We want to thank you for being people of complete integrity. By this time in life we have a file full of contractor nightmares. Working with you was such a calm and happy experience. Your crew was friendly and worked so hard! We thank you, Chris & Lisa and your wonderful crew for a perfect finish to our new home! We are happy customers. -Anita & Bob, Montecito Perhaps the most remarkable aspect was your immediate willingness to do things not specified on the written contract-some things not even requested by us but suggested by you (even including splitting some firewood logs!) That also included additional removal of dead and/or unsightly bushes and tree trimming. We also appreciated the fact that Chris was physically here at least part of every day and was intimately involved in the process. His knowledge of landscaping and also his ready flexibility when something other than the original idea seemed possibly better were much appreciated. -Daniel & Donna, Hope Ranch   Dear Lisa, Thank you for making a magical garden and for all of your hard work. I love the garden! You and your crew did a wonderful job and you were "Johnny-on-the-spot" every day. Many thanks for doing such a great job. -Cynthia, Montecito   We are extremely pleased with both the garden itself and the process by which it came about. First, we were amazed at Chris' ability to effectively discern our particular tastes and to visualize a landscape plan for our space that was in tune with what he sensed we'd appreciate and what he knew would be appropriate for the conditions. His guidance was gentle, respectful and yet decisive. We got professional input and frank opinions without being bullied. Work commenced immediately and progressed at an impressive pace. The crew was skilled and amazingly productive day-by-day. Everything was done exactly as promised and even where we were surprised... It was a pleasant surprise. We had lived with basically the same backyard for over 35 years and never suspected it could be this spacious or beautiful. Thanks for everything! -Charles & Jan, Santa Barbara     I have rarely seen such prompt and most professional service. Indeed, I do not see how you could improve on what you are already doing. To think that I came to you at 7:30am about changing some plants and have you drive up in less that 40 minutes with replacement plants!! Fantastic! Thank you, -Frank, Hope Ranch Chris & Lisa, Thanks for taking care of our small problem so promptly. Your service has been wonderful and indeed, beyond my expectations; you have definitely accomplished your goal. Again, thanks. -Chuck, Hope Ranch Dear Chris & Lisa, I will let you tear up my yard anytime you want! The results are marvelous. Your crew was delightful, singing, laughing and hardworking. I appreciate your willingness to listen to my initial misgivings and then designing another plan, which is perfect. Thank you for your talent and competence in completing the plans. Love your radio program too! -Sylvia, Solvang Great service as always, taking on even more responsibility for making everything right than was contracted for. Thank you, -Mary, Santa Barbara Dear Chris & Lisa, You have listened to our desires and maximized what we had with your creative talent and professionalism. You have turned the back of our home into "the strolling gardens of la casa la Gracia". May you continue to bring much joy to others as you have brought to us. With thanks, -Ira & Elizabeth, Santa Barbara We were pleased with every aspect. Good communication before, during and after. Thank you for your attention after when we called. Best aspects were timely, efficient crew, didn't take a long time, Chris & Lisa checked in regularly and overall professionalism. We felt comfortable with Chris & Lisa. They seemed to understand our needs, didn't try to oversell or do too much. Our yard had been just a yard. Now it's an enjoyable garden and we can't wait until it fills in. In the meantime, we are enjoying watching it grow! -Bill & Marla, Santa Barbara       Chris & Lisa were instrumental in a successful service project for Santa Barbara Jr. High. They eagerly donated their time to a Partners in Education project and designed a beautiful space for students and provided the plants at a huge discount. They are both such enjoyable, know- ledgeable & friendly people. Chris came out to the work site before the large group of volunteers to do some of the more difficult work and Lisa was flexible and accommodating to our changing schedule and needs. They have a true passion and contagious excitement for their work. I highly recommend both Chris & Lisa, as do our 20 employees who volunteered with them. Thank you both! -Brennan de Raad, on behalf of the MedBridge Development & SB Jr. High Service Project Any questions you got back to me quickly. You were available, I didn't have to make call after call to reach you. The project ran smoothly and quickly. I had tried another company and after that I had something to compare my experience with Montecito Landscape, you are the best! -SM, Santa Barbara   Copyright © 2011 Montecito Landscape
