Description of Work: They did a cleanup of our one-acre, many garden areas, property in preparation for a large backyard party we were hosting. Barbara Nesbitt is professional and her workers are diligent. Barbara suggests creative ideas for using materials available for enhanced aesthetics. It was a splurge for us to use Garden Restorations, but we are glad we did.

Description of Work: Quality was excellent and they were very knowledgable. Much confusion about added items, costs and billing. They invoice by hand written sheets which leads to errors.

Description of Work: In April, a crew cleaned up the gardens, edged and mulched the beds and trimmed bushes. In the ensuing months, one person came out to weed and trim stuff.

Well
Description of Work: I had submitted the 'F' review based on not receiving a call back. The next day Barbara called me to say she had been quite I'll and was unable to return calls. I found her call refreshingly professional and I want folks to ignore the original 'F' posted

Garden Restoration maintains our property (a little over an acre of land). They first came in 2005 and took an overgrown nightmare of weeds and vines and turned it into a beautiful park with a walk-through garden for meditation (using the cobblestones that I had fallen in love with and then never figured how to use) . They come throughout the summer to clean up the weeds and put in plantings. They also do our clean-ups (Spring and Fall). They put down mulch at the beginning of the summer - 24 yards of it!. The entire crew is wonderful and Barbara is very creative with rock and stone.
Description of Work: We have a little over an acre of land. They removed weeds (major job), put down Preen, pruned bushes, inspected the bushes and trees to let me know which ones might need some help and gave suggestions for plantings in the future. They will come again in October to do the major clean-up and move a very large mound of wood chips from a tree that had to come down.

Barbara delivered everything she promised and more. When she came out for her initial visit and estimate, she listened to my problems and ideas, and described in detail what she thought should be done as we walked around the property. After she showed me her portfolio of both large and small jobs she has done, and included photos of her own beautiful garden, I knew right away that her taste meshed exactly with what I had always imagined for our home. She was forthcoming with her labor charges which are firm, and explained exactly what we'd be getting: a hard working skilled crew of at least 5 each day under her expert supervision. We are thrilled with her work: our house went from "The Beverly Hillbillies" to Main Line Tasteful in a matter of three days. She's a great person, too, whom I would recommend to anyone. And she emphasizes that NO job is too small.
Description of Work: Barbara and her expert crew completely renovated our existing "garden", utilizing many of the existing plantings and materials we already had, transplanted several shrubs, created a flagstone stepping stone walkway from the front of our house around to the deck, weeded, mulched and improved the soil in all our beds, used natural stone from our own property to create borders, transplanted several shrubs, expertly pruned and divided everything, and created a new planting around our deck. They also used white stone to create a rock garden effect in a small problem area between our new front walkway and our driveway.

They did an outstanding job, as they always do. They generally work at our home four or five times a year, doing a combination of maintenance and new planting. Barbara will work with me to transform a part of the garden, listening to my thoughts, adding her own, and then bringing in the crew and plant material to get the job done. The costs vary according to what the job involves, but I always feel that it is reasonable for the quality of the work that is done. It's a great pleasure to work with her and her entire crew, all the more so because she and her staff are literally making it possible for my husband and I to remain in the home and landscape we love, but are no longer physically up to maintaining ourselves. I highly recommend this company for all your landscaping needs.
Description of Work: Barbara Nesbitt and her staff have been restoring, refreshing and maintaining our home landscape for quite a few years. Today's visit was for a midsummer cleanup, which involved extensive weeding and pruning, and took four talented, careful workers most of the day to do.

Barbara returned my initial call promptly. Scheduled site visit. Reviewed area. Showed portfolio of previous work. Discussed options for us. Explained pricing and service team. Barbara and her team were reliable and professional. She insured continued communication with me and my husband throughout the process. The finished product exceeded our expectations. It looks like a true garden oasis. I would recommend using Barbara and her team for any landscaping project. She will transform your garden.
Description of Work: Cleanout overgrown, undeveloped area of back yard. Designed and installed complete new garden landscape with stepping stone path, perennials and annuals. Landscaped area is 3x's the original path.

When Barb first came to my house to talk about what I wanted and get an estimate, she really listened to what I said. She had ideas on how to improve things and what would look good, but she also took into account what I said I liked. She came up with a plan to drastically rework the garden, using plants we already had as well as a couple selected new shrubs, that would keep our costs within my budget. I changed my mind about some things a few days before we were scheduled to do the work, and she came out and talked with me and we came up with a new plan. Then on the day of the work, there were a couple of snags with underground boulders and wires, and she came with ways to work around them and make everything look very artistic. There was an old azalea that we were planning to junk, but on the day we decided it might do better in a shadier location, so she found a spot and dug a new bed for it. She and her crew worked very hard and did an outstanding job.
Description of Work: Barb and her crew dug out most of the old shrubs along the front of our house and walkway, reshaped the bed, replanted with new and transplanted shrubs and additionally some divided hostas from an overcrowded bed, transplanted an azalea to the side and made a new bed along the side fence, and mulched everything! Lots of work done in one day! (Oh and they moved some BIG rocks around to put in the gardens for aesthetic effect too!)
