We've used PPNW for a couple of years now. The good news is your gardeners will be reasonably…read morecapable, show up on time people who speak english. Here's the bad: They've gotten very expensive at $55 per hour per gardener and require a one year contract. Your lead/contact gardener will NOT be on site while work is done. You will see gardeners on their phones while working one-handed. We have a hydrangea that borders on our neighbor's garden. The PPNW gardeners chose to prune only half of it leaving it weird looking and incomplete. Why they didn't knock on the door or call to ask if it was okay to prune the whole thing is a question unanswered by owner Shannon. Instead, she chose to cut off service to us as she felt it was rude of us to ask.

We've been working with Plant People Northwest for about 1.5 years now. They come when they say…read morethey will, are responsive to emails, and truly care about maintaining the health of our yard. We worked with another landscaper who completely butchered our bushes and sheared them beyond their natural shape. Plant People has helped us care for them in the specific ways they need, making sure to keep their natural shape and using safe soil and fertilizers. I agree with a few other reviews below that the $55/hr cost and minimum commitments add up over time. We've also had a lot of back and forth about the cost of taking items to the dump vs. putting them in our compost bin. But overall we appreciate the care they show our plants and reliability, so we plan to continue working with them and would recommend them.

Ya'll, listen, Gerard's Landscaping is GREAT! I wanted a fence built, a flagstone path laid, and a…read moreretaining wall built. I talked to multiple contractors - some who just didn't call back, a few who said they couldn't (wouldn't) build the fence I wanted, and frankly, a few that I just didn't like. Gerardo showed up, chatted with me about what I wanted, took measurements, and gave me a bid on the spot. I was moving into a house I was rehabbing and needed a portion of this fence done right away because I have a dog and he hustled to not only build the new portion I needed, but went out of his way to do some repairs on the existing fence to keep my dog safe and secure. He and the people working for him showed a lot of attention to detail, checked in with me often about the project to make sure it was coming along and looking as I expected, and every day at the end of the day the work site was clean and organized. I'm planning some plant installations and a new deck and Gerard's Landscaping is going to be my first call!

They asked me technical questions on the grade for my backyard and the kind of material i need for the steps, which i had no clue about. So I told them that i would need guidance. They sent me a very lengthy message. Whoever was responding, was in the field and took time out to respond and didnt like that I had not done my due diligence. They told me that the market has changed and they need their customers to do some research. Then they gave me an arbutrary deadline to join a COMPLIMENTARY 10min call. The number of red flags in 1 message exchange. First of all, if you are in the field don't respond to the message or hire someone who can do it without getting upset that their customer do not know what they need.

We had called up 5 companies and all got different bids. Jay was able to match the price we had and give us a few arborvitae to get us to choose his company. His team was very respectful and worked efficiently; the quality of work they did was really great. The work we got done was not small either but they finished in very realistic and quick timeline. Excavation, retention wall, paver patio, stairs, turf, and gravel were done by their team and they even leveled the gravel so I could place my raised garden bed on it. I love my backyard so much and have JM Landscaping to thank for it.

Anthony and Joe made short work of removing the remnants of our unsuccessful gardening attempt, and created a huge, beautiful garden and border, featuring a huge variety of butterfly and hummingbird friendly plants. In addition, they built a lovely trellis, complete with honeysuckle plants to give us the garden I've always wanted. It completely transformed our backyard. Throughout the project, Anthony continued to provide exemplary service - he kept me apprised of his plans, was happy to discuss any concerns, and was a pleasure to work with. I appreciate his continued commitment to excellent customer service and high quality work. If you're looking for an excellent landscaping company, definitely reach out to Anthony.

Edit responding to below: No I was not happy, I did immediately point out that the planting was in the wrong area and too small but what was I supposed to do? Based on your reply I guess I should have simply not paid. You should check with your customers when you are purchasing plants, and again that they are fully satisfied with the work they hired you for. I assumed that a *privacy screen* was self explanatory. I guess not.

Fantastic advice and great service!…read more I got a list of Landscape Designers from Sky Nursery. Verde Gardens stood out both because of the pictures on her website and her prompt response when I reached out. After talking on the phone we set up an appointment for her to come by and look at my yard. Michelle took stock of the space and suggested several ideas to see what I liked and what would fit in my budget. After this, she returned on a follow up appointment with drawings of the two potential layouts she had promised. To my surprise, she was so enthused she included a third option which turned out to be the one that my partner and I liked most. Next it was down to choosing materials and plants. Michelle provided the perfect amount of advice, giving me lots of different choices and making suggestions when I needed her input, and taking time to explain the cost differences on different paving stone options. She had a list of landscapers and chose one of her favorites to do my yard. Due to cancellations by other folks, I was able to get the landscaping work completed much faster than anticipated and was extremely pleased with the results. Verde Gardens exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend.

We are so happy with the results and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to reimagine their outdoor space.

Tim has been doing landscaping work for us for the past few months and I cannot recommend him more…read more Getting a quote & pricing: I submitted my project on yelp and got many responses for my landscaping job. Tim was the first one to respond and he came super quickly and gave me a very reasonable quote right from the start. I got to compare his quote with various others and he had the best rate. I could also tell that I can trust him because he was very upfront with everything he said he wanted to do and could do and he answered all the questions I had. He has lived up to that promise and more this whole time. Professionalism and dedication to work: from the little that I know about biweekly yard maintenance I feel like most landscapers come out for an hour or two for the quoted price. However, Tim has worked in our yard for sometimes over three hours because he is dedicated to getting the job done and making sure the yard looks great. He cares very much about the work that he does and that's why he stays until the job is done. Odds & Ends: we had two dead trees in the yard that had to be cut down, and Tim took it upon himself to find an excellent arborist that he knew of that would give us a good price and do excellent work. We also got other quotes and indeed found that Tim's recommendation was the best. If that wasn't enough, Tim noticed that we had some potentially broken fences and as predicted the fence fell down a few days later with a giant gust of wind. Tim offered to fix the fence with a very reasonable price. I cannot recommend Tim enough because I admire his work ethic and his commitment to getting the job done. Usually I try to work with businesses that have lots of good reviews already but they all had to start somewhere so I thank my lucky stars that I became one of his first customers and got in on the ground floor!

We had the back yard landscaping portion of the plan completed in 2014, which included redoing the back fence line and building an arbor over the back gate. We get tons of compliments on the yard.

She taught us cool things like how to tell if individual branches are dead, or the best place to prune a rose back to. We didn't identify any major landscaping projects, and she didn't ask for any charge, just that we keep them in mind if we end up getting work done. We certainly will!
