Bully of a secretary / time management issues / no follow-up, no pricing sent by e-mail as she claimed to have sent / no phone call as she claimed she did / owner was 45 min late for an appointment I didn't want due to surgery two weeks after consultation. we were set to spend thousands of dollars! No one ever called to say he would be late. and no apology from either of them. Totally unprofessional.

The staff at Action are friendly and responsive, and the team that came to our house was did great work, and were efficient and respectful of our property and the fact that we were working from home. They cleaned up and made our yard look so well-cared for! They mulched around our plants as they were emerging and did a great job edging the beds that needed some better definition. Highly recommend!

I contacted Action Landscaping to provide sodding and some decorative work around my new home. I depended on Action for design suggestions and they came through with a wonderful design and also a considerable amount of sod was laid. After my initial contact, Tom was out here promptly and drew up a design with a quote in a timely matter. Tim was out here with his crew getting the job done - the entire process from start to finish was a great experience and I am very happy with the level of quality.
