Providers Response to My Review of them: We do not have any contact request from this individual in our records. It is unfortunate and malicious for someone to give an "F" rating to someone they have not met or had any work performed. Our customers have consistently given us an A rating on every review where we have performed work for them. My Response: I am not being malicious as you say. I rated you on professionalism and responsiveness nothing more; both deserve an F rating. I did call as I said to have someone come out for an estimate. Perhaps your staff is not reliable when it comes to taking messages...not very professional in my opinion. I did not get a phone call from anyone to come out to my home, therefore, a lack of responsiveness. I did not rate your work or price because no one ever to called me to come out to provide and estimate. Also, not very professional to call a reviewer malicious when they have rated you on only the items that apply in the situation. Malicious would be if I had given you an F rating for everything, including work and price, when you did not do any work for me and I do not know what the price would have been. Based on your response, I would never even consider giving you a second chance.
Description of Work: Modify existing flower beds with new border, weed block, and stone.

Luckily she did not show up the day she said she would. I then went to a different provider and received the same amount of work 30% cheaper. I almost made a big mistake but her not showing up saved me.
Description of Work: Provided cost estimate of $1500 and what wood be done as far as putting down wood chips.

Response from The Personal Gardener, Inc
We have never provided an estimate or had any conversation with Mr. [member name removed]. I am certain he must have us confused with another contractor.

I called to have someone come out and give me an estimate for the landscaping I wanted done. I was told that the person that would do this was out of town and would call me the following week to set up an appointment. No one ever called me back.

We did not have contact with this person. There is someone using our company name illegally and we have initiated legal proceedings to stop her.

Pat's workers were very nice and hard working. It's almost impossible to totally satisfy a gardener who is picky, but Pat's crew did a good job.

We did not do work for you. We have no employees named Pat. I think this is part of the group impersonating our organization and using our name illegally

It was a little difficult to reach her initially, as she is very busy. However, she came out when she promised and gave a very fair quote. The work was done on time and exceptionally well. They were so fast that I had them do a little extra that I had not planned. Her crew was quick, professional and very nice. They double checked with me to ensure I was happy before they left.
Description of Work: I love working with Dawn. She does a great job, her pricing is fair and she is very nice. Every member of her crew is excellent. Great workers, very nice, very professional. Only thing is sometimes she is difficult to reach because she is so busy. I will call her every time I need landscape work.
