"Thank you [member name removed]. I'm glad that you are happy with the results. Enjoy!"
I felt for $1600 she should have provided additional information that I requested. To be fair, she delivered her design. But I would not recommend her if you need to work with someone who is responsive and flexible. So, I will not use her again or recommend her to others.
"Hi [member name removed], Thank you for your feedback. Since you hired two designers, I think you might have some of your information confused with the other company you worked with. My flexibility: You asked me for a color rendering of your plan. This is not part of my regular service but I provided it anyway. You asked to waive your revision if you could get instead: more detailed plant list “in alphabetical order, with pictures and the information that you have for the other plants” including if if provided food (berries) or nectar (birds). Again not part of my service but I provide you with a 42 page report that had tons of information. When you appeared to be unsatisfied with the report, I even offered you a free revision!!! Price: $1300 I delivered everything in my package and more! I am not sure why the C rating? I hope your other designer had better luck meeting your needs. Best wishes to you on your project."
actually more than one-day but only one day of face time. Julie
interviewed us over the phone about what we were looking for in a
design, assigned us some homework to find landscapes that spoke to us
online or in magazines (so we could show her). When she arrived, we
toured the property and she verified our measurements and then she had
lots more questions for us that made us think harder about what we
wanted out of the space and what our future plans for it might hold.
She asked questions and made suggestions regarding aspects we had never
even considered. By the time she left we had a printable file with
dimensions, plant suggestions, a list of reccommended nurseries and
hardscapers. We were able to follow her plans and continued to learn
from them. Her specific suggestions within varietal families were
spot on. We had trouble finding a few so substituted and later went
back and found the ones she suggested because they worked much better
for our space. Since she worked with us she's kept us on her mailing
list which is about bi-monthly and gives tips and ideas that have
allowed us to relandscape a second space with much more ease and
confidence. I got the impression that Julie would be fantastic for
bigger jobs where she would oversee the whole process. However, for
the DIY folks who want to do something, but aren't exactly sure where to
start, go straight to Julie, and go before you start work. If I'd
talked to Julie in the spring she would have saved me days of labor and a
lot of money in showing me how to sheet mulch instead of ripping up
sod.
I also appreciated that after the initial design of the front yard was completed, we changed our mind about part of the concept. Julie came out and made changes based on our concerns at no additional charge. She also came out again to help with the placing of the plants.
We are so pleased with the plant selection and highly recommend Julie's service.
We're very happy with Julie's work, and the final product that was produced from it.
"It was a pleasure working with you. Please let me know once you have obtained your three bids and we can review them together to see if they are truly 'apples to apples' comparisons. Once you have selected your contractor, I am looking forward to working with you during the installation to help with the plant layout and any design questions that may arise during the process."
