I've had the pleasure of working with Adrian and Upscaled Yard & Gardens for the past couple of…read moreyears. There are two main differences in working with this company, as opposed to others: 1) The work is going to get done better than you envisioned. Adrian takes as much pride in his work as you would. Maybe more. 2) The price is much more reasonable than others we've had quoted. Adrian will communicate with you. I'm constantly surprised how considerate he is of your time, and all of his customers. You know when he's there, when he's leaving and when he'll be back. He takes a great deal of pride in his work; it really shows. I had him help me with the landscaping before a September wedding on the lower patio. Everyone commented on how good it looked.

Micheal worked hard all day with a brief stop for lunch, arriving at nine and leaving at five. He completed all of the work and checked in whenever he had questions about what I wanted done. He cleaned up the site and took away all of the yard waste. I was very happy with the service.

We hired Creative by Design Landscaping to redevelop our backyard in late Spring of 2017. We…read moreneeded to fix drainage issues, tear out a rotting patio and manage multiple levels of a very sloped yard. When we met Phil for the initial consultation we were impressed with his attention to detail and quality and how much he cared about doing a quality job that looks great. It was clear he took a lot of pride in his work. Phil helped us take our vision and make it into reality including stonework, curved garden beds, space for a vegetable garden, irrigation and lighting. He guided us toward practical decisions and was always transparent about cost. It was easy to work with Phil throughout the project - he was very respectful of our yard and space, communicated openly and was patient with our many questions. The work is excellent and looks outstanding. I am in awe of the attention to detail that Phil gave our project. I would hire Creative By Design again in an instant and will recommend them to anyone who asks.

I used Trevor's services a few years ago and had the same complaints that a couple of other…read morecustomers mentioned in their reviews. Some work was completed just fine but the rest was left undone and even though I contacted him repeatedly asking if he would be coming back to finish work we had agreed that he do, he never responded. Fortunately, he wasn't paid for anything that he hadn't done so I didn't lose money, but I was still disappointed. There are far too many people out there claiming to run businesses, especially landscaping, who often don't have the skills and/or proper business practices to keep their customers satisfied and their businesses financially viable. They really give a bad name to other competent landscaping businesses that do excellent work and treat their customers fairly.
