They truly take pride in what they do with both planting and maintenance. They have totally revitalized our backyard that suffered from years of lazy landscaping with really fantastic plants, they treat the turf appropriately, all in all I could not be happier, professional, courteous and reliable and also which is unusual for other landscapers they are easy to communicate with. **★★★★★ — claudiaboccia, Oct. 2023** > John and his team from Creative Design are the best. They designed our back yard and what a difference it has made. They were responsive and addressed any concerns timely. Thank you for a great job! **★★★★★ — John Atkins, Oct. 2022** > CDL does great lawn and shrubbery work. They offer full service care and it shows with the grass greens up in the early spring and remains that way throughout the summer. They are very responsive to questions and requests. The only minor negative is that they are not inexpensive, but very few landscape companies are in the East End. **★★★★★ — Joseph Scaturro, Feb. 2020** > I assume all landscapers are idiots but I always reserve the right to change my mind and that's what Henry, John and their team did was change my mind. > > I was ready for my patio to take longer than promised and it to cost me more than I was quoted and neither of those things happened. Not only was the job done on time and within budget but it came out better than I could have expected. 5 Stars all day! **★★★★★ — Jason Harty, Feb. 2020** > Henry and John were caring from first look to clean-up. The exceptional work them and their crew preformed bringing my visions to life for my patio are second to none. I look forward to future projects and referring everyone who is looking for hardscape/landscape design to Henry and John. **★★★★★ — HU-853822442, Feb. 2020** > I purchased my home in Amagansett last spring. Creative Design designed and built an oasis in the backyard. From the giant patio with outdoor kitchen and fire-pit to the layers of colorful flowers, it truly is the envy of all when we entertain. I am truly a satisfied customer. **★★★★★ — vindiggy, Feb. 2017** > Creative design has done great work in my backyard. All the workers were very professional , they got the job done right the first time. Highly recommended **★★★★★ — giorgio5480, Feb. 2017** > Creative design landscaping came and delivered and a brand new backyard for me and my family to enjoy. Very professional and excellent service. Top notch company **★★★★★ — ezmail27, Jan. 2017** > These guys know what I want more than I do! Great imagination in design, quality work and attentive to detail. **★★★★★ — Robert Blair, Jan. 2017** > Creative Design does awesome work! John and his crew did some nice things to my front yard. I'm saving up to have them do the backyard. Thanks guys! **★★★★★ — Charles Eldenson, Jan. 2017** > Responsive, high quality with great value. Always had problems with my perennial garden - not any more. I always wanted additional privacy from my obnoxious neighbor (i like my privacy) and John had helped design, source and install a tree wall. Now I ask - "What Neighbor?". Am going to recommend to my friends & associated in my area. **★★★★★ — Stuart, Jan. 2017** > My Experience John Gilhooley and his team was nothing short of amazing. He transformed my ordinary backyard space into a extraordinary. Entertaining my guests during the summer is a thrill for them as well as myself and my family. ## Selected projects - [Poolscapes & Patio's](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/poolscapes-and-patio-s-pj-vj~2326913) - Location: Southampton, NY - Photos: 26 - Description: Located in East Hampton, NY.

For this East Hampton property, we designed a layered privacy plan combining structural hedge, pleached trees, and boxwood borders to fully enclose the pool terrace and entrance. Planted ahead of the season, the screening was well-established and looking finished by the time the property was in full use. - [Guest-Ready Hamptons Landscaping](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/guest-ready-hamptons-landscaping-pj-vj~7925083) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Landscape Maintenance](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/landscape-maintenance-pj-vj~7906503) - Location: East Hampton, NY - Photos: 5 - [Screening Trees](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/screening-trees-pj-vj~7833957) - Location: East Hampton, NY - Photos: 7 - [Luxury Landscape Design: Hardscape, Lighting & Planting](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/luxury-landscape-design-hardscape-lighting-and-planting-pj-vj~7827980) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Outdoor Shower](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-shower-pj-vj~7833920) - Location: East Hampton, NY - Photos: 1 - Description: This project involved the removal of an aging wood shower enclosure and surrounding fencing, which had begun to deteriorate and contribute to poor drainage conditions.
