Our mistake, there is nothing tweedy or reserved about Maureen Haseley-Jones, aka The English Lady.” Ian and Maureen, Just to let you know that we are really enjoying your landscape work in our yard this winter. I can't believe what a good feeling it is to see it when I go out, even with the snow on the ground. And the lighting is great at night. Spencer loves it too, he has lots of sights to sniff around and check when I take him out. We continue to get compliments on your work.

With having the plants around the waterfall trimmed back, the effect of the moonlight (full moon) on the cascading water was absolutely breathtaking, gorgeous, mesmerizing!

Your team was great to work with as our landscaping work was done. Everyone was extremely professional and responsive to our needs. Not only did we enjoy the process, but our neighbors did too--you included them in the building process and communicated with them frequently. We can't say enough about how you have transformed our yard. It is a pleasure to come home everyday to enjoy your hard work. We rarely used our backyard before, and now we've gained a whole new outside room! Despite the fact that the work is done, we are very appreciative that you will be following up with us throughout the years to come to ensure that our gardens remain beautiful and healthy! Sincerely, Craig and Heather Middletown - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dear Maureen and Ian- As you know, we engaged your services as a result of the numerous landscaping challenges which our property presented, including maintaining privacy in a busy area, accommodating a new hot tub, and capturing the best views of a brook and waterfall. We want you to know that your design, creativity, experience and vision all blended together to achieve all of our objectives. You listened intently, understood our aspirations, and masterfully implemented a tremendous plan. We had a blast working with you and your entire team showed exceptional professionalism which is so hard to find today. We are continually excited with all the emerging growth and we have never used our yard so much nor enjoyed it as much. It truly feels like we are on vacation in our own back yard. Perhaps the greatest compliment to you, though, is that everything looks as if it always belonged. Keep up the good work! Cheers!

Its absolutely beautiful! I wish you could see the smile on my face when I get home - every thing is WONDERFUL! Thank you so very much! CV- Niantic, CT - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dear English Lady- Thank you so much for our English Garden! You would not believe how many compliments we get on it! I would also like to thank you for working so well around the plants that I had already started-I do get attached, you know. Your staff was very efficient - I could not believe how fast the garden went in. The drip irrigation is a lifesaver, too. They save us a lot of aggravation and time. Thanks again for the lovely garden. Although I love to garden, I don't really have the time. This one is great because it is so low maintenance, all the plants that you put in took, and if I want to add anything to the garden, it will only be a choice plant or two because the garden is already so full!

We met several times and were very pleased. All our desires were taken into account with a detailed final design. The day arrived and many polite, strong workers transformed our front garden into a delightful reality from paper. Ian was on site to oversee the progress as well as install the lights. The lights were an afterthought and we are so pleased. The garden has a soft glow at night as well as enjoyment during the daylight hours. We are pleased. - R&T G, Old Lyme, CT - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Words cannot express how so very pleased I am with the work that has been done. I thought my chin was going to hit the steering wheel when I drove to the back of the house and saw the new walkway - I was in such awe! I had to smile this morning when I lifted the shades in my bedroom to such a beautiful view below! I'm running out of ways to say how beautiful everything is developing. My parents were visiting me this weekend and they too were in awe - they just kept saying one word - BEAUTIFUL! CZ, Black Point CT - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I have nothing to ask and nothing of import to say except I'm a big fan of yours and just love you and your sense of humor. I first became aware of you when you started appearing on WRCH and now look forward to your segments.

Best of luck and success in your business. ~Anne N~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dear Maureen, Thank you very much for all the work you have done on my gardens. It looks beautiful and everything is filling in nicely. I especially appreciate the spring maintenance. The pruning and feeding of all the plants and mulching in all the beds makes such a difference to have it done professionally. Ian did a great job and it has been a pleasure working with both of you. Please feel free to use my name as a reference with any of your prospective clients. Best Regards, ML- Simsbury, CT
