We first worked with John Russell Landscape Architect when we were trying to control rain water…read morerun-off that was turning our wooded back yard and swimming pool into a muddy mess after every heavy rain. This happened because our yard was at the bottom of a slope that collected all of the rainwater from six neighboring properties. John developed an attractive and very effective solution to our problem that created two stunning lawn areas and that completely protected our pool. This substantially increased our property value and turned an eyesore part of our property into an area we thoroughly enjoyed. We worked with John again after we moved to a new more urban setting where we again encountered water run-off problems following several what our city engineer called '100 year rains'. John again developed a solution that controlled the water while enhancing both our flower beds, vegetable patch, and lawn. John has a great aesthetic sense and a unique understanding of the power and value of rainwater. Although he can be busy, requiring his clients to wait for their turns, he's accurate in predicting when he'll be able to do the work. His cost estimates are detailed and very accurate. And his team of workers do a terrific job and show great respect for your property. When they're finished, you'll be ready to entertain the same day. He stands behind his work and has been very quick to come and deal with a couple of minor issues that developed several months after he completed the initial project. He's our go to resource for all landscape problems.

Two weeks prior to the job beginning, owner David Sharp met with us at our home. Not only is he one…read moreof the nicest men we've ever met, he is a true designer and incredible businessman. David walked us through each part of our "dream backyard" with creativity and explanation. David educated us from the get go on landscaping. Boulders, water, fire. He explained the three things that make a landscape warm and inviting. When the crew arrived to begin our hard scape/landscape work, we were so impressed with each young man and their kindness and professionalism. Every morning as the crew arrived, they greeted us, shared their goals for the day and answered every question we had. This company has INCREDIBLE INTEGRITY as well. When David Sharp gave us his word on costs, any extras etc., he stood behind every word! There were NO surprises. We were at ease during the entire job! We looked forward to the crew arriving each morning. Our new backyard is beyond everything we dreamed of! "EXCELLENCE" is the word we use to describe this company. We have recommended David Sharp and DSLD LAND MANAGEMENT to our friends and family, and we recommend this incredible company to everyone who is considering having landscaping done. Y'all will be so happy with the results!! Thank you David Sharp and your excellent crew! We will be hiring you again for future work!

The recommended repair was made after I paid additional money on top of the quote because he couldn't get the rock at the price he quoted. Chris wanted a 5 star review as soon as the job was done. Well after the first rain, I still had the same issue. I contacted Chris several times and he made arrangements no less than 5 times to come out and correct the issue. He tried to make it out that I was wanting something for free. What I wanted was the drainage issue corrected as stated. I could have left it alone and would have the same issue. In the long run he never even showed back up. Time after time he had a vehicle issue, staffing issue, employee going to rehab issue. He also never reached out to me. I always had to inquire if he was ever going to come back out. I enclosed a copy of all conversations I had with him. I found it comical that he suggested flex seal. I am done contacting him at this point. It appears that this one is going to have to go to court. I definitely recommend staying away from this crook.

The representative stated they would stop by at 3:45 on Friday June 12, 2026. I left work early so I could get home and contacted the representative to ask if he was still coming over.

When I asked if he was going come by and talk about it, he would not deviate from the price even though he did not have better measurements or talk to me about what I wanted done.
