"Dear member, We thank you for taking the time to give us a review. We appreciate you for giving us the privilege and opportunity to work with you. Distinctive Landscaping."
"Dear Member, Thank you for your review and we’re sorry your experience wasn’t up to your expectations. In your initial contact you expressed concerns with the care of your garden by your existing service crew at the time to eventually hired us base on our reviews and that you tired of the mow blow/go. The initial work focused on an initial clean up to he the grounds up to-date. This follow with performing audits for both the landscaping and irrigation layouts and found several issues to the irrigation and provided you with a thorough report along with videos and photos documenting the findings. As for the mulch estimate you requested quoted 25 yards, so the material needed was substantial and took into consideration the scope of the work and the square footage of the area to complete the work. Unfortunately, it’s quite expensive running a legitimate business in California as we’re required to carry expensive insurances, pay for all appropriate taxes, payroll, etc. We believe we provided you with competitive rates on all the work you requested for your garden. On the other hand, we feel you decided to discontinue working with us because we couldn’t assist your sprinkler company and as we explained to you we were set on a schedule and instead suggested providing them with the irrigation report we had already provided you with several weeks prior. We thank you for the opportunity to working with you. Distinctive Landscaping"

There is buzz-blow-and-go. And then there is Ervin. Our historic home on a corner, which we have lovingly restored, offered its own opportunities and challenges, as we decided to landscape completely with native plantings on a drip irrigation system. Once everything was installed four years ago and had grown into maturity, we knew we needed weekly, knowledgeable care to avoid either the 'overgrown' or the 'whacked back' appearance, left by the monthly service provider. Enter soft-spoken Ervin and Distinctive Landscaping. From our initial conversation, walking our yards/gardens, we found him to be both deeply knowledgeable and an excellent listener, as we explained our frustrations with other services, our needs and wants. Subsequently, he provided a detailed proposal that included the initial assessment of each zone and plant (we have hundreds), as well as the irrigation system, and specific clean up requirements before we could proceed to necessary changes (removal, transplanting, replanting, etc.), necessitated by over planting and mixing plants of differing needs in the same zones.
This proposal was accompanied by detailed drawings of our house and yards with color coded zones, which become the basis for each week's work, captured in a detailed summary emailed to us, as well as for the planning sessions for the changes we are making. Watching him transform our yards each week over the past five months or so has been a sheer delight! Not only is Ervin expert in his knowledge, but he also has a real artist's eye and touch—so rare in today's landscape world. Ervin accomplishes more in 1 to 1 and 1/2 hours than the 2-3 person crews with all their noisy equipment did in four—partly because he is here every week and partly because he is just so much more efficient, skilled and—yes—caring. As a result, day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to-month, we have what we wanted: fragrant, woodsy grounds to enjoy that are always lovely, at their blossoming and foliage 'peak,' attracting a variety of birds (including hummingbirds) and butterflies (including the majestic Monarch). No wonder neighbors and others passing by stop regularly to express delight in and appreciation for such beauty.
What about cost? So very reasonable!! In fact, after watching him at work his first week, we quickly decided that he must be compensated at a higher rate than he had specified. Ervin is worth every dollar—and then some! Our only regret is that we did not find him sooner! So if you are looking for a skilled, knowledgeable, fair and professional artisan for your yards, your search is over.

"Dear member, Thank you for your review on our company. We are sorry to hear your experience with Distinctive Landscaping wasn't up to your expectations. We went back to our records and did confirm you hired us for the planting work back in February of 2015, however you never requested for fertilization, mulch installation or anything else other than the work on the planting per our written agreement. Unfortunately we assumed the roses could had underperformed a few years later due to poor maintenance and care and or over watering. We value your feedback, thank you. Distinctive Landscaping."

"Dear member - We thank you for your time and review on our company. It appears that was a confusion per our last phone conversation, as we requested your email address but we never heard back.

First, Ervin is extremely professional. Not just in performing his services, but in the manner in which he deals with you as a customer. He is prompt, courteous, and detailed. He is also honest. He quoted a price which included some work. However, due to circumstances outside his control he was unable to do the work. Rather than try to up-sell me for something that really did not have to be done, we agreed no need to perform the service and he did not charge me for it.
While the price might seem to be a bit on the high side, it is because he provides detailed professional work. I joined angie's list because trying to save money always ended up costing me more. This was service worth every dollar. I feel that I finally fixed the problems I had been having with my sprinkler system.

The sprinkler system is working great! I also got good information on drought tolerant plants. I will definitely use Distinctive Landscaping again.

"Dear member - We thank you and yours for your time and review on our company. We're sorry to hear a year later our price did not meet your budget. Looking back at your irrigation report, to name some of the major problems, there were several issues from in-ground leaks, loss of pressure on several sprinkler irrigation zones, and leaking valves which added to the majority of the budget for the work. If you would have informed us of your budget concerns at the time of completion of report we would have done our best to work within your budget. As a thank you please re-consider our services for a 20% off your next landscape work. We value your business! Distinctive Landscaping"
