Solinsky Gardens

I hired Will and his team to put down some weed barrier & bark chips, plant some hedges, trim two trees and fix a sprinkler issue. Will’s team worked fast and completed their job in one day. There was still an issue with the sprinkler that I called Will about. He came out the next day and fixed it. Would definitely use Solinsky again!

Had this guy come out and do measurements and an estimate. He did not call back and when my spouse called him, he said he was selling his business.
Indeed, our back yard poses some challenges but how about being up-​front about it? You lie you are selling your business?
How about being honest and say you’re not qualified or it’s too much of a challenge for you? Pitiful man.
I was watching Unilocal for reviews or a note it’s «closed» and, well, you know the rest.

I called Solinsky Gardens to have them install English Cherry Laurels in our brand new back yard for we were moving in a couple weeks. Will came to our house a couple weeks ago and was very helpful and came to our back yard and an $ 2,300 for 16 trees but Will said these are 9 feet and mature and even sent a picture and the other ones I were looking at were 4 feet so it was nice to have an ready mature tree to be planted to start giving us privacy so I said go ahead. Morning of our move I received a call from my wife asking me what size they were supposed to be, I said 9 feet and she said these were 6 feet. Not only;y were they 6 feet tall they were only full for 2 – 3 feet mature, they looked like popsicles, their was just a tree stump then the tree grew starting at 3 feet up to 6 feet. This was NOT what I ordered and paid $ 2,300 for! I called Will and asked him why the trees did not match the picture we were shown, he said something about a shortage and these came from SO Cal and this was the best he could get. I told him this was unacceptable and wanted a reduction in price, he said he couldn’t do that and it was best for them to just pull the job completely instead of coming back. I will not be recommending Soliksky Gardens to anyone.

I can’t review the work of Solinsky Gardens because they have yet to return my phone calls. With the 5 star reviews they have I expect them to be busy but, I’ve literally tried to speak to someone or something other than the voicemail for more than 3 months. Maybe the work is good but, I’d at least expect a call or text to say no.

At first I thought that five stars was a bit much. Everyone seemed to rave about Will and his team but five stars isn’t enough I would give him a ten star rating and in fact I will. When I emailed Will responded back quickly. He have us an estimate within 24 hours and followed up with us.
Will and his people did all of the work that needed to be done within 5 days. He worked with us and told us what was happening every step of the way from the steps he installed to the plants and then drainage on the side of the house that wasn’t working properly (the other landscaper made promises and never even attempted to fix them) Will ‘s prices were reasonable. He didn’t ask us what our budget was he gave us prices line item by line item. If we wanted to cross something off to make it work within our budget we could do that. I recommend Solinsky Gardens to everyone that comments about our landscape project. They are great.
My only regret is that I wish I had called them before I hired someone else to do the backyard.

What can I say about Will and his crew that hasn’t already been said. They have been, without a doubt, the best landscaping people we have encountered. We found that everything noted in the previous reviews was right on and If you sign on with Will, I am certain you will agree also.

Will and his team were awesome! They responded to my initial phone calls, visited us twice to help us decide on our landscaping needs, and immediately went to work and completed our job in one day. I would highly recommend them.

Will & his team redid the landscaping in front of our house, and we’re really happy with both the process & the results.
We had several challenging aspects to our project — a peculiar grade at the end of our yard, an antique irrigation system, and a really limited budget. Will knew where to invest (a couple of semi-​mature trees to give nice results the first year) and where to proceed with caution (very old galvanized pipe). He also took the time to make sure details were correct — when he couldn’t find plants that would work for our space at his usual nurseries, he gladly made trips to additional nurseries, texting us pictures of each plant until we found ones we liked. The edging of the plant beds was particularly important to us so the design would be low-​maintenance, and he made a few extra trips to our house to ensure it was just right.
His team is great too. Everyone was very professional, polite, and seemed to really know what they were doing.

We recently had Will and his crew re-​do our entire yard including drainage and add a concrete sidewalk. I cannot be happier with the results. Will had great ideas on what to do to make the yard look less cluttered and was both practical and economical in his suggestions. His bid for the work was not the lowest, but it included items that I did not even request — and they were great ideas! Also, Will and his crew were polite and cleaned everything up — they were done in less than a week and no mess was left.
I would highly suggest considering Will Solinsky if you are doing any landscaping — and, unless you have a definite plan in mind, just tell Will your budget and goals and let him design something — he has great ideas — and he really knows plants!

I would highly recommend Will Solinsky and his crew. He came to my house to complete a landscaping project that my former landscaper didnt finish up due to illness. He provided an estimate and told me when they could come to do the work. Each time I emailed him with even the slightest change in the plan, he immediately responded with a revised invoice. He and his crew arrived exactly on the day promised and did a great job of planting and mulching in my yard. His crew was so responsive to all last minute changes I wanted to make while they were there. They even offered to move plants that had already been installed when I changed my mind and then they even went back to the nursery to get additional items for me. They worked and worked until they had everything finished up. After the installation was complete, Will came back to do a walk through and when I asked yet again for some additional items, he came back the very next day to finish things up. I couldnt be happier with how things turned out. But most of all, I am so impressed with how responsive Will was to what I wanted and how willing he was to modify his plan on the fly to obtain just the look I wanted. I would recommend him to anyone that has a landscaping project. He was a pleasure to work with.

I contacted Solinsky Gardens after reading the reviews on Unilocal and Angie’s list. Within minutes of emailing, Will Solinsky called me to make an appointment. My work schedule is fairly rigid but Will was able to accommodate me. We did a walk through of the property and I did my best to describe my needs. Will seemed to get what I needed even thought I’m a total landscape novice and haven’t a clue about plants.
After getting two other bids I went with Solinsky not because they were the cheapest (the bid was in the same ball park, but not the lowest of the three) but because he was the only bid to quote me for the work we discussed. The other two bidders seemed to miss the concept.
Will’s team showed up two days after I accepted their bid. It seemed a little fast to me, but Will assured me that they would not rush me through the project and would work with me the entire way. To accommodate my work schedule, Will met me every morning at 7am to go over the work for the day. He did a good job communicating with me and every evening he would email with updates and questions about the plant selection and hard-​scape choices. I made several changes to the scope of the project and they implemented them without fuss. We had a few hiccups during the projects but Will was very responsive to my concerns and made sure I was happy.
I love my new yard, front and back. The landscaping project I thought would take me six months of weekends to do was finished in 5 days by Solinsky.

Will Solinsky runs a very professional operation. He listens, understands the goal, works within a budget and engaged a great company for the concrete work. I particularly appreciate his attention to detail, and the clear and detailed bid/​contract. We could not be more pleased with both design and execution. He and his team are excellent. They left the place very clean. Top quality work.

Want to be the envy of your neighbors? Done. Just call Will and his crew over and they’ll take care of it for you. We couldn’t be more impressed with the entire process. Will and his team transformed our blah front yard into a colorful and unique landscape. Although we had some idea of the plants we liked, WIll took us to the nursery where he suggested and showed us plants and combinations that we would have never imagined. He also has a great eye for placement and really took the time to arrange the plants and trees in an artistic and visually interesting manner. All of this was possible even on the limited budget we had allocated for the project. The price was reasonable, the attention to detail was exceptional and they were just plain awesome and fun to work with.

I cannot say enough good things about Will Solinsky and his crew.
They did what they said they would do and did it on time. Early even.
Will is definitely excited about his business and dedicated.
We had a problem with ponding — Will was out here immediately and repaired the problem (leaky valve). We had two other small issues several months after completion — He had his crew out here immediately. I was expecting to wait a few days. !00% recommendation for Will and Solinsky Gardens.

Will Solinsky and his crew are dedicated, talented, honest and funny guys. They have performed hard-​scape and complete landscaping of our front and back yards, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. And, the customer services is outstanding. With plants, you never know if a problem will develop or if the plant will or will not work out. Will stands by his work and resolves problems professionally and fairly. A very hard working guy.

If I could give out more Unilocal stars I would. I’ve had 3 houses including a complete Victorian remodel so I’ve dealt with lots of contractors. Solinsky Gardens is in my top 5. These guys are everything you look for in a contractor. They get back to you promptly, explain the process, charge a fair price and do outstanding work. Our yards are already landscaped but we needed our main backyard drain line replaced. The original corrugated drain pipe collapsed after 10 years so we hired them to replace it. They took great care to preserve the lawn they had to cut through and put everything back. They even power-​washed the walkways and cut in some extra riser pipes so we could monitor the function of the new line and access it in the future if it gets blocked. You owe it to yourself to get a bid from Solinsky if you’re considering any lawn/​garden work.

Fantastic! We bought a house that had not been occupied in over a year and the backyard had not been tended to in any way in all of that time. In 2 days, they turned my abandoned field of a backyard into something nice. We had them clear it out, level/​grade, add sprinklers, drip system, drains, sod, bender board and bark. It looks great and everyone there was very nice to work with. Will gave us an itemized estimate and we got a very reasonable price. They finished on budget. I am just so happy with the whole experience and the lovely yard we now have. I would definitely use this company again.

Shortly after the excitement of moving into our new home wore off, we realized we needed to tackle the backyard. After not receiving call backs from several local landscaping businesses, I was given Will’s information. He came out within a day, and gave me a competitive bid. He itemized all costs, and explained every step of the process that he, and his crew would do to finish the job. After two days we had the luscious green lawn that we desired. Crew members, Dale and Kyle round out Will’s crew. All were professional and knew their craft. I highly recommend Solinsky Gardens for your next landscaping project.
