We have a large yard and parking strips with no lawn, just ground covers, trees, azaleas,…read morerhododendrons, etc. About 4 years or so ago we realized that we were unable to keep up with the weeding maintenance and also wanted to get help with pruning and other gardening tasks. Over that 4 year period, we had 2 different landscape services who came every other week and raked, ran the blower and did some weeding. The most recent landscaping service didn't really weed at all and after we were gone for a couple of months, we came home to a terrible weed problem, which we tackled ourselves in a number of areas. It was time to find someone new. We hired Essential Gardeners a little more than a month ago and we have been extremely pleased with their professionalism and attention to detail. The first major weeding task was to remove grasses from one of our ground cover areas that had been just getting worse and worse over the years even with the other landscapers supposedly taking care of it. Our 2nd landscaper didn't even touch it even though we asked him to just about every time he came (and when we were gone, who knows what he did). A crew from Essential Gardeners removed all of that grass and all of the rest of the weeds in our planted parking strips and after a month, we haven't seen a single blade of grass grow back. Pretty impressive! They also did some reparative pruning on a couple of cherry trees that our last landscaper hacked at and they purchased and planted new ground covers in an area we needed help with. They meticulously hand weed with real weeding tools (our other landscapers pulled stuff out with their hands when they did get down and weed, but mostly relied on their rakes, which has created hard packed areas where our ground covers just stopped growing into). Also, the raking by the other landscapers raked out new little plants we put in and broke off the sprouts of the old things we'd planted that come up in the spring. Suddenly, some of the ferns we planted years ago are appearing again! We feel very fortunate to have found Stefany and Kim, we love their cheerful gardening crews, and we love the work they've done for us. We've finally found gardeners who understand about hand weeding and do an amazing job of it. We look forward to working with them long term.

Based on such good reviews that they had, I contacted Essential Gardners and left a voice mail as to the help I would like. Stefany returned the call promptly the next day and was very attentive in her follow up communications with me to help shortlist some plant varieties that I might like, types of services that could fit what I was looking for and estimated costs associated with their services. Before the week of the services, Stefany also made sure to contact me again so that I knew the exact date they were coming in. The date of the service Stefany and team arrived on the date as promised and did such a wonderful job transforming my sadly looking garden into a lively one. I didn't even have to stay home to monitor them while they work..and upon returning from work..I was really happy with the job they have done. This is the first time I used Essential Gardeners to help me with a small garden landscape makeover...but as I am very impressed with their work quality, honesty, and attentiveness to client needs, I am actually using them help tend my garden on a regular basis going forward as well.

Gabe and Martin walked through before the start of the project to ensure they understood how to translate the plans into reality. Sage and Stone also worked with us on options to reduce the overall scope and budget, for instance suggesting we could lower costs a bit by doing some of the demolition and prep work ourselves (which we did). The project started on schedule and the team reliably showed up every single day for the next ten weeks. We had them remove and create a new retaining wall with Techo-Blocs, relocate a freestanding structure onto new footings, install pavers under the structure, and install a new composite deck. The team also leveled out and rebuilt a small path in the yard, evening out a slope and creating a more graceful grade by installing large 4' black granite steps. Everything was edged using Colmet to keep the lines clean and they even installed a freestanding outlet in the yard to bring power to the seating area. There were minor adjustments along the way and the team showed great attention to detail. For instance, the freestanding structure posts required a skirt to conceal the post brackets. These were hand scribed onsite and featured backcut cedar with an elegant slope, cleanly mitrered and sealed joints, and most importantly, sealed undersides to protect them from water damage. Small details like aligning paver joints with the natural lines in the steps or landing, finding materials to patch up areas of the house that were newly exposed by the updated deck profile, and concealing electrical lines were most appreciated. When the inevitable issues arose, Martin walked us through the situation and we quickly reached a suitable outcome that he effectively managed. I can't stress enough how hard everyone worked and that effort consistently carried to the end of the day until they cleaned up the jobsite. Tools were neatly arranged and materials were moved into inconspicuous places before the crew left everyday. The yard looks fantastic and we love spending time out there. We're extremely happy with their work and would love to work with them again! Highly recommended.
