I was especially pleased with the "clean-up" each day which was great. We also had many gawkers looking at the patio after completion. We were pleased with the process, price and completion. **Comment from Engledow Estates:** > Gary, > Thanks so much. We are glad you happy with the finished product! > Best regards, > Donny Duke ### All 8 reviews **★★★★★ — DONALD HAWES, Nov. 2017** > Karen & I have been very pleased with the landscaping work done by Engledow since they took over the contract in our subdivision. In addition to consistently good work by all the crews, the workers are all polite, helpful and friendly. We have also appreciated the promptness with which they have responded to our requests sent through the office. When problems have arisen or we have a unique request, they routinely give good advice and manage things promptly. Thank you, Engledow team! **★★★★★ — Judy Hagan, Nov. 2017** > Engledow did a beautiful job on our new front entry hardscape and landscape. We replaced a standard stoop and narrow entry sidewalk with a greatly enlarged stoop and wide entry walk using Unilock Pavers. The entire front yard landscaping was redesigned while saving and incorporating some mature trees. Donny Duke took our ideas and developed a great plan meeting our goals and giving our home a fresh updated look. We continue to receive compliments about our new front yard. **★★★★★ — John Pearson, Nov. 2017** > Donny and his team from Engledow Estates took control of our existing landscaping and within a short period of time added and modified it to where it changed the entire dynamics of its appearance. It has an elegance and natural look that blends into our home. We are so proud and excited to experience the new "look!" We would recommend their team to anyone. **Comment from Engledow Estates:** > John, > Thank you so much! It was a really fun project! > Best regards, > Donny **★★★★★ — dmmorton1, July 2017** > We were very pleased about the organization and completion of an upgrade of our swim/spa patio and outdoor kitchen. Mr Duke took great care in the initial planning of the project and provided many significant ideas for the plan . > It was obvious that he was experienced in the design and arrangements for the work planning with his crew. The project was completed in the proposed time frame and the site was left in very good order . The objectives of the plan were possible due to his continuing interest and his close coordination with his team of workers. > We would be pleased to recommend him to other future clients. **Comment from Engledow Estates:** > Thank you. Your project was very rewarding to see such a dramatic change take place. We greatly appreciate your kind review of our company. > Best regards, > Donny Duke **★★★★★ — Michael Stayton, July 2017** > They did an outstanding job on redoing our entire hardscapes for the driveway, sidewalks, and swimming pool deck over a two year period. **Comment from Engledow Estates:** > Dear Mr. & Mrs. Stayton, > Thank you. We greatly appreciate the kind review, and we certainly have enjoyed our continued working relationship over the past few years. > Best regards, > Donny Duke **★★★★★ — Greg Hale, July 2017** > I contacted Donny Duke, Engledow Estates, about landscaping lighting for my patio area. He provided expert guidance. I was thinking I needed more and he advised less. Who does that? He was exactly right in what he recommended and we are better for it. **Comment from Engledow Estates:** > Thanks Greg, > We appreciate your kind words, and all the other direct referrals to your neighbors! > Best regards, > Donny Duke **★★★★★ — Ellen Malayter, July 2017** > I have been using Engledow Estates on several projects over the past seven years. Our original project was extensive. Although they are on the higher end price point, it is worth it. They know their stuff, get it right and stand behind the work! **Comment from Engledow Estates:** > Thanks Ellen, > We are looking forward to working with you again on the next project. > Best regards, > Donny Duke ## Selected projects - [Multi-Phase Project](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/multi-phase-project-pj-vj~2785140) - Location: Carmel, IN - Photos: 21 - [The Wall](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-wall-pj-vj~2785209) - Location: Indianapolis, IN - Photos: 4 - Description: Repair of an un-safe wall and steps.
