Rob is a true professional; from initial concept through design, planting and construction, he's very much involved with developing and ensuring a beautiful and successful final product. In addition, he is extremely knowledgeable, very creative, and ultra responsive. Since completing our initial design and plantings in 2016, Rob has returned to our home no less than six times to answer questions, review progress, and provide input. In addition to our landscape design, he also provided landscape lighting design and installation services.

We have chosen to work with Greencraft Associates for the past year or more, and they continue to provide us with excellent service and lots of good ideas. --- We have been lucky to consult individually with both Rob and Trish on a series of different kinds of projects that have included design and implementation as well as follow-up on how to optimize maintenance over the long-term. --- In one realm, we have been very impressed with their professionalism and knowledge in creating and expanding a landscape design within a very natural meadow-and-forest setting... And in another project, they have demonstrated their breadth of experience by creating a beautiful design for a more formal flower-garden setting. --- We highly recommend Greencraft Associates because of the knowledge, experience, and expertise that both Rob and Trish bring to any project that they engage in... And they are both people whom it is a pleasure to work with!

Plain and simple Rob and Trisha are a joy to work with. From design, implementation, to weekly care. They love what they do and the results show it. We hired them for our overall landscape design, BBQ's, fire pits, flower and veggie gardens and potted plants ( indoor and outdoor).

Commented: Name of the wooden pods with holes in themYes, those are lotus pods. These have a coating of moss on them and they are dried, so they last a long time. They grow in ponds, but you can buy the pods from any craft or floral supply shop.

Commented: Do these flowers also help to keep pests away?Yes! They are African Marigolds which emit the chemical thiopene from their roots. Thiopene has been proven to repel nematodes, which feed on the roots of plants like tomatoes.

Commented: What material are the silver ornaments...painted plastic?They are indeed plastic; that's all I use outdoors.

Commented: To put greenery in planters for Christmas do you need dirt in pots?Yes, or you can use Oasis cubes (from a florist) for indoor greenery arrangements. The cut fresh greens still need water to stay fresh.
