Sean O. says, "Raul transformed my overgrown, unruly landscape into a calm, zen oasis. He pruned and planted, cut trees and branches away from the house, and he created rock and flower gardens that complemented the Japanese influences throughout the property. In addition, he built a gravel drainage pathway that mimicked the furrows from the water erosion already on the ground. He added and edged new beds and filled them with black mulch that created a dramatic effect in contrast to the trees, flowers, shrubs and the white house. His rates were reasonable and fair. I paid for the plants and material separately from Raul’s labor. It was a win-win. I interviewed four landscapers for the position and Raul was the only one who articulated a clear vision for the property. As such, it was Raul’s impressive ability to imagine the new space (despite the seeming mess), his considerable skills in managing the range of plants, corralling the overgrown foliage, in conjunction with his unflagging work ethic all allowed him to bring his singular vision to life."See more
