I encourage readers to look at the before and after pictures attached--I don't think I wound up the "dream garden" but rather the "nightmare scenario."
I am working to correct this at this point.
I am willing to discuss the details of my disappointment--phone 805 558 2295.
Thanks--Lew
"I worked with the member for close to one year to develop his design and select the materials and plants and give him a budget. Once the design was finished he hired his own workers to install the design. Before I was contacted the work had already begun. They did not kill the original lawn but just ripped it out and it continues to grow back. The member also did not want to spend the extra $1500 to replace the 20+ year old irrigation system. Which once turned on had major problems, broken pipes, very low pressure and hence very poor coverage. I worked with his crew over several months to remedy the problem and finally get the plants some water. I then returned at once or twice a month for several months to make sure the plans were doing well and the irrigation was timed correctly. I did replace several plants which died due to the poor irrigation system. Everything was fine for a while. However no one could anticipate the damage which would be caused by the family of rabbits & deer constantly eating his new planting in his unfenced yard. Nor could any once anticipate the damage from the leaf miner worm on the citrus trees. This is not fatale but only damages the new leafs on young trees. I continued to work with the member to help him and advise him on the watering, rabbit/deer infestation and the leaf miner but he was never satisfied. I even go by all of my past clients landscapes to review the work and maturity and maintenance. I will then contact them to advise them on how the landscape is progressing. I have always been and will continue to be very open and helpful to all my. Please contact me with any questions."
