After the freeze I now know the plants survive. The mound is what I always wanted to see as we approached home The mountain laurel is where I can watch birds in it and the see the flowers.

I contacted David at I.L.D. to discuss a patio and walkway project that my wife's been wanting for…read moreover 5 years. David and his crew supervisor were able to stop by my place that afternoon. After walking around the yard to look over the project and later, sending my drawing of what I was looking for in greater detail he came back with an estimate. Glad to say I was sitting down when I saw it. After talking with the wife we decided to scale back the project to just the patio, but have I.L.D. supply us with enough Flagstone for us to do the pathways on our own as time and energy permit. We did custom remodeling work for 14 years since my forced retirement in 2003, but decided to completely retire in 2018, so the budget was a major concern. David's revised estimate was still more than we expected, but knowing the amount of labor involved, we agreed on the price. David's crew was able to start on our place the following Tuesday and completed the job by the next Monday after that. I was happy with the professionalism his crew displayed and the attention to details that made a difference in the end product. I was impressed with the stone-work, and the respect shown to our property by all the workers. The crew supervisor did suggest a change to the job after digging out for the stonework, that increased the total area. It made a lot of sense so David and I quickly came to an agreement on the adjustment that was reasonable. I highly recommend David and I.L.D. for this kind of work.

They responded to my request for a quote quickly. We wanted a complete landscaping project,…read moreincluding a sprinkler system and a deck. Unfortunately, they only do the landscape portion, so we hired another company for the deck. They don't do sprinkler systems, either. In the end, we went with another company that could do the landscaping and the in-ground sprinklers together in the same project. If it was landscaping only, I would have been happy to try them. Kellye came out to our house even though it's an hour from where she is as soon as she could, took measurements and answered all the questions that we had at the time and listened carefully to what we wanted. I would certainly recommend considering them when you want to get bids on a landscape job.

I live on a corner and the side yard is a huge space that was nothing but an unsightly mass of dirt and weeds before. Now, I have an area that looks like my own botanical garden, and my neighbors can't stop raving about how wonderful it is. The butterflies and bumblebees also love it, and one plant or another has continued to flower well into January. What started off as small plants in June had blossomed into massive, flowering bushes by September. I can't say enough about the great job he did or how happy I am with the results. Thanks again, Sean, for a job exceedingly well done!

He is gifted at managing the project to meet the final vision and being receptive to any questions or concerns. We received daily communication to understand what was completed that day and what was next. Our yard was sloped and lumpy, and quite depressing. We really wanted some privacy and to level the yard for playing. All while managing any drainage issues that could arise. Jerry drew up a full master design, and we were blown away with the creativity and consideration he obviously put into it. From there, we started narrowing the project to fit into our budget. The scope of work included a full front and back yard renovation including new sod, a patio addition, pergola, lighting, irrigation and drainage, outdoor kitchen, and all new plants/stone borders. Our yard is now our favorite place and we have received a ton of compliments from neighbors. The process from design, budgeting and planning the scope of work, and then completion of the work took several months so my suggestion is to call and schedule a consultation before the spring busy season.

Reached out to a few companies and Al's quote turned out to be the lowest of the three I received. He was very thorough in detailing his suggestions for us and we eventually decided to zero-scape the front lawn. He gave us options to choose from, explained what has worked best for him in the past. He took out our existing bushes by our front windows, ensuring he got most, if not all of the roots so they wouldn't be an issue moving forward, planted 4-5 yucca plants, put granite rock down to cover the yard and our curb with a barrier around the whole area. We also went with a two-foot-wide extension from the side of our driveway that has 2" pavers and crushed granite so I could better get out of my vehicle since I have mobility issues. We also had him trim our huge Ash tree in the front since it needed it badly. Al was very professional, kept us in the loop on all decisions and got the job done quickly. His attention detail is OUTSTANDING! I would 100% recommend him for any of your landscaping projects, big or small. Our front yard looks great and now we don't have to mow it ever again!! :-)
