Description of Work: Chip met with us and helped design the landscaping. He sent us to the nursery to look at the plants he recommended and encouraged us to make changes if we wanted. The crew was on time, very polite and helpful, and even moved a couple of large potted plants to our backyard. They also put in an underground downspout to clear up a gutter issue we had in the planting area. I would highly recommend them for quality, professionalism and price.

Description of Work: I had prepaid for 9 hours of landscaping. I had them deliver and install mulch and they charged labor as part of the mulch which I felt was part of the 9 hours of labor I had already paid for. It also took quite a long time to get the work done. From the time I ordered the deal on June 3, it wasn't complete until August 10. The work was good and they were nice and professional, just disagreed on cost.

Response from THE GARDEN GNOME
This job took multiple trips because of record rainfall during the time we were trying to complete the project. We try to do jobs of this type when the homeowner can be present. Because of the weather we were forced to do the work without the homeowner being there. The mulch installation wasn't part of the hourly payment. We didn't trim some things the way that the homeowner wanted so we returned at no additional charge and met with her and finished the trimming to her satisfaction.

Description of Work: Gave us a diagram and suggestions for landscaping which was well worth the Angie's deal of $25. However, the quote he gave us for his company to complete the work was, we thought, very expensive. Now, we have never gotten a quote for landscaping work before, so this one might be very competitive. Just not worth it to us.

Description of Work: He gave me a quote of nearly $10,000 for what I wanted to do. Needless to say, I'm going with his suggestions. He should have warned me that what I was interested in was going to be so pricey. He knows I'm a public school teacher and something like that would be comepletely out of my price range. Furthermore, in our conversation, he kept suggesting tropical with palm trees and I kept saying I did not want palm trees. Also, verbally he suggested bamboo, which I liked. His written proposal had palm trees and no bamboo!

Response from THE GARDEN GNOME
Met with homeowner and he explained his vision to me. He wanted his backyard to look like a tropical garden/resort. I did explain that it would be quite expensive but that we could do the landscape in stages and eventually fulfill his vision. The 1st design was to include all of his wishes and budget would not be a primary concern. The first design included demo of his entire backyard, installing irrigation for both sod and landscape, two large flagstone seating areas and rock pathways, Empire Zoysia sod, and close to 100 plants. I did suggest palms but based upon our conversation I only used a small palms called Coontie which stays low to the ground and is used more as a shrub as opposed to a large palm/feature plant. I didn't include bamboo in the proposal because after our conversation it was going to be to tall and take up more space then what the homeowner wanted.

We received this lead on 7/28/14. I don't remember anything about it. I'm sure that we were on time and professional. We work hard, and try our best to please our customers. Overall we get good reviews for our work. The vast majority of our negative reviews are for people that we have never meant, or that we only did a quote for. I know that we can't please everyone, but I find it quite frustrating when someone gives us a negative review almost a year after the initial appointment (and can't be bothered to explain what we did wrong). I shouldn't take it to heart but it really bothers me. We try to workout a plan based upon our conversation of what the homeowner wants. We do a simple drawing so that the homeowner can begin to visualize what the landscape will look like. We direct the homeowner to visit our website or the nursery where we purchase our plants website so they become more familiar with the plants. Once the landscape is agreed upon we do our best to keep to the schedule and finish the landscape on time. And when we are finished the vast majority of our customers are satisfied. I'm sorry that this homeowner didn't see the value in what we do, but I'm glad that the homeowners that we actually do the work for do.

Description of Work: We were looking for an innovative look at landscape ideas for now and for in the future. They didn't seem to really listen to what we were looking for and they recommended stock plants without an idea for what we wanted in terms of color and design. They didn't have pictures of the plants and they told us we could look them up online. They did not provide a good diagram of what it would look like so we could visualize their recommendation.

Description of Work: A very nice gentleman from Garden Gnome came to create a landscaping plan per the deal I purchased. He was very nice and came up with a plan but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for so I did not hire his organization. His plan was a bit bigger and more expensive than what I had in mind. In his defense, I should have been more specific. They are a highly rated business and I am sure his plan would have looked beautiful.
