Carol's design was pretty and will be low maintenance as requested. Carol has her own crew and who built a very large planter of pavers, installed a cedar fence, prepared the soil and planted the flowers and shrubs. Carol is easy to work with and we were able to go back and forth with her to make a few design changes. Pricing was reasonable, and the crew came back to fix a leaning plant with ten days of my request. This was the first time I used a professional landscaper and initially I was surprised at how small the plants were once installed. However, I am now pleasantly surprised at how quickly the plants are growing and filling in. I would recommend working with Carol over the winter so you can get to the front of the line and have the work done early in the summer if possible. We first contacted Carol in very late spring, signed in June, and the work was done in early August. The entire project took a week.

However, I soon after realized there was not enough gravel and requested more. No big deal. Carol agreed to bring more last fall but never did. In spite of my following the watering instructions carefully, several plants didn't come back at all this spring and many trees have large brown spots. One tree was planted on a complete angle and is growing pushed against the fence. Carol promised to come to my house to evaluate the problems on two different occasions and never came or called. I have texted her this week with no response. I paid 5 figures for a this job and am amazed that she refuses to follow up on customer concerns and dissatisfaction. I won't be using her again for the front of my house. Anyone know a responsible landscape design company? I

Okay, if you want professional, personal, creative gardening and landscaping, it doesn't get any…read morebetter than Gardens That Grow! I phoned Mary G and she promptly scheduled time to see my garden space, listen to what I wanted to do and how much I wanted to spend. I was under some pressure to get the work done by a deadline and Mary accommodated me by getting the estimate done in a day! It was structured in components of design, plants and labor so I could easily understand it and see where I was spending my money. My yard gets almost no sun and I can't grow flowers, so it had to be a green garden. I had the typical hostas, astilbes, helibores, and columbines before but Mary knew so many more interesting plants and had some very good ideas about how to design my space so it had variations in color and height and texture. She mixed shrubs and ground cover with exotics and bog plants, giving me a really exciting garden! I never knew that my boring back yard could have transformed like this! The best part was that she and her crew were so terrific! They worked quickly and efficiently and cleaned everything up beautifully before they left. Well, no I lied. The best part was how amazing Mary is! She knows all the Latin names of everything, how best to plant, how to prune and care for your garden, and is just a Sweetheart, too!

I fully expected that I would be writing a glowing review for Gardens that Grow. In mid March of…read morethis year, I contacted them by email, detailing the work that I was interested in (annual plantings, lawn care). Within a day Mary got back to me to set up a time to come by and talk. While she canceled the first appointment and was late to the second (which I thought nothing of at the time), we had a delightful discussion when she came by. We discussed significantly expanding the scope of work -- in phases -- to include setting up irrigation for veggie plants, switching out the soil in the veggie planters, and some great longer range projects that would involve more intricate landscaping. At the end of the visit, she told me she would send a proposal. The problem is she didn't. I would email her from time to time, and she would assure me she was working on it. I called her, I texted her, and each time she would assure me she was on it. I even sent her an email saying that it would be helpful to know if she wasn't interested in the project so that I could move on. I got a response to that email from her business manager, who assured me they would take care of it. Over a month passed....then about 2. I got the proposal and accepted it immediately and asked them to get started. They gave me dates, which came and went. There's no question that some of it was weather-related, but I don't believe that all of it was. Eventually, I lost faith. I had someone else come out and give me an estimate, and based on their word that they would get the work done, I sent a short email to GTG. No real apology, though they said they understood. I do believe that under different circumstances, it would have been possible for them to have done a great job. But the fact is that just didn't happen. The reason I'm writing this review is not to say you shouldn't use them. I hope it goes better for you than it did for me. But I do believe they did a very poor job of not delivering for two months, during which time I really didn't need to be begging a landscaper to come to my house so I could pay them to do what they said they would do.

I normally don't write reviews unless a company does an exceptionally poor job. My belief is…read moresimple, when you pay someone a good amount of your hard earned money, the job should be done right. There are exceptions, though, and Lisa is definitely one of them. Obviously, Lisa and her team did a fantastic job with the landscaping. She presented me with three different design options, worked with me to stay within my budget, and then executed the project exactly as she explained she would. She even moved my project up on the schedule after I mentioned I was planning to sell my house soon, which I really appreciated. What really stood out, though, wasn't just the quality of the work, it was the communication. It was clear, transparent, and consistent before, during, and even after the project. That level of professionalism is surprisingly rare in the home improvement industry. I own a house that was built in 1887, and over the past eight years I've hired countless companies for projects including a new deck, porch, fencing, painting, paver installation, and just about everything else you can think of. One of the most frustrating parts of working with companies in this industry is the lack of organization and communication. They're usually quick to collect the deposit, but after that you're left constantly following up for project start dates, updates, and progress. Working with Lisa was the complete opposite. She was organized, proactive, and always kept me informed. It was honestly refreshing. If you want to roll the dice and deal with the same frustrations I experienced with two other landscaping companies before finding Lisa, go for it. But if you'd rather save yourself the time, stress, and uncertainty, do yourself a favor and call Lisa. I couldn't recommend her more.

We set up a time and date to have the work done and they came out as scheduled on time, and got to work right away- ripped up what was left of my yard with weeds, the spread new soil and laid out new sod in a very reasonable time which I was very pleased with.
