### All 8 reviews

**★★★★★ — Lynn Pruitt, Feb. 2020**

> If there ever was a company that exceeded our hopes and expectations, it is The Collins Group.  Never having worked with them before we didn't know what to expect.  In all honestly, they blew us away!  Having gone through construction and landscaping in our various moves, we had some idea how the project should go... well were we wrong!  This company does it better, faster and more professional than any other we have EVER worked with.  Every worker was kind, courteous and professional.  We enjoyed the process! (Not something we have ever said before!)  I can not recommend this company enough.  We are customers for life!!

**★★★★★ — John M., Nov. 2017**

> The Collins Group/JDP Design outlined a comprehensive plan and implemented the plan in several phases.  We were extremely pleased with the overall design and the quality of the workmanship was outstanding.  Great job!

**★★★★★ — Emme Gannon, Jan. 2016**

> My husband and I recently had The Collins Group do a complete transformation to our landscape. We had serious drainage issues as well as hard scape repair in our back courtyard. In all our years of being homeowners, we can honestly say each and every person working on our project was an expert in the field, worked over and above our expectations, and have been professional at every turn. Our unique taste was incorporated into the beautiful design - they attended to every detail - and continue to come by to check on the health of plants. I highly recommend this company. They are not only excellent at what they do but are good people. A winning combination to be sure!

**★★★★★ — Upland Homes, Aug. 2015**

> The Collins Group/JDP Design is a great company to work with.  They exceed expectations in everything they do.  Whether it is the landscape design or the time it takes to complete the project, the Collins Group/JDP Designs goes above and beyond.  They are a great company and we would recommend them to anyone looking for an exemplary landscape design company.

**★★★★★ — Markalunas Architecture and Design, LLC, July 2015**

> We have worked with the Collins Group and JDP Design on many projects, and we are always inspired by the results.  Kenny and Dabney provide such a wonderful, creative synergy by combining exceptional vision coupled with knowledgeable installation.  We continue to collaborate with The Collins Group and JDP Design because we have so much trust and faith in their work, their people, and their professional attitude.  The entire team cares about the finished product, how it will appear, how it will function...we have the utmost confidence that the result will always exceed our expectations.

**★★★★★ — Joey Cagle, July 2015**

> Kenny collins and his team are the most professional and experienced team I've ever dealt with from start to finish.  I wouldn't not hesitate to use his company for future projects.

**★★★★★ — Sandy Hardee, June 2014**

> The Collins Group just completed an extensive landscape project for our entire yard. From the very start they were very easy to work with, came up with creative ideas, and spend a lot of time planning everything in advance. Once they arrived to actually do the work they worked 5 days a week from 8 until 6 pm Monday through Friday. They did not leave our project until everything was completed. When I would go home at lunch the supervisor would stop whatever he was doing and give me an update and ask any questions. Changes along the way were handled quickly and often if I added a detail that morning by the time I got home at lunch they were already working on it. Wonderful experience...I could not be happier!

**★★★★ — greggcorn, Dec. 2012**

> We are very satisfied with the design and the execution of the plan through to completion.  We recently hired Collins to do some additional planting for us on our other property and continue to be very satisfied.

  - Description: From inception, this project was a complete renovation with a ‘no-limit’ approach to the design.

A new driveway leads into the property where various materials are married in interesting ways to create new terraces and pavilions, gates and arbors, fountains and fireplaces. Of course, the gardens wouldn’t be complete without the wide variety of elegant plan…

  - Description: Sometimes the unique challenges of a site dictate almost everything about the end design. This European-inspired mountain retreat is one classic example. Perched atop a ridge, the buildable area was long but very narrow. A single axial line connects from the initial approach straight through the house and shoots to the view of mountains at the far end. The architecture of the home was envisioned to feel like an old French monastery-turned-family-home which has been restored and added to over sev…
