Dear Sir or Madam; I would like to express my satisfaction with the landscaping job that Crenshaw Landscaping completed for me just before Christmas. In particular, I am extremely impressed with the level of customer service from Scott Johnson. There were many headaches with the concrete shortage, and with the concrete cracking and with the gap under my gate. But Scott went out of his way to insure that a quality job was done and that I was satisfied with the results. He was always available to discuss issues or concerns I had, which was very impressive since I was only home on weekends. His vision, talent, attitude and work ethic are exceptional. I love the look and feel he has created in my back yard. It is so beautiful, peaceful and relaxing. It’s hard to explain how much stress can be relieved by having beautiful landscaping to sit back and enjoy. It is everything I expected and more.

Sincerely,

Debra Adams

To Whom It May Concern: Peggy and I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know how pleased we were with you company’s landscape work and especially the design work before the job was started. New home landscapers do not go to the trouble of laying out the plants on paper for the homeowner’s approval, they just throw in the plants wherever. Scott M. Johnson met with us several times before the project began to show us some of his design ideas and get our input on just what we expected the property to look like after it was completed.

Thanks for your design input and expert installation. Your company does an excellent job and we really appreciate the extra effort you took in providing us with first class landscaped property. The entire house took almost a year to complete but when your landscaping went in and your men cleaned up the area after they were through we felt like we were almost home.
We just love it.

Dear Britton:Thank you for a great and wonderful team you have put together. I mentioned to Scott today that life is too short and I’d like to surround myself with people that I am comfortable with and that I can trust. I can say that about Crenshaw Landscapes. Scott, Sid and the crew all have their own skills and talents to contribute to the beautiful design and execution of the project.

My husband and I absolutely love everything your team has done at our home in Riverstone – the front and back landscapes, the rock garden, the night accent lighting, the walkway and nice large sitting area. The arbor with the night accent lighting in the courtyard that Scott designed just reminded us of a small café bistro in Italy. Scott’s talent has made our dream come true. We traveled a lot and love to travel but we feel that we are now living in a 6-stars resort property. We can just take vacation in our own home.

If you would like to use us as a reference in your future jobs, please do not hesitate to call us.
Regards,

AN

Dear Scott,
I wanted to share this with you (since we had talked about this). I can’t tell you how excited I was to see this in our Sienna newspaper. I was totally surprised! It just happen to fall on the weekend my sister came in for a visit (from Washington state). My whole family was over for a big dinner. They all had to take pictures of me in front of the sign. The back yard to me is the most beautiful. My brother snapped more pictures back there. My sister continued to talk about it (especially those palm trees) the whole time she was here. Thank you for your help in receiving this award. I’m a believer!
Your friend,

Margaret Armstrong

Britton, We wanted to drop you a line to let you know how pleased we are with the completion of our new landscaping. We have had numerous compliments. Everything is starting to blossom and has added beauty to our home. The service was A+ from beginning to end.
Scott was enjoyable to work with, and always maintained a great attitude to please. He returned pages within 5 minutes, and made himself available whenever needed. We would highly recommend your company to anyone who wants to work with professionals who care about doing the job right.
Kindest Regards,

Larry & Sonya Bagwell

Thank you again for a job well done!

Scott:

Enclosed is our payment for the outstanding invoice #3929 and the balance of the sod payment on #3898. We appreciate your patience. As you know, it had been our plan to have Jay Mullen pay you as he had promised us, but he has still not been “available” to either call me or to sit down with us and finalize everything. It is not fair to you to be waiting for payment and therefore we are going ahead with this check for the remaining amount.

Scott, we want to say again how pleased we are with everything you did and for Sid’s work as well. We do have a few plants behind the waterfall that aren’t looking very healthy but maybe that is the time of year. Most of the begonias and zinnias (?) never really did well either but that may be a seasonal issue as well.

What really impressed us was that you all did what you said you would do, when you said you would. We wish that were true of all the businesses with whom we have dealings.

Thanks again, and we wish all of you at Crenshaw Landscapes a happy and blessed holiday season.

Sincerely,

Kathy Benson

Dear Scott:

This letter is to express how delighted we are with the completed work on our backyard. The design and selection of plants has enhanced our backyard better than I could have imagined. After several weeks I can say that there is not one thing that I would change – this speaks volumes coming from a woman! Any type of home renovation is always disruptive but your crew did a terrific job of keeping that process to a minimum.

I especially appreciated the service we received from you personally. Randy and I feel that customer service is seriously lacking in so many arenas but our experience with Crenshaw Landscapes has proven otherwise.
We both consider our new backyard “money well spent”!

Sincerely,

Kelly Bright

Dear Scott,

Yes, we are very pleased with Crenshaw Landscapes once again. Over this past weekend, with all of the rain, the drainage was the “greatest”. We are very pleased with your design for the front of our home. We think the most attractive of all.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Burgess

Dear Scott,

Blake and I want to thank you for the beautiful job that you did. You transformed our backyard into the tropical paradise that we dreamed about. We can not wait until the Spring so that we can enjoy our backyard even more. You and your crew were a pleasure to work with; we look forward to working with you in the future.

Thanks so much!

Dear Scott,

Many thanks to you, Sid and your entire team for the beautiful landscaping job you just completed for us. Kim and I were impressed with your level of expertise and professionalism from our first meeting. A high expectation was created in our minds of how you could transform our 16 year old landscape that was not only dying of old age in some cases, but had become overgrown and tired looking. You listened patiently, incorporated appropriately, and thankfully advised against some of our thinking into your design and plant selections. This level of collaboration and concern for our perspectives extended to your team during implementation when we began to see your design come alive, and then through the end of job when the full appreciation for your vision was realized. Our front yard landscaping now enhances our home rather than detracts, and our backyard landscaping beckons us to spend more time there.

We are very pleased with our selection of Crenshaw Landscapes and we would highly recommend your company to anyone who wants the maximum value and benefit from their landscaping. You delivered on the expectations that were set, and simply did what you said you would throughout the project. Thank you for being one of the few service providers who truly follows through.

Best regards,

Rob & Kim Calvo

Dear Sirs:

Now that we have moved into our newly built home, completely landscaped by you, we want to let you know what a pleasant experience it has been working with you. We were impressed right away with Scotts’ creativity and practicality in the designing of our landscape and upon your completion of the project we were absolutely thrilled with the results. The grass was lush and green, the flowers were blooming profusely and the layout was even more beautiful than we had imagined.

Since then, the vegetation has continued to thrive; our yard is a great source of enjoyment to us every day. I especially have had fun with my vegetable garden which is both attractive and productive!

The Crenshaw Landscapes crew has always been most helpful, friendly and accommodating.
They all keep appointments and return calls quickly, which I find to be a rare characteristic in most businesses. Thank you for living up to the high standards you set for yourselves. We can see why you are such a successful company!

Sincerely,

Sharon & Alan Chavelek

Dear Crenshaw Landscapes, Thank you so much for the work you completed Christmas week (our backyard playground and beds). It looks marvelous and you worked around Santa and the elves perfectly. Stop by (once the grass perks up) and take some show-off pictures for future customers!

Thanks again,

Kelly & John Cummins

Scott,
Thanks for the palms and trellises. You have turned our pool into the look we wanted.

Dear Scott and Britton,
The trees look great! It is with great gratitude that I thank you for your assistance in resolving our issue of replanting trees on the school property adjacent to the homes in the Enclave at Bridgewater. What has taken us a year and a half to resolve has finally come to a favorable end. We appreciate your patience and expertise in designing and planting the trees to meet the needs of everyone involved. Your willingness to help us from the beginning is greatly appreciated. From the initial design to the final stage of planting the trees, your professionalism was outstanding. It has been great to work with such wonderful people! Thank you for a job well done.
Thanks,

Dear Scott,

As our representative from Crenshaw Landscapes, I would like to thank you for our fabulous covered patio and backyard landscaping. We use it everyday and are thoroughly enjoying sharing it with family and friends. Some have commented that our backyard made such a total transformation that it could have been on a home improvement show. What a nice compliment to Crenshaw Landscapes!

Also, We so appreciate your professionalism from the original sketches to the final plant and rock as well as your attention to detail in the middle of an historic summer of non-stop rain. We were always able to get in touch with you when we had a question or concern. This is such an important aspect of customer satisfaction.

Another big plus was that all of the crews knew their jobs and did them expertly. They worked hard and long in often times very hot and undesirable conditions. The workers were pleasant and helpful in all of our interactions with them even when we sometimes didn’t speak the same language! The whole process from start to finish moved very smoothly, and we know that we can count on you for future consultation if needed.

Again, thank you so much for the addition of a greatly loved “outside room” to our home. We look forward to having opportunities to recommend Crenshaw Landscapes to others in the future.

Sincerely,

Jerry and Kay Ernest

Ken and I would like to thank Scott for our beautiful landscaping and also to the crew who did the installation. All the work was first rate and professionally done. The final results exceeded our expectations and that says a lot! We particularly like the water feature Scott designed for our backyard. I’m sure we will enjoy it for years to come. Thanks again for a very positive experience.
Best Regards,

We are very pleased with the outcome of the landscaping renovation. Scotts’ design is creative and he is gifted at bringing different opinions into a unified scheme. Victor is a focused and diligent worker who implemented the design exactly. Please feel free to use us as references for any prospective customers as we are very satisfied.

Dear Scott,

Thank you very much for a job well done. We never imagined our landscape could look this good. And thank you to everyone at Crenshaw Landscapes for doing such an outstanding job and working so hard to give us our dream yard.

Scott, you’re a very talented designer – the proof is in the yard! You took the time to listen to what we wanted and explain what we didn’t understand. That, plus your confidence along the way, made working with you a pleasure. The whole job was planned, executed and finished in a truly professional manner. It’s amazing how good it looks and how fast everything is already growing. The transformation is beautiful. Most of our neighbors have already commented about how much they like your work.

Again, thank you very much. We look forward to spending more time outside enjoying our new surroundings and watching the landscape mature over the years to come.

Sincerely

Paul Henrichsen & Nikki Henrichsen

Scott:

I want to express our (mine and Marti’s) sincere appreciation and satisfaction with the planning and execution of your landscape design for our backyard. This last design of yours has exceeded our expectations tenfold!

Beginning last January, when we first began our discussion with you about our idea for a lap pool and backyard landscape upgrade project, you have been amazing. Your recommendation of Custom Outdoors for the lap pool design and construction was an excellent one. Then, when Custom Outdoors completed their work you stepped right in with a design that melded smoothly with your 2007 flagstone patio design and accentuated our new pool, spa, and outdoor kitchen.

Your plant selections are superb, providing the visual appeal we want while addressing our restrictions and daily/weekly required upkeep efforts.

Throughout our project you have been very responsive to our requests and changes in your scope of work. I especially appreciate how quickly you responded to my request to install a French drain by our Master Bedroom exterior wall. That drain will certainly keep water from passing through the brick wall weep holes!

Everyone who has seen our backyard has been very impressed. If I have heard this once, I have heard it twenty times “your backyard belongs on HGTV!”

Please consider Marti and me to be VERY satisfied and happy Crenshaw Landscapes clients! This letter is an unqualified endorsement of Crenshaw Landscapes.

Next project will be the Front Yard.

Regards,

Chuck Hewell Captain, USN (RET)

Dear Scott,
It is with bittersweet feeling that I write this note. We absolutely love the backyard you created for us, but I think we enjoyed the process even more. You were so much fun to work with. Your energy and excitement, along with your knowledge and ability to visualize what you created was amazing.
Thank you so much for becoming a part of our lives.
Sincerely,

Cindi & Pat

We look forward to talking with you about getting our backyard landscaping underway real soon!
