Peace, Love And Landscaping

Landscaping is a set of intensely personal preferences, embodying many styles, materials and components. Wolfe, the Owner, spent time with us to determine our style preferences, including flowers, shrubs, trees, walkways and even the shapes and type of stones preferred. That discussion evolved into a design with pleasing curves, textures and colors and a wide variety of plants carefully chosen to complement the house, deck and patio colors.
The work started with protection of the existing grass and careful positioning of the bin to allow driveway access – all thoughtful details. The street was left clean every night.
The finished product has created a back yard oasis that will enhance our enjoyment of the garden space and the value of our home. Some reviews dwell on the cost of the work – it was substantial. But you only get what you pay for and that included:
• Careful workmanship – protecting existing yard features
• High quality soil mix replacing at least 8" of the existing substrate
• Excellent quality and variety of plant and tree specimens
• Careful preparation of the planting beds
• Artistic placement of rocks and walking stones
• Clever use of bark fill around the swing set, providing a defined, clean, durable and safe play surface
• A visual delight – and happy homeowners
The work took 5 days in total and the property was left clean and neat at completion, far exceeding our hopes and expectations.

Wolfe of Peace Love and Landscaping (PLL) designed and built our driveway, walkway, and porch overlay in May-July 2013. He also designed overall landscaping including plants.
Wolfe is an amazing professional who really loves his job and is passionate about it. He did very good job with his team for us. Our driveway is turning heads and we keep giving people PLL contact info. Wolfe is also a pleasure to deal with and unlike many other people he is willing to honor his warranties and provide free post-install support.
However, PLL was one of the most expensive contractors who bid on our project. When we tell our friends how much did we paid PLL, they are saying we were crazy and had too much money. On the other hand, we paid exactly as much as agreed, there were no hidden costs or other surprises.

If nothing changes, we are planning to work with PLL next year on our side and back yards. So, if you want to give a call to PLL to bid on your project, it’s probably a good idea, but be aware that it probably will be more expensive than you think ;-)
Good luck,
Alex & Tanya
