"Flora has worked with us as a partner throughout our relationship. During the building phase, they brought imagination and creativity to our landscape as we gave them our ideas and they brought them to life. We gave them our goal to look like Hawaii and they developed wonderful 3D designs of their ideas on which we collaborated together. Their execution of the plan was seamless—they worked with other service providers behind the scenes which resulted in an outstanding result without much oversight from us.
During the maintenance phase, they have continued their partnership with ongoing yard maintenance during the spring and fall and the months in between—always keeping the yard in top shape. They are also very responsive in the event of an upcoming party when the yard needs a little touch up just prior!"
