We hired EDS for a major landscaping project in 2023. One of the main reasons we selected EDS was…read morethe promise of maintenance-free landscaping. We also specifically requested that our existing mature, healthy, and unique trees be preserved. These trees were an important part of our property and provided significant privacy. I was only able to stop the removal partway through the project, but several trees had already been taken out. We were told at the time that the removed trees would be replaced with new plantings that would ultimately provide a better overall appearance and maintain privacy. Unfortunately, this has not been our experience. Many of the replacement trees have struggled to survive, and within a couple of years several have died. We have already had to replace at least four trees at our own expense. In addition, when I reached out to Mark about one of the failing replacement trees, I was initially told that replacing a small pine tree would cost approximately $800. I ultimately purchased a comparable tree from Home Depot for about $70 instead. After this, communication stopped and I did not receive further responses. While the initial sales process and communication were positive, the long-term results have not reflected the premium price we paid. The loss of mature privacy trees, the need for repeated replacements, and the lack of follow-up support have left us disappointed with the overall outcome.

If you have a big, expensive project and want to let someone else design it, this company may be…read morevery good (look at the photos on their website), but if you have something small, or your own idea of what you want, look elsewhere. They were up front about having a minimum project cost of $10K. I was willing to pay at least that for work on combination of several gardens around my yard. I took Mark around the yard and told/showed him what I wanted to do. Several weeks later (and much longer than he said it would take), I went to his office to look over his plans. Nothing in the plans had any resemblance to what I told him I wanted. He wanted to rip out all the perennial flower beds that all my neighbors and I love for their year-round color (I even get many compliments even from strangers walking by). His plans replaced them all with "Japanese gardens." He told me he's been doing Japanese gardens for years, but what he wanted to do was, at best, Japanese-inspired gardens because they defied a lot of Japanese garden design principles. I've spent a lot of time studying Japanese gardens, including 2 weeks touring Japanese Gardens in and near Kyoto Japan with Judith Clancy who has written a book on the subject, so I know what is and isn't a Japanese garden. There is much more to Japanese garden design than putting rocks and trees in together. EDS did landscaping for a neighbor a number of years ago. The work in front is lovely, However, in back there are 5 evergreens that looked very nice when planted, but were placed too close to the house and now that they have grown will have to be taken out because the branches are rubbing against the siding and the trees are blocking windows. One of the berms installed and another area also became overrun with European Snow on the Mountain that required Roundup to eradicate it.

We used Phillips to landscape our back yard. It was a big project with a new patio, shrubs and…read moretrees. They were great at helping us come up with a plan for the area that would make the area more livable for us and handle water well. Plant selection was another area where they provided great advice. When it came time to put the plan into action, they worked with us on things we wanted to do ourselves to save money (demolition work), have them do, or have them subcontract to others (like pouring the new patio). I would use them again and recommend them to others.

I met with three representatives from Phillips Garden. We had a long meeting which I thought went…read morevery well. At the end, we agreed they would do a design for a patio on one side of my property. I waited several weeks but never heard back from them. When I contacted them, they informed me they were not interested in working with me. Apparently they were not going to contact me of their own volition and I felt very stupid having waited several weeks for a design and informing family members of my "great" meeting. I do have a place on a larger chunk of land, so I think perhaps the scope of the project was too large for an urban landscaping company. However, I think it would have been much nicer to have told me this and not have me foolishly under the impression that they would do work for me when they had no intentions whatsoever. The whole situation was unpleasant and bizarre.
