Response from THE GARDEN GNOME
Met with the homeowner and discussed the project. Homeowner hired us on an hourly bases. I explained the charges and gave her a written quote. We accommodated her scheduling needs. We were in constant contact with her while work was being done. We even went to pickup materials that she had ordered for the project. At the end of the day she wanted more work to be done but didn't want to pay any additional fees. She also didn't want to pay to dispose of the old plants, but she also didn't want materials left on the property. We did exactly what we were contracted to do at the agreed upon price.

Description of Work: Trees were trimmed, fallen vines were tied and secured. Bushes were shaped and cut down. All cut offs were hauled away. Workers were very accommodating with extra work that was done and very friendly. I am contacting them to come back for other work as well.

Response from THE GARDEN GNOME
We have done work for this homeowner multiple times. He has a 2nd home in South Tampa that he need some work done. I explained to him prior to our meeting that this our busiest time of year (we install and take down Christmas lights). I arranged for someone that I work with to also meet us for the proposal. We walked around with the homeowner and listened to what he needed done. My friend gave him a quote for the work while we were on the property he also agreed to honor the Angie's List coupon that the homeowner had purchased. I told the homeowner that I could do the work towards the end of January or that my friend could do it at the beginning of the month. I did my best to insure that the homeowner could get the job done for a fair price in a timely fashion.

Response from THE GARDEN GNOME
I met with the homeowner and her 1st comment was that she didn't want to have to go outside and do anything. I explained even if we removed everything and replaced it with concrete, it would still require maintenance and upkeep. We remove the sod and replaced it with mulch and we cleaned up the plant bed. I suggested other ideas but budget and maintenance where the primary concerns. After the original job the homeowner contracted us for additional work. I gave them a quote for 3 additional areas. We agreed to do 2 of the areas and that I would return after a large tree had been removed to finalize the quote for the third area. When we went out to do the work for the 2 agreed upon areas the large tree had already been taken down. We finished the work that we had agreed to and asked for payment, I told them that I would be out as soon as possible to evaluate and finalize the third area. When my office called and asked for payment for the work that had been finished, the homeowner said not to bother with the third area. We try our best to work with and please our customers, and overall we are normally able to accomplish that goal. We are grateful for the customers that we are able to make happy.

Description of Work: Chip, the owner came to my house to give quote. Very genuine and trustworthy. After I told him that I was on a budget, he told me that I could do some of the work myself and gave me suggestions on how and what. Really appreciated that. He did great work and also followed up when he said he would (after he was paid). I would definitely recommend them and use them again. My only issue was how long it took to get them out to my house initially but he explained that he received an overwhelming response from his Angie's list promotion.
