Southern Landscaping

About us

outhern Landscaping and Lawncare, Inc. is a locally owned and operated company. The company was established in 1986 and in 1988 the organization became incorporated. Since then, the company has grown from a small operation to a full service landscape company. In 2000, Southern added a hardscape division, which consists of designing and constructing patios, walls, and stone structures. Then in March 2003, a Garden and Gift Shop was opened in the heart of Columbia County; this location serves ground for all of Southern’s operations. In 2004, Southern began an outdoor lighting company and in 2005 Holiday Décor was established. Mid 2006, Southern expanded and opened a corporate office next to their Garden and Gift Shop. In 2007 the expansion brought about a stone and mulch yard, as well as more grounds for plant material.

Great! The yard needed more than we could handle! The owner, Tim is very professional, prompt, courteous, and responds to a phone call. We have found that other companies aren't reliable, especially answering a phone call. Don't hesitate to have him take care of your yard!

I didn't get an appointment until December, they were busy which I understand. He showed up and let me know what he was going to do.

I went into the store in March to make an appointment to have estimate of work I wanted done. I was told the first appointment was 6 weeks out. I was told they were booked up due to some weather issues and that the only way to go ahead and be on the list to get something done was to go ahead and make an appointment for the estimate . I made the appointment for March 14th. I took time off work for the estimate. Chris Tuten showed up and we spent time talking about what I wanted. He drew out the plan and said he would deliver an estimate to me within the next week. When a week passed with no estimate I called the office. I was told mr. Tuten was busy and would call me back. no response. I have called at least 6 more times and still no response. The answer is always that he is in a meeting or at another job.
They have shown a total lack of respect for customers and I would NOT recommend them to anyone. I feel like I have them more than a fair chance to do the right thing by calling back so many times.

If I had known they were so unprofessional, incompetent and unreliable I would never have wasted 6 weeks waiting for an appointment.
Response from Southern Landscaping
"Unfortunately our landscaping department usually stays booked up at 2 months in advance. We do try to notify all of our customers before they make an appointment so we do not waste their time. When Chris met you he did a quick estimate so unfortunately our office does not have access to all of those estimates. We do try and call all our customer back in a timely manner and apologize if you did get overlooked as all of our customers are important to us. We sincerely apologize that you feel like you did not have a good experience with our company."

One of their designers was very helpful with showing me colors to choose from on the ribbon and flowers used in my wreath. I also purchased potting flowers and plants and they were very helpful with my questions about taking care of the plants and what kind of environment needed to keep them looking beautiful.

I liked the way the patio turned out. I disliked the unintended consequences of the patio build.
