This is an update 1 year after my original review to again praise the work and expediency of Faltz Team and in particular, Storm Faltz. When our project was completed last fall, some of the tall grasses we wanted were unavailable as it was late in the season. However, the Faltz Team had installed place-holder plants to be replaced the following spring. When I contacted Faltz, I was directed to Storm Faltz, son of the owner, Jamie Faltz. Storm was fully aware of the need to replace the place-holder plants and arranged to meet us to discuss and confirm what grasses we wanted and where they would be placed. Shortly after our meeting, a crew was dispatched along with Storm who coached us on plant locations and outlined the crew. Not only did they replace the place-holder plants, they planted several extra, types of grasses that significantly enhanced the overall appearance of our yard. Furthermore, Storm reminded us to call him if any of the new plants died or became distressed so they could again replace them! We again were extremely pleased with the professionalism, neatness and knowledge of the entire Faltz Team and highly recommend them as your landscape designers, installers and maintainers. Thanks Storm! Original Review: My wife and I solicited quotes from 3 other landscaping companies before settling on Faltz Landscaping. The 3 others met us at our home and listened to our ideas and took measurements of the areas to be landscaped. Within a week we received quotes from two of the other companies that simply parroted back our ideas without any design drawings or detail. The third company jerked us around for 3 additional weeks before telling us they were too busy and gave us a baseless and wildly expensive “estimate” for next year. In contrast, Josie Blumenthal from Faltz came to our house twice to sketch the area, take dimensions and develop our design ideas. On the 2nd trip she took aerial photos with a drone and prepared a concept design based upon our ideas. At our third meeting, Ben Brown, Faltz Landscape Architect, who was mentoring Josie, joined the Team and proposed some new design concepts that we liked a lot. We signed a contract and within a week the Faltz crew was on site. The 3-man crew were experienced, polite and professional. Most of the time while the work was in progress, either Josie, Ben or both were on site, assuring the work was in conformance with the plan. At the end of every workday, the crew cleaned our yard and driveway. Three days later the work was complete. The final product far exceeded our expectations, and we are very happy with the entire Faltz Team, especially Ben and Josie. We felt that Faltz provided a superior product and good value. We’d highly recommend Faltz for your landscape needs.
Just had two 5 ft Lilacs planted in our back yard. The crew was terrific. Made sure the best side was facing the direction we wanted. Placed them in exactly to best spots. Made sure they were planted well and watered and explained future care. They did a nice job of cleaning up (which seems to be rare these days) and they were very friendly and polite. I'm very, very happy! Mike Dyer
Don't assume, like I did, that the landscapers at Faltz know what they're doing. My yard had a twenty-five-year-old timber retaining wall that had reached its expected end of life. I planned to replace it with something more durable, like concrete blocks. A landscape architect from Faltz recommended a stacked stone wall, and I agreed. A month and thousands of dollars later I had a beautiful wall, for awhile. With each freeze thaw cycle the wall moved. Five years later it was clearly failing. When I contacted Faltz, the owner and the landscape architect looked at the wall and essentially said that failures occasionally occur. They speculated that adding drainage might help. Faltz didn't offer to repair it. I hired a civil/structural engineer to give an opinion. He cited several construction mistakes (for example, stones that are too small, lack of gravel below and behind the wall, absence of geotextile fabric, and absence of drainage tubing). I got estimates from other landscape contractors, and they cited many of the same design mistakes. Now I have to pay to have a five-year-old stacked stone wall removed, and pay to build a new wall.
I have dealt with Faltz the last two seasons. 2023 they planted four trees for us. Unfortunately, one of them did not survive our long winter, so they are going to replace it. The fruit trees that they planted last year are doing beautifully. Yesterday they started a backyard landscaping job for us. They finished in two days, and it is absolutely beautiful!
Having purchased a small tree for a new house asked the staff if they could plant 7 1gallon peonies for me. I said yes to the fee of $400as I am not a local resident and have no tools here. Seemed pretty steep to dig 7 one gallon holes but I needed the help. After planting I asked the two workers to spread 6 sacks of mulch around the 3 x 6 planter bed. They did. It took less than 10 minutes. I removed the trash to their truck as the mulch was spread. NO more than 10 minutes. Maybe even 5 minutes So I get a call that says the workers did more work than was expected and they wanted another $170 to cover extra work. $85/ hour for 2 men. I know prices are high everywhere. But this gouge is really just too much. Really? $170 for les than 10 minute? I will never shop here again. The greed is just too much
