Dear Eric
We would like to provide this unsolicited reference for the work you and Accent Landscape
Creations Ltd. did for us in the fall of 2016. For the record, we have no ongoing business or
personal relationship with you, and in fact did not know you prior to hiring you for
landscaping work.
In summary, we are delighted with the work you, and your crew from Accent
Landscape Creations did for us at Wizard Lake. It was on budget, on time and
professionally done. The result is beautiful, usable, and truly compliments our new
home. Our landscaping job was substantial. It included construction of a significant
feature stone wall (multi-level on a hill), creation of flower and plant beds (some
trimmed with concrete), grading, and planting grass (sod), trees and perennial
shrubs. A significant amount bobcat, back-hoe work and manual labour had to be
done to complete the job. From the start you were professional. You had good suggestions to complement the
design we had in mind. Your quote was accurate and you delivered to the budget
we agreed on. Your approach to contracting was also refreshing - accommodating our concerns. You established a timeline for the work, and completed it on time –
pragmatically working within what our variable Alberta weather conditions
permitted. In our opinion, your workmanship was exceptional. You and your crew were
careful and precise. This is especially true on the stone wall. You built a solid
foundation, included weeping tile to prevent future erosion, and were very precise
in rock placement (which will be important for long-term stability). Sounds easy –
but it is evident that moving these very heavy rocks and placing them so they are
“rock solid” is not. While the work was being done – you kept us informed, and dealt with questions
and concerns we had quickly. You appeased our neighbours, and offered good
suggestions to address challenges that inevitably come with any large job. The
clean-up after the work was done was appreciated, and your follow-up to fix a few
little things after the fact was exceptional. Of all our home building experiences, working with you as our landscaper was the
best. In the future, we wouldn’t hire anyone else but you to address our
landscaping needs.
Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Rob & Patti
