General garden clean up and planting

This is the second year I have used The Garden Girls.
They did general clean up of the garden area, planted some flowers and made our property look nice for summer. They are fast and offer suggestions, when necessary. I had a few issues with some less-then-blooming flowers, not the Girls fault still unhappy with the quality of the flowers that did not bloom

Recommend for sure.

Hi Arlene, Thanks for your review. We do try hard on our cleanups, and we always try hard to please our customers. We cannot always be perfect however. We only buy from 3 local nurseries,and almost all of the products are supplied by the same growers. A Garden Girl stopped by one of the nurseries this weekend we discovered there is a particular mildew this summer attacking the impatients. Perhaps that is why they aren't performing as well. We noticed the supply was very small this season. Perhaps there will be something better once I return home that will fill in the gaps. Have a great remainder of your summer! We will see you again soon.

Backyard Clean-up

Despite the best of plans, spring came and went without making any progress on cleaning up the backyard. While I enjoy my garden, I was feeling quite overwhelmed by the state of the yard and finding the time to do something about it was proving a challenge. So I finally called in the pros. Darla and the "Garden Girls" arrived and within 2 hours my yard was in fantastic shape. I really appreciated how hard the "Girls" worked and also enjoyed the sense of fun they brought to the task at hand. I keep popping outside just to admire how lovely my yard now looks. Thanks Darla and crew, I am looking forward to future projects. As a frequent user of the Homestars site with great success, I am delighted to have found another 10!

Sally, Today I read your review to "The Girls" while working at a very tough "garden makeover". They were so happy to have helped you feel better about your space, and enjoy your gardens again. It also picked up everbody's spirits to do another wonderful job. We are so happy you had us back again, and look forward to your September spruce up for your visitors. Enjoy the rest of your summer outside. Darla, Lucia, Ann, Ruth, Betty, Sharon and Jenny

Spring Clean - Up

WOW! Love these ladies! As a work at home mom of two businesses, it's hard for me to concentrate chunks of time to gardening, and with two kids (one school aged, one toddler) to add to the mix, it's nearly impossible. But I love Nature and its' beauty and my herb patch, so I was so happy to come across The Garden Girls with their Spring Clean-Up service. No major landscaping projects, but major cleaning up, tweaking, cutting back, and edging. Great job, 3 ladies, 3 hours. Boom boom done. No time was wasted, and money well spent. I'm totally using them again! They'll be prettying up my yards and will be doing a Fall Clean-Up as well and get my yard ready for winter.
Thank you so much!!!! Now I can enjoy my yard when I have free time.

Hi Rebecca! What a wonderful review. We loved helping you get ready for this early spring. It is never too late! So glad we were able to get to work at your home. Good luck with your potatoes. Anytime to plant your other vegis you may just need to add some soil in the area. Keep the roses!

Spring clean up.

Darla and her ladies came and cleaned up our "in much need of clean up" garden. They did a wonderful job and were personable and gave suggestions on how to improve our garden. I would highly recommend their services.

Garden Planning and clean-up

The Garden Girls came to inspect the area, reviewed our budget & made a number of viable & realistic suggestions for improvement. They arrived as planned and worked diligently to complete the task, removing all the waste and laying new mulch and sod as needed. For the final touch, they suggested a few plants to help fill out our garden. I was thrilled with their selection, as they found the species, purchased them & planted all for much less than I cold have done it for. I have recommended them to a number of families in the area & will continue to use their services.

Clean and re-build flower beads

The Garden Team arrived and off to work they went, they weeded, edged, added perennials, soil and mulch to finish off the flower beds. They made great recommendations on what types of flowers to add and even picked them up for use on sale at a local nursery.

Please keep in mind that all of the work was done with love and care and all by hand....awesome :)

We've recommended them to friend already and we look forward to the Garden Girls coming back this spring to help use out again!

Fall yard cleaning

I met with Darla to inquire about yard maintenance. As we had moved to a new house with an existing garden, I had a lot of questions. She was friendly and helpful and able to answer all the questions I had!

I asked the Garden Girls to "winterize" my yard this past fall, and they did a great job. I will be asking them to continue working on my yard in 2012!

Create and plant front and side gardens.

We heard about the Garden Girls from two neighbours and friends. We had been wanting to find someone trustworthy, and experienced to create and plant gardens at the front and down the side of our house. Darla and Lucy came to discuss what we wanted, and then did up a layout and price estimate and sent it to us via e-mail. They soon got to work, and we couldn't be happier. They did a fantastic job, and even went and picked up all the necessary materials and bushes and trees needed. They even picked up shrub covers for our little trees that needed protection over the winter, and came and installed them also.
In short, the Garden Girls are tops in my book and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone and everyone . With spring just around the corner, I look forward to working with the Garden Girls on spring clean up as well as further projects. They're the best.

What could this company do to improve their services?
Their service is excellent, they are there when they say they will be there, and their work is great. I can't think of anything more they could do to satisfy their customers. I give them 10+
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
Yes I do..."CALL THE GARDEN GIRLS"
