Response from David Gardner The Gardener
Thank you member, for the kind words and trust you gave me. We'll find out how well things go come rainy season, and I'll be at the ready if you need any additional help. If you read my last report, which since writing my response I've spending a few hours going through: phone records, files, e-mails -- anywhere that may have record of getting voice mails from the "F" giver, I can not find a trace if his call? I even looked up his address and it appeared as new construction. With so little of that going on, I'd remember that? What I wrote toward the end of the note, regarding the unexpected bunch of requests, (I'm grateful, just wish they were a little more spread out) Your'e job was at the very begining of that seven day a week work, no time for billing, and I pray "never again," crazy period of my life. When doing your job, and reviewing your needs, I was in a manic/panic stage, knowing I couldn't keep up with the requests though wanting to please them all, and in constant fear of a bad report, one that could spoil all that work I've done; earing a reputation for customer service, quality work, and creative solutions. Near 21 years of painstakingly building it: never going to court, returning calls no matter how inconvienient, re doing things for people if they were not happy, the list is endless. (Funny thing life is, as it did happen; my fear came true, and I got my first "F," Not an earned one, not from someone waiting too long for an estimate, or whom I'd done shoddy work, not someone who I'd not shown up for an appointment with, or someone with any other "real reason" that I can think of that would lead anyone to rate a company they've had no experience with in such a way; even if he truly believes he had left me two voice mails and had no response. Why not send an e-mail, or call Angies, or try again and tell me what I had done. With trouble seporating feelings between personal and work, it hurts emotionally, and also with my ability to provide for my family.) Member, I wanted to let you know that I enjoyed what little time we spent on the phone together, and truly love your very beautiful home. It's a privilage to work on that home, and to help someone whom since we finished, that I've heard from the lips of several of my friends and clients about your reputation as generous donators of both time and money to causes you believe in. I truly hope, if you ever choose to make any changes to your landscaping, that you will give me the opportunity- or at least a chance- to be a part of them. Though I've been enthusiastic since birth, nicknamed by an Aunt who cared for me several months a year as "nervous norvous," a name I've come to look at fondly as I do my Aunt, I'm not normally quite as manic as the person you dealt with, and I also don't wait two months to bill either! If you've taken the time to read this, thank you. I hope everything is going well for both you and your husband this summer. David Gardner

Description of Work: My property has never been landscaped professionally. I needed major grounds clean-up, irrigation installation, landscaping, and hardscaping. I was looking for someone local who knew requirements, codes for my area, and was part of my community. David Gardner responded quickly to my inquiry, made an initial assessment of the grounds and some suggestions to improve the property while he was planning the landscaping/hardscaping. His crew came out immediately and cleaned and hauled away yard "stuff" that had collected over time. They also removed unwanted bushes and plants. They currently come weekly to keep the grounds clean and mowed. I am enjoying the unfoldment of this major change in my property. Dave is not just an ordinary landscape contractor, he is an artist. He takes time to get to know you and makes plans based on your life- style and personality. He keeps in touch with me regularly regarding the progress of my project and/or changes in plans. He is an artist who has great instinct. I trust him fully with my project and value his expertise and advice. He is one of the greatest guys to work with. Dave will definitely be called again and referred to others. I enjoy working with him and am extremely pleased with his work.

Response from David Gardner The Gardener
This is a fun project, and a fun owner to boot. I'm grateful for the trust. The owners, original since the home was built 30+ years ago, have been weekend gardeners doing the best they could with the budget they had. Lots of interesting solutions they had thought of, and from what she says, they enjoyed the process. Now its time to have the yard done professionally, and bring it up to neighborhood standards. It's a nice place to live, and soon their yard will have what she's dreamed of: A rose garden, raised bed veggies, a small orchard, pretty plants that go together and don't take too much water or time to care for, and it will all flow together into one unit. I'm enjoying working with her and the design process that continues to evolve. Thanks for the kind words,process David Gardner "The Gardener"

Response from David Gardner The Gardener
WORKING WITH THEM WAS FUN. THEY LAUGHED AT MY HUMOR AND WE ENJOYED MUCH BANTERING BACK AND FORTH REGARDING THEIR LANDSCAPE CHOICES (THE GIANT BBQ ISLAND FOR EXAMPLE) AND LIFE IN GENERAL. LIKE MANY OF OUR JOBS, THEY WERE HAPPY ENOUGH WITH MY WORK THAT WE ALSO LANDSCAPED THEIR FRONT YARD A YEAR OR SO LATER. ALSO, WE CONTINUED TO MAINTAIN IT ALONG WITH APPLYING FERTILIZER AND SEASONAL COLOR WHEN APPROPRIATE. I'M ESPECIALLY PROUD OF THE WATER FALL AND STREAM WITH A CAMP FIRE LIKE FIRE RING. THE FACT THAT IT ACHIEVED THE DESIRED RESULTS OF APPEARING AS THOUGH IT WAS THERE WHEN THE HOUSE WAS BUILT, NOT AN AFTERTHOUGHT THAT APPEARS OUT OF NO WHERE, WAS VERY SATISFYING. PHOTOS OF THE COMPLETED PROJECT CAN BE VIEWED ON MY WEB SIGHT. I'D LOVE TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO DO ANOTHER SIMILAR PROJECT, ALTHOUGH THE DETAILS INVOLVED ARE OVERWHELMING, THE FINISHED RESULTS WERE WORTH ALL OF THE TIME NEEDED TO CREATE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL YARD.
