From the get-go, Ingrid was on top of everything and responsive to this major project. She was excellent at providing a vision, trouble shooting for unexpected problems and providing amazing results. I can't say there weren't unforeseen complications at times like with any other project but I found her reasonable and professional. My outdoor spaces speak for themselves from her late autumn work to seeing our first spring bloom.

Fiddlehead Gardens did excellent work. I needed a gardener and met Racheal Perry while she was…read moreworking in the garden at a friend's house in SF. She was doing a great job there so I asked her to come and give me an estimate at my house close by. She got in touch with me a few days later to set up an appointment. I hate to do gardening work and had gotten very lazy and needed a lot of help. I have a backyard deck with two very large planter boxes full of dying and out-of-control plant growth. I also have two planter boxes lining my driveway that needed a new irrigation system and a lot of clearing out done as well. Racheal arrived at the initial appointment on time. She is very pleasant and has a lot of experience and knowledge. She obviously loves what she does. I received a fairly priced written estimate by mail within a week. And Racheal came up with a smart way to do the irrigation system in the front of my house that solved a big watering headache. I was very pleased. A couple of weeks later Racheal and Cate came to my house and did a fantastic job. They were on time, hard working, polite and fun to talk to and did all the work as expected (which took a full 8 hours). There was a lot to do and afterwords my deck/yard and front planter boxes looked great. They hauled away a big truck full of plant debris - good riddance! I am very much looking forward to entertaining and hanging out on the deck during the summer. And knowing that Fiddlehead will be doing monthly maintenance, I know my deck will be in good shape. I am also looking forward to seeing the new plants grow. Thanks Racheal and Cate!

I can't say enough good things about Racheal and Fiddlehead Gardens. She took our modest-sized…read morefront planter beds (and our modest budget) and crafted a plan that turned them from an eyesore into a tidy and easily maintained space. She was also the only one (!) of the landscape architects or gardeners I called who assured me that she herself planned to work onsite throughout the entire job, supervising her staff and attending the fine pruning of our unruly apple tree personally. Her attention to detail also deserves a mention: the irrigation system she designed is a marvel, with miniature sprayers positioned perfectly for the various plantings. She even took it upon herself to tidy up our overgrown agapanthus, despite it technically not being part of the work order. A five-star experience from beginning to end.

I hired Francisco to give my front and back yard a make over. He came over the same day to take a…read morelook and give me an estimate. He had great suggestions right off the bat. Things I did not consider nor knew even existed as a potential road block. I really appreciated that he did not try to upsell me on anything. He explained the edging I had selected was not going to work for what my intention was and this saved me $$. His recommendations were in line with my vision and within my budget. Francisco and and his team were respectful hard workers to myself and my Neighboor's. They always cleaned up for the day which I really appreciated. Francisco was great at communicating with me and I always knew the plan for the days work and how the day ended. He is very familiar with all products landscaping and gardening. I was so impressed with his work ethic that I referred him To my Neighboors who have already booked his services. (See Morgan's review) I plan on phase two soon and Francisco will definitely be the one I turn to. If you want honest, quality competitive prices for landscaping or anything garden I highly suggest you give Francisco a call and have BQL&GS work their magic. Thanks Francisco see you soon.

He worked with me and the budget I had to provide the most value for the time and money. The property looks brand new and he gave me a fresh start, and I'm incredibly grateful for that. I'll be calling him back for sure for any future projects I have in mind!

From the start, working with Lara @ Bountiful Botanicals has been a pleasure! Our project was quite…read morelarge, involving a bigger crew, and dealing with unexpected challenges throughout the project due to our back yard having a lot of "hidden history", so to speak. But Lara and the crew were able to meet these challenges head on, and found ways to optimize time so we were not bogged down with extra spend. We completely overhauled our back yard, from an overgrown mess to a yard we could be proud of, and most importantly, safe for our kids. Lara was great in understanding we had kids, and she helped in choosing materials that would work well to reduce or eliminate chemicals or difficult/sharp surfaces. Same goes for plant selection, equally good for our kids and dog so nothing with poisons, and lots of fun edibles for the kids to easily pick off an eat. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Bountiful Botanicals for your project, both large and small. They can take on any challenge and have the skills within the team to get any project completed. I've included a before, and a few after. The details speak for themselves on the quality and craftsmanship from the team!

Never received a confirmation so I figured that was a no-go. The time came and they called but I didn't answer because I didn't think there was an appointment.

I hope this company can work for others as their work looks nice.

We've had our garden in for three years. I cannot recommend them for design or upkeep. I was…read moreinitially happy, and we have elements that we are very happy with, but there were decisions made that, in hindsight, seem questionable. We have an edible garden with several spreaders (mint, red shiso) and vines (blackberry and grape). Why did Andrea insist on mint and red shiso as a wild plant in our edible garden? (Andrea laughed and said they'd keep it under control -- meaning their gardening services.) We also have a grape vine and a blackberry bramble in our edible garden. None of these are sunk plants. Want some mint? Also, I wanted one of our citrus trees in the front; I was told no. And, when we were choosing fruit trees, Andrea insisted on a plum even though we repeatedly asked for a pluot (which we finally got). The butterfly and pollinator side was mainly grasses. We asked for plans for our backyard, too, but when we said we didn't want two trees taken out, and two of the four plans removed those trees, I was done. Many of the team members are fantastic to work with. However, if the team makes choices about what's in your garden and either fails to plant with the expected results (pollinators, bird habitat) or plants what they want, it's not worth it.

Probably, depending on how much time you have to figure it all out. But where we got the most value out of Heidi was in narrowing the field of plants and other features that would suit our property, tastes, and needs, so we could do the work ourselves without having to personally become landscaping experts. In all, I think I can safely say that Heidi has saved us thousands (tens of thousands?) of dollars that we don't have, by guiding us through the process of redoing our yard. She listened carefully to our likes and dislikes, assessed the sunlight, soil, and drainage issues around our property, and came up with lists of appropriate plants and design features that would meet our goals. She was respectful of our interests, and never pushed anything on us that we didn't like. She also has relationships with other pleasant landscaping people, one of whom (irrigation guy Anthony Mattison) was particularly helpful. So now, after a year of working with Heidi, we have redone almost our entire yard (mostly) by ourselves, including flagstone, flower beds, a lawn, irrigation, and so on, and our property is starting to look awesome. Without her, we would probably have made some progress by now, but I shudder to think of all the expensive and time-consuming missteps, mistakes, and regrets we would have had along the way. Highly recommended.
