What People are Saying About Oregon Ground Works
In this post a Southern Oregon community is saying why they choose Oregon Ground Works for their garden and land stewardship needs.
I've come to realize that tooting my own horn for the quality of my craftsmanship and service, and what sets me apart from my competitors is fundamental. I mean why would someone be in business if they don't feel that the service they offer provides value and improves the lives of everyone it serves? It has been brought to my attention that you want to hear from your community more than you do from me in this regard.
So without further ado... here's what people are saying about Oregon Ground Works!

"Brian is a thorough, detail oriented, efficient, and reliable worker. He was prompt and got a lot of work done in a timely manner at a very reasonable cost. I absolutely love what he did with my fruit trees, roses, and berries! I recommend Brian to all of my friends and plan on hiring him for many more projects in the future."

"I was lucky enough to find Brian pruning my neighbor's Persimmon tree. On seeing his work, and liking what I saw, I asked if he would be interested in pruning my wisteria.
He did an excellent job, and from there I had him prune my roses, fertilize and amend them. I also had him prune my hedges and prune my Crab-apple tree because it needed a good prune since it had not been touched in 18 years.
I have no hesitation in highly recommending Brian for all your garden needs. I found him to work very efficiently and always on time. He kept me well informed and listened to my needs."

"Brian and his crew member worked very efficiently in removing a large section of blackberry roots from my yard. They also did an excellent job of cleaning up following this work, which I believe is particularly important in blackberry work.
Brian gave me an estimate with a high and low amount and finished the work within his estimate. I enjoyed having him work in my yard and plan to use his services again."

"I started using the services of Brian Self in the summer of 2012. I was anxious to find someone to help me rearrange my garage and move things around. I found Brian's flyer on the bulletin board at Market of Choice. I was somewhat tentative calling someone off a bulletin board, and now I am very glad I took that chance! Brian was very punctual, very helpful, and very professional.
While chatting with Brian I discovered he has considerable experience with organic gardens. Late summer I hired Brian to plant an organic garden for us. He knew exactly what to do and then proceeded to do it very well. My wife and I had a marvelous first crop of assorted vegetables! I have since had Brian return to do more garden cleanup and I plan on having him trim my fruit trees.
I have been very happy with our working arrangement and will continue to rely on Brian to assist us with our organic garden."

"I was extremely pleased with the work Oregon Ground Works did for my wife and I. Brian is a hard worker and a real professional. He is courteous, punctual, and has great communication skills. I will definitely use Oregon Ground Works again in the future."

"Brian's work with my fruit trees resulted in a lot more fruit, less blight, and they were all a lot healthier this year! All of my fruit trees were bigger, better, and more. The Granny Smiths apples are juicy, mouth puckering, deliciously crispy apples! One of the best harvests I've ever had. Thank you Brian!!!"

"A friend recommended your business and I was impressed with your prompt response to my phone call. Brian cleaned up my front yard, which had been sadly neglected over the past few years. He pulled out all the weeds, wild blackberries, dug up some old plants then replanted my entire garden. He also did some heavy pruning on an overgrown pampas grass plant.
Everything looks outstanding and I'm more than pleased with the results. Brian has a good eye for color / design, and I've received many compliments from the neighbors. Brian provides outstanding customer service, is reliable, hard working, and did an excellent job of cleaning up after he completed the job. Also, his prices are more than reasonable. Thanks for a job well done."

"Leaving the Mount Shasta area for Ashland was very emotional and having Brian help with the move was awesome. He showed up when he said he would, worked his butt off, and was very careful with our furniture. I still don't know how he and his helper got my very heavy dresser up the narrow stairs! Thank you Brian for your brains and brawn!"
