Ann came over to do the initial estimate, and within about 2 minutes had a complete and detailed vision for how the patio should be done. She was able to implement the vision, and it turned out really nice. Her prices were very reasonable, and she also took on lndscaping of the front. My only complaint was that it took 8 weeks to do all this. A lot of it was due to rain, but she also took on way too many clients, had too much going on, and would sometimes disappear for 10 days at a time with no communication. If you dont mind the wait she is really good to work with.

Response from Gardens by Ann Ltd
The $8000 patio, surrounded by a custom built Art Deco style tall trellis and gate, is the crown jewel of this period garden. The property was in post construction condition when we started work. It required extensive drainage work including regarding most of this large lot. Rain day after rain day left it 4 inches under water more than once. During the period of drying out, I did meet my commitments to other clients. It was not possible to do anything until it dried out. The project included brick walkways, stone walkways, a raised granite herb and vegetable garden and planting the entire property with a period garden designed to showcase the renovated 1920's house. Fencing the yard cost us several days. Neighbor drainage problems cost time. The specially ordered dwarf birches were several weeks late because they could not be dug from the frozen ground in Ohio. When they did arrive, they were planted in front of each window to give the illusion of being in a birch forest as the view from the inside. Finally it came time to install the patio. Once that work started, it only took a few days. The trellis was late from the custom builder. It was the last part of this beautiful project. Murphy's Law had been in full force, but I remained in almost daily contact with the owner, who understood but liked the delays as little as I did. I never "disappeared" from the project. It took a great deal of perseverance and professionalism to finish. It is hopefully, now being fully enjoyed by the owner and his wife and children. I have received no complaints.

She is wonderful. She did a huge proposal and I think we are going to contract with her. She hasn?t provided the service yet, but she was really great. It is not only for redesigning the garden, but also for fixing up the irrigation issues we have. Our whole garden gets collected with puddles of water which makes staying on the garden quite impossible. Her proposal was for digging inside and to put something in order to get the water out. So, she has quoted $10000 for the whole thing. She responded on time. The offer came in within 24 hours. When we had some questions, she called us back right away. She spent all the time to answer all our questions. She is agreeable. She has been very professional. She seemed to know exactly what she was talking about and seemed like she could show us the results.
Description of Work: We received an estimate from Gardens by Ann Ltd about two weeks ago for doing our whole backyard since we have some irrigation issues.

We were put in touch with Ann Sulkie by a tree expert who had done work for us. We liked her as a person, and after visiting her website, we loved her work. She is a wonderful landscape artist, and we greatly appreciated her taking her time to come up with the perfect choice of tree and stones. It took several months longer for the project to come to fruition than we expected originally, but we are delighted with the results. We couldn't be happier. We were out of town for a week just after the new tree was planted. She offered to come by the house and check to make sure it had the right amount of water.
Description of Work: We had a 'genetically challenged' honey locust tree that was removed and replaced with a ginkgo tree; in addition, a small stone wall was built behind it to address a problem with erosion.
