CREW FIENDLY, LIKEABLE, GOOD WORK ETHIC. BACKFILL OF SOIL/MULCH BETWEEN PATH STONES WAS LEFT TO BE DONE WITH LANDSCAPING 3 MONTHS LATER. BY THEN STONES HAD MOVED, LOTS OF ADJUSTING REQUIRED TO TRY AND GET BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS WHEN ORIGINALLY LAID. THE SOD STRIPPER THEY BROUGHT WITH THEM HAD PROBLEMS, WHICH WERE CONFOUNDED BY THE HARD CLAY SOIL HERE.

 + -1 moreHILARY RESPONDED PROMPTLY TO MY REQUEST FOR A QUOTE. SHE HAD TO RESCHEDULE HER FIRST SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT, BUT WAS THERE PROMPTLY THE NEXT TIME. SHE WAS VERY THOROUGH, AND PROVIDED A DETAILED ESTIMATE AND PLAN FOR SODDING AND LANDSCAPING. THERE WAS AN $80 FEE FOR THE GARDEN PLAN (SHE WAS ON SITE FOR ABOUT 90 MIN. THE ESTIMATE WAS HIGHER THAN WE HAD HOPED, AND WE GAVE HILARY A CHANCE TO REDUCE THE SCOPE AND PRICE. SHE DETERMINED THAT SHE COULD NOT GET AN ADEQUATE PLAN TO MEET OUR LANDSCAPING BUDGET (ABOUT $1,000 FOR ABOUT A 350 SQ FT AREA), AND WE DECIDED NOT TO PROCEED. I WAS HAPPY WITH THE PROCESS, HOWEVER.
