Her team showed up on time, did a beautiful job and left the place in perfect shape. She also had to coordinate with a less reliable arborist, and she did so with flexibility and good humor.

They also helped us to create a more enjoyable backyard on a budget with planters. John is very reliable, and his team is very efficient. They set up an irrigation system for both the front garden and the planters, since we knew that we couldn't rely on ourselves to manage the watering of the garden. John and his team were great with coming up with different ideas and also were able to collaborate with me on what I was interested in. I highly recommend Design by Plants!

I used a local tree service that cut down a big tree in my yard. Unknown to me, they left the stump…read more-- despite the scope of work including stump removal. When I tried to get them to come back and remove the stump they said their machine was broken. Never heard from them again. That's when I called Woody Woodpecker. Nino (I think) answered my call on a Saturday, asked me to send some pictures, quickly came back with a reasonable quote and showed up a few hours later. In just 90 minutes he removed the stump, looked for other areas where the stump might've reached and removed that too. Andy then he cleaned up everything. Woody will be my first call next time I need any tree work.

He also gave me really helpful tips for how to take care of plants we had (e.g., rosebush) and to not let it get so overrun in the future. Fantastic job, and thank you so much!

Specifically, Rich said his team would complete the job in 2 days, and they did just that. As to price, Rich gave me a quote and said there wouldn't be any hidden costs, etc., and the quoted price is exactly what we paid.

My boss - like most businesses- you have to invoice then a check is cut- this is normal. But NOT with this shoddy landscaper. Yes I am upset.

Johnny and his team just finished our backyard this morning and I can't say enough good things!…read more For starters, I reached out to them and found them to be responsive and available quickly. The initial consultation was thorough, and they prepared the quote quickly. The quote was detailed, it was easy to discuss/implement any changes - it felt like a truly cooperative process to come to a plan that we liked, was practical for our lifestyle, and within our budget. We were really looking for a company that could come in and take care of everything without the need to subcontract anything out, or organize additional vendors on our own and they fit that bill. They installed turf, removed 2 old rotting tree stumps, cleared out and replanted 2 areas of the garden, replaced a broken/rotting fence and set of steps, carted away any junk from the yard that didn't belong, and even repaired a hole in the cement left by the previous owners. The other thing that I really appreciated was that they listened when we said we wanted to keep things very low maintenance. Plants were chosen in a way that doesn't require us to fuss over them and allows us, our kid, and our dog to actually use the space without being worried about things getting ruined. During the work they required access through an apartment and were respectful of the space (and everyone's time), and left everything clean. The job took a touch longer than anyone initially expected, but that was caused by weather delays and a few extra items that came up as they were working. Communication about any changes was prompt, the additional work that came up was explained clearly, and I found any additional charges to be more than fair. We're so excited to get to use our garden and watch it grow as the weather improves, and I look forward to having Johnny and his team return for any regular maintenance. I'll try to remember to update this review with photos in the spring once things settle in and bloom.

We have been blown away by Johnny's professionalism, patience, and honesty throughout this process. From helping us select plants, to getting the appropriate certificate of insurance for our building, to coordinating timing for our project, Johnny was so responsive and pleasant to work with. He is very knowledgable and super transparent about everything. I didn't even both with getting other bids after speaking with him because I trusted that his pricing was fair and his work would be good, and it was all true. We can't wait until the plants start growing to create the calm within this concrete jungle we're in. Thank you to Johnny and his team for helping us with it!
