Modern Scapes and Hydroseeding

Sep 2021

I cannot recommend Modern Scapes highly enough! My wife and I decided the pandemic was a good time to do some major work on our backyard, which had been neglected since we moved in six years ago; it lacked shape and had drainage problems. We had seen a sign for Modern Scapes about a year prior, outside a house nearby, which had installed a new fence that looked far better than most do in our neighborhood--modern, striking, and clearly well-built. We called the number we had written down from the sign to make an appointment for an estimate. We met Joe, the business owner, and mmediately knew we were in excellent hands. He listened to our concerns and ideas, offered his own valuable insight, and together we made a plan, first for a new wood fence to define the back edge of the backyard along with a new drainage system, and then eventually to install a bluestone patio with a wood pergola. Every aspect of both projects was an absolute pleasure. Joe was clear about the dates he and his team would be working, and then kept to those dates (one of the projects even finished ahead of time). The pricing process was easy and clear, and Joe was wonderful to work with, personable and professional at every turn. But what's most notable are the results, which are spectacular. Joe is a perfectionist, and his attention to detail is apparent in all aspects of his work. He listened to all of our ideas--even our less clear ones--and found elegant ways to implement them. We ended up with a fence and a patio/pergola that people stop to compliment, all the time. As one of our friends said, after seeing the completed fence, "You just don't get a fence like that in Binghamton"--meaning that beautiful and well made. With Joe, you do!

Joe and his crew did a an excellent job of removing and replacing an old wood pool fence. Although project was delayed due to complications with the covid virus, Joe kept us well informed and up to date, and always responded quickly to our questions.

Fantastic! All projects were done in a quick and timely manner. A year later and the yard has been nice, solid, and mud-free. For the driveway drain Joe held off, waiting for a few heavy rains then came up to view what was happening. The area outside the garage had been turning into an ice skating rink. Now with a side and cross-driveway drain/drywell the icing has significantly gone down. We do have need for more projects and will be using them, was so happy with the results and personal care there is no need to look elsewhere.
