Landscapers & Landscaping Companies Near Baltimore

“Dutch and Bill did an amazing job redesigning our entire backyard. We were working with a very small space in Annapolis that was really rather "junky." Dutch and Bill took the time to understand the vision we had for a pool and entertainment area and made it better than anything we could have imagined. People tell us it feels like a hotel resort when they come over! It's truly a retreat in the middle of the city. The crew was all great - everyone was incredibly helpful and considerate, and every clean despite a pool build being a messy task. We had the misfortune of having a neighbor's tree come down recently (terrible timing after 8 years of having a "junky" yard it had to wait and come down when we finished our pool work). Bill was on it for me immediately and was a big help offering to speak to the adjuster and organizing the clean up while we were away. We would recommend Honeysuckle to anyone and everyone!”

“Russ Irvin and staff transformed my home into a resort. I keep looking out the window and thinking, "do I really LIVE here?". The artistic vision and craftsmanship of the entire team has been evident from start to finish. Russ worked side-by-side with our pool company to enhance this entire experience. Courteous, on task and met every single deadline. There is just no problem they can't tackle.”

“Last year, we purchased an older single family home that had significant water problems -- so significant that the basement walls needed to be reinforced with carbon fiber strips to keep the cinder blocks from buckling. This work stabilized the structure but did nothing to address the underlying water problems, which we learned were the result of poor grading, deficient gutters and downspouts, bad landscaping decisions, and no system for moving water away from the house. An architect friend recommended that we consult Brandon Sackett of Garden Gate Landscaping. We were told that water mitigation was one of his many specialties. It was the smartest recommendation this pair of homeowners ever received or followed. Brandon came in, assessed the problem, explained all of the options, and developed a plan to fit our budget. Among the solutions: 1) regrading key areas around the foundation, and throughout the yard; 2) removal of shrubs that were exacerbating the problem; 3) installation of a drywell and catch pan in the backyard to manage excess water; and 4) installation of underground PVC pipes, connected to all downspouts, (complete with pop-ups by the curb to clean out debris) to take the water out to the street. Garden Gate brought in a terrific team of landscapers who did all of the excavation and digging by hand to ensure that the PVC pipes had the proper angle to take water away from the house, and that no utilities, pipes or cables were disturbed in the process. Following Brandon's plan, we then had a roofing contractor come in and install heavy gauge gutters and downspouts, which were connected directly to the underground pipe system that the landscapers had installed. The roofer also installed openings just above each connection, per Brandon's instructions, enabling us to periodically flush out the pipes with a hose to prevent any build up of debris. As a final step, we hired Gutter Helmet to install their gutter cover system to prevent roof debris and leaves from washing into the gutters. The result: Notwithstanding one of the wettest winters in memory, our basement walls (which had been inundated with water) have completely dried out, and the water removal system has worked beautifully. While water may still be Enemy Number One for the homeowner, Brandon Sackett and the Garden Gate team were the answer to our prayers. We are truly indebted to these professionals, and heartily recommend them to property-owners dealing with pesky water problems. P.S. I would have provided a photograph, but most of the improvements discussed herein are barely noticeable. However, now that we no longer have an unmapped body of water for a yard, our plan is to have Brandon and his team back soon for the beautification phase:-) So, we'll be back with photos after round 2!”
