Panning for gold is popular in the North Georgia mountains. After sifting through some other…read morelandscaping companies in the area, we finally "found the gold" here in Cleveland with Rooted Landscape Management! Sam and Jakob did an excellent job of completely transforming our yard! They worked hard clearing, grading, and installing three beautiful toccoa Belgard block retaining walls with steps and rails, a gravel driveway/parking area, and wooden fencing for our project. They were very punctual and communicative throughout every phase of the work. We appreciate so much their precision and care for detail! They were very friendly and extremely professional! We added beautiful accent lighting to the walls from Wayne's Outdoor Lighting. We've already received numerous compliments on our project, and we couldn't be more pleased with our "new yard"! If you're looking for quality, professionalism, and value, end your search and "go for the gold" with Rooted Landscape Management! P. Weaver, Cleveland, GA

New Sod Installation…read more We had to install a new main water line, and we had a large oak tree removed from our front yard. Dani Navarro and his crew came to our rescue to put new Meyer zoysia sod in these bare areas of our front lawn. It took 3/4 of a pallet of sod to cover the areas. They did an outstanding job at a fair price. The three men worked fast, were courteous and professional. I would use them again for any landscaping project.

Excellent, highly recommended. We just recently signed up with Hardin's and we are pleased. Their…read moreservice is great. Our lawn and shrubs are perfectly cut (maintained) and trimmed weekly.

Hardin's Gardens and owner Doug Hardin are amazing! When I purchased my home in May, I knew I was…read moregoing to need serious help with my yard as the previous owners had let it become overgrown for nearly a decade. I recently called Doug Hardin on a whim after receiving two other outrageous quotes from landscapers to have my yard cleaned up, graded and beginning stages of landscaping started. He worked within my budget and has been realistic about what could be accomplished based on the season (winter) and the condition of the yard (rocky, large trees, etc) Not to mention, the quote he provided was significantly less than other quotes I received. I now have a yard that is progressing beautifully with stack stoned borders, cleaned up landscape, small trees and bushes removed and drainage concerns taken care of. I would recommend Hardin's Gardens without hesitation for monthly maintenance or a large landscaping project. Doug is honest, realistic and dedicated to his business. He works right alongside his crew. Hardin's Gardens is a gem in the landscaping and lawn care maintenance business!

If I could give no stars, I would. Kevin Kornder with Environmental Landscape was referred to me…read moreby a neighbor. Our project was a big one -- installing a large granite patio and retaining wall and drainage/grading in the back yard. The quality of workmanship on the patio was amazing, but the rest of it lacked much to be desired. The "crew" consisted of a couple of guys that looked fresh from the parking lot of Home Depot. One was much more interested in smoking cigarettes and drinking Red Bull, than he was about working in the yard. In all fairness, I'd probably prefer drinking Red Bull to working in the yard, but that's why I hired someone else to do it. But, I digress.... Anyway, even given that the work was definitely not up to par, I still paid them (because the main part, the patio was really nice). We mutually agreed that our bill would be $250 off because of two items that weren't completed. Today, about 30 days after they completed work, one of the sub-contractors (not the Red Bull addict) showed up on my front porch saying he hadn't been paid and was filing a mechanic's lien. Sigh... Two takeaway points: ALWAYS get lien waivers for anyone that steps on your property to do work. And, NEVER use Environmental Landscape (not to be confused with Environmental Landscape Management in Doraville, who, according to the reviews I've seen, might have been a better choice!)

My wife and I returned from a vacation to find our entire back yard destroyed form a huge fallen…read moreTree. After bulldozers chopped and removed everything it was a wasteland. Kevin and his guys came to the rescue and were great. He had a lot of creative ideas that were in our price range. Not only was the price right, but the work was killer. Especially considering that we had our yard landscaped earlier in the year by someone else. It was easy to compare, and Kevin's work was far and away better. I'm talking sod, bushes, trees, flowers, landscaping, sprinklers, fence paint EVERYTHING. These guys knocked it out of the park, and Kevin gave us all kinds of great pointers related to the upkeep. We've even hired his crew again to come back for some seasonal projects and upkeep. The team of workers were always friendly. My wife, who works from home, felt very comfortable having these guys around. They were very polite to us both and did great work. Throughout the project Kevin was prompt and always easy to get a hold of, even on a Sunday afternoon when I had some questions, if I didn't reach him right away he always called me back immediate. Now our yard is beautiful and I would definitely recommend Environmental Landscape to any of my friends. Great Job guys!

If I could give Sam more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!…read more Sam was responsible for the retaining walls, built in stairs, drainage work, and new backyard path as part of our much larger backyard renovation that also included astroturf and fencing. His work was the foundation that everything else depended on, and he finished in time, keeping the entire project on schedule. He built two beautiful retaining walls with integrated stairs and created a dry river rock drainage bed along the outside of our fence to help prevent erosion and washout next to our new path to the backyard. The craftsmanship is outstanding, and it's obvious he takes pride in doing things the right way. He also completed a separate project at the front of our home, removing old bushes and installing new sod. The sod has established beautifully and is doing amazingly well. Beyond the quality of his work, Sam is one of the kindest, most honest, and hardest working people we've ever hired. He communicates well, shows up when he says he will, and genuinely cares about delivering a great result. Finding someone with this level of integrity, reliability, and skill is rare. We couldn't be happier with the work he did, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for retaining walls, drainage solutions, landscaping, or hardscaping. Thank you, Sam, for an incredible job!

We had a big project to transform the side of our yard into a usable space. The infamous Joro…read moreSpiders had claimed it as their territory during the summer and fall months and the old wooden stairs were starting to fall apart. Ryan and his team at Georgian Landscape Design worked with us every step of the way to design the space so it matched our existing stone patio area and met the HOA's [relatively strict] guidelines. They built retention walls, stone staircases, installed lighting, replaced an aging fence, and planted several new arborvitaes. Everyone that has seen the new side yard have been thoroughly impressed with the aesthetics and quality craftsmanship, but the biggest compliments come from our furry family members. Our dogs love the artificial pet turf which makes their messes easy to clean and hose down and they're not killing our front lawn anymore! They do excellent work but they're not cheap. We're going to be saving up for a while before we can use them again for our next big project to give us a backyard.

We needed to refresh our patio and we turned to Georgian Landscape. This is our second project with…read moreGeorgian Landscape. Last year they re-landscaped our front yard and the results were excellent. Philip was our designer and Kevin and his team implemented the work for both projects. The patio looks so much better and the addition of a stacked stone wall adds definition to the patio space. Philip is an excellent designer, HE LISTENS! Kevin and his team are true craftsmen. They are polite and professional. I highly recommend Georgian Landscape for both landscape projects and hardscape projects.

I'm having erosion and drainage issues on my property and, based on a recommendation on Nextdoor I…read moredecided to contact Shady Grove for an estimate. First they couldn't come out until November (almost 1.5 months) just to do the estimate. Then, they have a $2500 minimum for doing work ("we're a small company", they said). In my particular case the budget/minimum might not be an issue (I don't think it's a small job). Got them to come out next week because my issue is somewhat urgent. About twenty minutes later they called back and said I was already in their database. They don't know why. The last time I had any landscape work done was several years ago, and it was not by Shady Grove. They assure me it's because they've already come out to provide an estimate. But they have no other records. They only have my name and contact information. So, because I'm in their system, they wanted to charge $75 because they "must" have come out before... No thanks. I am an fairly organized person. On a lark I searched my email history and, lo and behold, I find the email thread with Shady Grove. From 2011. Where I *CANCELED* my appointment. So, because of their poor record keeping and a need for $75 not only did they lose an entire project but they also earned a negative review and lost any potential for future work. In the grand scheme of things looking at their other reviews on other sites it's clear that they do quality work. But I can't deal with this kind of silly shenanigans.

We recently hired SG to do some landscaping, hardscaping and water management and drainage design…read moreand they were a dream to work with. They worked with us to create options that balanced cost and complexity, drew out a plan before beginning so we knew exactly what we'd get, and didn't freak out when we asked for changes. They also arrived on time and completed everything according to schedule. What sets SG apart for me, though, is their high level of taste and design and their incredible attention to detail. Whenever Fern saw something that was not up to her exacting standards (even if we thought it was fine) she would have her team break it down and start over. As a result we are extremely happy with the result and recommend them highly. After seeing so many landscaping companies with mixed reviews, I'm really happy we found the gold standard.
