This is a local company which is why we elected to use them to landscape our front yard and pay as much as we would have for a company from La Jolla which bid the same job for the same price. The home of the company's "Master Gardener" is 3 blocks from our home. The initial job looked good. Within a week however some of the plants started dying and had to be replaced. After a few more weeks more plants started to die off. We were told it was due to our negligence. We eventually discovered that the watering system installed was inadequate and would only water 12 of the 17 plants we had on the one side of the yard. The Master Gardener admitted that we were missing one of the sprinklers from the original plan. Then the grass started growing under all the liner material changing the contours of the landscape design and exposing all the liner material. Part of prepping to work in the yard included clearing and eradicating all the existing vegetation. They did not have much success at doing this apparently. The Master Gardener admitted that the grass was a real problem and something she had never experienced before. She stated that she was committed to fixing our front yard. After repeated missed visits, unreturned e-mails and broken promises to correct the condition of the yard for which we paid thousands of dollars, this company has done nothing. Seven months later and I am left with a mess that I will have to pay someone else to fix. This will require tearing up the entire front yard to rid ourselves of the notorious "nut grass", install the missing sprinkler, lay down new liner material and replace all the dead plants. This is not a reputable company as they have little to no integrity and do not stand behind their work.
In the event that this company elects to fix these issues, this post will be updated to reflect as much. read more
