Garden Angels LLC

Lori Jezik is a dedicated and creative professional. During our first meeting she walked through the wooded area in my backyard to determine if there were any trees worth retaining or whether they should all be removed. Other landscape designers would take the easy (and more costly) approach and simply remove everything to start with a clean slate. I was impressed that Lori took the time to assess the existing landscape before coming up with a plan. Other landscape designers I consulted with seemed to come in with a "cookie cutter" approach to the design. I felt that Lori took the time to understand what I was looking for and worked with me as a collaborator in creating the landscape design. She not only considered how each section of the space would be used outside, but also viewed it from inside my house to ensure that the view from inside was as pleasing as it was outside. Lori is a great communicator. During the design phase she continually brought or sent me pictures to find just the right style. My original intent was to redo both the front and backyard, but due to my company's relocation I was forced to move before completing both projects. The front walkway, patio, and garden beds were completed. Lori managed the completion of all work to my complete satisfaction. I have consulted and worked with other landscape designers and have never found anyone who met Lori's creativity, attention to detail, responsiveness and utmost concern for customer satisfaction.

Wow what a wonderful experience. I have used 4 other landscapers (2 highly rated by Angie's list) through the years but no one compares with Lori. Lori is truly an artist. She came with another landscaper and transplanted 3 shrubs and 1 small tree to a newly created beautiful garden. They kept tweaking the garden until it was truly a work of art. I love my new garden. I am renovating the front of my house with new siding and expanding the stoop and once completed I will have Lori come back and redesign the front landscaping using some of my existing shrubs. I can't wait to see what she creates for the front of my house.

We plan to sell our house later this year and move out of state. To help with curb appeal, I asked Lori to design and install a hillside garden area that had not been well maintained for two years because of my wife's inability to do so, along with the other work. I left to her design, choice of plants and installation. We discussed the work, she created a work plan and estimate, and on my agreement, completed the work well within the time frame she had given me. I thought her fee was reasonable given the scope of the work. She told me her hourly rate, which was less than my lawn maintenance vendor who has not shown a gift for design, but who does a good job at a fair rate on what he does. I have recommended her to a friend who was also very pleased with Lori's efforts.

Lori worked hard , as well as quickly and efficiently. She did the work herself with an assistant, rather than handing it off to a crew, as so many landscapers do. She also came back to run soaking hoses, and give me other maintenance coaching. It was truly a pleasure to work with someone like Lori , who has both artistic vision and landscaping talent. I am really enjoying my garden so much more because of Garden Angels.

Lori is very professional and was a pleasure to work with. She was on time and worked very hard. She listened to my needs and designed a plan that really enhanced our home, using the existing plant material in a more attractive and pleasing way. In addition to creating the gardens Lori will also maintain them. My gardens are now a source of beauty and pleasure and I would recommend Garden Angels very highly.

The complete project went very smoothly and efficiently. From our first meeting Lori was responsive and knowledgeable.
