Happy Plants Private Gardening and Design

4.0

To set the stage for this review: my husband and I are first time homeowners with absolutely no…read moreexperience or talent with plants. Yet we stupidly (brilliantly?) moved into a home with a beautiful Florida native/tropical garden. The previous owner was retired, very knowledgeable, had ties with the botanical gardens, and treated her garden with the utmost care. Meanwhile, we both work full time and didn't even know where to start. We tried hiring a few landscapers, who all told us our yard was out of their skill set. So after two years, it was overgrown and looking like a "hot mess" (per my neighbor). We searched and searched for someone who could take on such an extreme job, and were ghosted numerous times. Until finally we found Happy Plants. From the first visit, Krissy was a ray of sunshine. She fawned over the plants and told us how excited she was to help us take control of our yard and regain the natural beauty that drew us to the house in the first place. She started work soon after, and work she did. There was no job too insignificant and she spent hours upon hours pulling weeds, pruning, and breathing life back into our yard. She was there so often in the beginning that she became a bit of an icon on my street. She befriended all the neighborhood dogs, even the scared rescue who runs from everyone now searches for her every time he passes according to his dad. She also spent a ton of time talking with me about the plants - what they were, how to care for them, whether the were Florida native, how to prune over time to fix the now overgrown shape, etc. Just sharing her knowledge with me, answering every question I had. And probably most important for anyone reading a review: the end product was fantastic. Every time I'm in my yard, someone compliments it. And I mean EVERY time. And the credit goes to Happy Plants 100%. Krissy goes above and beyond to make sure you get whatever you want. She's even put some of our plants in Happy Plants ICU, where she gave them extra care in her own spare time and brought them back healthy and thriving. Which of course saves us money by not having to buy anything new. TLDR: my yard was an actual jungle before Krissy and Happy Plants came to save it. We now get constant compliments and my neighbors have all expressed how much they love Krissy as a person and as a gardener. Absolutely hire her if you want your plants to be happy.
