Bradley Aesthetics

All went well (except for the weather) and we were able to get much of the landscape in and most of the hardscape. Since we contacted Bradley's so late in the season, we will wait and finish the rest of the perennials in the spring. He kept in touch with us and worked when the weather allowed managing to get more done than we expected since it was getting so close to winter. Aaron is knowledgeable, very easy to work with and charges a fair price.

We started with a husband who just didn't understand why the woody, overgrown bushes in the front of the house couldn't be saved. And ended with a man who is so excited about the new look, he is even giving up his pruning shears for good (thank heavens!). Aaron created a drawing for his proposal for an overall plan for our lot. It was then broken up in sections to be done over a period of time. He removed old material and prepared the soil for the new plantings; selected an aesthetically pleasing variety that would enhance the curb appeal; created small areas of stone blocks for large urns which will be changed on a seasonal basis; designed a timed sprinkler system for the area right by the house to help with watering issues; saved and replanted items when possible (in other locations on property or in new area); mulched all beds; and cleaned up each day before he left. He does have others that work for him in the actual work, but is not afraid of doing it himself, too. He is very personable and has great ideas that individualize one's home from what's normally seen in the neighborhood. He will be coming quarterly to change out annual plantings which will keep the overall appearance fresh. He also has a maintenance plan which we will be utilizing for continued care of the shrubs and other perennials and which will include necessary trimming, fertilizing,etc. We will be doing another part of our yard next summer and again the following year. He is willing to work with us in that way as we are retired and must fit it in our budget. I can't say enough how pleased we were with Aaron Bradley! His suggestions were excellent and he listened to us. It has been a wonderful experience which we look forward to repeating in the spring.
