Benny is the heart and soul of Dr. Earth landscaping company. Our yard both front and back were unimaginative and flat. Dr. Earth gave a bid and a plan that my husband and I loved. This was the best experience! Benny had a plan, shared it, revised it and shared it again. He and his crew showed up when he said they would, and did what he planned to do for our yard. We have city owned pine trees along our back fence and finding anything that would grow in the soil under them seemed impossible. Nothing that grew in that soil was eatable. Benny and his crew came in and put life into the backyard. He poured a beautiful dyed and stamped concrete walkway, driveway and path to the front door. He put down fine granite inside his brick and stone boarders. A buff color, with a contrasting blue-gray where we had a 2 boulders and a slab for a bench. Our "stone henge" bench is in the front yard under two very mature redwood trees. They are at the least 60 feet tall. We now have year round blooms in many colors, Japanese miniature maple trees, with lights that come on at night, fun attractive bits of drift wood and a couple of medium sized bolder. I love sitting on the bench in the evening, when the lights come on it feels magical. Humming birds love the front yard, as do other little birds. I love it. One of the things I am most impressed by is the drip line watering system. I have watched my water bill decline with that drip line installation. We have a lot of bare pavers and cement in our backyard and I hated how hot and barren it looked and felt. But that was not a problem for Benny and his crew. We now have drip line watered ceramic planters with rose trees, and smaller flowers that drip color over the sides of those planters along one corner of our back yard. Benny, with his artistic eye, did not install fescue everywhere. He left a corner open and put in another miniature tree, huge rock with my favorite dragonfly garden statue on the rock. It looks as if it's ready to fly. Also in the back yard we have a lemon tree, blue berry bushes, two apple bushes each with three types of apples growing. We have a vertical garden against one fence wall that I'm filling with herbs and small eatable flowers. I thought I would never have a kitchen garden because of those acid producing pine trees. But I now have a small productive garden to grow things in. I have never loved a lawn, it's difficult and costly to maintain in our area. Benny ripped it out, fixed the watering system and put down a more drought resistant fescue/blue grass mixture. It's beautiful, looks healthy and all the neighborhood dogs love to run across it. They are welcome to play on it, as it is hearty and not at all easy to kill off! Dr. Earth will also come by twice yearly to winterize or summer prep our yard. Everything works, its all beautiful, and my expectations were met, exceeded and them left in the dust! What an amazing experience. I hope they are in business for the next 80 years at least. Oh, my favorite phase from Benny was "have you got time right now?" And off we go to look at everything, I got names and care instructions, suggestions for art, it was epic. read more
