      I Appreciate Your Kindness

      You will never know how much I appreciate your kindness in sending your guys out to install the recirculation pump for my water garden. It has always been a special place where I love to sit - to enjoy the serenity and the beautiful 'secret garden' you created. My son and i would sit out there, and he would often remark how it reminded him of the beautiful Japanese gardens from his 4 years in Okinawa with the marines. He found serenity in my backyard - Thank you again.

      I Appreciate The Time You Took

      Thanks for coming out today. I appreciate the time you took to explain the irrigation system to me, and even to adjust my lawn mower! The guys did a great job with the riprap & pine straw and I can't wait to see what they do with the flowers. And the dogs are grateful for the grass cutting!

      It Is Beautiful

      As for the whole process from start to finish, we have been very satisfied. You worked with us on the design process and were able to modify it to meet our needs and budget. We appreciate your flexibility and patience! Your proposals were detailed and descriptive. The drawings really helped us see the whole plan. Your employees were professional, polite and efficient.

      Thank You!

      Thank you. I'm glad Paul decided to go ahead and replace all six plants. The other 4 did not make it. I hope you guys are doing well. I have referred you to three people, so I hope that will help with this funky economy we are in. Thanks!

      Extremely Courteous

      Your man was prompt and brought all his tools, stopping on the way back from lunch to pick up the sod. He was extremely courteous and periodically asked my opinion as the work progressed. Even in the oppressive heat that day, he did not stop again until the job was done. He even used some excess sod to repair a dead spot in my lawn. I look forward to working with him on future jobs

      Your Plan Was Exactly What We Were Thinking

      Paul, Thank you for taking the time to meet with Mike about our backyard project. Your ideas were very well thought out and your plan was exactly what we were thinking. We especially appreciated you taking the time to listen to what changes we were looking for and it speaks volumes to your level of professionalism. The overall proposal was good and the price was in line with what we were thinking. Thanks again!

      Professional Approach and Quick Response

      Paul, Thank you so much for the proposal and for speaking to my husband. I was tossed about in tax season and just resurfaced to some sense of normalcy and wanted to send a note your way. My husband decided to tackle the mowing himself after my Dad sent him money to purchase a mower as a surprise. Eventually, the goal is to have the job become my son's job (hopefully- have to keep him off the video games somehow!). I thank you for your professional approach and quick response to my inquiry about rates. You were the most fair estimate that we received. If things change in the future, I will remember your name and call upon you and I will pass your name along to anyone that talks about needing service as I really was impressed with your response. Many thanks again.

      The Quality Is Good and Looks Fantastic

      Calling to thank you and tell you how much Jennifer and I appreciate the work you guys did for us. The finished product speaks for itself. It's very, very well done, the quality is good, and it looks fantastic. We had our first evening out in the backyard and it looks wonderful. Good job!

      Our Yard Is Looking Gorgeous

      I wanted to let you know that our yard is looking gorgeous. The weeds are gone and the grass has grown in nicely. They mowed the lawn yesterday and it now looks like a green carpet.

      Wonderful Ideas

      Good morning! I heard back from so many people that they too were looking for someone to do a combination of landscape and deck design. I already met with the owner [of Leisure Landscapes] who came out to look at our yard and helped with some wonderful ideas. He was really professional and if I had more of a budget I would want to go with him!

      I would recommend you to anyone

      I have decided to lease the property and would like you to continue to handle the IrriGuard and seasonal flowers. The family renting wants to do their own yard work so please discontinue [that]. Your service has always been exemplary and I would recommend you to anyone. I look forward to doing business with you in the future

      They did a great job and it looks fabulous

      Hi. Everything worked out and the guys did our mulch on Monday. They did a great job and it looks fabulous. It's never looked better. Would you thank them for me. We really appreciate the work they did. Thanks.

      Fantastic Job!

      Fantastic job!! Please thank the team who put in our new lighting - it looks amazing! Keith and I came home to a dramatic new look, and we love it. It's not too bright, really highlights the house, and is exactly what we wanted!.

      It came out great!

      I just got back and saw the shed pad. It came out great! Thanks for the super job. It almost seems a shame to hide it with an actual shed! As we consider other landscaping projects, I will definitely be in touch.
