WATER FEATURES

Dear Jeff & Carrie, I thought it was time to put into words the thanks and gratitude for the pondless waterfall you installed early last summer [2005].  It's been almost a year and I have enjoyed ever season, as well as every day.  Since my husband passed away, this waterfall has been the only thing that has given me peace and serenity, both in looks and sounds.  I watch from inside the house as well as sitting on the bench I installed close to it.  It draws more birds than I have ever seen in my garden, so we all enjoy it.  It is very popular with every visitor I have.

I couldn't be happier with it and the other work Jeff and his crew have done for me.  In fact, I keep calling them back for more since I know they will do a good job.  Thanks again,

Hazel E. Thornton, Poulsbo

Dear Dr. Goller,

Reenie, our daughter Xena, and I want to thank you very much for both the quick and thorough repair of our waterfall and pond as well as the most complete cleaning it has ever had. We can now see the bottom, and the water is sparkling clear for the first time since we purchased the property in 2006. The green is gone!

We would be honored to be included in any list of your maintenance clients and would be pleased to answer any questions a future prospect might have about you. We found you and your crew to be punctual, professional, thorough, efficient and even managed to work with smiles on their faces. Not only that but you were very educational, and we learned a lot about our pond and waterfall and the hydrological properties thereto. We will follow your suggestions and ask you to do some planting when we are sure that we have mastered the bacteria treatments you prescribed. We will try to not name the plants.

Obviously we are all pleased with your work, professor, and we look forward to seeing you again soon. I enjoy pouring you your one-half cup of coffee, no sugar or cream, and our visit.

Thanks to you, Carrie and your crew.

Best Wishes,
The Cowans of Bainbridge

Jeff,  Diane and I would like to thank you for the water feature and pond installation work completed in June. The project exceeded our expectations and transformed the difficult -and prominent- landscape area into a fantastic addition to our home and property. Seeing some of your other water feature work in person and in pictures, in addition to the excellent work Goller Grading has done for us previously, we felt confident the job would be top quality and it is. 

It is nice to work with a contractor who is willing to work with a client, listening to what the client wants, offering ideas and solutions to reach the desired outcome. Having done the majority of the work ourselves on our home and property, we are very picky about who completes work on our home. We appreciate the fact that you and your crew could come in and complete the work, doing an excellent job in a timely manner. Both the pond and two streams turned out better than expected. Our family spends many hours around this area now when previously it was just a messy, unfinished area that I would dread whacking down the brush and weeds on. We have had many compliments from friends and guests on the entire project, of course they want one just like it !. Diane and I  have been adding our own touches to the area, through plantings and the fire pit area, and it is really looking good. Again, thank you for the top quality job you and your crew did.

Dear Jeff,  We can't express how much we love our pond and waterfall. It is a whole new dimension to a front yard that was rarely ever used. Now, people walk by and want to see where the water sounds come from and where they go. It is so very peaceful and has become a place that we spend time at daily.   We are seriously considering to add a second pond to connect with the existing one. 

Your crew was always prompt, courteous, and cleaned up really well each day they were here. Keep up the good work!     Warm Regards,

Chas and Sharon Hart, Bainbridge Island

Mr. Jeff Goller of Goller Grade and Gravel has constructed a water feature here at First Baptist. Of course, we think it is great. Yet, since we lack expert knowledge of such things this opinion could be questioned. We have had people in the business of building Aquascapes, other satisfied owners, and the general public tell us we have a beautiful feature here on our church campus.

Jeff has the right mix of men and machines to be active in the full spectrum of aquascapes. Jeff is always looking for new ideas and materials to introduce to his clients. 

Pastor Dan, Senior Pastor of First Baptist, Bainbridge Island

Jeff installed a pondless waterfall for us at our new home.  We were amazed that Jeff and his crew were done in less than a day and we now have a beautiful water feature right outside our window!  We have had lots of positive comments on it and enjoy the sound of the water.  Neighbors and friends have admired it and asked Jeff if he would install one for them.  We have not had any troubles, our waterfall has been running day in and day out since last spring when it was installed with no problems at all. 

Jeff's crew worked hard and cleaned up the site, leaving no mess behind.  Goller Grade & Gravel enjoys a very good reputation for quality workmanship and businesslike demeanor, which is hard to come by with contractors.  We are happy to say we can highly recommend Jeff and his crew.

OTHER PROJECTS

Mr. Goller:
I LOVE my driveway! Thank you so much!
I have planted grass and put the mulch in the back yard and hope that the grass will grow and keep the dirt that you so ably placed, where it is. It looks so nice. I know also that you filled the pot holes in the drive and for that I am truly grateful. I appreciate all that you have done for me so many times.
Melodee Smith, Poulsbo

Jeff, A brief note to let you know how pleased I am with the job you and your crew did for me this past Thursday/Friday. You have a good crew, friendly and conscientious. I couldn't ask for better.

Rudy Meyer, Bainbridge Island

It's been about 3 months since Jeff brought out Felix and Dale to excavate our property and then organize the mess into a usable yard.  Since then I've had occasions where I needed to make appointments with various contractors and I have this to say:  I have never EVER worked with anyone who has even come close to the exceptional work ethic that Jeff and his crew exhibited while working on our project.  These guys are truly one-of-a-kind.  They were never late and often early, rarely took breaks, worked exactly the time-frame expected and did it all with a smile.  One of the things that impressed me most was their ability to accept redirection without seeming put-upon or disgruntled.  The entire experience was altogether pleasant and I will absolutely use Goller Grade & Gravel again and will also recommend them to everyone I know.

Thanks Jeff and crew -- what a difference it makes to this overgrown, wooded site to have an even, smooth, stable driveway.  I hate to see people drive on it, it's so pretty!

For years we have had to deal with failed do-it-yourself landscaping attempts and weeds on our in-town on-a-hill corner lot; we were at our wits end.  We were tired of not being able to have a decent front yard; feeling that our yard was the “eye sore” of the neighborhood.  We noticed (hard to miss) that our next door neighbor was having a rock wall built [by Goller Grade & Gravel] in their front yard to relieve the same type of problem we were having (weeds, hill, corner lot).  The next thing you know; JEFF, CARRIE, and FELIX to the rescue!  Two and a half weeks later, a beautiful rock wall covered the street-side perimeter of our corner lot and the neighborhood "eye sore” was GONE!  Their final product is BEAUTIFUL, their work ethic is SUPERIOR , and their customer support is FANTASTIC. They consistently concerned themselves with maintaining a clean and neat work area and never ended their work day without cleaning the area and putting away their tools.  Their finished work is outstanding: I have had many of the neighborhood residents stop as they drive or walk by to comment on how beautiful the “THE WALL” is, yet it is not overpowering (almost 200 linear feet of rock wall along the street).  We can’t say enough about how their creative efforts have transformed our residence into a home that we are proud to say is ours.  Thanks Jeff, Carrie, and Felix.

Here are a few other letters:

We can’t thank you enough for the wonderful job you did on the grading, graveling and prep work for the sidewalks and planting beds at our church! Your work and your communication with us was outstanding and it allowed us to end up with exactly what we needed and wanted. One job turned into another — all done in perfect timing with our sidewalk project. We truly appreciate your fine work and the extra things you did to help us! Thanks again for helping to make the entire project run smoothly and we hope to work with you again as we continue with our landscaping plans for the church.

After years of driving around and through the many mud holes that pockmarked our quarter-mile driveway, Goller Grade and Gravel recently regraded it, smoothing it's lumps and bumps and adding gravel where needed. Their crew worked quickly and efficiently, taking great care to not harm nearby shrubbery, and finishing it on schedule, and at their estimated cost. We've since had them perform other work, and have always found them to be proficient, on time, and attentive to our concerns. We highly recommend them. 

Dick and Bobbi Strom, Bainbridge Island

Fantastic.  He did a really good job, put down the right gravel and got rid of the really deep holes.  It was well worth the money.  He did a super job for us.  Hilltop Tree Farm is extremely satisfied.  

Bruce Hedderly-Smith, Hilltop Tree Farm, Poulsbo

I want to thank you for doing such a wonderful job on my driveway. It is a pleasure to come home and not have to ride the bumps all the way down. You have always been so helpful and very professional. I am looking forward to having you build the retaining wall and fix my drainage problems.

Jeff -- Thanks for the help -- it's gorgeous!  [community road repair]
