koi ponds last fall.  On the downslope side, they took out the ugly river rock and installed retaining walls and planter areas.  There was too much river rock overall, so they removed more rock so that the walkway is just above the water surface.  They brought in native plants from Verne's nursery and planted them around and in the pond and waterfall.  Now that it's spring, the plants have all leafed out and are growing well.  The pond area looks much more natural and we're very happy with the results.  We plan to use Verne this year to landscape and plant other areas of our yard.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div><div class=\"wpcr3_dotline\"><\/div><div id=\"wpcr3_id_3140\" class=\"wpcr3_review\" itemprop=\"review\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Review\"><div class=\"wpcr3_hide\" itemprop=\"author\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\"><div itemprop=\"name\">Carol Mattis<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpcr3_hide\" itemprop=\"reviewRating\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\"><meta itemprop=\"bestRating\" content=\"5\" \/><meta itemprop=\"worstRating\" content=\"1\" \/><meta itemprop=\"ratingValue\" content=\"5\" \/><\/div><div class=\"wpcr3_review_ratingValue\"><div class=\"wpcr3_rating_style1\"><div class=\"wpcr3_rating_style1_base \"><div class=\"wpcr3_rating_style1_average\" style=\"width:100%;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpcr3_review_datePublished\" itemprop=\"datePublished\">Nov 18, 2020<\/div><div class=\"wpcr3_review_author\">&nbsp;by&nbsp;<span class=\"wpcr3_caps\">Carol Mattis<\/span><\/div><div class=\"wpcr3_clear\"><\/div><div class=\"wpcr3_clear\"><\/div><blockquote class=\"wpcr3_content\" itemprop=\"reviewBody\"><p>What he did is magnificent!

He and his wonderful crew created for us stepped waterfalls and adjacent plantings that aesthetically far exceeded anything we have seen from others who do this kind of work -- and at a very reasonable price for the work performed. Verne and his crew spent several days excavating by hand and maneuvering large rocks weighing many hundreds of pounds in an area that precluded use of heavy equipment. There was no easy way to do this work, and it would be an understatement to say that my wife and I are pleased with the result.

The lot is very steep and had been completely stripped of almost all trees and topsoil to create a building pad. Included is a photo of the rock walls and lot prior to construction. Knowing the difficulty of designing an irrigation system sufficient for this oddly shaped, steep lot, I searched for a landscaper up to the challenge.<br \/><br \/>Verne and his crew came highly recommended and I couldn\u2019t be happier with the results. It\u2019s a plus that he deals almost entirely in California native plants \u2026 a bonus for drought stricken California! 40 varieties of plants, shrubs and grasses were used to completely transform this barren lot; I\u2019m very anxious for the blooming season next Spring.<br \/><br \/>Verne and his crew are conscientious, hard-working and very knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to have them arrive every day and they were so very patient with my constant questions! Verne\u2019s services are not the cheapest around town but worth it for the peace of mind that you are getting the best service with integrity. Additionally, Verne called in consulting expertise (at his expense) as he felt necessary.<br \/><br \/>The end result is an artistic approach returning this lot back into the wooded, natural setting it was before construction.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div><div class=\"wpcr3_dotline\"><\/div><div id=\"wpcr3_id_2888\" class=\"wpcr3_review\" itemprop=\"review\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Review\"><div class=\"wpcr3_hide\" itemprop=\"author\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\"><div itemprop=\"name\">Charles Moore<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpcr3_hide\" itemprop=\"reviewRating\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\"><meta itemprop=\"bestRating\" content=\"5\" \/><meta itemprop=\"worstRating\" content=\"1\" \/><meta itemprop=\"ratingValue\" content=\"5\" \/><\/div><div class=\"wpcr3_review_ratingValue\"><div class=\"wpcr3_rating_style1\"><div class=\"wpcr3_rating_style1_base \"><div class=\"wpcr3_rating_style1_average\" style=\"width:100%;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpcr3_review_datePublished\" itemprop=\"datePublished\">Jun 6, 2016<\/div><div class=\"wpcr3_review_author\">&nbsp;by&nbsp;<span class=\"wpcr3_caps\">Charles Moore<\/span><\/div><div class=\"wpcr3_clear\"><\/div><div class=\"wpcr3_review_title wpcr3_caps\">Woodland Meadow<\/div><div class=\"wpcr3_clear\"><\/div><blockquote class=\"wpcr3_content\" itemprop=\"reviewBody\"><p>Verne created a woodland meadow on a sloping hillside that is essentially a small botanical garden.

His knowledge of California native plants and which are the best plants for landscaping our garden made it look beautiful year around. He recently constructed a large stepped retaining wall for our house.

Luckily my wife could, and the unearthing began.<br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/>Many of the granite rocks showed up on site marked with yellow string, which designated a hand-selected rock with a specific placement in mind. It was amazing to watch the movement and dry setting of the rock, as Verne found the perfect spot for their final placement. Like a magician; a little abracadabra of the pond liner, and within days our pond was born.<br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/>All right, maybe a little more work than that; as his team worked for endless hours placing those rocks, moving the earth and finalizing our own unbelievable Verne Pershing Pond Creation. The California Native Habitat landscape capped off the design, many of the plants for which were propagated by Verne.<br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/>After having the pond for a week, we have had the opportunity to look closely at the detail. The rocks fit so naturally into the scene; even the hand-selected rock for the waterfall appears to have eroded by the streaming water over countless years, yet really only in place for a week.<br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/>We would highly recommend a Pond Creation from Verne Pershing, The Art of Gardening.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div><div class=\"wpcr3_dotline\"><\/div><div id=\"wpcr3_id_2880\" class=\"wpcr3_review\" itemprop=\"review\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Review\"><div class=\"wpcr3_hide\" itemprop=\"author\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Person\"><div itemprop=\"name\">Tina Fleming<\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpcr3_hide\" itemprop=\"reviewRating\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\"><meta itemprop=\"bestRating\" content=\"5\" \/><meta itemprop=\"worstRating\" content=\"1\" \/><meta itemprop=\"ratingValue\" content=\"5\" \/><\/div><div class=\"wpcr3_review_ratingValue\"><div class=\"wpcr3_rating_style1\"><div class=\"wpcr3_rating_style1_base \"><div class=\"wpcr3_rating_style1_average\" style=\"width:100%;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpcr3_review_datePublished\" itemprop=\"datePublished\">Mar 3, 2013<\/div><div class=\"wpcr3_review_author\">&nbsp;by&nbsp;<span class=\"wpcr3_caps\">Tina Fleming<\/span><\/div><div class=\"wpcr3_clear\"><\/div><div class=\"wpcr3_review_title wpcr3_caps\">We have been so pleased \u2026<\/div><div class=\"wpcr3_clear\"><\/div><blockquote class=\"wpcr3_content\" itemprop=\"reviewBody\"><p>Our backyard needed a do over. It was all grass lawn, needing so much water that when the drought hit we had to stop watering it (Sadly the yard looked about the same). Verne Pershing and his team designed a beautiful garden that within one year is full of beautiful native California plants. They listened to our thoughts and ideas of what we wanted for our yard, then creatively and professionally put together an amazing plan. They were thoughtful about the ecology of the habitat, both plant and wildlife, as well as our budget. They have a full service of skills. Beyond landscaping, they have built a fenced in vegetable garden and installed sheds with concrete pads. I think my yard looks better then some of the worlds famous gardens.
