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.

Throughout the process, Eli kept me informed of decisions, costs, and timelines. I enthusiastically recommend HIllside Gardening to Rockbridge County residents.

I was very pleased with the quality of his work, his attitude, his knowledge, the experienced employees who treated the job as if it were their own, and with Jonathan's prices. I had used other businesses in the past but they paled in comparison. Those without proper knowledge can cost you more problems in the long run. I highly recommend this business! D. H.

Above Ground Tree & Landscape differentiates itself from other local tree care specialists in the…read moreareas of knowledge, quality of work and courteous customer service. As opposed to the many slash-and-burn chainsaw outfits, Above Ground takes an approach similar to that of the medical profession: health and wellness. It starts with a consultative philosophy. Owner Jonathan Sledge is one of only a few local certified professional arborists. Arborists are trained to spot and correct problems, and provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to ensure the well-being of your trees. In our first meeting with Jonathan, we learned more about the species, growth characteristics and proper care of our trees and shrubs than we received from the so-called landscape experts at the nurseries. And the charge? Nothing - but armed with the knowledge, most agree to contract with Above Ground to perform the recommended work. Above Ground doesn't do damaging things like "top" trees or shape them into lollypops. When they make cuts, they are done for a specific purpose and they know how to do it in a manner whereby the tree can heal itself. More importantly, they don't scale trees with spikes which - hello - can open wounds in the bark and expose it to insects, water and disease. Instead, they use a rigging system which is safer for both tree and human. In addition, they don't simply drop the limbs and/or the entire tree, an approach that tends to leave deep gouges in the ground or damages surrounding plants. Branches are tied off and gently lowered to the ground; trees are cut in sections and similarly lowered. The jobsite is left remarkably clean. Tarps are placed under the tree base, logs and branches to catch the sawdust from the chainsaws. Any leaves or small branches that fall from pruning are raked up and removed. Above Ground also understands the value of customer service. To maintain good neighbor-relations, Jonathan proactively approached our neighbors to let them know about the work he and his team were going to do and asked whether he could briefly access their driveway to haul off debris. When a neighbor compliments the work of something as intrusive as tree removal (trucks, loud chainsaws, etc.), you know you've found a great vendor! Jonathan readily admits that tree removal is not his favorite thing. Yet selective removal enables remaining trees to thrive. And weak, dead trees must be addressed to ensure safety. What really piques his interest is plant health care - creating a plan to foster strong growth and homeowner enjoyment. Interestingly, given their expertise and superior care, Above Ground is not any more expensive than lesser tree care outfits. Of course, you can always find someone cheaper. But we tend view trees like a bit like humans. If you do too, wouldn't you want a board certified doctor to diagnose and perform your surgery?
