terrible sorry that i call her she cancvelled one time she came over she because i paid the job.
Response from Solstice Gardens & Design Co.

"This client bought Big Deal Landscaping Design & Plan Coupon. I did miss our first appointment because earlier meetings ran late. I called to apologize and we rescheduled. I sent her the design within the time I specified and never heard anything. I just called to follow up and client states that design does not include evergreens -- which it does, specifically the ones she told me she likes --- and that I didn't include a price. I told her at first meeting that this is Design & Plan, if she liked the plan, then I could provide her with a price."

Joanne was prompt, professional and creative.  Her suggestions indicated that she was an effective listener and an imaginative gardner.  We haven't received her final 'plan' for our gardens, but her spontaneous ideas gave the committee several important things to consider.  She was clear about the aspects of our gardens that were attractive and thoughtful about the elements that we could change.  She was also sensitive to the budget constraints of our association.  
Not all landscape services want to work with condos because committee decision making can be so frustrating.  Joanne was open to this prospect.  Our condo landscaping committee will enthusiastically continue to work with Solstice Gardens to spiff up our curb appeal.

The deal was titled "Landscaping Evaluation and Plans. The business designs gardens. It would be helpful if the Deal Title matched what the company actually does!
Response from Solstice Gardens & Design Co.

"Our company designs gardens, landscapes, seating areas, patios, walkways, retaining walls -- everything for your outdoor area, specially suited to your property and personal style. I'm not really sure what this person thinks Landscaping means. We made an appointment after he bought the deal and before we met he decided it wasn't what he was looking for and got a refund. Read the deal description or call me before buying -- all the info was there. Our company name has the word Gardens in it, so of course we design gardens!"

Response from Solstice Gardens & Design Co.

"I went to the woman's home to give an estimate and she had unreal expectations of how much things cost. She wanted us to do some ivy removal and plant some vines, but didn't want us to install trellis for them to climb up. If we are to take on a job, we want to do it the right way. Not just do something that's no going to work. She responded to my quote with a long lists of yes and no, that she didn't want this or that. I felt this was a job that would not end well, that's why I didn't respond to her last correspondence."

We had purchased a big deal for the service.  The sketch was okay, it didn't blow me away. They did what they said they were going to do. I liked that they seemed to be very creative, and they would make it look really good, which is what I wanted. I would have liked a quicker turn around, but the owner was having a baby at the same time, and so I understand. I was happy with what they did. I decided not to implement the sketch yet, because we are not going into winter.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that we purchased. It went well. We used the big deal for the design but we didn't go further. It took a while longer to get the design back but it was still a reasonable time. It was 1 1/2 weeks or 2 weeks. It was basically exactly what we expected. Based on their estimate they were higher priced than what we would probably go for but we would consider them if we were going to do the work that they did the design for. We would also consider others.

It went well.  It was VERY hot the two days they did the work which may be why it took longer than first estimated.  Joanna was extremely pleasant and easy to work with. She also seemed to have a good understanding of plants and maintenance. She used some very interesting plants and flowers.  She was very responsive to my suggestions and change requests. Her crew was very nice too. I wasn't concerned about leaving them unsupervised (by me).

Solstice Gardens is much better than having some big landsccape company.  It's such a personal experience.  They are like a good interior artist that knows your style and doesn't redo everything with their style

They do excellent work. They were on time and their prices were very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anybody. They are very pleasant and easy to work with. They haul everything away and are very clean.
