                              Creating beautiful spaces in Cincinnati for the past 40 years

It has been a pleasure working with you on the design and landscaping of my front and back yards.  You listened to my suggestions, made some yourself and together we came up with a great look.  I love it!  Your staff is courteous, hard working and very helpful.  I will recommend you to my friends without reservation.  I'll tell them all, that it was "Money well spent"!

--Barb

Let me take this opportunity to tell you how pleased we are with the work that was done at our home this past month...our back yard is fabulous!!!! I actually cannot believe it is the same place.  Not only does it look so much bigger, it is also a beautiful park like setting, well designed, and peaceful to look at.  I cannot wait until spring to see the color.

But really more importantly, I want to tell you how impressed both Chip and I were with "guys on the job"....We are thrilled with the final project and we have had many favorable comments from passers-by.  We will not hesitate to recommend the Druffel team to anyone who needs landscape work. Thanks for a job well done AND more importantly thanks for your great guys.

--Laura and Chip

Just a quick note to say we so appreciate the professional and good work of Cody, Ken and the rest of the crew.  Their daily clean-up and attention to detail was greatly appreciated.

--Jessie & Bill

My wife was very appreciative and impressed with the courtesy, cleanliness, and attention to detail of your workers.

Thanks,

--Jan and John

Dan, I just wanted to let you know that I had my bridge group here yesterday...Everyone went on about the back and how much they loved it.  It really has been such fun for us to use.  It flows so much easier for our family.  So the critics review was quite favorable.  I thought you should know of all the compliments....

--Linda

Judi an I want to let you know how pleased we are with our new landscape, deck and driveway.  It was a pleasure working with you and your employees as well as your subcontractors.  They were courteous and eager to comply with any of our requests.  We have received many compliments from our friends and neighbors.

We appreciate the time you spent with us during the design process. It was most helpful to visit your nursery and choose the plants that would be used in our new landscape design.

We hope to enjoy our new front yard for many years.

--Jeff and Judy

We love the walk and can't wait until spring to enjoy our beautiful yard.  Thank you, for all your help in getting the process to work.  Looking forward to spring!

"Robin and I could not be more pleased with the outstanding transformation of our yard that you, Rick, Cody and the rest of your talented staff provided.

From the initial design talks right through the completion of the project we benefited from your horticultural talent and your professional attention.  Even though the entire project was accomplished during one of the most stressful years weather wise, every single plant is flourishing today.  Robin and I enjoyed one of the most beautiful Springs ever thanks to your design.  The viburnum, the transplanted dogwoods, and the azaleas were spectacular.  We are also very appreciative of the subtle design features, especially the enhanced stone walkways and the way you incorporated the variegated hosta along the rear ivy bed, all the components work so well together.  Your attention to detail is pleasantly obvious.

Needless to say Robin and I look forward to enjoying the wonderful retreat you and your team provided in our back yard.  We are also very proud to receive the nice compliments from both neighbors and perfect strangers about the way the landscape you installed in our front and side yards has dramatically enhanced the appeal of our house."

"I have felt the urge since we moved...to thank you for the many kindnesses you showed me over the years while I tried to nurture that wonderful yard and landscape without nearly the money or the time needed to do so.  You were truly gracious in guiding me, answering questions and helping how you could.  I cherished the special plantings in that yard and the wonderful space they created for our family.  Thank you.

Now I see that our buyer has torn out much of what I tried so hard to maintain.  It makes me very sad, though I am confident she has a wonderful vision and the end result will be extraordinary.  Still, I loved that Jerusalem walking stick, AND that weeping cherry, AND that sturdy pachysandra, AND the blue spruce shrubs, AND that miniature Japanese maple...and now they are gone.

So...once again...thank you for helping me through the years and know that you helped me grow in both knowledge & love of horticulture.

Fondly,

Lisa"

"Amy and I wanted to let you know how much we appreciate the work you and your company executed on our backyard project.  Great Job!

As you know, our project took all summer to complete, which at times looked in disarray.  We knew that eventually, with your assurance, that everything would come together...and it did.  Your site visits and the tour of your facility in Maineville helped a great deal in understanding the correct choices for our project, as well.

Your on-site people did a fantastic job too.  Ours was not an easy job and they handled it beautifully.  Please pass along our thanks to them as well.

We are often asked about our backyard project, which is very satisfying.  I will not hesitate to refer those folks to Dan Druffel, Inc.

Dan, thank you very much for taking on our project and making it a success.

Sincerely,

David Kahn

"As we are beginning to enter the home stretch of our film project,  I would like to thank you for your service and for the patience that you have shown in the face of our many requests.  I would especially like to thank the hard working accounting department....Again, it has truly been a pleasure working with you over these past months."

"Dear Dan,

We are enclosing your evaluation form for the completed work of our terrace, patio, veranda and pergola. 

As you will see from the excellent ratings, we are very pleased with the results.  This letter is to acknowledge the timely process, the professionalism of your subcontractors, the quality and competence of the Druffel employees, especially Cody, Ted and Luis.  Everyone was skilled, polite and a pleasure to work with. 

We appreciate your efforts throughout especially the way you worked with us to resolve features of the design and your expert advice on the selection, procurement and placement of the plants.  You followed through on the details and every aspect of liaison with the subcontractors.

One of the most valuable assets that you provide is your ability to 'broker' services with knowledgeable contractors who respect you integrity and high standards.  That attitude seems to rub off on the and we benefited from the extraordinary teamwork.

Thank you sincerely,"

"Dear Dan,

Wow!  What a great job!  We are so thrilled with the landscaping of our new home.  Your plans were well thought out.  You have given our home a beautiful appearance, and you have accomplished making our new home fit very comfortably into a new neighborhood.  We look forward to spring when we can enjoy your combination of colors and fragrances.  Our lot was certainly a challenge met very well by you and your workman.  It was hard for us to envision that the lot could ever look the way it does.  We have had so many compliments on your landscaping.  We know there were some difficult times with your job being messed up by other subcontractors, but we must compliment you on the way in which you handled it and the positive attitudes you displayed, despite the difficulties.  Your workmen were always courteous and made sure that they cleaned up and made things as orderly as possible at the end of each day, which we greatly appreciated.  We look forward to working with you in the future.  You continue to come up with good ideas.  Thank you for a job well done and for the professionalism shown throughout the project."
