Lavish Gardens Landscape

Lavish Gardens Landscape gave us the backyard that we have been waiting for for almost 20 years. From meeting with Robert the designer to having the work done by Shane and his crew I knew we were in good hands. I love the model that they use, the crew is not spread out over a number of different projects at one time. They come in and do the project to completion and then move onto the next one.

I love this because it makes less of a chance to get materials and needs confused with multiple ones running at once with the same crew. Robert worked with us on a design from the start. We had a rough sketch of what he wanted and a basic idea of how we wanted it to look and he made it into a blue print that was exactly what we wanted and how we saw it in our mind.

He had a couple of edits and a complete revamp at one point and he was flexible with us and willing to work with the budget that we had. He was open and honest with us and that speaks volumes to us. We did end up upping our budget on this project but it was money well spent. If you are lucky enough to have Shane the supervisor for your project and Josh is with him you will be assured you will get the best that they can do. Shane always welcomed me to come out and see what was happening and learn about what was going in and how to maintain and fix things if needed. Shane is always making sure that the work being done is done to what the client wants and willing to make changes if needed.

Our waterfall was the main obstacle in our project and that was Shane's baby. He worked on this so hard and put so much thought into it, we knew he cared for us not only as clients but as people as well. Josh knowns his craft and knows how to do it well. He always checked in from the wall to the sod to the sprinklers, he always made sure it was done as the client would want it. Lavish Garden Landscape Designer Robert made a dream become the blueprint/plan. Shane, Josh and the rest of the crew brought the design into reality. We love the work Lavish did.

5 days to respond to my inquiry only to then tell me he hopes I have a vision for my backyard to reach his $10,000 project minimum. Incredible.

We decided not to move forward with this company based on their outrageous over priced estimate, coupled with the facts they claim they are way too busy. Getting on schedule appears to be too far out on the calendar. The guy who provided us the quote was nice and responsive but the numbers did NOT add up. Do your homework people before going with any landscape company or anyone who intends to do work at your home. Get lots of estimates and don't be afraid to wait for the right person/right company to come along. Happy hunting!

After being pushed out more than once, our job was supposed to start 4/20 and last 1 week. It's 6/15, and it's not complete. In 2 months, they managed to: - forget to turn sprinklers back on for over a week and kill part of my lawn - transplant dead plants from front to back because they left them unplanted for 9 days while they worked on other jobs and then tell me they warned me against transplanting - flood the backyard because they forgot to attach wires to sprinkler system and turn off manual shut off - stain the fence due to the above - set timer to go off on multiple zones at the same time which causes all zones to have to run full cycle turning all zones except lawn to turn swampy under the rocks - use the wrong rocks in my backyard Every single employee apologized profusely and mentioned the office has everyone overbooked and overworked.

They were pulled off for jobs in Lincoln and Cool and other various ones where they had to fix mistakes. R-U-N. I've spent close to $400K on upgrades at this house (pool, kitchen, landscaping, and internal jobs - with about 20 different contractors), and this by far was like burning $20K. Waste of time, money, and stress when I could have had a landscaper do it for half the money and time.

When I invited Lavish Gardens to provide me a garden in my backyard, I never imagined the oasis that I would get! Karina is very professional, and her creativity is amazing. I gave Karina a clean sheet to work with, and I was truly blown away with her work. I love my backyard as it has come to life. The fish and frogs in the pond; the dragonflies that light on the lily pads; the bumble bees in the sage and echinacea, the finches in the magnolia; the robins bathing in the stream. I just love listening to the water rippling down the rocky waterfall. My backyard provides such peace and tranquility to the busyness of life.

Karina is amazing at what she does. She creates spaces you didn't think were possible to have in your own back yard. Give her a call, you won't be disappointed.

Excellent quality, customer service, and one-stop solution for your landscaping needs. Michael Cole helped us start one of his on-staff landscape architects to design our home, and provided us high-quality pricing options and suggested options to begin. We were not able to afford the entire yard, but finished the first phase this past summer. Lavish Gardens was able to accommodate many unforeseen items throughout the process.

My wife and I could not have expected better service under our circumstances. The work was not cheap, but the materials and labor that went into the project make me wonder how the company earns a profit on the work. We got a really good deal, and now have a beautiful gate and fence in our side yard, and we look forward to having them return for future work.

Lavish Gardens created a beautiful water feature for us - a 10ft x 15ft pond, with a 15ft stream. It is so much more than what we asked for! The construction team was pleasant, polite & very hard working in +30° heat. I would highly recommend the services provided by this landscaping business.

We had just built a pool and needed to put in landscape all around the pool and down one side of our house. It was a pretty big project and we got four bids from local landscape companies before we made our decision to hire Lavish Gardens Landscape. The main reason we hired Mike's company was because he was very detailed in his estimate and was knowledgeable about irrigation and plants.

The crew was hard-working and accommodating. Supervision of the crew was hit and miss, but Mike was always available to consult. As with any large project, things come up and adjustments have to be made, but Mike was very fair in the negotiation process for adjustment pricing. We were very pleased with the quality of plant materials Lavish Gardens was able to access for us. Our landscape looks beautiful and we are enjoying our new backyard!

Although I did not hire Lavish Gardens for my job, they were GREAT at responding to my job inquiry. As big a part of the actual job is, is communication before and during. There are too many companies that do not respond at all, so I appreciate that Lavish Gardens did!

We had a large side yard with garden beds and fruit trees that had gotten out of control with weeds and overwhelming. We wanted to save the trees, replace the garden beds with professionally installed taller country manor stone ones, and have low-maintenance ground cover to replace the problem areas. Dan with Lavish Gardens was prompt to schedule a visit and provide an estimate.

And very responsive for answering questions and providing revisions. Others we got an estimate from became unresponsive. We were assigned a project manager and start date promptly after signing and are absolutely thrilled with what was accomplished in less than two weeks! The team was very professional, we love the new garden beds, trimmed trees, and ground cover!

And they were very professional about cleaning up when the project was completed. Highly recommend! We're already planning to have Lavish Gardens update our front landscaping next year!

Horrible. All promises broken. Took months instead of a week to complete. We ended up replacing MANY of the plants they recommended. I could go on for pages but really not worth my energy. NOT RECOMMENDED. We were truly disappointed in the company. They were very pricey and we should have had the experience they talk about on their website. Our yard was a mess for MONTHS.

They kept saying it was a 7 day job. We got bumped every day so they could do other jobs. They did not kill the grass and it pretty much ALL came back. We were shocked that Michael the owner really did not care. Did not call us back or respond to our emails. Also, had a hard time getting our receipts to take full advantage of the City's rebate. They kept begging for a good review as well.

I had Lavish do my landscape front and back a few months ago. Sadly one of my plants (an azalea) looked completely dead and two others (both lavender so maybe I picked the wrong plant) look iffy. Everything else is growing in very nicely so far. I sent a message with a picture of the dead looking azalea and they came right away with a replacement!

I had Lavish Gardens landscape my front yard. They did an okay job but they over sold me with too many plants and bushes. Over time I have had to pull out more plants and bushes due to over crowding and over planting. They initially delivered and tried to plant the wrong trees. Also, they only want to do big yard projects and won't come out to estimate small jobs. Was not terribly impressed with Lavish Gardens and there are better and more hungry landscapers out there.

We loved working with Lavish Gardens and their crew. Our backyard job was fairly small. However, we always felt like we were being treated as prized customer. Michael Cole, Lavish Gardens owner, kept us apprised of all steps in in process. Plus, we were having our pool resurfaced at the same time. Michael took care of all the coordination between their work and the pool work, and both projects were done perfectly.

After Lavish Gardens completed our hardscaping, it rained before the sealant had a chance to completely set. When we let them know about the problem, they came and fixed it with no hassle at all. We highly recommend Lavish Gardens for home landscaping.

We had a representative spend time to come out to our new home. Never heard another word. Reached out to them, still nothing. Wasted our time. Unreliable. Job will be tens of thousands of dollars. She told us before coming out they will not do any work under $2,000. Wanted us to buy a design from her $500. Seems thats what she really wanted, not our project. Id think teice, unless you have unlimited time to waste.

I had someone from the company come out to give an estimate. The woman who arrived was very nice, though she seemed a tad unorganized. We chatted about the project, which was just 390 sq ft of artificial turf. she said the company would email me an estimate by the end of the week, it was Tuesday so I was surprised an estimate would take that long.

I was also slightly concerned because I had already had two other companies out to give me an estimate, and both of them mentioned concern about drainage. The woman from lavish gardens did not mention any drainage issues at all, almost like she did not think or know that there might be an issue. So it did not give me a lot of confidence that she knew much about actual landscaping. Come Monday I still hadn't received an estimate so I texted the woman who came out to my house, she said they would send it right away. Never got anything.

Incredible services from beginning to end! Mike the owner is great and listens to clients to advise and carry out their wishes. We went to another designer and paid for a design that didn't do it for us. Mike at lavish connected us with his designer Erin and she was awesome she connected and educated us resulting with the perfect design. The construction estimate was more than our budget. Mike developed options that did not compromise the design within our budget. Ivan and the crew were great / we alway knew when they were coming.

They were on time and respectful to us and the neighbors. They always left the work site in order. They communicated when there were issues and decisions he'd to be made. They explained the pros and cons and offered suggestions. Great plant selections and the pavers look great! The water feature is beautiful and the fire pit is perfect. Lavish brought balance earth wind fire and water in our yard it is now an oasis.

They answered our questions and made sure our backyard had the look and feel we wanted. Gave feedback on selection of fountain and patio cover and sensitive to lines of sight textures fragrances sound and color. What was even more remarkable they finished early! When we brought different elements he made sure they were incorporated with style he wasn't trying to up sale the yard is even more beautiful at night.

Great work great experience highly recommend-design awesome work crew excellent- office staff great we will miss them. I think we all were happy and could feel the transformation from backyard to a Lavish oasis

After numerous attempts to find someone to helps us with our gardens, we feel very fortunate to have found Lavish. We have been working with Karina and her team for 3 years now and she has literally saved our gardens. Her many suggestions have allowed us to continue to improve them including using many of the materials we already have. She is easy to work with, innovative in her approach, and very professional when discussing things we want to achieve.

Her attention to detail always ensures we have year round decoration. This is especial true when she brings Christmas to our deck, window boxes, and throughout our home. And if that isn't enough, she is a wonderful artist. We look forward to many more years of working with Karina and her crew. Ernie and Debbie Brackin

I highly recommend Lavish Gardens to cover any of your landscaping needs. I had prepared a design for our small ~400 square foot patio that included new concrete, three small trees, several accent plants, and an expanded fence and pathway down the side of our home. I was pretty overwhelmed in the initial phases of receiving multiple estimates until I met with Michael and felt that he genuinely cared about my project and that I could trust his team. Michael, Ivan, and his team were highly professional and flexible throughout the whole process. Michael was great to work with to bring the design to life and provided many helpful tips and suggestions while maintaining our original vision and keeping the cost within our budget. Ivan was also one of the best supervisors that I have worked with.

He was flexible with any design changes during the job, paid close attention to all the intricate details, and worked hard to get the job done within their estimated time frame. The team made sure to clean after themselves after every day, leaving the work site safe and organized and the street cleaned up of any work materials that were used that day.

I also had to leave town during the construction for and they were fine with putting things on hold until I returned, yet informed me that they could continue the work if I preferred. Michael and Ivan were great at answering any questions that I had to maintain the plants after the job completion. The project was completed ahead of schedule and the final product was everything that I imagined and more.

My wife and I are so excited to be able to enjoy our new backyard and the amount of additional space and privacy we got out of expanding the fence is amazing. If you find yourself in a similar situation as myself where you felt like you couldn't decide on which landscaping service to use, you found your team. Thank you again, Lavish gardens! I look forward to the next landscaping project we have but will enjoy this one as long as possible.

Karina Lapierre has provided wonderful work for me in my gardens. She is knowledgeable, creative and has a genuine passion for gardening and pond treatments. Also, she works hard, is reliable and has been able to hire talented people to work with her. I heartily recommend her!

We had some drainage and landscape problems and Lavish landscapes did a great job solving our issues. We no longer have water from rain storms going through our garage. They did a beautiful job putting in a new driveway and small front patio area with a waterfall. They also did a dry creek bed in the front yard that looks very nice. The workers were very nice, helpful and willing to make changes as the process progressed.

They were always checking to see if what they were doing was pleasing to my expectations. Great team effort on their part. They always cleaned up the areas in process every night. Michael, the owner was a great and easy guy to work with always wanting to make sure all our issues had all been resolved and that we were pleased with the outcomes. It was an enjoyable process much to our delight!

Karina did an amazing job this past summer in designing and building our pond. She and her staff were wonderful and so patient with us as they worked on our project. Her attention to detail was amazing and she gave us everything we asked for. We are very happy with the work she has done for us and plan to use her again in the future.

I am in love with my back yard now! Lavish Gardens did a great job. They know their stuff, and they created a beautiful and easy to maintain yard. They did the job quickly, and they were extremely responsive. Any minor issues we had were quickly resolved to our complete satisfaction. Even if the issues were caused by our changing our mind on something like rock color or plant placement. And they warranty the plants for a year, which I think is awesome. I am saving up my money and I'll have them do our front yard next. Just a really great company.

I would like to thank Lavish Gardens for turning my backyard into a lovely tranquil area. I had sod, plants, sprinkler system, flagstone patio and lights added. The team was Mike, the owner, Daniel, the designer and Derek, the contractor. The actual mechanics took about 7 days. Total time was a month. Creating the plan and setting up dates to meet took awhile. I could not be more pleased.
