Steven:
When we started talking in early summer, we had no idea that we would end up with the MOST BEAUTIFUL PARK for a yard!
Because of the scope of the job, we interviewed several landscapers. You were upfront and honest from our first meeting. One of the most important things to us was that you returned our calls and answered our questions within hours. We appreciated your willingness to meet with us any time during the entire process.
Glendon, the designer you suggested, was very professional and worked with us to develop a wonderful plan. We loved the morning we spent at the nursery with both of you sorting out plants, trees, likes and dislikes. It made so much sense and seemed so efficient in covering “the big picture”!
You gave us a time line starting the first or second week of August and that is exactly when you started. You said you would finish up the end of September or the first week of October and you took the last of the machinery away on October 6th. Considering the size of our yard and the extent of the removal of trees, lava rock and cement, irrigation replacement, water feature addition, hardscape, trees, shrubs, ground cover, lawn and lighting, it is amazing to us that you could call the shots that closely on budget and on time!
As far as your crew is concerned, we are still talking about it. There were anywhere from six to eight guys working in our yard every day, all day. They were professional in appearance (the company shirts looked great), courteous with us and our neighbors at all times and cleaned up every day. They even cleaned up the mess our next door neighbor’s yard guys left in the street!
Manuel, your foreman, is a wonder! He would stop working to explain and walk us through every detail of anything we wanted to know along the way. He gave us his cell phone number and said to call any time. He picked out some of the most beautiful rocks and boulders we’ve ever seen and made sure they were placed just so! The stone work on the pathways and patios is breathtaking and through all the weeks of heat and hard work, these guys sang and whistled and seemed to enjoy their jobs! How refreshing!
We look forward to a relationship with you in the maintenance of our beautiful new yard and would be happy for you to show it to anyone who is interested in seeing your work.
They saying goes, “you get what you pay for”. Not only did we get what we paid for, we got more than we could have hoped for in the beauty of our yard and the caliber of the work during the project.
Thank you so much!!
Sincerely,
Cheryl Ruppert
