T.G. Designscapes

Tony Giles designed a fresh look for our 1930-era home's front yard. He reduced the area of our lawn by 1/2. The remaining area was replanted with drought tolerant plants. N ote: 3 months after the project began, I'm still waiting for agreed upon work to be completed. Tony assured me additional decomposed granite would be delivered to cover the now exposed irrigation hoses and electrical wires. My phone calls and e-mails to him have gone unanswered. All new plants are now watered utilizing a drip watering system that is beneath a layer of weed cloth and decomposed granite. The center portion of the yard is where the newly installed grass/sod is located. It is surrounded by a curved concrete mowing edge that separates it from the drought tolerant plants. LED accent lighting was also installed. I am very happy with his design and layout of plants. I was unhappy with the job site not being cleared properly at the end of each day. I am a stickler for detail, especially when I'm paying for it. The finishing touches (attention to detail) were missing from the job on the final day. Those touches included: weed cloth was visible where the decomposed granite meets the concrete mow strip; scrap sprinkler pieces littered the plantings and new plantings hadn't been relieved of their dead leaves.
