Alex came out the same day and took photos and measurements. She went back to the office and laid in representative plantings in the photo of the house. She provided cost estimates and a plan and emailed them for review. We made a couple of changes and adjustments and work began all within a week. The crew came on one of the hottest days and got most of the work done on day 1. They came back the next morning to finish rocking and final cleanup. We are very pleased with the collaboration, ideas, knowledge, quality of stock and pricing. We are quite pleased with the final results! We will use Shademaster again when another project comes around.

Then there were the delays, then the grass was patchy, despite us hand watering it. The tree is filled with some type of bug. All of this we're trying to manage without the help of Corn Crib. The owner knew we weren't from the area, and could have offered suggestions. Instead, we were ghosted. My suggestion is for someone looking for a great company to work with and invest your hard earned money with, go someplace else. I wouldn't use their services again or recommend them.

It looked no different than the rest of the area we had been walking thru. A woman immediately stopped us and was very nasty in telling us we weren't allowed there. We apologized and said we didn't see a sign. At which point we were told there were a number of signs. Walking out we did see three 4 x 5 pieces of paper stuck on poles. She told us 4 times that we weren't allowed there. We got the message after the first time. It was our first time ever there after driving about 45 miles. Needless to say it will also be our last time. It has been a very long time since I have dealt with such a rude employee anywhere.

I love going through the three different buildings at Distinctive Gardens and discovering things with names like "Gollum." And they're not just fun, they're also very high-quality and perform beautifully. The grounds at Distinctive Gardens are just as amazing as the plants you find there. I've attended both a wine festival and high school class reunion here and was amazed at how the location can be transformed into an elegant, almost enchanted venue. The owners, Bud and Lisa, are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what they do - Dixon is lucky to have Distinctive Gardens!
