He responded quickly, respectfully and then scheduled his team to start within a few short weeks. The team, headed by Seth turned out to be another amazing part of EcoLandscapes - they are a friendly hardworking devoted group that knows the work and has a great deal of respect for the home owner's vision and needs. We worked closely each day checking on on the progress. The entire job was done with great care and is stunningly beautiful. I highly recommend that you take the time to meet with Daniel and allow him to help you figure out what it is that you really want for your property. He can do whatever it is that you want to create. and do it with perfection. Amazing

Dan is a creative, caring, and communicative business owner. His team, led by Seth, was an absolute pleasure to work with - they did a truly fantastic job and were so nice and helpful throughout. After they were done, we had a small issue with drainage (because right after they laid down the patio, there were torrential downpours for days, not allowing our pavers to settle). I'm not kidding when I say within five minutes of emailing Dan on a Friday evening to let him know, he called us to say he and Seth were coming over right away to take a look. Because of continued bad weather, they had to come back a few times over the next few weeks to make sure everything was good. Yes, they made our patio a little slice of heaven, but we were actually the most impressed with their post-project attentiveness and customer-focused desire to make everything right. Now we have a perfect space and can't wait to enjoy it over the summer! Highly, highly recommend!

None of which followed through with anything. Never returned calls and when they did call to set up appointments, they either didn't show, or showed up promising an estimate, never to be seen or heard from again. Luke, the owner, went above and beyond my expectations. My first call, I was called back almost instantly. He came when he said he would ON TIME!! He set dates , which unfortunately had to be changed 3 times. (Rain) But.... He texted, emailed or called. There was total communication from the very beginning. I can't tell you how refreshing it was to deal with someone who has work ethics. Who actually cares about the client. Before and after pictures will follow soon. Waiting for things to settle and grow. Thank you Luke!!

After our first live consultation and exchange of ideas I was emailed a detailed clear professional estimate within 24 hrs. After the job got going communication between Anna and I was constant. She was always available to answer any questions or concerns about the project. I was always informed of the next step. I had a custom made arbor and metal wall panels hung and framed. Her team also filled in a planting area (that I didn't want any more) with a slate and pebbles motif. The craftsmanship and quality of the work was stellar! It is my pleasure to give this company my highest recommendation.

We live in the city (Philadelphia) so our backyard space is small, but she has transformed it into a tiny paradise. I HIGHLY recommend Digs to anyone in Philadelphia looking for a new deck, roof deck, or landscaping. PROS: * I love the design aesthetic of Anna and her team. It's got just the right amount of "hipness" while still being comfortable and practical. She also makes great use of space, which is key in the city! * Working with Anna at Digs has been a really wonderful experience. She is very professional, always on time, personable and easy to work with. So much better that what my typical experience has been! * She has great relationships with really talented carpenters, electricians, plumbers & others. She managed the entire process for me and I know that her good relationships with all of these groups helped us get the very best work. * She has even been following up to make sure everything is perfect. CONS: * Honestly, there wasn't anything that I would really classify as a con. The project did take a little longer than we were hoping for, but most of this was out of her control (weather, availability, etc). Again, we are just thrilled that we had the opportunity to work with Digs and we'll be using them in the future. I recommend them without hesitation!

When John Fridy came to meet in person and take a look at my front beds, I explained that I envisioned a pollinator destination that would grow into a lush garden in the years to come. John understood exactly what I was looking for, made an individualized plan, and returned - in person - with pictures of the plants he envisioned throughout my front walk. These included plants that would provide unique interest in the design process, were deer resistant, and would ensure something was in bloom throughout the spring and summer seasons. A few weeks later, he and his team of polite, careful, and professional individuals removed the existing shrubs and placed new shrubs and perennials, using healthy soils and mulch to ensure our new plants would thrive. The butterflies and birds are now all over my front yard! John is going to return in late fall to plant bulbs and is also coming back in the spring to make sure everything is growing beautifully and incorporate annuals. I could not be happier that I reached out to John and the Naturescapes team when I did. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Call John and the Naturescapes team! You will be so glad you did.
