She comes every 2 weeks. She's very knowledgeable and she actually made our yard looks so much better than we ever had. She knows the plants; she knows how to take care of them and how to cut. She's great to work with.
Description of Work: CPF Horticultural Services provided me a landscaping service and I had them for a monthly maintenance. She put a fertilizer to my plants.

Kate has done service twice and she is GREAT. Yard looks great. Some plants had to have a pretty severe trimming to get back to growing patterns that are healthy for them. Kate was honest about how severely they had to be trimmed and they are already coming back well. She also made a great suggestion about moving large golden bell cacti from side seldom used yard to more visible parts of yard...Looks great
Description of Work: With only 2 weeks notice the landscaping company I had used for 16 years stopped doing work in my area. After calling Kate she came out within 2 days. Our yard is desert landscaping but many plants are 25 years old and are in need of some new trimming styles. Kate was very honest about what needed to be done in our yard that would be best for the plants. She gave a very complete estimate. I think I liked her immediately as unfortunately during her first tour of our yard she found a poor cat that had been killed and we were not aware was in our yard. Kate worked diligently to post info about the cat on web sites deaing with lost animals. I believe that through this the owner was able to have closure and know their cat had become an angel. I was very impressed with her knowledge, style and compassion

I found CPF on Angies List, but from the beginning CPF seemed unorganized and was difficult to pin down, and near impossible to get additional services aside from regular maintenance. Even the regularly scheduled maintenance service was not performed as scheduled and a month would be skipped. We agreed to every other month service due to my small yard, but apparently due to her busy schedule she did not provide services as scheduled or agreed upon.. I wanted some additional plantings, trellis installed, a couple of shade trees, which we discussed since my beginning service with CPF last summer which she agreed to do. Eventually I was given a variety of excuses and none of that was ever done. At the last minute last week I was given a window of one morning to install a tree following my having had surgery so this last minute notice did not work as I was not able to respond in her time frame. I was told end of April would be the next available opportunity. I have been asking for the date of my next service and I just received an email that she has taken on additional clients and will no longer handle my property. So again, she has reneged on providing the service we had agreed to and my yard will go unserviced again this month.
Description of Work: Basic maintenance for home landscape. Had also asked for additional landscape services

Response from CPF HORTICULTURAL SERVICES
This was an 'as needed' account, and as such, was to be worked in around my regular clients. A business decision was made to no longer do this type of account, in favor of focusing only on regular maintenance accounts. This account was not the only one I resigned from, but it is the only one where my resignation was reprehensible enough to punish. I find it interesting that this review was not made while working for this client, but the very same day (April 6, 2014) I sent the following resignation e-mail: [I never received a response to the e-mail, and only today became aware of the negative review.] "Hi (Member name removed), I have reworked the schedule and am actually going to have to stop doing all 'as needed' properties in favor of regular, minimal, once a month properties. One of the guys who works with me on a regular basis is asking for (some) of the accounts. To that end, I'm giving him names in the order I took the properties, with property owner permission. If he gets through the list and still has room for more, do you want me to give him your contact information? Kate". Show of hands out there: How many of you have had a landscaper quit without notice? How many of your resigning landscapers not only gave notice, but also offered a potential replacement? As it worked out, my employee ended up taking all of my as needed accounts. I followed up with my ex-clients and there was not one complaint about the transition. Indeed, some already knew the guy. Me, not so happy - my second best weekend guy had to quit working for me to keep up with his new clients. I still haven't been able to replace him!

At my request, Kate made a special visit to repair and improve my drip system. Turns out some of my plants were not receiving the right amount of water. She also planted two plants that I had requested from her recommendation list. I was pleased that she purchased them wholesale and the amount I paid was much less than if I had purchased from a nursery. Kate seems very knowledgable about irrigation, desert planting, landscape design and maintenance. I also like that she bills me for services and keeps to a regular schedule so I always know when she is coming. I am very pleased so far. While Kate was trimming dead matter from a Boxwood, she discovered a nest of quail eggs...and the Mama quail inside. It was so much fun to see the babies hatch a few weeks later. I never would have known if she hadn't discovered them.
Description of Work: Lawn and landscape maintenance provided as well as a list and description of recommended future plantings and landscape improvement. Plus made recommendations for improving efficiency of drip system. Prior to performing services, I was presented with a detailed proposal.

She's excellent. Compared to other gardeners I've had come to my house she's about $20 cheaper and twice as good. She doesn't bald my bushes and that's why I like her so much. She trims them and I couldn't recommend anyone else because the ones previous to her have been very bad. They bald the bushes, charged $80, and weren't half as good. She gave me a great deal and she's honest. She told me that she usually doesn't come in February because there really isn't that much to do. She also told me that she felt guilty taking the money, but my husband wanted her to come in February. That really shows her character and the sort of person she is.
Description of Work: Kate of CPF Horticultural Services comes once a month to take care of my shrubs, trim the trees that she can reach, and yard work and landscaping.

She is the onl person that I will allow to handle my property going forward.
Description of Work: Kate is one of the most knowlegeable people that I have met. She has proper college education to support her work and it is obvious that she does this because she loves it rather than it being just a job. She is inexpensive, works hard and never tries to sell you services that you don't need. In fact, I was ready to hire her for bi weekly service on my property and it was Kate who told me that I don't need service that often until the Spring when the plants will begin to grow again. Had she not been honest and forthright, I could have spent hundreds of dollars needlessly to have my dormant plants " cared for". I highly recommend Kate for her honesty, dedication, and intimate knowlege of all of the plants in my yard (including things that I plan to put into my yard), she has a way of seeing the finished picture that is exactly what I needed.

Kate has been taking care of our yard maintenance for about a year. We bought a foreclosure home that had been empty for more than a year. The landscaping had been without water all that time. Some plants had died and others were stressed. Both the landscaped areas and the natural desert area of the property had alto of non-native weeds. Kate provided us with a realistic timeline for removing dead the plants and weeds. She gave great suggestions for replacement plants. We were so pleased with the clean up that we have continued to use Kate for our monthly maintenance.

Very well, Kate coordinated with me via phone and email since I was out of town during both sets of work. She continues to keep me up to date on how the yard looks. She also helped out my friend and neighbor with an irrigation problem while working at our house. She did so well that I recommended to my parents and they are very pleased with her efforts too.
Description of Work: Provided an estimate to cleanup the yard and start regular maintenance. Performed the first service to cleanup the bushes. Did require installation of an irrigation clock, gave several options and Installed the option I chose.

Description of Work: Kate came in to spray the lawn for weeds that sprung up after our winter rains and we have continued to work with her for our overall landscaping and lawn care needs.

Job went great overall. Pro's: She does a fantastic job and shows up on time. Con's: None
Description of Work: Kate trimmed a huge mesquite tree in our front yard that was overgrown and needed thinned out. She did a fantastic job. We haven't had to trim the tree since, except for some of the low hanging branches, due to her ability to trim the inside of the tree and not just the outside and bottom like other landscapers we have hired do. I really think it has been three years (not two as I indicated above) since she trimmed our tree and I need to call her back before monsoon season to make sure our tree is in tip top shape. We have lived here for 17 years and honestly, I have never had a landscaper trim trees as well as she does. Our prior landscaper had to trim our tree every 6 months and only trimmed the bottom and didn't thing too much of the interior so the tree could breath. Kate doesn't over-cut the trees (like I have seen some do to our neighbor's trees and make them look dead) -- she does the most perfect job. I found her on Angie's List and will only use her for our landscaping needs.

She and her crew worked efficiently when they came to trim the trees, and everything looked so much better afterwards! My view was opened up while shade was left. The rocky swale is lovely and really adds to my front yard's appearance. She checked out the irrigation system and fixed leaks in it (I had bought the house last fall and some hiccups were found.) Kate is imaginative, helpful, and considerate; she was honest about the wisdom of trying to kill Bermuda in October (not its prime growth period) and explained that some could come back which would require further chemical use. She has been accessible for questions in between visits. Also, she is very fair in her prices. I look forward to working with her for many years to come as my little yard increases its attraction for hummingbirds, etc as well as beauty and functionality for me. I appreciated her ideas for use of the backyard space too, as I'm now talking with hardscape people for my next phase. :-)
Description of Work: There have been several parts to this work so far: killing my Bermuda lawn on the way to renovating my backyard into desert landscaping, pruning wild mesquite trees, and creating a rocky swale with rip-raping the front yard, plus ongoing maintenance. Kate was prompt, courteous, and friendly when I first met with her to discuss my overall dreams for my yard. She recommended accomplishing things in stages since some hardscape work would need to be done -- enlarging my patio, building a barbecue, planting beds, etc. We agreed on using only native Arizona plants as this develops.

Needed a very last minute job due to a funeral and after explaining my situation, they made time to get my work done. Apparently they were done for the day because everyone showed up in separate cars. I was a little worried that they would be disorganized, but after a huddle on the street when everyone arrived, they went at it and never stopped until they were done. This meant working in the car headlights for the front yard since it got dark. They brought the flowers themselves and didn't charge for them. Very respectful due to the circumstances, and the people seemed to go the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. I may consider converting my landscape to desert to continue doing business with them since they usually don't do tropical landscapes. They came through for me and my family and considering the work that needed to be done, and how last minute my request was, I don't think they charged enough.
