracted for. Everything is a change order presented to the customer the day the work is to commence; everything is left to the "partner" and his family members who isn’t provided the proper site plan. Mr. Helen will rush to get to the job site and then leave the job site leaving multiple items unfinished incorrectly install or missing. We had to go to court but his attorney would not allow us to present receipts and documentation of work that was either not completed or done improperly for which we had to paid third party contractors to complete. Mr. Helen’s testimony was inaccurate in court and contrary to the communications which were not permitted, he even lied in court stating that I called his firm about the project, when in fact I had contacted his “partner”. Mr. Helen Failed to get HOA approvals; failed to follow code standards, failed to use a scale on site plans and failed to address any issues raised and the "partner and subcontractor are left with an outdated dated drawing and plans and had to take pictures to get approval to complete work which was contracted for and not completed because he didn’t have the tools. They even failed to provide or install two (2) column caps, (1) mailbox cap, an electrical transformer and associated low voltage wiring they even broke our cast iron bench and did not replace it.
Description of Work: Requested of a hardscape project to be completed.

Thank you for your review. As you can see from our other online reviews, we make it a point to be known for customer service and outstanding workmanship. We apologize that your experience with our company did not match your expectations. Since we set such an exceptionally high standard, it is worthwhile to address some of the issues raised in your review. In July of 2022 we built a beautiful 2000 sq ft backyard patio for you at your home in Laurel, Maryland. I worked personally with you on the design and layout features for this project for over five months. During this process, we did our best to accommodate your numerous requests, but I apologize for being unable to help with a few. No, we cannot back-date our insurance certificate to ‘help you out with an insurance audit problem.’ To clarify, it is not that we are un-insured or under-insured (we are 100% properly insured) it is just that I was not willing to alter legal documents for you. We were also unable/unwilling to help when you asked us to take a substantial deposit check, then write a ‘payment’ from that deposit to some unidentified third party that you owed money to. Both of your requests seem unethical if not illegal. You are correct. We did have to sue you for non-payment, after you chose to not allow us on your property to finish up the few punch list items you are showing in the photos. Trying to use those items to get out of paying for the job almost worked. Thankfully, since we adhered to every specification, local code and ordinance, and followed every detail in the contract (including the site plans) we were awarded judgement for non-payment/ breach of contract. You are the first customer we have even had to ‘take to [Member Information Removed]’ and very hopefully the last. The only ‘scam’ here is a customer who doesn’t want to pay for a beautifully installed job when it is finished.

Very unsatisfactory, in fact I would say a rip-off. A complete waste of $49 for a hand-drawn sketch my kids could have drawn.
Description of Work: Paid $49 for Angies List coupon for "landscaping eval and plan". For that kind of money, thought I would get a detailed plan to scale, maybe something sophisticated from a CAD system. Instead I got a hand drawn sketch that one of my kids could have drawn. If you want to waste your money on these guys go right ahead, I won't.

Response from Three Little Birds Hardscape & Landscape
Thanks for the constructive comments. The deal you purchased was specifically for a personal evaluation of your property along with a hand drawn site sketch. The deal specifically stated there is no CAD design involved. I spent over two hours with you discussing plant care, tips for repairing your patio, and ideas for your pool surround. It is unfortunate that your expectations were not met, however following our meeting I emailed and called you several times to follow up on the information I provided. You never indicated any type of dis-satisfaction regarding our interaction, and I would have been more than happy to further assist you at that time. If you would like, feel free to contact our office and I would be happy to provide you with a more detailed design.

bad; a free hand was submitted with very little details, no specifics, extremely disappointed, was a "special deal" for a "landscaping plan"; our impression was something to scale, maybe in color, with details of our property with the proposed plants, walls, etc. portrayed; what was submitted was a simple sketch drawn in pen on a piece of notebook paper, my 5 year old kid could have drawn it better, total ripoff

Started with lots of problems with scheduling. First evening I waited for them to arrive at 6:30pm and they were a no-show. Several apologies from them from miscommunication that the person assigned transferred it to another person since they were closer and that person had car trouble and a dead phone so nobody could get in touch and find out where they were. They rescheduled for a few weeks later when I was available and no-showed again. At that point, I expressed my displeasure but was still willing to give them another chance. They offered to refund me the price of the deal and still do the design to try and keep my business. More miscommunication as they said they would refund me and I needed to wait for it to process which later turned into they couldn't refund me and I had to get it done directly through Angie's List. Luckily I did do that and promptly received my refund. Finally, they did show up for the design consultation which turned out to be nothing more than a free estimate I could have received from any landscaper. The design was literally just hand drawn lines indicating measurements of various areas followed with an estimate of around $25k for the work. I saw no value in this offer and am at least glad I didn't pay for it in the end but I still wasted a few hours of my time waiting for various appointments. I expect a 'design' worth several hundred dollars would provide more than what I can sketch in 60 seconds by myself.
Description of Work: purchased the offer for a consultation and design of yard landscaping (supposedly valued at several hundred dollars).

Response from Three Little Birds Hardscape & Landscape
[Member Name Removed], As I tried to explain several times, the initial site sketch is simply that - a sketch. We had a number of variables to discuss before providing a more detailed design, which we offered several times to do. I personally did your consultation, and apologized profusely for the vehicle difficulty on the first appointment, but things do happen. I spent over two hours with you and your wife, discussing every aspect of your property in detail. We discussed how to care and maintain for dozens of plants, and I provided you with numerous suggestions as to how to improve the property. I apologize that you do not feel that the service was worth it. We attempted several times to provide you with detailed installation plans, but you refused to answer emails or calls.

They finally came out and we paid for a 2 hour evaluation. He did not seem knowledgeable and he did not spend 2 hours with us. When he finally contacted us he only had different plans with pricing instead of a specific plan for us. I was not satisfied with this provider.

Response from Three Little Birds Hardscape & Landscape
I appreciate the honest response. As soon as I arrived, you and your husband said you were moving soon and were not interested in adding anything to the property or spending money on landscaping (why book an estimate in the first place?) The focus of the meeting seemed to be four laurel bushes that were in the front beds of the home, and your concern over how they were not 'to scale.' You both lamented the fact that, after fifteen years and much fertilization and grooming, they just 'didn't look right.' They don't look right because you were trying to contain hedges that are supposed to be 15+ feet into a three ft area. I would have been more than happy to lend my expertise, however without a clear direction I was really unable to provide suggestions. Your husband was upset that I didn't provide a diagram or site sketch, but he was unable to tell me what he wanted a diagram of. I am sorry that I was unable to help, and wish you luck in the future.

The gentleman that came out was great. Answered questions, gave suggestions. I was optimistic. He said he'd get a proposal to me with everything broken out so I could choose/prioritize the work and said it would take him about a week. Several weeks passed and I called the office. Woman was very nice said she'd contact the 2 guys that it could have been and have them call me. I never heard from anyone. Never got the proposal. It's early Fall and I should be having work done now. I'm disappointed that I didn't get the info I needed to have the work done in this time frame and that I didn't hear back even after I contacted them to follow up. Gave them overall an 'F;, because, regardless of how 'nice' he was during the evaluation he came out for, without follow up, it was a waste of time and money. N/A (changed from F's) for the rest because the work (submitting the proposal to me, calling me back) was not done.

Greg was easy to work with and very knowledgable about the work that was needed for our yard.
Description of Work: Greg arrived exactly when promised and gathered our ideas and challenges with our current landscaping. He suggested several solutions and took some measurements of our yard. He then followed up a couple of days later (quicker then I expected) with pricing details and options for improving some areas of our yard.

We provide very limited services west of I83. I realize that we are in the same county, but our range is limited due materials hauling constraints. Unfortunately you are well outside that range. The cost of your purchase can easily be refunded through Angie's list.

It didn't. Responded right away...and DECLINED by email to deliver. So I called, he said the "streets are too narrow" can't .."accommodate our trucks. " This is for a consultation on design...NOT for tree removal or planting or any of that. In fact, the tree removal took place already...and those folks managed to get their trucks on this (truthfully) narrow street. I think its more that they are cherry picking neighborhoods. He told me he didn't want to be argumentative..and to go get my refund. I told him look at the map again...I was his zip code neighbor. We left it at that. I'm out $49 until I figure out how to get a refund.

As much as I would have loved to accommodate you, we simply don't service your area. I commented that even if we had we may not be able to access your road. We service a very limited area in order to provide our clients with superior service. In order to provide that type of service, we are limited to the areas we work in.
