Rice Landscape & Nursery

Rice Landscape did all the landscaping in the front and rear of my BF’s house. We wanted to go with a real licensed landscaper, not some schmuck driving by in a pick up asking, «you need any landscape done, my friend?» Those guys want money up front, so they can go «buy» materials for you job… who knows if they really come back? or show up to work for you once a week saying they have other jobs they are working on.
Rice landscape is a real licensed company with employees, trucks, even a big rig hauler double trailer. They come out with real surveying equipment to lay out your design, none of this wooden 2 X 4 and a bubble level, they do it right. No money up front, pay half when it’s half done and the balance at the end. We’re talking about a $ 40K job here … that ain’t going to some guy in a pick up!
My BF made it clear he didn’t want some guys showing up for work and then not coming for the next 3 days or something. Rob Rice assured him, they work straight through the job, no breaks except weekends till the job is done within realistic timelines. Rice kept all the schedules he set forth.
Rice Landscape did all the paver surfaces, sprinkler and drip systems, turf installation and all the big trees and shrubs, a rock wall in the rear and rock walls to match the house in front. Till this day the irrigation system has worked perfectly. The grass is still green and the plants all still alive except just one tree. Rice Landscape won’t be the cheapest around, but you pay for quality. He pays his workers more than the rest of the landscape companies, so he keeps the same staff and the workers know they get paid more so they do a good job to keep the better pay. Better effort on the workers means better job for the customer! If we need any more landscaping, we’ll call Rice landscape. They have a whole picture portfolio and reference if you need them. Rob Rice was easy to work with and helped out on the actual design and layout.
