Dear Owen and Melanie,
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did
on Glenn's Summerland house. The landscaping was so natural
and beautiful. Also, it gave both of us great peace of mind
to know you were continuing to maintain the property while
we were gone. Thank you so much! We hope to work with you
again some day in the future (when we make it back [to Santa
Barbara]).
Love to you and your family, Deena B.
"It was so good to get to know you. Although
you are a great team, you are also great individuals sharing
sensitive, kind and caring traits. Nancy is very pleased
with the results of your work and I am touched and most
appreciative of how you sensed and were attentive to my
needs. I can't remember (except Nancy of course) when I
have received such loving consideration. I love my pathways
and place in the sun.
Love Alan & Nancy
Dear Owen:
"Thank you for a job well done. You went the extra
mile day after day. You were there with the smile and quick
joke to help make the work go easier. Now, we have a good
idea of what 'Landscaping' means. We are pleased with the
final result and with all of the sensitivity and planning
that goes into your line of work."

has done landscaping for me. I have been pleased with the

Owen,
"I can't imagine doing our landscaping with anyone
other than you - you've helped us be creative, let us be
"hands on" in a wonderfully supportive way - and
you're a wonderful person to be around - what else could
one want! Thanks so much - I can't wait until it all unfolds."

Thank you so much for taking time from your

ReLeaf retreat and was totally amazed and interested in your keynote speech. It was truly thought
provoking...Again let me thank you for an enlightening experience."

"Mr. Dell, Your lecture to the Ventura
Co. Master Gardeners was WONDERFUL! Today as it rained I
wondered how to start harvesting my rainwater. A girlfriend
called today and asked me to help her pick out plants for
her front yard. I will strive to use those which are sustainable
by
themselves. I learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed your
lecture. Hope to attend more after seeing your schedule!" J.H.
