My backyard has been landscaped and I am feeling so blessed. Not only did it come out great, but Greg Tuman, owner of PACIFIC ROOTS, was a real pleasure to work with. He was such a good listener about what I like and what might concern me. He was an artist, eyeing the installation from all directions as it went in and considering where the next plant or rock should go; his taste was similar to mine, so when my brain couldn't make a decision I asked him what he would do and always liked the answer. He was a terrific communicator, texting each morning to let me know what time they'd arrive to start work. He had an impressive memory and knowledge base and the patience to take my phone calls from the nursery when I found some wonderful specimens I had to have, and he refigured out what to skip where, and supported me to use these instead. His foreman, Jorge, was equally kind, patient, eager to please and very skillful (the irrigation master). Bonus: the bill was much less than I'd expected. There were several jobs ahead of me, but it was well worth the wait in order to work with Greg and his crew. read more
