We have been working with Richard consistently for almost 15 years, and because of Jacrist, we have a beautiful yard! Richard is kind, talented, and hard-working. It truly is a pleasure to work with him. We highly recommend Jacrist Gardening Services.

Everything went very well. The tree were fairly large and Richard helped determine proper placement. Trees were mulched and grass seed spread around the holes. He even came back weeks later to throw down some extra grass seed.

Excellent exceptional work and service. Rick even found repurposed wood to use to construct my planter box, which saved us money and was environmentally friendly!

Plans were discussed and work performed on schedule and at cost. Excellent design and I appreciated Richard's personal supervision of the installation. His design has increased the "curb appeal" of my home!

Initially, we reached out to Richard for a simple backyard garden design. But what we ended up with was much more than we hoped for or even anticipated: a fabulous concrete patio design (both the concrete layout and the incorporated garden beds), front sidewalk design, and side foundation bed. If I were made of money, I?d hire him to do our entire property! He dramatically improved the look of our house. Richard has a very artistic eye, calm and professional demeanor, and trustworthy character. He?s the type of guy one could imagine drinking tea with. He showed up on time for all of our meetings. At the initial meeting, Richard spent over an hour discussing our wants and needs, as well as his suggestions. Further questions that I emailed to him later were promptly and fully answered. After he did the work and I paid him, we discovered that I accidentally overpaid. He hand delivered a check for the difference within a week. At first, the design fee seems a bit steep. But not only is it worth it (you get what you pay for!), it?s also credited toward work done in that year. So in the end, you really are not paying anything for the design, as long as you use Richard? and after you see his design, you?ll use him!
