Susan and her team always do a great job. I schedule her twice a year in the Spring and Fall. This Spring, she trimmed up all the bushes, mulched the beds and planted flowers in two pots. I sent her a list of things that needed to be done, and she emailed the estimate and confirmed the date. Everything went well.

Susan Bell provided a $100 consultation on a landscaping design for my small piece of property.  She was informed and responsive to my requests for a "low maintenance" landscaping solution and came back with a reasonable plan and attractive design. The consultation fee was applied to a one-day garden clean-up, much needed.  She also referred me to and worked with a very competent carpenter, Paul Edry, to build a set of garden stairs with railing, overseeing the work that was done.  She was pleasant and professional throughout, has a great deal of knowledge about plants and their care, fair in her pricing and responsive to all my questions.  I feel very confident in recommending her work to others and look forward to calling on her again to help with future maintenance.

Landscaping work was done very well as usual. to correct drainage around garage was done very well. Concrete work Near garage was good, not great. Concrete splatters on garage exterior. One small crack has appeared, but that may be part of the natural process. I have noticed that with other neighbor concrete work.
