The landscaper was Mark Bambach, and the installer was John Clark. Both Mark and John were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Mark was able to suggest plants that we were not familiar with, and advise us on how they would do in the sunny and shady areas of our lawn. John installed the plants very quickly and professionally. He was very careful of the other plants, and cleaned up after his work. John answered all of our questions about the care of the new plants, and was very helpful.
Description of Work: We had Benken come out and plant a number of plants and a tree. We had one of their landscapers, who was very knowledgeable about plants, come to our house and advise us on what sort of plants to use. Within a few days, the plants were available, and they sent a man out to plant them in the prescribed places.

THIS PROJECT WAS IN TWO PARTS: THE FIRST WAS MOVING SOME LARGE PLANTS, THE SECOND WAS DRAWING PLANS FOR LANDSCAPING OUR YARD. DUE TO MAJOR RENOVATION IN OUR FRONT YARD, WE HAD TO DIG UP AND RE-LOCATE SOME RATHER EXPENSIVE, ESTABLISHED PLANTS. SINCE WE LOVE BENKEN'S, WE CALLED AND ASKED IF THEY HAD ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR PROTECTING THE PLANTS BEFORE AND AFTER THE MOVE. THEY SENT A CREW TO DIG UP AND RELOCATE THESE RATHER LARGE PLANTS TO A SAFER AREA BEHIND OUR GARAGE. EVEN IN CALLING THEM SHORT NOTICE, THEY WERE AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE TO WORK WITH! THEIR CREW WAS PROFESSIONAL AND EFFICIENT, COMPLETING A JOB IN LESS THAN AN HOUR THAT WOULD HAVE TAKEN US ALL DAY. AND SINCE BENKEN'S IS DRAWING UP SOME LANDSCAPE BLUEPRINTS FOR US, THERE WAS NO CHARGE AT THE TIME OF SERVICE; THEY SIMPLY ROLLED THE CHARGES INTO OUR LANDSCAPE DESIGN. H.J. BENKEN'S IS ONE OF OUR FAVORITE GREENHOUSES BECAUSE OF THEIR WONDERFUL EMPLOYEES AND CUSTOMER SERVICE... AND THEY'VE BEEN RAISING THE BAR FOR OVER 60 YEARS!
Description of Work: CALLED BENKEN'S REGARDING HOME LANDSCAPE DESIGN AND MOVING SOME ESTABLISHED PLANTS DUE TO CONSTRUCTION.

LARRY STEIMLE WAS OUR LANDSCAPE DESIGNER. HE WAS PUNCTUAL, COURTEOUS, AND OBVIOUSLY HAD YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN THE FIELD. SINCE MUCH OF OUR GROWING AREAS ARE IN SHADE OR PARTIALLY SHADED AREAS, HE MADE A NUMBER OF HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS AND OPTIONS. HE WORKED WITH US TO DEVELOP A NEW LAYOUT AND HELPED US IDENTIFY WAYS TO RE-USE BUSHES/PLANTS IN OTHER LOCATIONS. WE WERE PLEASED WITH THE REASONABLE COST OF THE JOB. THE INSTALLATION CREW THAT WAS HEADED BY A MEMBER OF THE BENKEN FAMILY WAS JUST AS PROFESSIONAL AND EXPERIENCED. THE RESULTS LOOK GREAT. WHEN WE LOST A FEW PLANTS DUE TO THE DRY WEATHER, THEY STOOD BY THEIR GUARANTEE AND QUICKLY REPLACED THE LOST ITEMS.
Description of Work: REDESIGN OF LANDSCAPE IN THE FRONT AND REAR YARDS. INSTALLATION OF ALL NEW PLANTS AND TREES, MOVEMENT OF EXISTING BUSHES TO FIT INTO THE NEW LANDSCAPE DESIGN, INSTALLATION OF A NEW ROCK GARDEN AND DECORATIVE BOULDERS, & CREATION ON A CURB SIDE PLANTED ISLAND AND MULCH IN ALL AREAS.
