We had Joshua and Evelyn come out to take a look at our brand new yard. We finished building and now we needed to have something amazing done in the yard. Our yard was not easy, it's long and narrow, there are trees that block the sun and where the house stands it is very close to the neighboring lot. Also we are not avid gardeners, we wanted something different that did not require to much work. After coming out and walking the space, and sending up their drone. They came back with a design incorporating what our desires were, and what plants would survive us and the conditions in our yard. Evelyn is an expert with plants and plant identification, she really is amazing. They brought us our landscape plan, and one on a pdf. This included where we would get the most sun, which was very accurate as I thought the most sun was in a different spot. They came and went to work, and I mean work since there was nothing here but dirt and poison hemlock. Joshua and his crew put in deer fencing, a privacy fence, garden boxes, a shed, a stone patio, in the backyard alone. In front along the street we got a circular driveway, a stone wall around the house, a path from the top down to the driveway that will accommodate moving garden tools, and the garbage can up and down. The poison hemlock was taken care of. We now have a mini orchard, four garden boxes, and the most amazing ground cover, phacelia, which has come up twice, spring and we are watching it grow again this fall. Phacelia grows about two to three feet, it is a sea of blue moving with the wind and is low maintenance. It is just mind blowing to be in the garden having morning coffee with hundreds of busy bees! They just love it. Someone with bees in Port Townsend has benefited from the phacelia in our garden. Your Welcome! Savory brought in soil from Shorts Family Farm, and I have swiss chard that is three feet high, it looks like something from the tropics, it is amazing. I planted tomatoes in the garden boxes along with romaine, pea, parsley, beets, and some beans. Due to the soil, all did exceptionally well. It has been years since I grew food. At first I wasn't sure I wanted to grow much, but now I have been so encouraged by this harvest, that I am already planning what to grow next spring. Savory met our expectations and beyond. They showed up everyday and worked hard. We still call Joshua about what is what and how to take care of it, and he is very quick to come out and walk around with us. If something is growing that I don't recognize I take a picture of it and send it to Evelyn, she can identify accurately from the photo. Savory is part of our Port Townsend family. If you are looking for something beautiful and done right call Savory. We highly recommend them. read more

Josuha made time to visit my home shortly after I called for an estimate. Drawing upon considerable expertise and paying close attention to what I had in mind, he designed the perfect fence for me, complete with 3 gates that harmonize with both the fence and the house. (By sharing drawings and photographs with me, he made sure that his design had my approval before construction began.) Work on the fence began when anticipated and was pretty much completed within 48 hours by 2 hardworking men who were consistently courteous. Moreover, without being asked to do so (or charging me to do so), they carted away a large pile of branches that had accumulated when shrubbery had to be pruned to avoid interfering with the new fence. (They also did the pruning--but only after asking for permission and showing me the branches that they recommended removing.) When 3 weeks later deer figured out how to get into my garden because of a small gap between my fence and a neighbor's fence, Joshua returned and saw that the gap was quickly patched. (My garden has now been deer-free for more than a month--a great blessing because deer are prolific in my neighborhood and had come to see my garden as an all-you-can-eat buffet.) I recommend Savory highly and without reservation. I am delighted with my fence and the service I received for a fair price. read more

Joshua contacted me and is re-doing the ditch and the gravel around front entrance so it is level and I can open my gate all the way. He brought in dirt so I can plant things in the terraced wall he built, he carefully removed and replanted 3 shrubs once the dirt was there and also planted a small tree. Based on his work to make things right, I would recommend his excavating company. read more

Installed a fence tall enough to keep deer out at my house in Port Towsend. They were very professional and showed up when they said they would. Work was done very well and I have been very happy with the fence! I highly recommend Savory Landscaping. read more

We were very happy with Joshua and Sean's work for our yard. Starting with a sloped and graded lot they worked with our ideas to make a beautiful and low maintenance yard. They built retaining walls to solve some erosion problems and creatively installed solid fencing to keep our dog contained. Communication was timely. The project was completed on budget which was fair for the scope of the work entailed. I would happily recommend Savory Landscaping to others on the basis of my confidence in Joshua's expertise and collaborative nature. read more

Jason was great! We wanted some of our pathways on our steep lot regraded to be more friendly for people with mobility issues. He was very patient with us. Before he arrived we accidently exposed a rock that we thought would be a nice bench. He talked it through with us and he came up with a creative solution - it is tucked in into next to an existing basalt rock wall. I LOVE sitting on the bench and looking around the garden! We asked him to repurpose a LOT of basalt rocks to establish a relocated basalt rock raised bed and establish a parking pad on our sloped lot. There was a zen quality to his work. read more

Joshua and Will were awesome, worked quickly and efficiently while transforming our dated yard into something we can enjoy. Joshua is truly skilled with equipment and makes beautiful rock walls. Bonus character assessment, our doggo absolutely loves him. read more

What a joy it is to have a landscape project done & have no complaints whatsoever! Joshua is the consummate professional who shows up on time, returns calls, listens to input, does what he says he's going to do and does it well with creative flair. read more

We had such a fantastic experience with Joshua! From the get go (the quote call) he impressed us with his knowledge of what grows best in the area - when we wanted grass he educated us that cover crop would be much better for our long term plans (having a large garden many years from now) to be able to add extra nutrients to the area. And his quote was very professional and easy to understand. And he had great suggestions for long term plans with our space. He built us a road, as well as planted cover crop and he did it extremely quickly, kept us very up to date, and was always kind and helpful, sending pictures as the job went along. The road is perfect and exactly what we wanted. Also, he was very kind when we mid-way changed our minds and wanted a different shape. Extremely easy to work with. We will definitely be booking him for our future landscaping jobs and are so happy we found such a great team! read more
