Good quality work, they came on time as requested and they did a great job. I will be using them again in the future. Price was reasonable. The owner was attentive and I was very pleased with their work.

Bob and his work crew arrived on time and did an excellent job. All work was performed as agreed and all yard debris was removed for disposal. I have used Creative Gardening on numerous occasions and have never been disappointed in the job performed. Bob listens to what the customer wants, comes up with an agreed to plan and executes the plan with superb quality control. This is a company that is a pleasure to do business with,

Punctual, professional and proactive are the words that describe Creative Gardening best! Being a first time homeowner, I had quite the challenge ahead of me as I tried to redo my front yard and move on from the design provided by the builder during my home purchase. I contacted Creative Gardening for a quote and was promptly responded to by Doris. Bob came out and reviewed the work I wanted to get done and provided quite a few valuable suggestions (Being a dog dad of two Great Pyrenees puppies, I tend to have unusual problems and I was impressed with Bob's creative solutions). The quote arrived soon and the installation was scheduled promptly. Bob, Dustin and John all showed up on time, worked hard all day and did top quality work. My yard has now become the envy of the neighborhood with multiple folks stopping by to request information on the landscaper. I truly appreciate the passion and dedication with which the work was finished and would definitely use them for any future landscaping project.

This was such an awesome experience, Creative Gardening has my business for life. I contacted them based on reviews and their facebook page, and Bob promptly came out to assess our needs and wants and mock up a design. He reviewed this with us several times as we discussed changes and tweaks. Every time I asked a question about a specific plant or flower, he had so much advice and expertise to why or why not something would work. Their team finished the whole project ahead of schedule, and it exceeded our expectations. I've had numerous visitors compliment our landscaping. We will have them back out to do our backyard soon!

I did extensive research on landscapers in the area and am absolutely thrilled that Creative Gardening was the right choice. Bob gave the front of our home a beautiful “facelift”. I had a vision of what I wanted and his design, complete with the perfect plants and shrubs, made it a reality. A stone border was meticulously added to the front flower beds and extended around a tree to make the lawn flow beautifully. He rerouted drain pipes so the water wouldn’t flow onto the driveway or pool in the lawn (I’m sure I’m explaining this incorrectly). The careful attention to every detail is evident in Bob’s work. When the work was complete, my front lawn was cleared of all debris and looked pristine. Bob is very professional, punctual, and so personable. I just can’t thank Bob and his crew enough for giving life to my home. I’m excited that we will be working with Bob and Doris when we start on our backyard project. Thank you again!

Bob and Doris were wonderful to work with. They even sent a picture of Bob before he came over to provide the estimate (without me asking.) As a single woman, I greatly appreciated that they showed concern for my safety. The work was done well and completed ahead of schedule. I would definitely hire them again.

Once again, Mr. Riccelli and his crew, headed by Tyler, did not disappoint. Mr. Riccelli is a gem to work with and knows what he is doing. He and his crew are polite, punctual, and professional. They clean up after themselves. On this particular job they removed 10 small to mid-size plants, carefully moving the pebbles we had in our beds trying to them as clean as possible. They then planted 10 new good-looking plants, filled in the holes of the old plants, straightened a 5-ft. arborvitae that was leaning, replaced the pebbles trying to make sure to even them out and that there were no footprints left in the bed, thoroughly watered all the new plants, and cleaned the sidewalks.

It went very well. Work started and completed as agreed. Quality was excellent and I was 100% satisfied with the output of the effort. After work was complete, I discovered sprinkler electrical lines were cut and contacted vendor. They stood behind their work and corrected the damage. Very pleased with the effort by this vendor.

We became overwhelmed with an out of control yard when my husband started working 60+ hours a week in the spring. By late summer I knew we had to hirehelp. The beds were filled with fallen tree limbs, twigs, and old leaves; the pine straw we put out the previous summer was all matted down, and our bushes were overgrown & had completely lost their shape. That’s when I called Creative Gardening! From the moment I called until the last worker left when the job was complete, I couldn’t imagine a more professional company! They arrived right when they said they would, and stuck with the job until everything was done to our satisfaction. It was so nice to see the yard transformed in such an efficient manner! They pruned and shaped every bush in the yard, cleaned out every bed, and added more pine straw than I’d ever seen! When they left every area worked in was clean & tidy, with all the debris hauled away! We could not have been more pleased! This not the first time we have used Creative Gardening, and it will most certainly not be our last! We first discoved them via Angie’s List and were impressed with their reviews. I then asked an un-related landscape designer we were working with for a recommendation, and Creative Gardening was first on her list! They are not the least expensive company, but you’d be hard pressed to find a less costly one that can match their expertise, skill & professionalism! I highly recommend Creative Gardening; and have complete confidence they will get any landscape related job done right!

Creative Gardening's owner, Bob, came and told us what needed to be done and explained how he would do it. He measured the front yard area and sent us a reasonable estimate. Bob and his crew were here when he said they would be here, they worked all day and then laid the sod. When they were finished, everything was cleaned up. They did a beautiful professional job and we are very pleased. Bob is an honest personable, gentleman and we highly recommend him.

Great! Bob took the time to explain to me the reasons why my existing tree may have died. He then took the steps to ensure that his work would lead to a healthy, vibrant tree. My tree is thriving after three years. I live in Owen Cross Roads, and the soil is, perhaps, composed of a lot of clay. This can lead to problems if steps aren't taken to prevent what Bob called "the bathtub effect," in which water does not drain properly. My Trident Maple is doing great.
