Over more than 30 years, we have worked with multiple landscape architects across several states…read more Our recent experience with Eli is, without question, the best and most satisfying. We recently moved into a retirement community and the landscaping around our cottage was pretty scraggly. We decided to wait a year to see how it looked in all seasons. Unimpressed after that time, and at the recommendation of neighbors, we contacted Eli for suggestions on low-maintenance native plants that are drought tolerant, deer resistant, low maintenance and pollinators. That's a long list, but Eli put together a proposal that met all of our requirements. Based on earlier experiences with other landscape architects, we wanted to avoid over-planting, but Eli anticipated that and his selection of both appropriate quantity, and size-specific cultivars will ensure that our new plantings won't overgrow their bed-spaces. When he arrived to begin work, we were delighted with the quality of the plants that were on his truck. All were robust, full, and shapely (especially a Weeping Redbud that is a focal point in our front yard). He and a single helper meticulously cleaned and prepared beds, amended soil (as appropriate) and carefully planted everything. They re-used the best specimens of our existing plants, effectively integrating everything into a consistent and coherent whole. In addition to his labor, Eli also provided a running commentary on plant selection and care. He took great pains to protect our new tree from potential deer damage (a major problem in our area) and provided recommendations on plant care through next year. As to value for price, I feel we have gotten our money's worth and more. Highest possible recommendation.

Instead he designed a simple front yard that provided a lovely first view and a small, ready-to-plant bed along the deck so that the new owners could plant whatever flowers they wished as soon as they moved in. Throughout the process, Eli kept me informed of decisions, costs, and timelines. I enthusiastically recommend HIllside Gardening to Rockbridge County residents.

They looked at the "big" picture instead of just doing what they were told which opened our eyes to some other things. The result was a much better project all around and still remained in our budget. The owner was friendly, respectful and acted as though he was spending his own money rather than ours alone. We really appreciated that! Edwards designStudio is a top-notched company and should be highly recommended.

David Johnson, owner, operator of Hard Core tree service, and his crew removed a dying 100 ft. Oak…read moretree from my yard last week. This tree grew over my power line, over a privacy fence, over a large Maple tree, and over a street. The tree was removed with no damage to any of these obstacles. David was a one-man crew cleaning up the fallen trunk, limbs, and debris. The yard was left as clean as humanly possible. As an indicator of the size of this tree, the base was over five and a half feet wide. David did exactly what he said would be done and then some. David has a quality I admire; he is Trustworthy. I liked his work, and I like him as a person. If you need a tree service, call Hard Core Tree Service and get an estimate from David. You won't regret it. Earl Bobbitt
