Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value

Ann Arbor Gardens did an amazing job on our private courtyard renovation. The hardscape and landscape had not been cared for by the previous owner so we decided to start from scratch with a redo. From design to demolition to installation, Crystle and her team were wonderful to work with. The work to demo and install the hardscape was complicated by limited outside access to the space, which they handled beautifully, making sure to be respectful of the neighbors and adhere to HOA guidelines. Implementation of Crystle’s design exceeded our expectations. We love our new outdoor space and are grateful to AA Gardens for their great work.

We cannot say enough good things about Ann Arbor Gardens, Crystle and her awesome crew. Our first project with Crystle was at our period home in Barton Hills where there were already established gardens and terraces that had not been well attended to. It was so satisfying to collaborate with Crystle, work on a plan and watch it come to life in a very challenging environment - lots of shade and lots of deer. Her crew came and expertly maintained everything. I was always happy to see them, knowing that everything would be beautiful when they left for the days. We recently built a new home and started from scratch. Crystle has an amazing eye for design, and we once again came up with a plan, collaborated on plant selections, implemented some amazing hardscapes and a pergola - something I never would have thought of on my own. Ann Arbor Gardens comes with our highest recommendation!

Once I found Crystle and her amazing crew I knew I had struck gold. I dare you to find a more knowledgeable and industrious group of gardeners who are inspired and love what they do.

Crystle is a landscape artist! She has provided creativity, vision, and beauty to our gardens. Her creativity in integrating hardscape into nature is truly exceptional. She and her crew have a work ethic and professionalism that shows in every aspect of the project. She is an Ann Arbor gem.

Ann Arbor Gardens is a gem, creating beautiful landscapes that enhance every home. Crystle and her crew are hard-working, responsible and so delightful that you will thoroughly enjoy their company as you watch the transformation of your grounds with designs based on their vast knowledge and experience. My gardens have never looked more beautiful.

I’ve had Crystle with Ann Arbor gardens do my hardscapes and landscaping for my Construction company going on five years. They’ve always been prompt, professional and detailed. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for these kinds of projects to be completed.

I don’t know what I would do without Crystle and her team. Our yard remains the paradise that it is because of Ann Arbor Gardens. Great ideas, readily available, speedy execution, and a joy to work with… Lucky to have her!

We could not have been happier with Crystle and the entire team at Ann Arbor Gardens. First of all, Crystle is just an amazing and lovely person (which is always nice). Second of all, the work done was amazing. We are thrilled with the new look of our landscape and have gotten compliments from all of our neighbors. We also were incredibly impressed with the professionalism of the team. They worked like a well-oiled machine. We had a number of different elements in our build (demolition, concrete pouring, paver installation, boulder placement, planting), and the coordination was phenomenal. As one group finished, the next group showed up - no lags! I would recommend Crystle and Ann Arbor Gardens to anyone seeking to add a gorgeous outdoor area.

Crystle of Ann Arbor Gardens is very competent and trustworthy and excels in the ability to visualize a mature landscape. She was recommended by a friend after a house fire destroyed landscaping around our home.
We started “ground up” and now, after 6 years, I wonder how she knew then what we see now! The front of the home looks gorgeous most of the year (except when snow covers the ground in winter) and has received numerous compliments.
Her services are competitively priced and of the highest quality. Her love for nature and animals is very endearing . I have seen her rescue animals displaced from their homes due to construction and take the time to carefully bury the occasional dead bird she encounters while working, no matter how busy she may be.
Crystle’s passion, enthusiasm, communication skills and creative expertise combined with her work ethic and hard work make her company deserving of the highest recommendation. Led by the best, her team follows suit.

Crystle and her crew are knowledgeable, dependable, fair and extremely hard workers. They have cared for my gardens for over 10 years and they have done an extraordinary job. I have no complaints; I’m sure they are the very best in Ann Arbor. They always do a perfect job and leave the worksite clean. In addition, they are wonderful people. Can’t recommend them enough!

Crystle and her team are totally professional and aesthetically gifted. We had a neglected, overgrown area in our yard—with no ideas for what we wanted—and she suggested something that to us seemed bold but which absolutely captivated us. It is now my favorite space to sit in (inside of our house included!). She and her team completed this rather large job in a very reasonable amount of time and, given the amount of work and materials used, with a reasonable charge and we are extremely satisfied. Highly recommend.

Crystal and her great crew (Ann Arbor Gardens NW) have been our gardeners/landscapers for over 6 years. They are reliable, knowledgeable, professional, and very nice. Bottom line - our yard looks spectacular and they are a major reason.

We highly recommend Ann Arbor Gardens NW.

I write glowing praise for Crystle Partington and Ann Arbor Garden’s work and reputation. Crystle has assembled a reliable talented crew of very hard working people. They are honest, dependable, friendly and efficient. Their work is of the highest quality. I most highly recommend them for any and all landscape installations and maintenance.

AAG did a superb job, completely surpassing expectations. At least as important, they offered feedback, choices, and accurate cost projections throughout, along with advice about which possibilities were most vs. least critical. The gardening staff were also friendly/cheerful, and cleaned up the work site so well every day that you’d not have known they were there, except that everything looked so much better. Highest possible recommendation, based on two years’ worth of projects at this point.
