I started this project with a detailed drawing of what I wanted to accomplish. Up to this point the yard had been neglected for many years and was mostly weeds, barkdust, and dirt. I contacted the matches offered by Angie's List, and after discussing my needs and ideas, Fernando demonstrated that he had listened and understood what I was trying to accomplish. His company checked out for licensing and insurance, and had no complaints filed with the state licensing board. He offered a detailed contract for a reasonable cost, which I accepted. I enjoyed working with Fernando and his crew on my landscaping project. They worked hard and diligently without wasting time or resources, came prepared for the work of the day, were very detailed oriented, and took care to make sure the work was done right and well. My questions were answered and they took the time to explain why things were done as they were; I learned much about the whys and hows of what they were doing which showed they knew their craft well. Their knowledge and advise in selecting the best plants for each area was invaluable given my scant knowledge of living green things and their needs, and was greatly appreciated. Their explanation of the care and maintenance for these plants helped me understand how best to save the plants from my woeful ignorance and they're doing well. What I appreciated the most were the suggestions for additions or modifications to the design and materials of my initial design. These changes took my ideas and improved them; in the end the landscaping went from nice to popout outstanding. The yards, front and back, look just gorgeous. Neighbors and passersby have offered complements and made inquiries about Fernando's company. The project was done so well, that I have signed up for ongoing maintenance with the company. Good, solid, hardworking, and honest people for a fair price.
