Richtsmeier Landscaping provides quality work. No doubt that your product will look fantastic when finished, so long as Tom likes what is being done. He doesn't allow much room for adjustment, and if something requires extra work to adapt say a retaining wall to stairs or an arrangement of plants, expect a considerable amount of resistance and a long list of why you shouldn't make those changes.
Further more, Tom's attitude towards his employees is also notable. During a typical summer he'll go through 7-9 employees on a three-man crew. He doesn't fire them, they quit. This shows in his inability to retain employees year to year. His hissy fits and criticism often results in the homeowners and immediate neighbors slipping cash or grilling steaks for the employees after Tom has left the site as a sign of sympathy. Tom isn't a team player... he is an emotional control freak and shows no trust in his employees' work experience or knowledge.
Don't hire this service, choose one of the many other licensed contractors in the area. They offer impressive services and a great customer experience in the process.
