Spring 2010 | Ciminelli’s Customer Testimonials

Spring 2010

Dear Matt,

We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and recognize what a beautiful job Ciminelli’s Landscape Services did in transforming our back yard this spring. From your patience with us in developing the plan, to the professional way your crew conducted themselves, and the stone mason artistry and craftsmanship in installing the pavers – we are just simply thrilled the way it turned out. My wife and I have never used our back yard more, much to the delight of our friends and neighbors who are also astounded with the outcome.

It was equally a thrill to see our house showcased in the Annapolis newspaper in a featured article on “House metamorphosis “.  What a treat!

This project was a big deal for us- we did a lot of research in selecting the right company to contract with.

From beginning to end, your company validated our decision. We could not be happier and would be glad to recommend your services to anyone.

With much appreciation,
Cris & PJ Cunningham

MATT CIMINELLI GIVES PRESENTATION ON BIOSWALES

Matt Ciminelli, owner of Ciminelli’s Landscape Services gave a talk on Bioswales at Riverbend Nursery in Virginia on August 19th. Over 40 people were in attendance to learn how to incorporate bioswales, rain gardens, green roofs and storm water management into construction and landscape plans. Bio-Swales are landscape elements designed to remove silt and pollution from surface runoff water. They consist of a swaled drainage course with gently sloped sides (less than six percent) and filled with vegetation, compost and/or riprap. The water’s flow path, along with the wide and shallow ditch, is designed to maximize the time water spends in the swale, which aids the trapping of pollutants and silt. Benefits include reduced peak water flows, allows plants time to absorb pollutants, improves regional hydrology, reduces suspended solids, silt, metals, macronutrients, pesticides, and reduces water temperature entering waterways.
