Mary has been doing my gardening for over 10 years. She has become a friend. She does exemplary work. She displays integrity, honesty and a sincere desire to help you grow a beautiful garden. She has done the shopping for the supplies needed when I can't do it. She also has a strong foundation of knowledge about gardening and of flowers. She'll help design the beds too. I trust Mary to do a great job.
Description of Work: I needed planting of annuals, perennials, weeding, and edging of my flower beds done.

Mary was great to work with. She is very knowledgeable about gardening. We talked about what to plant, where to plant and she then recommended the flowers to plant. I had Mary do the planting to make sure that it was done correctly. She also divided some ferns and hostas that needed to be transplanted. My flower beds look fantastic and I think that the beds add curb appeal and value to my home. Mary charges by the hour so you can stay within your budget. I highly recommend Mary if you need gardening help.
Description of Work: I found Mary when I was looking for someone to help me with renovating my flower beds. I wanted to add some color with local perennials, had questions about some climbing roses, and wanted her opinion on transplanting some plants that needed to be moved.

Response from GARDENING BY MARY
I never received a message from Member(Removed members name). I pride myself in returning ALL phone calls within 24-hours. Could it be that the member (removed members name) dialed an incorrect number or that there was a phone malfunction and thought she was leaving a message? Regardless, no message was ever received. Had I received a message, I certainly would have returned her call. It is not fair to give and "F" rating based on the assumption that a message was properly left, when indeed, it was never received.

We were very pleased with Mary and her work. We just bought a house and it had badly over-grown flower beds in the back yard. As first-time homeowners, we had no clue about gardens or weeds or any of that. Mary carefully went around the yard, pointing out what she recommended be done, and we finally decided to have her isolate the flowers and shrubs that were being choked-out by the weeds, then we're having someone come in to do the heavy work of removing the 5-foot-tall thistle and other nasty weeds. After the isolation of the flowers and bushes was completed, Mary very patiently guided us around our yard and explained exactly what we had back there, and her recommendations. Overall, we are very happy with Mary's gardening expertise and we are glad we found her to help and guide us as we try to restore this neglected backyard to its former state.
Description of Work: Weeded flower beds, educated us on care of our garden.

She did a marvelous job for me. I would give her the highest rating. She charged $25 an hour and she probably worked for me about 7 hours. She is prompt and professional. She is everything it says in the ad. She was economical. I will absolutely use her again.
