WOW! Aimee, Lori and staff just finished a multi-faceted project in our backyard, side yard and front yard. The natural stone water feature is absolutely amazing and quite unique! True professionalism from the planning stages all the way through to end of project. They had some challenges due to the recent weather here in McKinney - all were handled with precision and timing in mind. We could not be more pleased with the final product. Jump in line, you will not be disappointed - in fact you will be blown away!
We bought our house a few months ago and took ownership of a backyard that was never cared for. Weeds, ailing shrubs, uneven slope, drainage issues - all the good stuff :) We wanted to get a full-fledged back yard makeover. We got the designs using Yardzen.com. We then started getting quotes from landscapers.
We spoke to 10 landscaping companies and got quotes from six of them. Most of these followed a similar pattern. They would come in - take a look at the designs, do a quick site walkover and quip an estimate the next day. There were all "yes men" - no suggestions or changes to the design. When we spoke to Aimee from Hypermotion Landscaping, she was different right off the bat. She glanced at the Yardzen design for about 15 seconds. She said the designs might be beautiful but are definitely not practical.The patio was placed on the far right off the yard which hardly got any breeze. The tree placement was not ideal based on the slope off the yard. Some of the plants were placed in a spot where they would get burnt with excess sunlight. Moreover, Aimee found some foundational issues which had happened due to soil erosion over the years.
Aimee gave us an estimate which was about 12-15% more than the others. The difference was that her quote handled all the foundational issues of the house and she was using flag stone rather than cheap pavers. Moreover, Aimee owns a nursery and her knowledge of plants is second to none. Here's a small little caveat - Aimee is a bit old school and not very structured. She only corresponds using concise emails and not texts. There are no auto-cad designs or breakdown of the estimate. We had to take a leap of faith and we are so glad that we did.
Aimee and her crew spent two weeks on our project. They were right on time everyday. Aimee got our feedback at every step and incorporated our requests. As the work started, they found some issues with the sprinkler system. Aimee got everything done in the same initial quote. She also helped us get the HOA off our backs by taking care of our front yard (added plants and mulch) without any additional cost.
Aimee has our highest recommendation. You won't regret working with her! Thank you for the awesome work, Aimee.
