I paid $650 last year for one snow fall and $500 this season for one snow fall in January. The blizzard of March 15 and 16, 2026, where we got over 8" of snow, he not only never showed up, he never responded to his phone calls or text message I sent him. My last call, I was informed the phone number was disconnected.

Ben is an incredible entrepreneur, hard worker and good communicator for this clients…read more I found him through Yelp projects and he was attentive and quickly help schedule an onsite appointment for a site survey. We discussed a very large front yard undertaking with him. We wanted a "low grass" front yard concept and I explained to him some general flowers and plants I wanted involved. He put an outdoor landscaping "floor plan" together if you will. We talked things through and after some slight adjustments, we moved forward! He was great to organize and plan with. The issue is the timing of all of the plants and when they would be arriving due to the "zone" we are in. On the day of the project he and his team member arrived bright and early, discussed the plan and drawing once again to make sure we were all on the same page and got to work. Ben handled much of the getting rid of the grass and having level and even dirt. We had him bury a pipe regarding our excess water pump so that it was clean and underground and to the sidewalk. Then all of the plants were put into place and everything was covered with mulch. We even had him take out some large bushes that were in the back yard as part of the project while he was here. He was great to work with, had awesome follow up and always explained why something was happening. In his profession there obviously are some weather dependencies, so he was always good about keeping us informed if something had to slightly shift in the schedule.

Although I am quite sure I did a horrible job explaining it, Kim completely understood the vibe I was going for and had some wonderful ideas about how to make the different elements of our wedding design feel cohesive. When we had to postpone our original wedding plans due to COVID-19 pandemic, Kim was so supportive and helpful. Then, when we decided to reimagine our wedding day with a smaller ceremony Kim made it so beautiful! She was so flexible as our plans kept changing (trying to figure out how to celebrate love during a pandemic can be tricky!). Our flowers were so amazing I didn't want to send them away to be preserved! Kim was a joy to work with and she is so wonderful at what she does, I cannot recommend A Cottage Gardener enough!
