Leafing Out Professional Gardening BBB Business Review

Testimonials

We hired the Leafing Out team to help us create something lovely out of overgrown gardens that our household could not manage with our hectic schedules. While I enjoyed spending time in our existing gardens, we were several years overdue for new edging, improvements on the perimeter of the property, and generally overwhelmed with all the other things we needed to do to get the place looking nice.

Leafing Out helped us to reclaim and expand on a beautiful drought-tolerant garden. That included a major improvement to our corner lot with some thoughtfully selected new plantings, carefully removed overgrowth, new definition where the yard had started to creep into the gardens, and installing landscaping rock to replace some grass that never quite wanted to thrive.

We also had this team help us with general maintenance of the garden throughout the season, and we are looking forward to having them back next year. Again, we like to spend time maintaining our own gardens, but it was such a huge relief to have help from Leafing Out.

Being able to arrive home each day and just admire the gardens, without the overwhelm of keeping up with it all, has been wonderful. And it’s worth noting that, thanks to expert hands, this is the first year we’ve had three rounds of blooming in our rose garden. From weeding, to keeping the new plants happy, to managing the existing garden - they kept it all in check!

Olivia and her team provide gardening services and ongoing maintenance throughout the Spring, Summer, and Fall. Oliva presented a well thought out plan based on my preferences. She is communicative and thorough, especially given the limitations and challenges with COVID. The Leafing Out team prepared my garden, planted new flowers, came for ongoing weeding/maintenance, and will soon do clean up and transplants as necessary. Thumbs up!

We have had a wonderful experience with Olivia and her team at Leafing Out Professional Gardening. They are very knowledgeable, affordable, reliable and courteous. They listen to our requests while also offering their suggestions to make our yard look amazing. We have been using them all summer and will plan to use them again next spring and summer.

Olivia is awesome! She is very knowledgeable on plants and dealing with garden bugs and other plant problems. She came in and totally put our extensive garden into shape and cleaned out the overgrowth, trimmed the hedges, and discussed with us some ideas for next spring planting all in a timely manner. We will continue to use her as our weekly gardener.

"Olivia and her crew are absolutely professional, knowledgable, punctual, friendly and flexible! I don't have enough adjectives to describe how confident and satisfied we are with their work! It is a big job at ours and they did not seem to overwhelmed. They have done an incredible job and we are looking forward to a long collaboration. We anticipate working with them every year moving forward!"

"Olivia and her crew just re-landscaped my backyard in Wash Park with three sizes of river rock. Since it is already fall, we will wait until late spring to add the plants. She was very communicative both before and during the work, and her work ethic is impeccable. I would recommend her highly, and look forward to working with her again in the spring."

"I've had the very fortunate experience of meeting Olivia and working with her. She's extremely wonderful to work with: very professional and extremely knowledgable. I showed Olivia my inner city condo building's enormous sized and out of control weed bushes and other weed plants. I was amazed at her immediate expert knowledge of their names as well as their future dangers to our building's property if left further left unattended (such as the roots of one particular weed bush eventually destroying our building's concrete from underneath).

Olivia offered different price options for my condo building's gardening need. Her rates are very reasonable for the exceptionally high quality work which she did on behalf of our building. I cannot highly recommend her enough."
