Working with your company was such a pleasure. All of our questions were answered and everyone was friendly, punctual and helpful. Thanks! Our new yard looks amazing! Thanks for all your dedication and hard work. The last landscaping company we hired was messy, hard to get a hold of and exceeded their original quote to us significantly. But your company is so clean, accessible and committed to value. We're definitely going to tell everyone about your great service!

Bob's Landscaping Our backyard had so many water issues because it sits low from the surrounding properties. We pretty much could not go in our backyard 5 months out of the year. After 20 years of dreaming, we decided to try to landscape to "live above the mushy ground". Bob's Landscaping was the right choice! Bob met with me to talk about solutions to our problems.
I had a few pictures and kind of a plan in my head but He completed my thoughts and recommended solutions that were needed. His extensive experience was so helpful to know how to handle the issues. We had added a screen porch and paver patio near the house which pushed the water into a concentrated area with new downspouts off the roof. I also wanted lots of perennials now that I had new planting space in the sun. Bob's plan was to build up the low spot and build a 13 ft by 16 ft ground level composite deck with benches for a lovely seating area, dining and BBQ area.
This is surrounded by a creek bed and retaining wall. There is a matching 40 ft boardwalk around the entire screen porch giving access to a large portion of the side yard and new shade garden. Bob planted over 110 perennials, 4 large trees and added the colored accent lighting. (highly recommended). We love Bob's plant recommendations and color combinations.
He even planted around and in the creek bed so it looks so natural like it had always been there. Water was directed under the deck and empties into the creek bed via a disguised pipe from the roof and buried water pipe handles water off the side gutters directing it into a swale between houses. We now have so many more areas in our yard to enjoy, it's hard to decide where to go!
We just love our new space, Bob was really great to work with and we will absolutely be using him again to completely landscape the front of the house. He really listens to you. After dreaming about this for 20 years, we got more than we hoped for. We could not be happier.
