Their prices were competitive and their scheduling fit well with our plans. As a part of this project, they cleared out a wooded area behind our home and removed items left by some vagrants. Then they revitalized our garden areas by removing some old, tired junipers, and golden cypress. They planted new trees, added a rock border in front of the house and paved the apron next to the house. Everything looks fantastic! We will definitely be using them again in the near future. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for high quality work.

Jon took time up front to listen and understand our preferences and dislikes, and then shared his knowledge, experience and creative skills in a collaborative manner so that we ended up with a great outcome. He and Mark, the job-site supervisor are professional and hard working, and at the same time very personable and easy to work with. They responded graciously to concerns that arose as the job unfolded, and were willing to incorporate ideas and suggestions that we came up along the way. And thanks to Joe for providing so much of the "muscle" that the job required. Jon and crew have extensive knowledge and experience in local plants and conditions. Highly recommended.

I have LOVED working with Debra Gear over the years. I was starting with a very large yard that had…read morezero landscaping and she helped me create a working 10 year plan for the entire property.

After I paid a $2K deposit, Debra's crew put in one day of work and then disappeared for a month. I…read morecontacted her repeatedly and in a cordial manner during that time and she finally came over to my house to explain she'd been having some personal difficulties. She promised she wouldn't go missing again and would finish the job right away. Two weeks later, the crew showed up and again put in one day of work. To this day, eight months later, the job is unfinished. Even worse, I paid an additional $1.7K that included an overpayment (her invoice was incorrect) of nearly $400. Debra has acknowledged I overpaid but says she's too broke to return the money. The quality of the work that was done is terrible: a path that was supposed to be level is not, another that was supposed to be straight is anything but that, metal path edges are wonky, and excavated soil was left all over the place, including on top of the crowns of established plants. I don't doubt that Debra can do good work but got the impression my job was small potatoes to her. I also got the impression she's manipulative, to put it mildly. Finally, it only belatedly occurred to me that Ms. Gear never represented to me that her business is licensed or insured. On jobs that require heavy lifting, mechanical equipment, etc: homeowner beware.

We were referred to Hazel Designs by our wedding planners. We spent $5,000 on floral for a small…read morewedding that included one bridal bouquet, 10 table centerpieces, suspended greenery, 3 floor arrangements, arbor floral, colorful bud vases/market flowers, and a few misc. accent florals. All vases were purchased separately and were not included in the floral cost. Leading up to the wedding Annika was difficult to communicate with, did not provide any floral mockups, and did not send an invoice or contract until 19 days before our wedding. Once we finally received an invoice, we wanted to scale back just a bit to stay closer to our budget. She charged us an extra $60 design fee for "last minute" changes. I'll be honest, that was very frustrating considering the ONLY reason our requested changes were last minute is because she didn't send an invoice earlier. We were understandably nervous about her overt lack of professionalism, but we stuck with her because our wedding planners assured us that she always comes through on the day of. Our planners were correct - she came through on the day of and exceeded our expectations! She was on time and professional. She transformed an empty greenhouse into a beautiful, lush setting and the dinner table looked like something out of a magazine. We LOVED the bridal bouquet ($250); the suspended greenery over the aisle ($900); the cut bamboo greenery for the greenhouse walls ($280); and the floor arrangements ($340). For the table centerpieces, we ordered 4 large and 6 small centerpieces ($610) to have some height variety. We received 10 beautiful arrangements that were all the same size. Although we loved how the centerpieces looked, it is worth noting that it was not what we ordered. We were not happy with the reception florals (colorful flowers for 24 small bud vases). She charged us $12 for just the floral in each, for a total of $288 and that was definitely overpriced for what we received. All in all, the positives outweighed the negatives and we're grateful for all the work the Hazel Design team did to make our wedding magical.
