Working with Sal at Under the Sun Ecological Landscaping was a pleasure. Sal provided us with a clear estimate, along with a nice design for our backyard that we wanted to transform from a neglected space into an urban oasis, filled with native plants, including edible varieties. The work commenced on time, proceeded without problems or delay and finished on schedule too. The workers were courteous and pleasant to have in the backyard and Sal was always responsive to our questions and knowledgeable about the different plants we could choose from. We were thrilled with the final results and now enjoy sitting in our backyard, under the shade of the tree. Working with Sal was so positive, that often we'll remark that it would be nice if Sal worked in other areas (plumbing, renovations--you name it) so we could hire his company to do more work around our home.

Thanks for adding this great review Sarah. Working with you was very easy and fun. I love designs with a wild feel and a strong native plant emphasis. The raised vegetable garden was also a nice feature to include in the design. I hope the sun is hitting it just right and that you're growing lots of tomatoes, salad greens and herbs! I also really appreciated your concern for water drainage into the ground, and thus your choice of the old world cobble for the parking pad, with wide joints that allows water infiltration. The plants you ended up liking were all my favourites! Let me know if you end up needing that gate or anything else for that matter.
Take care, and say hi to the girls!
