We got the help with landscape design that we needed, within our budget, and felt completely understood when discussing our thoughts and needs. The crew did a fabulous job, were polite and professional, and did their job exceedingly well. They worked efficiently and nothing was out of place when they left the property. > Communication was great with questions being answered promptly and thoroughly. > > I am looking forward to future projects with Sylvan Gardens and would recommend this company to everyone. **★★★★★ — Caitlin Irion, Sept. 2020** > Working with Sylvan was great! Out of all the other companies I received quotes from, I'm so glad I chose Sylvan. The guys on the project were all equally accommodating, kind, knowledgeable, and hardworking and they graciously and patiently worked with me through all my questions and indecision. I would say the same about the customer representative I worked with - plus, his communication was always super thorough and very prompt. Throughout the process, I felt like I could be completely comfortable being honest - they were always willing to partner with me to figure out a solution that suited everyone. Overall, I'm really pleased with the project! **★★★★★ — HU-150229341, May 2020** > Excellent service. They communicated the entire time throughout the process and also quoted an extremely fair price.

I would love to create this design. Thank you. A: High to low, that's Coleus, Greenleaf Pink Begonia and Lysmachia. Thanks! **Q: Hi were can I find this type of block in this color** *(in Photo Questions)* Hi Iam looking for this type of blocks in this color. A: I'm not sure of a phone number, but they have a contact form on their site that should be a good way to reach them. https://www.lampus.com/contact-us **Q: Shrub** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the tall shrub in this container called? A: Hi jh27, the shrub you see is actually a very young Emerald Green Arborvitae. It is not a dwarf specimen, just a very young one. That new foliage is actually somewhat similar to a Hinoki Cypress, but it will fill out differently as the plant matures. You can learn more about it here. Thanks! **Q: Can you please give me the name of the purple flowers? Thank You.** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you please give me the name of the purple flowers? Thank You.
