ESSENTIAL GARDENERS

They did a great job and the communication before and after was great.

A number of years ago we completely re-landscaped our front yard. Stefany was excellent in terms of the types of plants/flowers she recommended and created a garden in a way that I could never have done on my own. She made recommendations in terms of the best fruit trees (blueberries and fig) as well as flowers and ornamentals. To this day we're still enjoying the fruits of her labor!

The wonderful crew dug up the allium and seem to have eradicated it. Had to sacrifice a few herbs but they were able to save the ones that would be tough to save. Plus they weeded thoroughly, reduced the footprint of the bronze fennel, and added a terrific amount of mulch giving me a lovely raised bed. The work was done beautifully and the clean up was complete and professional. I cannot be happier with their work.

She was extremely knowledgeable.

They arrived. We talked. They went to work. Along the way we've added a very simple and inexpensive watering/drip system. They visit every 2-3 weeks. I couldn't be happier!

Very good service and good quality work.

Essential Gardeners is very good.

They do a good job. They are very reliable. They are not cheap but they are very knowledgeable about plants and such stuff. I like them. They charge based on time. They charge $40 per hour. They charge for their time and material. There was someone doing some work on the lawns. He did not work on gardens so he recommended them. They are very nice. They come when it is necessary. I rely on them to show up and do whatever is needed to care of my garden. I just got back from being out of town for about 3 weeks. She offered to water the plants when they were here so that my plants would not die. They get back to me with answers when I have questions. When I need some extra compost and stuff put down, they get the stuff and do that. I cannot do that myself. They take care of it when I need it to be done. I will highly recommend them. They are good. When I had a broken faucet, Stephanie the owner, had her husband come and see if he could fix it. It was not something he could do though. My garden is very small but it is nice. I need somebody who is knowledgeable about plants to take care of it. When I had a tree that was falling over, they recommended someone good to trim it. I trust them and I know they will refer me to good people. Earlier I had someone else come in once in a while. They did not know about plants and they pulled out some stuff that I was not happy about. These people seemed to know what they were doing. I asked a friend of mine who is in the business and she told me that it was the going rate. I think the price is average. They come when they need to. It is not like setting up an appointment. However, when they came the first time they showed up on time. Initially, they charged me to haul away the yard waste but now they don’t charge me. They are very flexible. I will use them in the future.

The price was comparable with other companies. They worked hard and they made the garden look natural. They seemed to be knowledgeable.

I have been using their services for over a year now. They have been great. They have a lot of plant knowledge. They show up when they say they will and they get the work done quickly. We have been really happy with their service.

We are satisfied with the services. We've been using them for a couple of years now at least. Based on other prices I see here I imagine theirs is about right. Our yard is small, only .11 acre and no lawn, just small-medium plantings and Japanese maples.

STEFANY, ONE OF THE OWNERS CAME AND GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE. I WAS VERY HAPPY THAT SHE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED DONE. SHE GAVE ME AN APPROXIMATE ESTIMATE FOR WHAT THE WORK WOULD COST. THE ACTUAL AMOUNT WOULD DEPEND ON AN HOURLY AMOUNT, DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH TIME IT TOOK. SHE BROUGHT THE GRAVEL FOR THE DOG KENNEL. A TEAM OF 5 CAME AND GOT TO WORK RIGHT AWAY. THEY WERE FAST AND METICULOUS IN THEIR WEEDING. A BEES NEST WAS FOUND IN SOME OF THE BUSHES AND STEFANY BOUGHT A NATURAL SPRAY TO KILL THE BEES. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FINISH THE WHOLE JOB AND THE NEXT WEEK, ONE PERSON CAME OUT TO FINISH. MY ONLY PROBLEM WAS THAT THE OWNER GAVE ME THE BILL, BUT COULDN'T GIVE ME SPECIFICS FOR HOW ALL THE HOURS ADDED UP. I TOLD HER WHAT I CALCULATED AND SHE AGREED TO ADJUST THE BILL. SHE TOLD ME THAT PART OF THE BILL INCLUDED TRAVEL TIME. WHEN SHE GAVE ME THE ESTIMATE SHE DIDN'T TELL ME THAT TRAVEL TIME WOULD BE INCLUDED. GOOD OVERALL JOB. I RECOMMEND GETTING A SPECIFIC ESTIMATE.
