THE GARDEN GNOME

Excellent. I am very pleased.

A great experience. Chip helped me pick out the plants I wanted and did not mind my input at all. He is very knowledgable. I will be using him again for my mother-in-law's house.

Chip did a terrific job. He came up with recommendations for landscaping that turned out better than I had hoped. Many neighbors have commented out well the yard looks now. I would definitely recommend Chip to anyone interested in landscaping.

Initially we played phone tag but once connected Chip came and gave me an estimate for sod and landscaping plants. I also needed my picket fence painted and he referred me to a painter who did a good job as well as arranged for an irrigation company to give me an estimate for adding some sprinkler heads and repairing others. Chip is very friendly and personable. He was prompt and provided the quality services he promised. He put in zoysa sod and it is thick and green and the landscape plants are healthy and beautiful. I also purchased some olive trees and Chip will plant them in containers as soon as I purchase the containers. He gave me the names of places where I can purchase these containers. He was great to work with and I will recommend him to friends and family and plan to use him again when I get ready to do my back yard.

They were courteous, on time, efficient and I highly recommend them. I will use them again in the future.

The price was more than acceptable. They were always on time.

I contacted them through Angie's List. I had had probably 3 or 4 people come out to look at the house and most of them just offered to do the sodding and then referred me to someone to do the actual landscaping, but Chip came out and he looked around. He took measurements and did the cross drawings of what the yard looked like within a day or 2. He showed it to me so that I could understand what he was talking about when he sent me the design. He sent me designs within a couple of days and directed me to a website where I could see what the actual plants would look like. We talked a couple of times about making some changes because of some colors that my wife liked and didn't like. I wanted to add a citrus tree at the backyard. He said that he didn't have a problem and he could do that. The same thing with a plant that I really liked and I wanted to know if he could find a place for it and he did. He was always on time. He was really good about communicating. He finished everything when he said. I think there was a little bit of a delay or like a floating deadline with the sod because he was using another company to do the actual sod. They had some project they had to finish so it wasn't like it would be done on a certain day and it wasn't. It was more like we could do this during this time frame and then as we got closer to it he got more specific and it worked out fine. He made everything else before he installed it. I liked it and that was really cool. Also a few weeks after he installed the plants in front of the house one of the bushes died and it wasn't doing well. I called him, he came out and looked at it and replaced it at no cost. I don't think they were cheap plants either. One of my sprinkler heads in my irrigation system wasn't working right and I couldn't really pinpoint whether it was caused by anything he did or not, but he came back out at no cost at my convenience. He looked at it and actually took it apart and fixed it on his own just to make sure I was happy. I was very pleased. Everything that he told me was there and definitely when I wanted. His price was in line with everybody else's price. Everything was fine and if it wasn't, he replaced it.

We met with 5 or 6 landscape companies before finding Chip from the Garden Gnome and we can't say enough good things about him. He came to our house and listened to what we wanted, what we didn't like and what our budget was. He asked how much time we wanted to devote to the yard to maintain it and what style we liked. Based on our conversation, he created a plan with our specifications and his own suggestions woven in. It was exactly what we were looking for. Chip is probably the most responsive service provider we have ever used. He always returned phone calls or emails within a few hours; he kept us up to date on the installation schedule and was always very professional and pleasant in all communications. The entire process - from the initial meeting to the installation - was completed in about three weeks. Chip worked around our schedule and pushed the installation back a week due to a vacation we had planned. He took our yard from the worst front yard on the street to the best front yard on the street. We are extremely pleased with the final product. We would recommend him to anyone and will definitely use him again in the future.

We found The Garden Gnome on the list. We called for an estimate to add some shrubs after a new fence was installed. Chip came for the estimate promptly and gave good suggestions on what we should use for vegetation. It took several weeks to have the fence work complete. As soon as we let him know we were ready he scheduled an appointment to match our schedule. THe work was completed that day and the results were super. We did have some of the plants die off and called for help. Chip immediately replaced the plants without question. His friendly attitude and great service are just a couple of reasons that we would use him again.

Excellent--couldn't have asked for better service.

They were professional. They sub-contract the work.

They always answered my calls. They were helpful and made sure that they finally did something that looked good. I wanted the work to be something easy to take care of and they assured me that it would look good when the work was done. They were always very patient. I had them do the estimate a couple of months back and then decided to wait on the work. They called me to see what I needed and they were ok with me waiting on the work. They said they would call back. They were very respectful and not pushy with their quote. They were very good. However, I did not feel good about getting back to the sod company he was working with as I had to do all the follow-ups. But after I called him, he followed up and made sure that I understood. I really did not feel that I was supposed to take care of the follow up with the sod company as I thought that it was his job. I also thought that some of the work could have been a lot neater but it was hard to say in landscaping work.

The landscaper was excellent. He was good. In fact, we are going to have him come back and do some trimming. We had quite a few shrubs and we ripped it all out. He came and did a very beautiful design with plants that we don?t have to worry about. It?s practically hands free. It takes care of itself. He used a lot of huge rocks that really looks good. The neighbors who came by loved it and it just shows up the house. He came when he said he would. He finished the job when he said he would. We were very pleased with him. He also asked us to call him if we had any problem. We had some questions on some plants and he got back to us immediately. He was wonderful. He should get recognition. We loved him and we are going to keep him as our landscaper to do some more work.

I contacted three landscaping companies, and Chip provided me with the design and ideas that I liked the best. He recommended one other company to install curbing (Which I used), and one other company to install additional irrigation (Which I also used). After curbing and irrigation were installed, Chip came in and planted the entire front yard based on our original design. Not only did he use high-quality materials (Plants and trees), but also did an excellent job of installing (planting) all materials used. The place looks GREAT! I couldn't be more satisfied.

Very good. I had called two other landscaping companies before and they didn't even show up. This company was very professional, showed up when he said he would. He helped me decide what plants to put in once I gave him a general idea what I wanted. He had a good sense of what would look good and I am very pleased with the results. The yard looks so much better.

Overall, everything went exceptionally well. I worked with the company to tell them what I liked and didn't like as part of their overall design plan. They created a beautiful landscape design for me based on what I told them. They recommended I add a bubbler system for the back landscaping, which I did, and it went very well too. They completed everything on time, and it was very neat and tidy. The landscaping is beautiful, and we had one plant die within the first week, and they immediately replaced it for me. They also helped train me on how to take care of the new plants. I am extremely pleased with the results and would definitely hire this company again. I'll enjoy their handiwork for many years to come.

Very professional and attractive work. Chip is friendly, cooperative, and easy to work with. His was always receptive to including changes or recommendations to the plan. We are pleased to be able to add to his commendable reports.

Chip is knowledgeable and professional. He came up with good suggestions for the types of plants to use. He was on time for the quote and the installation. Work went smoothly and we are happy with the results.

Chip Offers, the owner, was responsive from the first call for an estimate. He listened to our objectives for the project and then delivered a great design, using materials that were appropriate to the project. He and his crew arrived when they said they would be there, worked virtually nonstop while they were there and finished exactly when they had estimated compleition. The plant materials were of healthy and of high quality and were planted properly, which was a challenge due to the heavy concentration of oak roots underlying the front lawn. Lastly, the crew thoroughlly cleaned up at the end of the project. Chip is a solid guy that runs a quality operation. His people obviously enjoy working with him and they enjoy their work. I will definitely use him for future projects without any hesitation.

Chip's response to my request was timely. He was professional and friendly. He met with me, listened to my requierments, and then went to work creating a design. I was impressed with the design and was very pleased. I was actually ready to hire The Garden Gnome when I recieved a last minute quote and design. I chose to go with the last minute design, not because it was any better technically, but becuase it really better fit the vision that I had and included some additional elements that I wasn't even aware that I was looking for. I was a little disappointed that Chip and I would not be working together, but I had to chose the design that best met my needs. Thanks to The Garden Gnome for all of the time and effort that went in to meeting with me and creating the design.

The owner came out. He was very personable but I did not feel that I was get a personalized landscape, and this could have been because it was such a small job. His price was good, it was about the same as the other estimate I received. I felt he was a little too persistent in his follow up.

I went to them and they acted like a general contractor for the landscaping, removal of sod, and installation of new sod. They were very responsive and competitively priced. They delivered on time and as promised.

He did an outstanding job. He and all of his people (total of 4) were very friendly and did their work in a very professional way. I cannot tell you how beautiful my yard is now. It was well worth it.

An irrigation technician who came to my house referred me to The Garden Gnome and they got in touch with me. They came on the same day and gave an estimate. I think they were very reasonably priced and did a great job for me. I will continue to use them and have referred them to other too.

He does beautiful landscaping. I have seen his work on other lawns and was very impressed. I put a call into him, so that he can work on our yard. From the start, they were nothing but professional and was always on time. They did a superb job and for the cost, it was worth so much more. He knows his job very well, and his suggestions really paid off because we always have neighbors commenting on our yard. Other people, who have had work done by him, rave about his talent. From hear on out, we will continue to call him for our landscaping needs.
