I normally don't write reviews unless a company does an exceptionally poor job. My belief is…read moresimple, when you pay someone a good amount of your hard earned money, the job should be done right. There are exceptions, though, and Lisa is definitely one of them. Obviously, Lisa and her team did a fantastic job with the landscaping. She presented me with three different design options, worked with me to stay within my budget, and then executed the project exactly as she explained she would. She even moved my project up on the schedule after I mentioned I was planning to sell my house soon, which I really appreciated. What really stood out, though, wasn't just the quality of the work, it was the communication. It was clear, transparent, and consistent before, during, and even after the project. That level of professionalism is surprisingly rare in the home improvement industry. I own a house that was built in 1887, and over the past eight years I've hired countless companies for projects including a new deck, porch, fencing, painting, paver installation, and just about everything else you can think of. One of the most frustrating parts of working with companies in this industry is the lack of organization and communication. They're usually quick to collect the deposit, but after that you're left constantly following up for project start dates, updates, and progress. Working with Lisa was the complete opposite. She was organized, proactive, and always kept me informed. It was honestly refreshing. If you want to roll the dice and deal with the same frustrations I experienced with two other landscaping companies before finding Lisa, go for it. But if you'd rather save yourself the time, stress, and uncertainty, do yourself a favor and call Lisa. I couldn't recommend her more.

Lisa was amazing to work with from beginning to end. She was very prompt in all her communication…read more She came over and did an assessment, took measurements and gave me several options for general landscaping style. She then took those and made three very detailed designs in video format. From there we went back and forth a few times as I wanted a combination of designs. Throughout the entire process Lisa was patient and also answered several questions I had about plants. She oversaw the installation and came back the next day to tidy everything up. The installation went very smoothly and we are in love with our new front yard and parkway. I highly recommend Lisa for any landscaping projects! We also love supporting small businesses and are happy we went with Lisa.

Cityscape Landscape went above and beyond what we had dreamed for our city backyard! They removed…read moreour rotting wood deck and built a beautiful stone patio and faux wood landing. They also repaired our fence and installed safety rails around our backyard basement staircase and two new gates. Their entire team was professional, considerate, thoughtful and dedicated. They were respectful of our neighbors, fielded all of our many questions, and were highly attentive to all of the details. My two children are constantly asking to go play in the new yard because it has become such a kid-friendly, relaxing, and versatile space. It is an oasis in the city, and we couldn't be more pleased!

We hired J.D., owner of Green City Gardens, to design & install a large landscaping project at our…read morehome. We couldn't have been more satisfied with how it turned out - here's why: 1) Expertise: J.D. used his deep knowledge of botany to recommend an ecosystem of plants that were not only stunning to look at, but that fit together in their respective planting beds in size, shape, color & texture, and bloomed at different times to ensure we had spectacular color from spring to fall. 2) Efficient: Installation of the plants was seamless. His crew was professional and competent. 3) Responsive: A few of the plants needed replacing after the frigid temps & harsh winter of 2024. J.D. immediately replaced them with no questions asked. The most important question one should ask themselves about their experience with any contractor they've done business with is - would you hire them again? Answer: we wouldn't hire anyone else but J.D. for our landscaping needs, especially knowing how important beautiful landscaping can be to maximizing the value of our home.

We began our conversation with Salvador about a year ago. We had just torn down and rebuilt our…read moregarage and needed to landscape the back yard. He came out and provided us with an estimate and drawing, which we loved. However our neighbors were doing a construction project as well that caused us to have to hold off on our project until this year. Salvador came back out, adjusted the original plan to account for the work the neighbors had done, and ultimately provided us with the back yard of our dreams. It was completely worth the investment and worth waiting for. Salvador, Maria, and the crew were great to work with from beginning to end. Salvador is creative in his designs and very knowledgeable about the plants he brought in. He and the crew were dependable and did really great work for us. Highly recommend.
