"We updated our entire backyard that had only gravel and ice plant. We chose The English Gardener (Phil Turner) to provide professional landscape design services. We had some ideas, and Mr. Turner was able to work with our vision. He took our ideas, made suggestions for improvement, and offered multiple design options that would suit our needs and budget. We joined him at various nurseries where Mr. Turner's knowledge of plants allowed us to make appropriate selections. The English Gardener will instruct you on the care and maintainence of your plants and irrigation so you can be responsible for your investment. We acheived our dream backyard. If your dream has yet to be realized, call the English Gardener."

"When we purchased our home in Rancho Santa Fe, we also purchased some very tired and dog-eared gardens. Philip helped restore the property to its original splendor and did so with a knowing hand and discerning eye. He paid close attention to all the detail and the finished product was breathtaking. He worked his magic on everything: a rose garden, numerous containers, citrus trees, large lawns and all the beds. He brings a depth and breadth of experience to his work that is invaluable."

"Philip Turner, 'The English Gardener', has performed many services for me in the last year. He and his crew performed a complete maintenance of my slope of tropical plantings and palms that were sorely in need of help. When he was done, the transformation was remarkable. I didn't hesitate to use him again when it came time to plant more expensive specimen trees on my property. They look great and I believe it is due in large measure to the care Philip and his crew used in the plantings. Philip is open to input from his customers and does a first rate job. He is also knowledgeable about planting materials and the like and how to use them. There are several projects that I plan on using him for in 2005 including some re-designs of my front yard and plantings of some other specimens in my backyard."
