Gardens of the Wine Country is owned by husband and wife team Alan & Lenore Kostelnik, combining a 30 year relationship with over 60 years of landscape design, installation and management experience. He and his staff design, build, maintain and manage upscale and high end residences, estates, winery grounds and inns. While he's a savvy businessman, his first love is helping plants grow and to realize an artistic vision.
Gardens of the Wine Country provides complete landscape services including design, installation, irrigation, lighting, water features, hardscape, maintenance, repairs and arbor care. They're attentive, pro-active professionals, not a “Larry and Curly mow, blow and go” operation.
On the day of service, Gardens of the Wine Country will provide when requested, written jobsite reviews and inspection reports via e-mail or on their report froms. Many times these written reports are generated without the clients request. This ensures immediate communication and response and also alerts clients to problems and proposed solutions. The process, in turn, creates a written document that everyone can work from and refer to as the job proceeds.
“Our clients are very busy, sophisticated, professional people who want and expect things to look good. They expect their outdoor environment to reflect their taste and match the quality found inside their homes. We involve our clients as much as they desire but recognize that we are hired to manage their project for them so they don’t feel compelled to manage us to accomplish their goals. We communicate clearly, complete work on time and on budget, and never declare the job complete until the client tells us they are satisfied.”
