Jackie is very talented in designing wonderful landscaping that offers year-round color and beauty; promotes honey bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds with a perfect blend of perennials and annuals; and works closely with us to make sure we are included in all of the design planning. We have worked with her for many years and couldn't be happier with our landscaping! She is top notch!

"[Member Name Removed] Such a beautiful review. My staff and I always look forward to coming to the property. It’s an eco-sanctuary of wildlife, and my staff has learned and seen many things that they otherwise wouldn’t experience in subdivision settings. Working with you and your husband is always a pleasant process to achieve your desired results. Thank you again for choosing Herbal Thymes & Gatherings to be your choice for your landscaping Thank you always, Jackie"

Jackie and her crew were wonderful. She listened carefully, thought through our needs, and gave us a detailed plan. All the planting was done within just a few days of our giving the go-ahead. It wasn’t an easy job! Jackie did everything she promised, and more. Happy to recommend her.

I have had Jackie / Herbal Thymes help me with my landscaping for a number of years. I have appreciated Jackie’s clear passion for the work she does and her expertise in suggesting the best plants to put in different areas so that they thrive and add interest to the landscape. She knows how to combine different plants so that there is color and contrast throughout the year. She has suggested both bigger projects and more modest adjustments I could make to improve my property, allowing me to decide based on my objectives at the time. She has done an excellent job on both Spring and Fall cleanups and touch ups in between. Most recently, she worked on my property as I was preparing to put my home up for sale. She did a wonderful job and I have received many positive comments about my beautiful landscaping from people viewing my home. Jackie and her team are a pleasure to work with!!! I highly recommend Jackie / Herbal Thymes to anyone who wants to work with great people to create a beautifully landscaped property.

Jackie is a master at designing a landscaped garden! She did the original landscaping for us 20 years ago, and this year we asked her for a comprehensive update. We wanted to keep many of the existing plants, but needed her to supplement them and improve their placement. She found beautiful shrubs and trees that add interest with color and height. She has always been available to answer questions about maintenance. She's a hard worker and aims to please. Bottom line - Jackie did exactly what we wanted and it looks beautiful!

"Thank you [Member Name Removed] for your kind review. It was truly a great evolution of the refresh. It was such a pleasure working with you and [Member Name Removed]. You have done a great job as well keeping everything maintained and subdividing your grasses to keep the impact in the landscape. It will be an exciting time in spring to see the new trees and shrubs in color. Enjoy Jackie"

Herbal Thymes did an amazing job with our landscape design after a major renovation of our house. Jackie came up with a great design that incorporated our wishes and recognized our budget. Her and her crew worked did a great job on the installation and answered all of our questions throughout the process. We've now taken to calling this 'Phase 1' and look forward to working with Herbal Thymes for Phase 2, Phase 3 across the rest of our property.

Jackie and her workers did a fantastic job on really hot days. Would have taken me years to do what they did in a few days. Looking forward to working with her next spring/summer.

We love the landscape design and the fabulous trees, plants and shrubs that were put in by Herbal Thymes. There is a remarkable change in leaf and bloom colors throughout the growing season. I never drive up to my house without appreciating how lovely the landscaping looks. They stood by their work and replaced several boxwoods that didn’t handle the first winter well. This spring, after I broke my wrist, the Herbal Thymes crew were kind enough to return to my place to pull the endless weeds, prune the trees, and spread two truckloads of mulch. I am SO grateful. Do I recommend Herbal Thymes? Highly!!

Jackie is a true artist. She has transformed our property into a beautiful, peaceful, aesthetic setting by adding color and texture throughout. We live on 3 acres and Jackie has created beautiful gardens to enjoy from every vantage point. Each more beautiful than the previous. Her crew is professional and extremely hard working. I would recommend 100%.

Overall we were very pleased with the work done, and the changes made will hopefully be lasting positive change. Quote Process - The initial visit was by far the most thorough we had, with a lot of effort made by Jackie (the owner) to visualize and then communicate the vision. It took a while for the quote process to get underway, and some of that probably had to do with the pandemic timing and how busy all landscapers were after resumption of activities in Michigan. Once it started, there was good engagement and a lot of good planning communication. Timing - While the quote process took a while as described, once the quote was issued, the lead time was very competitive, and the time to do the work was quick given the amount of work done. Communication - Overall, communication was very thorough and effective before, during, and after the job. Since we had time and cost overruns during the job, Jackie was good at summarizing the cost status every night or morning to let us know where things stood. Communication during the job could have been a little more frequent, but as the customer, I struggled with trying to manage the job while working from home, avoiding too much contact due to the coronavirus pandemic, and letting them do their jobs without micromanaging them. A few things might have been miscommunicated or misunderstood both ways, but the vast majority of the communication was good. Quality - The quality of work done was overall very good. Jackie made our property look much better with her vision, and the installations were done well. There was a fair amount of damage to the grass on our property to the grading and moisture level (it had rained the day before they were there), and while they did seed and smooth (which has since grown in well), there were some areas that they didn't see that could have used it and are still a bit damaged. Price - Hourly costs and plant costs seemed very reasonable and competitive. The overall cost of our job had significant overruns, but mainly because there were several unforeseen issues that had to be dealt with and likely could not have been known during the quote phase (all under the ground stuff you wouldn't find until you dig). Efforts were made during installation to minimize cost because of this, and a cost cap was set to avoid a massive overrun to be fair to us as the customer, which I thought was unique and customer-focused. Post-Installation Help - I reached out a few times after the job was completed to ask advice and Jackie was very helpful and thorough in her replies. I think this is something that a lot of landscapers don't care to do, and I think it should be celebrated that someone takes time to build a more lasting relationship instead of an "on to the next job" philosophy. I would definitely hire them for future jobs, even more so with the knowledge that jobs after coronavirus is under control would be easier to more freely communicate during the job.

"[Member Name Removed] I appreciate your thorough review covering all areas I do appreciate your patience in the quote process. Although sometimes it’s just inevitable we did our best to try to maintain the least amount of disturbance to the lawn with boards etc. Moving those huge rock added extra weight to the equipment and as you stated the ground was fairly wet from rain The staff and I thoroughly enjoyed the transformation and it was a great improvement to the property I hope you enjoy it long into the future Looking forward to doing any future projects with you thank you so much for the work it is greatly appreciated Jackie"
