She is gone now! This company cannot design and cannot fabricate the art pieces they advertise! All the pictures you are seeing on their profile were created long time ago when the artist was still working for them. > They delivered an ugly wall that looked nothing like their design for our wall they proposed. You can see the proposed design and the resulting wall in the pictures attached to this review > On top of everything, I asked them to refund me my deposit and they are not responding! I paid them $7K deposit money and they are not giving that money back to us!! > This company is advertising services that they cannot deliver. **★★★★★ — HU-7513688, July 2017** > I love my new plant art work! Vertical Garden Solutions were very professional, quick to respond, and created a beautiful work of art with succulents for our home and also my Studio! If you are looking for a beautiful addition to your backyard, home, or professional space I highly recommend Vertical Garden Solutions. **★★★★★ — Karin Sporn, Dec. 2016** > he did such a great job on our vertical garden, to concept drawings, great follow up for billing and great customer service. They provided seamless customer service from start to finish. **★★★★★ — Meredyth Potter, Nov. 2016** > When I decided to incorporate a vertical succulent garden into my front walkway re-landscape project I discovered George Fortier through my research. We met at my house two days after I contacted him to discuss concepts and he provided me with a quote on the spot. In accordance with my project’s timeline he installed the most beautiful and decorative wall of succulents which I personally chose from his nursery. I recommend you contact George with Vertical Garden Solutions for a consultation. He and is staff are very knowledgeable, professional and creative. **★★★★★ — Emran Javadov, Nov. 2016** > We begun working with George and Vertical Garden Solutions almost 3 years ago when we were changing our restaurant location. We had an awesome dream of being able to pick fresh herbs to accent our creative beverages and dishes. > > George helped us turn this dream into a reality! > > He built us two boxes and installed them in our bar as well as two large vertical planters for our patio. > > He continues to work with us through our changing needs by updating and redesigning the planter boxes as well as delivering fresh herbs and other plants on a weekly basis. > > We always enjoy seeing his smiling face and continue to enjoy his creations that bring life and beauty into our place. **★★★★★ — kristine6376, May 2015** > George/Vertical Gardens was a pleasure to work with. As an owner of multiple restaurants, I have had my fair share of nightmares with different subcontractors. George was great from the beginning. He was able to meet with me to discuss my vision multiple times, and he stuck to our strict timeline which was very much appreciated. I am extremely happy with the final product, and George has been great with checking in and keeping everything looking great. ## Selected projects - [Succulent Walls](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/succulent-walls-pj-vj~2601044) - Location: San Diego, CA - Photos: 3 - [Mendocino Farms](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mendocino-farms-pj-vj~2903260) - Location: Del Mar, CA - Photos: 6 - [Project is Travata](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/project-is-travata-pj-vj~2818276) - Location: Irvine, CA - Photos: 5 - Description: This project was done for Brightview, one of the largest Landscape contractors in the world.
