Gardening with Jenny

I just had a really great consultation with Jenny about the work and design she could do for my family member's garden. I'm not local, but she explained everything very clearly and her prices seem reasonable. The photos of her work over the years are gorgeous.

We had a very pleasant experience with Jenny from Gardening with Jenny landscaping.
She had come over to discuss our project, had many great ideas, sent us a very reasonable quote and we were happy that she could schedule us in for installation within 3 weeks. Her process is simple yet she listens to our wishes and we feel that we have not only got a beautiful garden installation but had great time watching the progress while working in our backyard. They are detail oriented and reliable, easy to communicate with and I truly had a great experience and can recommend them to anyone whom values a hard working and artistic approach. Thank you Jenny for the beautiful backyard area you and your small team created us!

We hired Jenny two years ago to do extensive landscaping in Cambridge and to install a back lawn which was mostly gravel following house renovations. We were away when she and her "team" did the work, and when we returned, the "new" lawn was seeded and generally everything looked OK. After the sprinkler ran for a few days, we noticed that most of the dirt had washed away and there was just the same gravel below it. There was no more than an inch of loam thrown over the gravel. next we noticed that extensive weeds and grass was sprouting up in all the flower beds, and some of the bushes which she replanted in dark areas started to die. When we looked behind our garage, there was a huge mess of broken bricks, stones and brush piled up. Her work was so bad and incompetent that the whole project had to be started again. We will have to take legal action and it is exhausting.

This is a long overdue review for Jenny's landscaping work. About a year ago, we hired Jenny to fix the lawn of our new home. It was new construction so the grass was patchy and uneven, with tons of bald spots and weeds. She quoted $2,500, saying she could fix the grass so it was nice and even (albeit not a golf course), her ratings seemed positive on other websites, and we love supporting women, immigrant owned businesses, so we went ahead and hired her. She came twice. Her incompetence bewildered us. Her landscaping consisted of throwing down some grass seeds and planting a few flowers in the front yard. She was supposed to come back and see how the grass was doing, but never did. All the while she was working, she never once took off her personal, messenger bag. She came alone, not with a team of landscapers; for the amount we paid, we expected a few more people. $2,500 essentially thrown away. Horrid experience, stay away.
