I am happy with the service, quality of work, and value that was provided in April 2021. To solve a drainage problem in my backyard, Custom Gardens installed a French drain and sump, graded the yard, and put down sod. One year later, and the solution is working great. My back yard now looks better than my front yard. Service: Yard drainage

We used Custom Gardens for landscaping that we had done recently! They were very professional, had great design advice and are very nice people to work with. Their team worked nonstop to get our project completed in a timely manner. We will definitely use them for any future projects. We also just signed up for their Garden Care Service. I highly recommend them.

We engaged Custom Gardens to renovate and convert our large front yard to indigenous plants and trees. They did an excellent job on schedule and on budget. In addition that they recommended modifications to our problematic drainage system and executed the modifications. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Custom Gardens. I Offer my highest recommendation for the job they did.

We have used Custom Gardens for a major landscaping project and recently for mulching our yard, they did a good job on both. The workers who just did our mulch were pleasant to work with and they worked hard from the time they started in the morning until they finished, they didn't waste any time. We highly recommend CG for your landscaping needs.

Our family has been using Custom Gardens for our lawn maintenance and landscaping needs for over a decade. They just get better each year. Our property is gorgeous and we don't have to worry about it. If something needs attention, we send an email and we know it will get taken care of. We highly recommend this company and their talented, courteous team.

Local family run business. Great quality and professional. Try not to flame a small company before talking to the owner about your problems. I've worked with this company for a while now and they do a great job with all of their clients. Attentive to small details and large commercial projects, give this hardworking company a try.

Terrible service and did not provide the services discussed. I met multiple times with them to discuss and review a landscape plan. I paid 50 % upfront. They gave vague time frames for completion. It was supposed to be a computer generated 3D layout. After repeatedly asking for the plan over 2 months I was told one of the owners was at fault for the delay and that they couldn't produce the computer plan.
They did eventually provide a hand written plan. I went with another company as I lost faith in this company. I am now receiving invoices for payment for the balance. Would avoid them.

We purchased a home on the Northern Neck and contracted with Custom Gardens for a landscape design plan. We worked closely with David Chewey and Barbara Schuler. The design that they came back with was beyond all of our expectations. It was obvious that they paid attention to our concerns, including our budget. We are excited to continue working with Custom Gardens to see their fantastic landscape plan come to reality.

Custom Gardens installed a paver patio in my backyard earlier this year and I was very impressed with the crew, their hard work and especially and their attention to detail. The crew showed up on time every day, put in a hard day's work (one day during a snow storm) and my patio turned out PERFECTLY. I highly recommend Custom Gardens in Yorktown, Va, to anyone on the Peninsula including Williamsburg to install hardscape or complete any landscape project you can dream of. I will use Custom Gardens in the future! They were a joy to work with any have won my loyal support!
