Nashville Water Fountain Installation

Beautiful, intelligent, well planned design to provide a living privacy screen. They also did a fantastic job on a water feature.

I use Brauss for my general lawncare and they are always on time and very reasonable priced. I got three estimates before selecting them to do this project. They are very honest. We reviewed an estimate and worked to get to a number I was comfortable with. The project went very well and would have been on time had the electrician showed up when he was supposed to. The whole Brauss family worked on the project and spent a lot of time just working on the perfect rock placement. We have had some issue with the top-off system and maintaining the water level, but I send an email at night and they are here the next morning to work on it. Top notch all around.

Worked out well. It was a bit hard to communicate and get on the schedule (I presume due to their heavy workload) the work was done very nicely. The lighting installation is very professional, the water feature has been restored to good condition, and drainage channel works well.

was interested in hardscape project and had co-owner brock hughey and his partner out. it has now been 7 weeks since they were here. they advised me they would send out a structural person from their team within a few days and also hook me up with their designer for a 3-d rendering and further consultation. after numerous follow up calls to their office (none of which were returned personally - only by their office girl to tell me they would be in touch with me) i am hereby throwing in the towel and giving up on this business. while your experience may vary, mine has me rating them an "F."

Chris provided a drawing of the proposed changes in my back yard using existing planting and design features in his design. He and his crew removed (Chris actually used climbing gear) the tree and a large pine tree and placed a large water feature in the yard, multiple trees, bushes, and flowers. Chris repurposed many bushes and shrubs. He was on the site every day, both directing work and participating in work. Many days he was at the house long after his crew was gone. He took great care to use many of the existing plantings or move them to a more suitable location. He turned the backyard into an oasis that is 100% more usable that it was in the past. We have already used Chris to add a second water feature to the side yard and he will return to put in the remaining flagstone patio in early July. Chris is easy to work with, his crew is hard working, and went above and beyond to ensure that the project was what my wife and I wanted. I highly recommend Chris and Crenshaw Landscaping and have friends and neighbors who want his contact information for their projects.

very unprofessional, arrived at house after 3 weeks waiting appointment in August 2015. He took the measures and told me to wait for few days for the final design and cost. 3weeks passed and I did not receive any thing from him. I called him . he claimed that he emailed the design and estimate to me. I kept searching my email with out any success. I called him again , he told me that he will resend it to me and give me a call at the same time to look for it in case it may go to junk mails. another 3 weeks passed with out any response. I texted him asking whether he want to do the job or not?? he replied of course he want to and he will be in touch with me next day. I never heard from him since. He wasted my time and effort.

Fantastic. CJ and Janice have a talent to visualize the best designs for the home and pay attention and listen to the homeowners goals for the outside living space. Neighbors are so excited they stop and watch CJ and Janice and their team work their “magic” and are now using The Hole 9 Yards.

This project began with a home meeting with Mr. Allin, discussing our wants. He met back with us once he had completed his design. He included multiple price points of each phase which I found quite helpful. We made our selections and agreed to begin. Prior to any groundbreaking, I made some design changes. (This was a learning process for us and the more we learned, the more we wanted to learn before committing to the final product.) I have to say that George Allin was as excited about our new ideas as we were. He was not offended in the least about the changes and he made sure that he understood exactly what we wanted. Throughout the entire project George maintained an easygoing and helpful manner with us. He is obviously well-respected by his subcontractors (who were also easy to work with). He was patient throughout the process and encouraged us to ask questions. He wanted us involved intimately from beginning to end. We truly felt that his main concern was that we were happy with the project. We already plan to work with George on our next project.

We never get an advance notice of Ponds by David coming to make their cleaning. We had already terminated our bi-weekly cleaning from them for several reasons: blocking our garage in the morning when it was time to leave for school and work, shoddy and quick scrubbing of the fountain portion of the pond, and generally a sense that we were being way over-charged. We kept them for the twice yearly draining and cleaning, as they were the ones who installed the pond (according to documents we found in the home after we purchased it). We arrived home one day and my wife pointed out that the fountain was spewing water. Upon examining it, the PVC pipe that comes up from the underwater pump that is suppose to connect to the intake at the base of the fountain had come loose. It was spraying water against the side of the block fountain, causing the splashing my wife had noticed. It then struck me that the pond was clean--no debris, algae, or anything in the water. Plus, the water level was a foot below where it should be. That was the only way I knew that Ponds by David had come to clean it, as the day before it contained some leaves and debris on the bottom. I changed and went out to work on the pond. When I removed the pump, I was alarmed to find the filter attachment that guards the pump's intact was missing. Needless to say, this is a very important piece of plastic. And it isn't small either. The water was clear but no filter. Luckily, I just happened to look behind the pond on the ground and there it lay next to my skimming net. So the maintenance man who cleaned the pond had not properly secured the PVC pipe from the pump into the fountain. Plus, they had neglected to put the filter guard back on the pump. Both of these things should be second nature to any pond maintenance personnel. Had we not caught it when we did, the pump would have eventually drained the pond and probably burnt out the pump. Worse, had we been out of town, this oversight would have been a glaring notice to any bad guys in the area that the house was currently unoccupied. This negligence is unacceptable.

Our yard has been turned into a magical peaceful place to relax. The whole team listened to our input and were very professional. We interviewed several landscape designers before we picked Allin Landscaping and this team was everything we could have hoped for. George Allin even took us to Randall Walker Farms to pick out some of our specimen plants. It was a delight to go pick some of our plants. We love the Pacific Northwest area of the country and we wanted to incorporate that feel to our yard and it was accomplished. We have many varied species of evergreen trees that grow in Oregon. Allin Landscaping is first class and really listen and make sure their client is happy. If you are looking for a unique landscape design team with professional people that take pride in their work then without a doubt you will be pleased with their results. We absolutely love our beautiful palette in our whole yard.
