"Buying a lifestyle section seemed like a great idea, until filling it with the plants and trees we wanted started to feel like Mission Impossible! Like a Green Thumbed Tom Cruise, Ivan has saved the day (or the 50-60 days at our rate), by completing our 2 year plan in a matter of days. He understood what we wanted to achieve, sourced what we were after at fantastic rates and kept us up to date on progress. We've just started Ivan on our 3 year plan and highly recommend his services and expertise."
Jason & Jennifer Monopoli, Redwood Valley
