Hermes is very family oriented. Whenever I need to deal with family issues, the bosses have been understanding with adjusting my schedule to allow me to be there for my family. From the Big Boss to the lowest field laborer, everyone is nice and genuinely happy to see each other. I have brought several concerns to my supervisor and my concern is taken seriously and they work with me to find a solution.

They delay constantly. Granted our builder is their customer, so that could be some of the timing issue. Once they do show up, it is completely dependent on which crew you get. The crew that completed our drain did a great job. However, it turns out that our sprinkler system was leaking from the beginning. Also, lines were laid across property lines, discovered when we put in a fence. After 2 months of extremely high water bills, and documenting a visible leak, they investigated.
A month later, they admitted a line was punctured and actually repaired the issue. It's exhausting to be their customers. The quality manager tries but to no avail. They have serious communication issues. They don't listen to us, who have owned homes before with sprinkler systems. What do we know? It's normal to have water leaking downhill past 2 lots right? It's normal to grow mold by your mailbox? I don't understand how they stay in business.

We were very happy with Hermes Landscaping. They listened to what we wanted and worked with us to make our vision even better for our area. Great understanding of plants and hard scape! Three beds were put in as well as a retaining wall. Lovely. We are adding another bed and sod is being laid to complete the look. Never pushy. Very helpful.
