We had our front and back yards completely redone with the main objective to eliminate water-intensive grass without looking like a desert. We also added a lovely, winding, flagstone walkway, flagstone stairs, a rustic cement bench, and a retaining wall. The pathways, trees, and featured plants are now accented by lighting that adds safety and beauty. All of our new plants, as well as the plants on our patio and balcony, are now watered by an automatic drip, so our maintenance time as well as our water bill should be markedly reduced. I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Bob Guthrie and Natural Aspect! Bob is extremely knowledgeable about plants and has many good ideas about yard design. He is very low-pressure and honest; in fact, several times he advised us against adding a project that would have added significantly to his very fair price quote. Bob is also comfortable with people who, like us, have many questions, and he takes a lot of time to explain everything. Bob’s workers are all pleasant and hard-working; I was amazed at how carefully and completely they straightened up my yard and organized all their equipment at the end of each day. They did an especially thorough clean-up on the last day of the project, even rinsing the mulch dust off each newly-installed plant! I am very happy with the way my yard looks, but, to me, the peace-of-mind produced by dealing with a qualified, ethical contractor was equally important!
