Lee's Oriental Landscaping

Lee's Oriental Landscape was a pleasure to deal with, professional, whose results were of the highest quality. The design and implementation were flawless and the end result was surpassed our expectations. Thank you!

"Wow". That's the most common response we get when people see how our lush, mature backyard with a wet and virtually unusable lawn was transformed to an "oasis" where we can enjoy the entire space AND have all of our storm water issues resolved. They also revamped our outdoor patio area to make it more usable as well. The best response so far came from our arborist: "it feels like it has always been this way and already feels like an established garden".

If possible, I would give them 10 stars. The whole process from start to finish was the most professional experience we've ever had with a contractor. He was thoroughly engaged and responsive through out the entire project and honestly, I relied on him and had complete trust in his expertise. The "art" in John Lee's business name is truly accurate.

He used his bobcat to cut and carve the land like an artist would use a brush on their canvas. John selected everything for us, except for several specimen trees that I picked from his nursery. The nursery is beyond extraordinary in what they have. The remaining plant material was selected by John and many were quite unique and hard to find at most landscape nurseries. Top notch quality through and through. We are beyond delighted with the outcome of this project. Thanks so much John and Fidel.

Lee's Oriental Landscape Art, LLC has been amazing! After scheduling a visit to see his nursery, John Lee was very attentive to our needs and was able to design the perfect design/landscape for our front yard. After we had received the design, which included a water feature our next step was HOA approval. Throughout waiting through the approval process, John Lee was very patient and even gave us updates on his end/scheduling/etc.

Once our design was approved, John Lee was able to schedule for the work. John Lee and crew were able to complete the work morning-late afternoon with no issues. After completion, John Lee gave us tips/pointers to care for the new plants/water fountain. All in all, we are very impressed with Lee's Oriental Landscape Art, and their design, care, communication, pricing, etc. We would highly recommend!

What started as an impulse trip to a nursery 7 months ago, has culminated in THE most beautiful private garden I've ever had the pleasure to stand in. With Covid in full swing, and no chance to travel abroad, I came to John Lee with a simple ask, "can you bring a taste of asia to my home?" And bring he did! John and I spent a couple weeks going back and forth on a landscaping design, before ultimately deciding that the current deck needed to be scrapped for something more fitting. John came up with a new deck design that gently opened up to the garden, without obstructing line of sight.

With that done we worked out the rest of the details, ultimately incorporating a dry stream to help with water management, which had been an issue since the day I purchased the house. Working with John on this project has been a delight, and I'm completely satisfied with the service he has provided. I've included some pictures in this review, but keep in mind that I'm far from a photographer.

John has transformed our overgrown and chaotic rear garden into a beautiful, calm space that incorporated but reorganized much of the existing material. The result reflects John's artistic ability in envisioning the space as well as his practical capabilities in placing large trees and boulders in awkward areas - all quietly and without fuss. It was an absolute pleasure working with John Lee and I thoroughly recommend him.

We would enthusiastically recommend John Lee to anyone seeking an Asian-style garden! He provided superb service from beginning to end during the renovating our small, overgrown suburban garden in Maryland. We selected John's services over others because of his obvious finesse with Asian design, his nearby nursery, and his long-term maintenance service.

He was willing to meet at our home on a weekend convenient to our schedules, listened to our ideas, and offered elegant, clever, and practical solutions, including those that repurposed existing plants and harmonized with neighbors' properties. His computer design helped us visualize the outcome before installation and hit the mark for our needs and budget.

He invited us to choose plants from his nursery that is bursting with a diverse collection of beautiful, carefully tended Asian trees, shrubs, and lanterns. He even offered to meet with us at a quarry to select some unique boulders. The installation was extremely professional and efficient and John's presence enabled a few last minute changes that we requested. Billing was clear and prompt. Thanks to John, we (and our neighbors) will enjoy many years gazing on our beautiful Asian garden.

I've been a client of John Lee's for going on 10 years. He first designed and installed an Asian garden in my small backyard. He turned a bare, grungy area into an intimate space that my friends and I have continually enjoyed during all seasons of the year. He has also I installed little vignettes in my front yard and turned it into a one of a kind presentation. His regular maintenance visits keep my spaces healthy, neat, and beautiful. I highly recommend his design, installation, and maintenance services!

John was wonderful to work with in creating this beautiful landscape for us. His vision of what will look best in the areas that needed attention was spot on. In meeting with us, John was always on time. In developing the plan, he encouraged us to communicate our thoughts and, as the project unfolded, modified the initial concept as needed so that we all were pleased with the outcome.

The work started and ended as planned, and the areas were always left in a clean and neat condition. He is certainly one of the best contractors with whom we have ever dealt.
