If you are wanting someone to come in and offer you ideas and solutions for your landscape, Nate is the guy!

I have to echo the reviews by Gregory Tudor and Michael O'Brien - Tim was WONDERFUL from start to…read morefinish! Unlike some of the "big" name landscaping companies, Tim was passionate about our project, worked on it every day from beginning to end, and cleaned up EVERY DAY! He listened to our needs and our basic vision, then gave us a ton of great ideas to make our vision do-able at an affordable price. We are truly thankful for the design suggestions he gave us and his ability to make our dream come to life. We are in a heavily wooded subdivision on a sloping lot at the lowest end of a cul-de-sac so we had big challenges with drainage in the front and the big slope to the woods in back. Tim and his crew did an excellent job regrading three sides of our yard and replacing our crumbling stone walls adjacent to the driveway with a beautiful boulder wall that will handle the drainage issue. Our shady, sloping utterly "blah" backyard was transformed with a partial wall, patio, and walkway. Tim added a few surprises to the plan as well by planting and mulching some of the mature plant beds. At the very end of the job, he took the time to add a small flower bed with sweet little stone border that really makes the front yard pop. Tim kept me informed at every step in the project. We discussed and re-discussed design ideas until I felt it was just right. Couldn't be happier! I've had many landscaping projects done by other quality companies, but Tim beats them all in problem solving, design, and quality. Highly recommended.

He not only completely upgraded its appearance, but he chose the materials and designed the contours of the ground to optimize water drainage, protect our home and rectify errors from the previous homeowner.

I can't say enough about Premier View Landscaping. Time and his team were fast, efficient, professional and fair. I give him my highest recommendation, and we would plan to use his services for any future projects.

I cannot say enough great things about Scott and his team. Scott, himself, is extremely…read morepersonable, kind, and 100% invested in doing the best job possible. We first contacted Scott because we needed a decorative garden retaining wall that we had started to be finished (we had to make a list-minute move and were mid-remodel on our home). My husband is an absolute perfectionist--he has constructed a number of these decorative retaining walls professionally over the years--so our standards were very high. Scott and his team exceeded our expectations. Not only did they install the wall perfectly, Scott even made some suggestions that ended up making the wall look even nicer than our original plan. Scott and his team took the time (and let me tell you, it took A LOT of time) to clear all of the weeds, overgrown bushes, etc. out of our existing garden beds to make way for new plants and they also took care to protect our prized Japanese Maple during the process. While digging the base for our wall, Scott and his team uncovered a number of bricks from an old garden wall that had been buried over the years. Instead of just disposing of them, Scott had the wonderful idea of repurposing the bricks to create a lovely brick walkway off of our back patio into our backyard as well as a little brick pad to place a bucket or hose on underneath our front spigot. I was absolutely thrilled that he thought to do this. I think it's also important to note that Scott did all of this work within our set budget. Scott found ways to do the most with the money we had allotted and gave us the biggest bang and best quality for our buck...actually I'd say Scott's quality of work would not waiver no matter what budget you presented him with. His name is on this business and he takes that very seriously. Since Scott and his team finished up our garden wall, we have also hired them for general yard work like lawn mowing, weeding, aerating, seeding, and leaf-raking. We'll also be working with Scott in the spring to add plants to our garden beds. Our neighbors across the street were so impressed with his work, that they've hired him as well. I hope that other neighbors follow suit. In summary, Scott is a stand-up guy with a hardworking team who is willing to work within your budget to give you the most for your money with the absolute best quality. I will continue to recommend him to any and everyone.
