We were pleased with Perennial Garden?s design but dismayed by their lack of horticultural expertise. We had a pretty looking garden until half of it died. We hired Perennial Gardens to design and install a garden. To hide an unsightly border fence, they planted 5, 6-foot Tvurdy yews. Unfortunately, 4 of the yews died over the winter. The shrubs were guaranteed, however, when replaced, the 4 yews were substituted with 3, 5-foot yews, much smaller in diameter. Apparently, planting 4 yews had contributed to their deaths. If this had been the original design, we would never have approved it: the yews look awful and even when mature will not hide the fence. We were happy to work with Linda to come up with a solution; however, she was not willing to take responsibility for this. We requested to be reimbursed for the 4th yew, but Linda has refused. In the end, we feel that we were taken.
Description of Work: Designed and installed a border garden.

Great! My landscape designer Jessica was professional, punctual, and communicated very well. Plus, she was very sweet and friendly! She adjusted the plans several times when I changed my mind and was very helpful in making suggestions that fit my style and budget. Dana and his guys did a wonderful job in removing the old wall, building the new one, and removing a lot of sod so I could plant later on. They did the work over the course of several days in between the rain! They worked extremely hard in the heat and humidity. I am very pleased with the result and will definitely call Perennial Gardens when I'm ready to tackle the old rock wall in the back yard!
Description of Work: Removed existing rock wall along front steps, built new retaining block wall to replace it and extended into front yard, removed sod for future planting beds.
