“Mary came out and we discussed what I was wanting in my landscaping. She created a design plan for my front and back yards and hired the needed help to make it happen. It turned out beautiful and I've gotten lots of compliments on my yard!”

“I've used ALL AMERICAN for ten years. I have no plans of changing that. Always a great job and always on time.”

“Luxury gardens installed my new paver patio and couldn’t be happier! It was amazing working with these guys. The lead designer Carmelo walked me through the process and recommend me that complimented my house aesthetic. I’m enjoying the new addition to my home! Would recommend!”

“Front entry walkway with bluestone and redesign of landscaping. Very professional, great original design ideas incorporating existing plants with new planting s, fabulous workmanship, quality plant products, would use them again!”

“My husband and I highly recommend Finishing Touches. The owner, Brad Lois, was very responsive, knowledgeable and open to our design ideas. He sought the most cost effective ways to provide the high quality patio and other features that we were seeking. Many of the crew members modeled the same behavior as they executed our collective vision in a helpful and pleasant manner. We often receive compliments along the lines of "wow!" and are very happy with the result.”

“Vidal Landscaping is a professional, reliable and trustworthy company for your home patio project. We recently had Vidal completely revamp our backyard after we removed our above ground pool. Vidal offered up excellent advice in our design, completed the work in a timely fashion AND at a reasonable price. We are very satisfied with the results! We would highly recommend Vidal Landscaping for your landscaping needs.”

“I had left a message for Sly & he returned my call within 24 hours! He squeezed me in as I just needed trimming done at my townhouse in West Lake subdivision because the landscapers there never get to residents for proper trimming. It did take a bit longer as Sly was training Issac but Issac did a fantastic job. I do feel I paid a bit more but then I just wanted it to get done as I was going to be getting company! They hauled trim waste away and left it pretty well cleaned up!”

“My husband and I have used AM Landscaping for several years now and find them to be competitively priced and very professional. Thus far we have had smaller trees removed by them, Spring and fall maintenance, a stone sidewalk installed, plant installation, aerating, mulching and de-thatching and have been happy with all the above. We just bought a new house and I am excited to add my garden touches with AM's help!”

“Steve and his team went beyond all expectations. There was clear and frequent communication. He was able to keep the job within our budget. The team showed up when expected, doing meticulous work and thorough clean up. I fully recommend them.”

“I'm a resident in a 12 townhome "U"-shaped community with a courtyard and two "wing yards" stretching along the public sidewalk. Our landscaping at the beginning of the year (2016) consisted of 15 full grown trees, some shrubs, and struggling ground cover with a great deal of bare areas. The 30-foot trees dominated the landscape, inhibiting plant variety for lack of sunlight. Additionally, when it rained we experienced soil erosion spreading mud over the public sidewalk and courtyard walkway when it rained. This spring we (the townhome owners) decided to contact McAdam Landscaping for a remedy. Our contact person was Scott McAdam who presented us an elegant design. It called for the removal of all but two of the trees, arranging to have Davis Tree Care to handle that aspect (which they did very professionally), and the substitution of six ornamental trees and a wonderful variety of shrubs, conifers, perennials and ground cover laid out in a flowing, very aesthically-pleasing arrangement. The graphic plan placed little demand on us to envision what it would look like in the end. Scott worked with us to make a few minor adjustments that reduced the cost appreciably without departing from the overall design, displaying patience as we worked through the cumbersome internal process of deliberation, approval and payment collection. The plan was approved by the owners of all 12 townhomes at the very end of August and the job was completed in September. We are quite pleased with the final product. The mud erosion problem has been arrested. A neighbor who is an experienced gardner herself shared this: ""Scott's thoughtful design and vision has brought new energy and fluidity to our community courtyard. The use of native plants addresses our need for a low maintenance, high impact green space pleasing to the eye, and increasing our property value & appearance." Another neighbor added: "I also really appreciate his [Scott McAdam's] attention to color in all seasons. I loved how the bushes and trees turned this fall, and look forward to seeing the colors in the other seasons as well." The frog of a landscape we began the year with has been kissed. It's now a prince.”
