Description of Work: Bob from Creative Gardening did a great job landscaping our backyard. He was very open about prices and options, and helped us find exactly what we wanted, for a great price. He planted a screen of arborvitaes, along with a few shrubs in a new bed of mulch. He also put in a stone border. Even after we had agreed on a price, Bob got back to us to let us know that he got a better deal on the arborvitaes and dropped the price for us. It was a pleasure working with him and I would recommend him to anyone.

I made contact via a phone call a little over a week ago. The same day, Bob returned my phone call and made an appt. to come look at our garden bed. He arrived on time and said he would e-mail soon with a quote. Within a day or two we received an e-mail with the quote and a clear message of when work would commence. (We had just had several weeks of rain and because of that, we expected to wait a few weeks until they were able to do our job). Happily, they were able to fit us in the following week and completed the job in the same day. The area need a thorough weeding, a shrub was planted, shrubs and trees needed trimming, an herbicide was applied and a very generous layer of mulch put down. They cleaned up well and communicated well throughout the process. I would not hesitate to call on them again. Very professional and pleasant to work with. Thank you for a GREAT job!
Description of Work: They did a thorough re-vamp of two poorly maintained flower/shrub/tree beds in our front yard.

Bob came out the same day I called to do an estimate. They came out not even a week later to do the job. They were on time, polite and nice to be around. They did a great job.

hout, I contact several companies and it was almost like they were doing me a favor by bidding on the job. I saw Bob doing a job around the corner and talked to him for a few min and told him what I was looking for. He said he would come over and look at it, The next day I spoke with the owner of the home where he was working and asked them if they were happy with his work. THey told me that they were more than happy and that he had done an excellant job for them. A few days later Bob called and said he would like to come over and look at what we wanted done. He spoke with confidence and I knew that he knew what he was talking about. He took a look and told me he would get back with me the next day. He did just that and gave me an estimate and my only response was....SOLD!!! He said he would start the Job Friday morning. You know contractors, so when he showed up at 7:30 in the morning I was impressed as that in itself is rare anymore. Bob and his cred started working and Bob told me he picked out some ties for me. When the delivery truck pulled up and dropped of the Railroad Ties I was impressed. None of them split or damaged or anything else upi could blame on the dealer. They were in good shape. He did a great job far byond what I expected. He even cut a notch out of the Railroad Tie to put the gutter through so the water did not flow into the planters and flood it out. I bought the plants and he knew how far to space them and how big they would get.. I erally onlh had one concern about the job, and Bob said we will take care of that and do not worry. When all was said and done the work he had done was far superior to what I expected. Not only would I have him fo more work for me, he will be here tomorrow to give me an estimate for the back yard. Dont tell Bob, but I am not even going to waste my time calling anyone else for an estimate, I know it will be Creative Gardening. To sum it up I would disceibe the company as RELIABLE, HONEST, ETHICAL, and DETAIL ORIENTED TO DO IT RIGHT.
Description of Work: Build and prepare a planter boarder around the house and along the fence using railroad ties and filling it in with soil and mulch, and plant shrubs.

This is truly a professional company in every respect. From my initial contact to project completion I couldn't have been more satisfied. Bob, the company owner, and the two young men working with him each knew his role in executing the plan. They worked together efficiently with no down time or confusion. The whole crew was friendly and welcomed my suggestions. This service just could not have been better. My shrubs, bushes, and beds had not had proper trimming/cleaning in almost three years. As one might imagine our yard looked neglected - which it was. When Creative Gardening finished this afternoon my yard was perfect!!! The beds never looked better. I will certainly use their service again in the future. If you are hoping to find a professional company that will make your yard photo ready you will find it with Creative Gardening. I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Trimmed all hedges, shrubs and small trees. (We have many.) Weeded and cleaned beds. Cleared all trimmings.

A truly outstanding company.
Description of Work: We had new beds, plantings (tree and flowering plants), soil enhancement, mulch and rock application, and enlargement of old beds. Creative Gardening performed two separate jobs for us - one in mid 2012 and early April 2013. Each was approximately $500. We were so pleased with the results in 2012 that we would not have considered anyone other than Creative Gardening (Bob and Doris Riccelli) to do the additional work we needed/wanted done. Professional, timely, interested in what we not only talked about but listened to what we said, and made valuable suggestions. A fantastic job!! If you're seeking a professional job, reasonable fees, individuals who truly care about their workmanship, and are honest, then this is who you need to contact. I would very definitely recommend Creative Gardening to you for all your landscaping needs, be they design, plantings, new beds - whatever you desire, they can make it happen! I would call no other landscaping companies in the future; these folks are outstanding, so why take a chance with anyone else whan I know we're using the best!

Creative Gardening was recommended to me by the landscape designer I used to draw landscape plans for our front and back yard. Once I contacted Bob he came out promptly to prepare an estimate. We were not sure we would be able to afford to do both the front and back yard so Bob broke the estimated down for us by area. The estimate was very thorough, which we really appreciated, and we decided to proceed with the entire yard. Bob located and and had all the plants and supplies delivered, including 1.5 tons of natural stone for the pathway. On the agreed upon date Bob and his crew showed up and began working just as promised. Crew was very nice and professional. It took almost 3 full work days to get it all done but it was a huge job! Our yard is so beautiful we now want to spend all of our free time outside! All the beds are mulched and neatly edged, the trees, shrubs and plants are all thriving, and we couldn't be any happier! When they finished the yard was all clean and neat. Bob takes a lot of pride in his work and he was a pleasure to do business with. I would not hesitate to recommend Creative Gardening to anyone and will certainly use them again in the future!
Description of Work: Planted approximately 70 bushes, trees, and plants. Created new beds, natural rock pathway through garden area, edged all existing and new beds, mulched everything.
