We have a large property in Foster Park area with lots of landscaping, artificial grass meadow and patio areas. Met them both and really feel like they are knowledgeable, reliable and trustworthy. Took a while for us to find the right fit w someone who'd be coming to our home. They did a property clean up for us and now we have them coming for monthly maintenance. We also have had our irrigation all repaired and working after being all disconnected during construction etc. They have been a lifesaver! Manny was able to locate, fix or replace hose and soaking nub system. Plants are happy, especially in this heat. Definitely highly recommended !!!

While we were happy with the final product we couldn't be more disappointed with estimates and billing . They charge 3 different rates for their people on a task .

It really is unfortunate that the workers should be affected by my review as they worked hard and were on damage control as Lisa and Hal weren't present when the work was being done .

DO NOT ENGAGE...I had a nightmare experience with this man. I hired him to make a plan for our…read moregardens. He charged $500.00/hour, ($350.00 for him and $150.00 per hour for his drafts person), to provide a map of my existing layout and filled in the page with photos of other gardens with the directions of..."Put these here". I set up another meeting for him to explain how many plants and in what patterns they should be, he admonished me by saying it was not rocket science. he cancelled the first meeting 20 minutes before the meeting time. I should also mention that said plans were not enlargeable on the computer in the format it was sent, and then charged $11.00 to make (2) copies on top of a $3,700 fee. When I reviewed his copies of said plans with him, it became obvious that he could not read these plans! Beware. O, and if you decide to override this warning, be prepared that no one ever answers the phone and the mailbox is always full. In hindsight, it all adds up...

YOU'LL BE TAKEN TO THE CLEANERS! We scheduled an…read moreappointment thru Paul's assistant for a landscape design consultation. We were warned that he would charge for this service and it would take an hour or so and he would bring his drafts-person to take measurements of the yard. The fee was supposed to be $370. We figured that since a couple of our neighbors had used him that we may end up doing the same, so weren't worried about the consultation fee. Paul showed up and spent 1-1/2 hours discussing some design ideas. He also brought his daughter who was not introduced as another designer but spent her time taking measurements. When he left he said he'd have a rough bid for the design in a couple weeks. HOWEVER....3 days later we received an invoice for $1200!! That's not a joke! No design concepts, no details, no anything! Assuming this was for design work. we immediately called and told him to stop designing because we were still interviewing landscape designers. He said "oh the $1200 is just for the 1-1/2 hour consultation". He revealed that he actually brought his daughter, who was a designer and the two of them charge $300 EACH PER HOUR!!!!!! What a bunch of crap. He spent almost half his time chit chatting, and also brought his dog into the yard (without even asking us) and he proceeded to destroy all my dog's toys. No apology and no offer to replace them either! His service wasn't worth a dime! Go elsewhere. There are many great landscape designers out there who are way more talented than this guy, who won't screw you with bogus fees.

I had an idea of what I wanted, but Luke helped me adjust my idea to make it better. He is very knowledgeable about what he does and is just a nice guy.

They also installed a drip system to make the trees live their best life, and helped show us how to use it. The team cleaned up so well that our yard looks better than it did before they arrived. I would strongly recommend this company to anyone looking for landscape work.

David was really patient with us as we didn't have the biggest budget and helped us with not only a well laid out floor plan for our changing needs (it was very funky before) but also helped with our project management which I found incredibly helpful. Most important, we didn't have to hire a separate designer. He suggested very thoughtful period centric elements to build in and materials, tiles, and color schemes to ensure our home had the right feel. He introduced me to some really beautiful and unique materials I'd have never found. In the end we finished everything (including the landscaping) in 2019 before the pandemic to enjoy full time home living. My last comment is that David also works fairly quickly. Our street is older had many architects remodeling our neighbors and it seemed we had the fastest process with getting our plans completed. Highly recommend David.

The final result elevated the entire area and brought our vision to life. His crew was hardworking, professional, and clearly took pride in their work.

After discussion and the fact that one of the large trees was cracking the cmu wall I got a quote to remove all of the trees and plants (except the roses).

After this project I hired Jose and his crew to do more work at another property. I would highly recommend him.
