We were extremely pleased with the work Michael and his crew performed, which encompassed replacing…read morea retaining wall and installing a walkway of paver stones for our home. Michael was exceptionally thorough, thoughtful, and above all honest every step of the way. Also, we never felt pressured -- there was no push to upsell us on anything, only concern that we should get what we wanted. Every aspect of the job he and his team performed was done with extraordinary care and a concern that the job should be done right. For the amount of work involved, we also felt he delivered an excellent value, and his team were friendly and pleasant as well. We would be happy to hire him and his team for future work, and we can wholeheartedly recommend him to others.

They have a big variety, lots of fun items and are part of our favorite Bloom Cafe. That said, I ran an errand for my wife to return a plant that did not make it to a year and would be covered under their warranty. My mother-in-law is a master Gardener and my wife is an ecologist who knows what she is talking about. But during my visit they had to get sign-off by two different people - one who confirmed what we already knew, one who apparently said "we didn't give it a fighting chance." Mind you, I'm hearing this all secondhand from an employee who was saying this to a cashier (and making sure I could hear her). It was a $45 plant, and the warranty was up in a week... And everything else we planted last year from them survived. They just need to do a little bit better here.

In April 2021, I contacted Sylvan Gardens to obtain an estimate for a new retaining wall and other…read morelandscaping in my front and back yards. The springtime was very busy for landscapers, but the manager James fit in a visit to my house to provide an estimate in early May. A competing company had spent only a few minutes at my house, but James spent about 1.5 hours thoroughly doing measurements and deciding which materials to use. His estimate also was significantly lower than the competitor's, so of course, I hired his company! Because many other customers were in line ahead of me, I had to wait until the end of August and early September for my work to be completed, but that timeline was OK with me. For several days, Sylvan's workers removed my old retaining wall, built a new retaining wall, removed raised flower beds/planter boxes, removed shrubs, planted grass, and put down river rock along a fence. The workers spoke only a little English, but they were very nice, and their work was a high quality. Thanks to their work, my front and back yards now look so much better. In the future, I plan to hire them to build a second retaining wall and to install plants. (James already selected plants that will grow well in my soil and in the sun and shade.)
