After going thru a 2 month horror show with the wrong landscaper, I was lucky to cut my losses and even luckier to find David Freeman. Although his plate was full, after hearing my sob story, he made time in his schedule to fit me in. Aside from aesthetics, my main needs were getting the back yard completely leveled, fully seeded, a dog area, and the drainage relocated. He knocked them all out of the park. Dave and his team were extremely professional. They came and worked like gangbusters for 4 days straight. Always on time and working all day. I was never wondering if and when they were going to show up like you do with other contractors. It was not cheap, but like most things in life, you get what you pay for. Zero aggravation and no excuses are priceless. He knew I was on a budget and did try to cut costs where he could. He expertly relocated some flowers and shrubs that made sense, which did help save some. Being the end of the season, he also utilized some left over plants/shrubs/flowers that he already had to use in my project. In the end, Dave came in and saved the day. He knocked out my project in 4 days with a full crew. There were no excuses or delays. The whole team was super professional. His knowledge of his craft was applied to my back yard and specific needs. They were all met and executed. As I did this project last fall, I have just recently reaped the benefits of his hard work this spring/summer and having seen most of everything in full bloom. I am very happy. Look no further. This is your guy if you want great communication, excellent execution and zero agita in your landscaping needs. read more

Born and raised city kids that only know how to maintain concrete move to the suburbs. Thank goodness for David and his team. Our new house had been abandoned for 15 years before we purchased it - just piles of dirt everywhere. David helped make our house a home (and tons of compliments from our new neighbors). His team came in quickly and efficiently and did an amazing job with the front and side lawn of our house. David designed a beautiful landscape that highlighted the architecture of the house, and complimented the curves of the sidewalk. I had no idea what to expect and I was so happy with the results. He is friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. He also left us with instructions to keep our new habitat healthy and growing. He has been available for any and all follow up questions.We will definitely be using his team to get our new garden winter ready as well. read more

David is an artist and a scientist. His crew members are great people who work efficiently and clean up at the end of every day. They gave us a garden full of plants that take turns blooming from April through October, something I never could've figured out on my own. We're thrilled with the work. read more

David is not only a poet with landscape design, he's a magician. He transformed my garden into a wonderland. He's also one of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet. His staff have been with him for years. Good natured and very knowledgeable on all things green and lovely. Patiently described everything that he was planning and envisioned. He goes above and beyond what you'd want from a landscape architect. Easily accessible with questions and promptly answers within hours. He's a gem. I recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat. Thanks, David for your professionalism. read more

We are soooooooo happy with our front yard!!! There's a reason Dave Freeman is called a 'landscape poet' - we went from a pretty horrible front yard, on a busy street, to something that is really a piece of art. DC Freeman took great time and care to design, procure and plant our garden. Every piece, every nuance, every texture and grade is there for a reason. Each plant/flower/color/rock/ridge works together. Dave not only went to school for this but continuously educates himself, and it shows. There is a harmony among the entire piece that is extraordinary. Dave and his crew are extremely professional and went way over the top on this project. We got our dream front yard on time and on budget. Extremely happy!!! read more

Several years ago, a series of snow and ice storms devastated our front garden. It was too daunting to try to replace it ourselves, so we looked around for a professional to take over. After interviewing 3 very qualified services and viewing their work, we found that Dave Freeman's results were far more creative than others. We worked with Dave to arrive at a budget and gave him a free hand to create a garden for us. We were not disappointed in the beautiful work he and his perfectionist crew accomplished and now have a showpiece property on our block. From spring to fall, something is always blooming and whenever we come home, the look of the garden brings smiles to our face. When we had a serious water problem in our family room and had to put a large drainage system outside our house, I had Dave handle it because it involved working around our garden and knew he would take care of all the plantings that had to be moved. When it was finished, you could not tell that anything had been moved, or disturbed. If you want a creative and beautiful garden, do not hesitate to contact Dave. Ken read more

David and his crew were a pleasure to work with and went the extra mile to create a show-stopping landscape. David's extensive knowledge of the area's soil conditions and plants were invaluable and enlightening. He took the time to review and discuss our vision and budget. The results exceeded our expectations, and his artistry and philosophy as a designer produced a unique, all-season display. He thoughtfully chose plantings that would complement each other and the house. David continues to follow up and to support his work by answering any questions that arise. We have not only found a wonderful landscaper but a friend as well. Let there be no hesitation in hiring DC Freeman for your next landscaping project, large or small! You will not be disappointed! read more

I hired DC Freeman LLC to create a flower garden in front of my townhouse, and I'm so glad I did! David Freeman is a gifted artist who puts plants together in a way that enhances their beauty and makes my heart leap every time I come home or look out the window. So many landscaped yards look cookie-cutter or overly fussy, but David's landscaping style is effortless, natural and stunningly gorgeous! After seeing photos of his work online, I wanted his artistry to grace my home - and I couldn't be happier. I gave him my thoughts about the kinds of flowers and colors I like, and he did the rest. His prices are a little high-end but extremely fair for the high-end services, fantastic results and all the personal touches and guidance that he provides - it was WELL WORTH IT for this beautiful gift to myself and my neighbors. Seeing David's garden has become my favorite part of coming home! Now I will be lovingly maintaining his work for years to come and enjoying it every single day! In addition, his crew were amazing and super-professional - everyone was kind, dedicated and great at communicating timelines and information (the work they did in a single day would have taken me all summer to complete - they were fast yet worked with extreme care). I am thrilled with David's work and recommend him on every possible level!!! read more

This company landscaped my yard in June 2015 after I had several trees removed. The most amazing thing about it was the way David Freeman used color-it was like a Monet garden! It's as if he takes plants and paints with them. I can't wait to see everything burst forth this Spring. read more
