Description of Work: I think we just had high expectations. We were hoping for a quote on irrigation, sod, fresh landscaping and curbing. When the representative arrived at the house we found out they don't provide irrigation, sod or curbing services. Partially our fault, for assuming, but they did mention all the above on their website, along with gallery pictures that included concrete curbing. It was a little misleading. |There were only two plants that my wife really wanted to keep in the design, and when the rep gave us the plan those two plants would be removed. We just didn't feel like they gave us any new, fresh, exciting ideas. The plan, that we paid $25 for someone to create, consisted of planting four bushes across our front porch area and anchoring them with two different bushes on the far left and right. It was just a bit disappointing.

We do not provide every service ourselves, however we do have long lasting relationships with the companies that we recommend. We do provide minor irrigation repair and adjustments, and we do install sod.

Description of Work: Built walkway around back of house, added mulch to backyard. They were always on time and got the work done quickly and efficiently. The walkway and the back yard look great. I think the price was fair for the work done.

Description of Work: Provided a landscaping design for our front yard. Discussed plan for backyard as well. Listened to our vision of what we wanted to see. Returned at a later date to make adjustments. Friendly service. Landscaping is expensive, but pricing seemed competitive. The only thing we were hesitant about was the responsiveness. Chip was patient with us throughout the approval of our HOA.

Description of Work: We purchased a "big deal" for the Garden Gnome to come to our home for an estimate to install a tropical "island" in our back yard. Chip came out and did a rough drawing of what it would look like, made suggestions for the plants and trees, and estimated the cost. I did hire him for the job. The island turned out better than I expected, really beautiful, although the cost was a bit higher than the estimate due to my changing some of the trees we initially discussed (I would have liked to know that beforehand). The guys he brought in to do the job were polite and worked really hard in the brutal heat all afternoon. Overall, very satisfied with the service and I would recommend The Garden Gnome to my friends and neighbors.

Description of Work: I called Chip to do design landscaping plan for my front yard and backyard. The plan was a rough sketch on paper. I asked him to do a redesign as I wanted to add few more things. He said he will do that and deliver it within a week. I am still waiting for the redesign sketch.

Response from THE GARDEN GNOME
I did meet with [member name removed] to discuss and design his landscape. I met with him late in the evening and discussed at some length what he wanted the landscape to look like. Based upon our conversation I designed a landscape for him. After designing the landscape I went in to [member name removed]'s home and talked about the project in great detail. At this time he decided that he would like a completely different landscape design. It was too dark to continue that evening. I did plan on returning and designing another landscape, but we have just entered the spring season and my schedule hasn't allowed me to return.

Excellent -see above.
Description of Work: Chip helped me design my landscaping, suggested easy-care but attractive plants, provided a quick quote, showed up to do the work right on time, and did an outstanding job. Laid new sod, removed old landscaping, planted new items, checked out and repaired sprinklers, laid mulch, cleaned up, gave me recommendations for care, and was an overall nice, very knowledgeable guy with a nice crew. Outstanding experience!!

See above
Description of Work: I called the Garden Gnome to inquire about what to do with my back yard since I have puppies that dig. Rather then suggest something very expensive he suggested that I simply mulch the area to see if my dogs were still digging or if they could behave. He said if they have stopped digging then we can move forward with a landscaping project. I felt that he was very honest and very helpful, he could have charged me to do tons of work only to have my dogs dig it up. He seems very knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge. As soon as I am ready he will be getting my business!
