Hands down the absolute best and most reliable contractor we have ever hired. They exceeded every expectation. They literally worked in the rain to bring our vision to life for our backyard. They partnered with us at every step of the way. Each day we were sent a text saying the time they would arrive and when they were done. I would recommend them without reservation! Happy to serve as a reference if needed!
We used Potted Perfection to help liven up our small city back patio. Brandon did an amazing job with picking out the contents of our raised garden beds and installation. Mindy was very responsive and helpful when communicating and deciding what we needed. We reached out with interest, heard back immediately and had everything installed in less than a week from our initial contact. This is a major ++++ We had two raised garden boxes delivered with full installation / customization. They looked amazing pre blooming and look even better now a few weeks after installation. Highly recommend if you have a small or big project you want to have done, they can do it all. Aside from the good service and quality product they were a pleasure to work with and meet. Pics included show before, during after and a few weeks later as the plants came to life in last pic. Bonus they threw in two free filled potts as well (see left and right of the boxes in last pic)! If you are reading this and have not made up your mind yet, do not hesitate just contact them and you will be glad you did.
Mindy and Brandon were awesome to work with. They were extremely flexible, responsive and accommodating from the very first consult through the final Installation stage. Brandon has a gift and can transform any space no matter what size into a beautiful piece of art and incorporate any vibe you may have envisioned yourself. They are very flexible with pricing and are willing to work with whatever range you had in mind to spend. Our primary focus was greenspacing our roof with plants that we will be able to enjoy year round and we got just that and more. Can’t wait to see how everything blooms this spring! Would absolutely recommend these two any day!!
Potted Perfections have put together two huge pots on either side of Café Lutécia’s front door, 2 or 3 times now. We acquire their business annually to revamp our pots in the spring for the year and always look forward to the new look or creative design they will come up with. Their ensembles are always beautiful and they work quickly and around our schedule and the Café hours. We love their work and would highly recommend.
I worked with Mindy and her husband on a fantastic remodel project at the McDaniel School in South Philly. The school had a large garden space near the front entrance that needed some TLC. After contacting Mindy she was out to look at the space the same day and promptly provided thoughtful insight to the design. Within a week or two, we had agreed on a a beautiful new design for the garden. The school and myself are very grateful for her willingness to work within our budget, while not sacrificing any quality of design. Mindy and her husband had the garden cleared out and rebuilt so quickly, I was shocked when she called saying it was done! The install was beautiful, thoughtful, and of a higher quality than I could possibly imagine. There are photos attached, the photos with the 3 dead trees are before photos. I am extremely excited to see how the garden blooms to life this spring. Thanks again, Mindy!
Retained Potted Perfection my second summer in Graduate Hospital after I failed to keep any of my previous plants alive and was at a complete loss as to what to do with my space. Potted Perfection worked with my vague requests like “need an escape” and “welcoming to my niece” and “plants that won’t die” to design and create an amazing backyard oasis including a living wall, building a new deck and several gorgeous plan installations - complete plants ideal to the amount/direction of sun I have and an irrigation system to keep me from killing it all off! And I loved that they were able to customize everything to my existing space and furniture so I did not have to start from scratch. According to my 4-year-old niece “it is much more prettier now” and I have to agree.
Potted Perfection is an incredible company. Mindy and Brandon built a custom planter at the front of my home and filled it with stunning plants. I also hired them to design and plant two large planters to match the style of the one they built. They are creative, kind, punctual, affordable and not a day goes by (quite literally) when someone doesn't ask me who helped me design the front of the home. I will work with them again in the future and encourage you to do the same!
Potted perfection created the most amazing wreath for my office door over the holidays. I would certainly recommend Potted Perfection for any of your future designs or parties. I have always had a good experience with them in the past. Most recently they designed my bridal shower and really turned this bakery into Alice in wonderland dream party. Speaking to the owners is always a breeze and their customer service is always so helpful. I will continue to use their services and I hope someday you have the pleasure of working with them as well. You won’t be disappointed 🤍
Brandon and Mindy made my moms front and backyards absolutely beautiful for her to enjoy in her later years. My what a difference! She loves all the colorful blooms and the chair they perfectly picked for her. Much more pleasurable to enjoy outside with the dogs. Highly recommend! Even better they come to maintain for us. Makes it easy and enjoyable.
Potted Perfection are absokute professional and amazing to work with. Mindy was detailed oriented, informative, and thoightful right from the beginning. Brandon was a hard worker, hands-on artist, and deliver the work within the time they estimated. We are beyond happy with their work to our backyard and we will work with them again. If you are looking for a brand thats honest, grounded, and responsive (since i know many vendors aren t), give these guy a call and let them do their amazing work for your outdoor space!
Mindy is very responsive and a pleasure to communicate with. Brandon is a talented designer who had a beautiful vision for our space. We hope to spend a lot more time in our outdoor space now that Potted Perfection has worked their magic!
We had such a great experience working with Potted Perfection. They completely trabsformed our backyard, from layout design to execution. We now have exactly the space we wanted - room for our kids to play and for us to host, as well as a beautiful flower and herb garden. Cant wait for this spring!!
Mindy was most personable and engaging. She came off both passionate and professional with regard to our landscaping and gardening.
I was bait and switched and disrespected in multiple ways to the point of tears. I told them my budget was $10k to $12k for my little city yard and that I wanted a garden for my dog, and they told me what was doable. It sounded great and they seemed nice, so I signed the contract and paid my 40% deposit ($4,800). Then we scheduled the design meeting, and Brandon no-showed and I had to reach out to Mindy to reschedule. Then again. Then again. Three days in a row of no-shows before he came on the 4th day we scheduled it. Additional meetings throughout the process were rescheduled last minute, and Brandon showed up an hour late to one of them. When they delivered the design layout, it was for double my budget ($22,500). After weeks of difficult communication, it became clear that barely anything we discussed was going to get done for my budget, and there is no way to get your deposit back at any point, so I was stuck moving forward with the project. The definition of a bait and switch. My design preferences were ignored throughout the entire process and I ended up with a design that is not what I asked for even after clarifying in writing multiple times. At a certain point I just gave up asking for what I wanted and went with the design because it wasnt worth trying to communicate with them after being ignored so many times. On the first day of the installation I attempted to clarify things again, and sure enough, Brandon was going to install a smaller garden than previously agreed upon. After showing the written specifications that we had agreed upon for the dimensions again and bringing Mindy into it, Brandon agreed to install the garden as previously agreed upon. Then when I went inside, he used one of my empty plant pots to cover up my security camera, and a few minutes later he unplugged the camera altogether (and broke my plant pot in the process, which he never owned up to). Brandon was rude to me throughout the 3 days of installation, barely speaking to me or looking at me, and not even letting me know when he was leaving my house or coming back throughout the day. They brought extra items into my yard (like big rocks for the garden and an additional potted tree) to stage after photographs for their social media, and then removed the extra stuff once photos were done. Mindy told me this is apart of the design Brandon sees. If they werent able to do a nice design within my budget, why accept the job? When I told her I didnt like the idea of having extra things installed just for a photoshoot and then removed, she said theres a particular way to go about things and trying to circumvent that will compromise the job. She also said I am more than available to talk about this process and your constructive feedback upon completion. Their idea of cleanup, which is part of the contract and included in their service, was to sweep and spray all the extra dirt and mulch from the project into the alley behind my house, as well as to sweep some behind my recycling bin for me to discover later (this is on camera). I also had to clean up all the dirt inside my house that was spilled. The yard is not what I asked for and not what they told me Id get when I handed them the first $4,800 check. I never would have worked with them if they were honest about what they could do within my budget *before* I gave them a deposit and trapped me into the contract. They also didnt fully irrigate the garden and they didnt install a timer or splitter like they said they would. ***Reply to owners response: I cried over being disrespected and bait & switched, not because I begged you to come. I would have jumped at the chance to get out of the contract once it was clearly a bait and switch. Looking at your other 1 star reviews it seems youve had similar issues before. Its disappointing youre implying I put you in some kind of danger just to deflect responsibility from your actions and deceptive business practices. Youre the one who unplugged my security camera, a strange thing to do if you feel youre in danger.
It was great to work with Potted Perfection. The are experts in their field, courteous and have the know how to make awesome planters. Highly recommend!
Potted Perfection was an absolutely convenient, professional and easy to work with company for our gardening and landscaping needs. BJ and Mindy are so knowledgeable and my wife and I loved working with them to add much needed tender love and care to our front yard. We can t wait to have Potted Perfection back to sauce up our back yard too! Highly recommend this company and their consultative approach to your home land and hardscaping needs and any other design elements you ve been wanting.
We retained Potted Perfection for a patio design and fence installation. After an initial down payment, they provided a design that was double our budget. When we replied with what aspects of the design we would like to proceed with they informed us that we were locked into a minimum cost and would have to spend more than what we requested. Overall we were disappointed with the level of communication about the design, implementation and schedule. They said that would have our fence up in a week and it took 3 months. After the final walk through we identified a number of issues that varied from the design and asked to talk through them. We were met with a barrage of text messages demanding payment immediately. Feeling we had no choice and to avoid further conflict we paid on full. Then we started to have issues with the integrity of the fence and the gate. They came to pick up the gate and promised a prompt redesign and install. Months went by without a gate to our fence and we had multiple items stolen from our backyard. Ultimately due to lack of responsiveness we asked for a reimbursement to address the outstanding issues with another contractor. They offered an amount way below what was required to fix the issue and then stopped responding to our messages. We had to pay an additional 20% above what we spent to address these issues with another contractor. I see a lot of great reviews for landscaping and potting, and from their portfolio they do great work in this area. I would be hesitant to use potted perfection for other contract work. -Chris (they/them) #Response to Potted Perfections Response: My intent in posting this review is for others to be informed on our experience. I am not requesting concessions or reimbursement from Potted Perfection at this time. The timing of this post, 1 year following installation, reflects the time it has taken to save the funds and retain a contractor to correct the issues.
Amazing service, attention to detail and timely!! Couldn t ask for more!!
This company does amazing work with plants, trellises, and outdoor products. Brandon and Mindy are hard workers and reliable.
Ms. AR Chandler ACE WG&Screen CEO So happy spring is here in and time for new landscape project. Storm damage was bad at my Florida home I was lucky to find Potted Perfection LLC. they travel. It was a pleasure to meet with Brandon and Mindy. They arrived promptly, budget, ideas and plans were discussed professionally. I was very impressed with Brandons ideas and creativity which were much better than mine. When the project was completed I was very pleased with final result. I will definitely call on there services again and would very highly recommend them. Thank you both for an amazing job.
Love potted perfection so much! I ve worked with them for close to ten years. Watching their company grow has been a wonderful experience. Working with them had been beyond a great experience. They truly care about nature, people, and providing a magical experience. They ve helped us design for our different spaces as we have grown as a family. They can create and design for any type of space. From a shared space to a one bedroom. They ve created many living bouquets for me. For birthdays, events, and even my pet sheep. They helped me design my one bedroom patio within my budget and as I day dream of my future home. I absolutely know I will be designing and investing in my future with them. They work quickly, are super patient, knowledgeable, kind, fun, warm, and help me bring nature into my home. I m so excited for our next project together. Working on my pasture and first home. They truly give such great solutions and have such a rich knowledge of plants and sustainability practices. They are who I will always turn to when I want to bring the magic or nature into my home, life, and family. I love and always enjoy supporting a local, black owned, woman owned, and just the cutest family in the world, small but mighty business. They also share the love and support other small business and love collaborating with others. Super cool people and business.
We are extremely pleased with our roof deck design and landscaping that Potted Perfection completed for us. Our gray and drab roof turned into a colorful and lush space that we utilize all the time to entertain and just relax. We could not be happier with how beautiful it turned out and can t believe the transformation!
Potted Perfection the Dynamic Duo: Mindy and Brandon! Individually, their enthusiasm is contagious but when they re together that s when you get to see the magic happen I feel very fortunate to have met them I had been searching for so long for a professional gardener who is not only fair but also patient and caring. I look forward to experiencing the beauty that Potted Perfection has begun to curate in my space. To say I am a satisfied customer, is an understatement.
Everything Potted Perfection does is gorgeous and wont be seen elsewhere! They are also top notch people that care about their community.
The team at Potted Perfection is great to work with and their work is just head turning beautiful. I am so happy every time I catch a glimpse of the bright flowers and greenery of their plants. For the installation, they worked around my schedule and then cleaned up their work space better than it was before they got there. I highly recommend them and will use them again and again!
The name says it all! Their work is always perfection. I am a Yoga Instructor in Center City Philadelphia and I plan several events that I have worked with Potted Perfection. Their floral arrangements bring joy, color and elegance to every event Ive planned. I teach classes in my Logan Square studio and P.P. created a one of a kind piece with house plants for my wall along with custom wooden shelves & a cacti/succulent garden. They specifically designed these for my personality and I love them so much! Not only does it look magnificent but the plants also provide oxygen. Whats one of the most important concepts of yoga? BREATH. Thanks to P.P. my students and I are always inhaling fresh oxygen during our practice. Namaste! Thanks so much Potted Perfection! I highly recommend using them for anything under the sun that has to do with greenery & design. As an artist and yoga instructor I can honestly say Potted Perfection knows what they are doing and really creates beautiful work. No job is too big or too small for them, they are honest and warm people, and they are really helpful to consult with. -Vulgar Yogi
Potted Perfection gave our business s stairwell some much needed glow and life. They created the perfect living arrangement for us complete with a gorgeous Japanese Maple tree that we are can watch grow and change for years to come. Potted Perfection was super fun and easy to work with and so thoughtful about our unique space and needs. AND they delivered and installed the plants, which took a lot off of my plate! I couldn t recommend Potted Perfection more and will be using them in the future.
Potted Perfection did a fantastic job decorating for our wedding! We really loved their unique and personal touches, especially for our chuppah. We really liked their sustainable designs which we used for our centerpieces, grandparents memorial table, and guest book/gift table. We truly appreciated how helpful and accomodating they were with our wedding party, from our parents to the flower girls and ringbearer. They did such wonderful work that our photographer asked us for their information afterward! We would definitely recommend them for any event!
Beautiful work! I received two floral arrangements from Potted Perfection; a centerpiece for our Thanksgiving table and a loose flower bouquet for Christmas. Both were filled with a unique variety of fresh flowers, native greens, and berry branches. Vibrant colors, interesting textures and perfect size. Potted perfection also made a terrarium for my daughter s nursery. A whimsical collection of living plants, a gnome, and a forest of mushrooms. So fun! I highly recommend Potted Perfection and look forward to working with them in the future!
Potted perfection did a great job installing two planters in my urban patio. I gave them free range and a budget and I am super delighted with the outcome. They are really nice and easy to work with. Highly recommended.
Easy to get in touch with. Easy to work with. Knowing 2020 is a bit overwhelming for most of us, they are honoring their 2019 pricing. From a beautiful install to my whiskey barrel planters, to being able to come out in such short notice, I couldn t be happier! They brought the front of my shop back to life! Support small business! Bloom always!
I reached out to them after seeing an arrangement in front of businesses in Manayunk. I inquired about a piece and it s availability and got a response quickly. They were efficient and delivered right to my door! I received a beautiful aloe plant resting in a sturdy planter.
Love looking at these planters everyday! My goal with our Potted Perfection install was to bring life to the front entrance of my business, which looked empty due the lower foot traffic of the pandemic. I appreciate Mindy and Brandons philosophy of growing into a space, which makes a more budget-friendly experience for someone who may need to begin with smaller or fewer planters, but also has a vision for expanding down the line. Their year-round or all season options provide flexibility for those who either want a one-time install; or, want to swap out plants seasonally. I love that their planters balance beautiful bold colors and neutral greens along with different textures and shapes. Unlike something you might find at a chain garden center, or even do yourself, Potted Perfection installs look very natural and completely alive. During our initial consultation, they asked and listed to what my needs and budget were, along with asking about plant preferences and colors. I was very happy with the planters they designed and have had neighbors ask me if I was a botanist myself ;) HIGHLY recommend this local small business!
I would highly recommend this team. Mindy and Brandon were beyond helpful and knowledgeable to create my familys own little Oasis. They truly transformed my cement pit into a beautiful piece of art. Could not recommend them enough
They did a fantastic job accommodating myself and my team while building a set for my company.
We love our planters. They bring us so much joy every day! Potted Perfection also did some really helpful landscaping for our little Philly yard and helped with some shrub and stump removal. Highly recommend and look forward to having them plant some new flower boxes for us next spring!
Always a great job and perfectly beautiful!
I ordered this bouquet for a best friends birthday. I had them deliver the bouquet to her job. She was soooo pleased with the way the bouquet looked, the warmth and energy of the Brandon (the person who delivered) and has been getting compliments on this bouquet since she received it on Monday morning. I had to come and write a review because here we are 3 days later and shes still talking about this bouquet and its beauty. Thank you Potted Perfection!!!!
Potted Perfection is the best landscaping company ever. Mindy & Brandon did a fabulous job on my lawn. It is so perfect I can t stop looking at it. They are so professional. I couldn t ask for anything more. The combination of the flowers & bushes compliment each other. I have the best looking lawn on my block. I would recommend Potted Perfection a million times over. I am just extremely happy with the beautiful job they did. They are the only landscaping company I will use.
working with potted perfection has been a really good experience. mindy + brandon have done several planter designs at my shop + condo building. all of the arrangements have been beautiful! they care about what they do, are responsive + easy to work with.
Absolutely the most beautiful arrangement! Professional and responsive business owners. You wont be disappointed! A+++
This is my third time using Potted Perfections for a floral arrangement gift. Every arrangement has been different yet equally beautiful. This time I wanted a simple, modern succulent garden for a male friend aka a manly bouquet. It is always a very rewarding experience and I look forward to working with them on a future landscaping project!
Beautiful planter thats stood the test of time on a small south philly block They do great work.
Beautiful arrangements!!! I am so happy with the work that they do and the professionalism of this company!!
Amazing work from Potted Perfection! They really listened to what I wanted and created a piece of art that went above and beyond my expectations. Thank you so much! I truly believe I had the best bouquet in the world! (Photos by Jessica Giesey with The Cactus Pear Collective)
Wow! That best describes my experience with the team at Potted. We recently moved into a new condo, and have friends who recommended them after having used them at their house. I could not have been happier I listened. They helped me through the entire process and made it much less daunting. They did a walk through and helped us select colors based on the the room and natural lighting. The colors they helped us select really pop and change throughout the day into night. The painters were extremely professional, they cleaned up everything without leaving a spec of pain on the floor. Our ceilings are 18 feet high which led other contractors to give estimates over 500 dollars more. As you can see from the pictures the fact that they were cheaper did not translate to sacrificing quality and precision. My wife already has already started discussing ideas for the bedroom with them!
