Great. Leslie Booker and her sub-contractors were all terrific -- friendly, reliable, hard working. Leslie was a creative and fun collaborator during the entire process, from design to installation, which lasted several months but was fully completed during fall, 2013. The results are a beautiful and unique patio courtyard garden that is great for relaxation, puttering and entertaining and that greatly enhances the value and enjoyment of our property. It wasn't cheap but we love it!
Description of Work
Designed and installed patio courtyard garden, trees and shrubs, plus decorative landscaping at driveway entrance. Work included removing part of sidewalk (concrete slabs moved and used in back yard) and installing brick masonry patio in basketweave pattern. Remaining sidewalk was tied in by cutting walk and inserting decorative brick insets. Courtyard enclosed with cedar fencing with arbor gate featuring Booker designed twig sculpture. Garden enhanced by large original twig sculpture trellis. Work included installation of low-voltage lighting and irrigation.

Prompt response to our request for advice and pricing. Leslie Booker does a lot of work in our immediate neighborhood, so we felt comfortable choosing her firm over the other two considered for this work. She worked with us on what plants to choose for the different areas. She seems to have an encyclopedic knowledge of plants which is very helpful to us as we are not from this area. She arrived on time with her two workers, and all three worked hard for two solid days doing the work. At the end of each day, the area was left clean and tidy, and the work was done without blaring radios or a lot of shouting. The end result is very pleasing and up to our expectations. There was some damage to a driveway light (the driveway is winding and steep and not easy to negotiate), but this was propmptly acknowledged and replaced within a week with an apology
Description of Work
Weeded and generally cleaned up our yard; recommended and installed plantings to replace ones installed by another firm that were very prone to deer damage; recommended and installed additional plantings to provide interest and screening requested; started remediation of the lawn areas; mulched all the planting beds.

I heard about Leslie and called her about a year ago and was delighted with the work. I call her whenever I need a new area planted, or have a question about existing plantings. Her firm is punctual, professional and polite. They clean up afterwards! I expect to use them again and again.
Description of Work
I love this firm! Leslie has worked in our garden for about a year on various projects. She has personally taught me how to prune and how to sharpen my tools (I asked about those items). They have suggested plants, built and planted beds, mulched, cleared the garden of leaves and given good advice on creating and maintaining the garden.

A less creative landscaping service had left our yard looking scraggy and blah. We started over with a plan created by Ms. Booker. It has been implemented and maintained over several years. She also solved a water drainage problem with a well-constructed stone system, as well as an attractive retaining wall. A yard is never finished, and we continue to use Booker Garden design to do the on-going work. For example, after a harsh winter a few plants had died, but Ms. Booker replaced them with heartier specimens. Her staff blows leaves, trims shrubs, etc. Ms. Booker is always response to requests and forthcoming with information on plants and yard design. Booker Garden Design is not the cheapest service around, but our yard is much better for their efforts. We are pleased with quality of their work
Description of Work
Planted replacements for winter-killed plants, weeded, trimmed trees and shrubs. Had also designed and created lovely yard and water drainage system.

She was very knowledgeable. We got some other estimates too and felt that she was kind of expensive. We just wished her price had been lower because we liked her a lot.
Description of Work

Leslie Brooker arrived promptly at the agreed time. The job was to improve the appearance of the exposed end of a drainage culvert in the front lawn. Leslie felt that it was a job for a stone mason and gave me the business card of the mason they she uses. Ultimately I found away to solve the problem myself with a minimum of masonary work. I walked around our yard with Leslie and discussed other future projects. She made some suggestions with no commitment on my part or hers.

The yard on the 3-year old house was a mess. We wanted "natural" (but not untamed). The first landscaper merely plunked some of the plants in mulch, so we watched as they heaved out of the ground. Trees were dry as result of insufficient soil prep. Every hard rain meant a cover of mulch and dirt on our long, sloping driveway. Brooker to the rescue. First came a large stone drainage system, then low retaining walls (incredibly well-done). Then a plan that took into account our tastes, a preference for native or well-aclimated plants, and dear resistance. It's been three years and the yard looks great. We add something each year, sometimes make a change, but Leslie stands in back of her work. Bonus: Her crew are some of the nicest and careful folk around. Same can be said the owner! We are happy with healthy shrubs, spreading ground cover,booming perentials, and some bright annuals -- all Booker's doing. Wish we had more specific ideas of our own as it would have sped up the design process. And remember, there are things deer don't like very much, but if the critters are hungry, they will eat anything unsprayed.
Description of Work
Booker Garden Design started from a pathetic and ailing selection of inappropriate and/or dying plants surrounding our house. Thank's to Leslie's knowledge of both botany (what will flourish here) and design, our lawn-free yard is now lush and relatively low maintenance. Actually, Booker does our maintenance too. Hardscaping (maining drainage and retaining walls) work is first-class and has held up for three years with no problems. Not the cheapest company, but great work.

My front and back yard were sorry. Weedy, vole-ridden, dry dirt patches. A few desultory shrubs. Leslie and her crew transformed both spaces in 3.5 days. I've never seen people work so hard. In the front they tilled, added topsoil and fertilizer, planted shrubs, grasses, and perennials, and mulched. They dug up and replanted some things that were in the wrong place (viburnum and iris). In the back, they graded my lumpy dirt patch, added topsoil and fertilizer, raked in gravel to deter the voles, laid down sod and made three large planting beds with shrubs and perennials. Even though hardly anything is blooming yet, the improvement is enormous. I can't wait for spring!
