Overall things went very well. Garden was discussed and planned and designed. We approved and work commenced immediately. GardenVizion worked with me as a team. I was able to do some parts of the plan to save money. GardenVizion did their part quickly and created the plan and executed within a two week time frame. That was remarkable in itself. Two months have elapsed and GardenVizion is still being responsible to provide guidance and assistance.
Description of Work: Requirements for design work for 3200 square feet: • Installation complete within 15 days. • Incorporate arborvitae. Include specimens of up to 5’ on your property and small, less expensive plants on county property. • Plants for the SE garden should be low maintenance and should include groundcover type sedum, and ornamental grasses. • Vinca will be used as a groundcover in the cleared area on county property. In addition to installation of plants identified in the landscape design, the scope of the installation work will include: • Removing sod that has grown within the bedline in the front garden at the SE corner of the property. • Modestly extending the bedline along the front porch. • Applying at least 2" of premium hardwood mulch to cleared area, and SE garden. All work was completed on tight time frame and within budget. Gardenvizion stands by their work. We had a decidedly hot summer and watering was maintained adquequately, but Gardenvizion did replace plants under warranty that did not make it through the heat.

It went very smoothly. Landscaper had 3 good-size red-leaved Janpanese maples in the ground within less than 3 hours. These were planted inside a garden, so care had to be taken not to disturb any already established plants. Also planted were three cordyline and the area mulched.The color of the cordyline blended nicely with color of tree leaves, giving a very nice affect. We were very pleased with work done in such an efficient manner.

I contacted gardenVizion (GV) in 2010 to do plan for backyard but ended up not doing the project. When I decided to do the front yard this year, I icontacted GV. GV contacted me immediately and we met soon afterwards. GV took pictures and asked questions on what I envisioned. GV submitted a preliminary plan soon after, which was nearly spot on. GV obtained quotes for the hardscape work and later acted as go-between which was wonderful because I work full time. GV also obtained paver samples and delivered them to house. After the handscape was installed, GV was back to finish what could be planted this Fall, and the rest will be planted next Spring. I couldn't be happier with the results. My neighbors love it too!
Description of Work: Created landscape/hardscape design plan. Contacted paving contractors to get estimates. Bought and installed plants

Jane came to my house within a few days of our initial call even while it was raining and we were walking around outside. Once she evaluated the general plan of the landscaping that was already here, we sat down to discuss what my goals/budget were. She then came back to the house to make a more complete inventory of the plantings that were here and to take measurements. She then sent me a proposed design, including pictures of each planting bed and included pictures of the new proposed plants. She used many of the plants that I already had and reorganized them for a theme and color scheme. She then met with myself and my landscaper to discuss the project. On the day of the planting she was there to make to process go smoothly. A few weeks after the plantings, Jane e-mailed me to check on the plants. She even stopped by to see why some were not doing well. Jane was easy to work with and I plan on working with her again next spring for a few more ideas. I feel that she taught me a lot during the process and kept me very involved in the process.
Description of Work: Jane helped me redesign the landscaping.

Jane was very punctual. She had few ideas. She did say to me honestly that she had more experience with flower garden than vegetable gardens. Her price was not as bad for what she was proposing. At the end we did it ourselves. I would use her service if I needed flower landscaping.
Description of Work: I asked Jane for estimate for 3, 7 by 5 foot raised beds. Fenced with chicken wire to prevent dog from entering.

It went extremely well, as each area of planting was fulfilled in a timely and professional manner. She uses various nurseries until she is satisfied with the quality and size of needed bushes and flowers..the right time for planting season-wise also seems important. We were very pleased with the work and professionalism and would definitely use gardenVizion again.
Description of Work: Plant groupings were chosen for 3 areas of the yard. The owner of the home asked for a daisy bed in an open area in front of evergreens surrounding patio. Jane then suggested pink hydrangeas as a backdrop between daisies and evergreens, giving a very nice affect of color. Needing some color on south side of house where did not want flowers, she selected a group of reddish bushes giving the desired effect we were looking for. They, as in the other plants she has chosen, were very hardy looking, and now growing very nicely. Jane is very particular in finding healthy, hardy plantings for all types of needs. Finally I needed a bed of flowers for a shady area directly in front of front patio. We chose impatience, as she said this type would tolerate much shade, and bloom all summer. She planted them and our immediate needs for landscaping were complete.

Originally, I was in search of a patio type seating area for my flower garden in the backyard. Through Angie's list, I found gardenVizion. Jane (the owner) came out, looked at the area and we both thoroughly talked about my vision for the back garden including how much I was able to spend on the project. She took my thoughts into consideration and came up with a plan that completely blew me away with a little walkway instead of a patio and some additional plants that had colors I loved. We talked about a mutual time frame. She came over, did the whole thing herself (with some of her hired help). It was (and still is) amazing! Sadly, one of the plants wasn't doing very well, and she came back to replace it with something else that we both talked about - no charge. Once the project was finished, she still continued to keep in touch through email asking how we liked it, how the plants were coming along, even offered advice about a plant question I had. She was absolutely wonderful. I would recommend Jane to everyone! What made it even better was that her price came in under budget! Yay!
Description of Work: Created a seating area in the garden by constructing a walkway with rock and flagstone. Planted perennials in the garden to enhance the existing plantings.

We began with Jane creating designs for us to choose what suited our taste, and when that was settled she started working and continued until she was finished and we were satisfied. She has a good sense of what will do well in shady and sunny areas, which was significant knowledge to have when working with our yard.The job went smoothly and we are very satisfied with the results, and even considering some additions.
Description of Work: A landscape design was created for a very plain yard that needed a significant uplift. We needed changes on east and west sides, and back of house. Jane started at the back of the yard where we wanted a large garden setting to put a seating area. She did most installation of plants herself and hired contractors for larger items. Plantings at back of yard consisted of boxwoods, a Japanese Maple, several hostas and others. It was a difficult area to work with because it receives very little sun due to large trees, so she had to plan for a shady environment. She put flagstone in a small area for the placement of a bench giving it a lovely touch. Mulch was added to area. Plants were also added directly behind house. Landscaping was done on the south side which included a blooming magnolia and a grass path around the side. On north 3 pines were installed, plus various plants in a bedded area.

I wanted to have a yard comprised entirely of native plants, arranged in an aesthetic fashion, with some appropriate hardscape. Jane started off by creating a couple of designs from which to choose. Jane's knowledge of native plants is impressive and complemented my own. Once the design was finalized, a formalized bidding process was undertaken to select an appropriate landscape contractor. The selected contractor did an excellent job of installing the designed hardscape and plant materials in a timely and professional manner.
Description of Work: Jane created a landscape design for my front and rear yards. She also supervised the selection of an appropriate contractor and monitored the work progress. Jane also did some of the plant installation. She also assisted in the selection and installation of an upscale fencing system for my rear yard.
