Most clients rave about Jennifer's landscape vision and her crew's execution. Projects transform cramped, overgrown yards into stunning outdoor spaces with thoughtful plant selection, hardscaping, and personal touches. Reviewers consistently praise the team's professionalism, reliability, and cleanup. One significant complaint stands out: a side walkway installed without proper drainage despite the client flagging a known drainage problem beforehand. The owner declined to rework it at no cost, and the client hired another contractor to fix the slope. Apart from that single install failure, reviewers report beautiful results delivered on time, often within budget, with genuine rapport between Jennifer and her clients.
