We have had bad experiences with two previous people who were reportedly landscape experts.  We were very disappointed with their knowledge of plants and work performed.  Richard, on the other hand, repeatedly returned our emails and phone calls promptly.  His landscape plan was exactly what we wanted--beautiful low maintenance plants that do well.  He coordinated a visit with his landscape contractor, met with him at the house and submitted a bid that was extremely reasonable.  We would recommend him without reservation.

Richard seemed to be very competent.  We didn't communicate very well at first, but it was mutual, not totally his fault.  In the end, things worked out OK.  Be sure you are very clear about what you want, and ask questions.  He is honest and well-intentioned, very knowledgeable.

Rick toured our whole yard, front and back last March 2011 and this March 2012.  I pointed out areas of concern and he made suggestions and options for those areas.  He sketched out ideas for different areas of our yard. The consultation took about one hour. We planted specific plants and followed his recommendations in different parts of our yard last spring.  We have his recommendations from his consultation this spring, but have not yet implemented any of his suggestions, but plan to do so with
 warmer weather.

Provided a lot of valuable information for the time and money spent; Evaluated the landscape and provided recommendations about how to properly care for current landscape specimens and also about future plantings;  Would recommend planning for 2 hours if have a larger yard

Very professional. Punctual. Did exactly as stated. Very knowledgeable and professional. Only decided not to use him because we went with landscaper who also did organic plantings.

We have no complaints about this company at all. Their work has been great. Their price was fine, and their quality is good to. We would use them again in the future.

Absolutely great. My highest praise is that he listened to what we wanted and then successfully converted our non-expert opinions into a cohesive plan. Very knowledgeable about not only what looks great, but also what species and even varieties do well in the local area.
