This was my first time having my yard landscape. I had several quotes and offers. Although, the quotes were very similar in price, there was just something about Jeremy. His manuersim and attentiveness stood above the rest. Even though, he was booked out 2-3wks, he kept in constant contact with me about my ideas. He never hesitated about my questions, and was always willing to give me ideas and suggestions. We always look for doctors to be professional in their field, but we also look (at least I do) for them to have bedside manners as well. Someone, who's willing to take care of you because they care and not because they're getting paid. Well, that's the type of character Jeremy Fisher possesses. His work is done from the heart, and it shows. I will definitely be reaching out to him, to complete my other projects, such as replacing my decking, beautifying my shutters, and my annual landscaping. My husband, is more of a critic than I am. He had absolutely nothing bad to say about our experience, and that says a lot. Again, we thank you and look forward to our future endeavors.
