I have used them before. I used them to landscape my front yard, back yard and to do some hardscaping back there.

They've maintained our yard for 9 years. They do a good service, this year I had a problem that they didn't want to address until the beginning of the year and that was a concern.

Everything was done beautifully. It only took them several days to do what would have taken me a week. Everything was done as promised and it looked wonderful. I will gladly use them again.

The workers were on time and completed the work on schedule. Everything was cleaned up after the work was completed. I was satisfied with the brick work but the landscaping was not professional. I specifically asked for the landscaping to look professional and have color year round and even showed a neighbor's yard as an example. It ended up looking like a bunch of weeds in the summer/fall (lots of leaves and no color) and a bunch of sticks in the winter. No where near the look of a professional landscape job. There were a few plants that died and they did replace them. Although they tried to blame it on me for not watering which was not the case. Overall, the brick work was fine, the landscaping was poorly designed and a waste of money. I would not use this company again.

They seemed really great but ultimately we ended up going with another company based on the strong recommendation of our landscape architect. We never actually went through and have them do the job but they seemed that they were very professional. The estimate was good. The plans were good. It's just that we went with somebody else. The bid was for $3500. They have prompt customer service. They were very polite. They were really good at staying in touch with us by email and getting us a copy of the estimate and plan by email.

They did OK. I probably won't return to them for any additional work.

. I originally wrote a disparaging review of Chesapeake Landscape and Design due to non-responsiveness and follow-up on appointment for an estimate. I was subsequently contacted by Bell Hartnack and it was explained that the person I was dealing with had a serious health issue and was hospitalized and they apologized for not following up. I was subsequently put in touch with the same person as before, who had recovered from the health episode. We scheduled another appointment for an estimate, which was accomplished in a timely manner. The quoted cost was reasonable and we signed a contract. They scheduled the work at my convenience and it was performed very well and in a timely manner.
Kudos to Bell Hartnack and Chuck Slater for their friendly, courteous and professional service and reponsiveness. We are extremely pleased with the quality of the work and the look of the area.

They did an excellent job. No complaints. The yard looks great.
The quote and closing of the agreement went smoothly.

The quote was timely. The work was performed on time. It was a good thing that we stayed around to keep the crew from making some mistakes in the layout. Essentially, we supervised the crew. There was very little supervision by the company's management. The work crew was great. They worked hard in some of the hotest heat of the year. They listened to us and took care of the layout dveiations immediately.

We received several estimates for cleanup and mulching of landscaped areas around our home. Jon was the most responsive and thorough in both the estimate and question process. The work was performed in one day to the stated specs and we are very pleased with the results.We would use Chesapeake again.

I am happy with their work. They were really easy to work with. They got the job done on time and on budget. They helped me with getting the permit and everything else which was required. I would use them again in the future.

Great. The price was a little high. What surprised me was Chesapeake Landscape Design subcontracted the job to Campbell Improvements. Campbell Improvements is awesome. They were timely, extremely professional and did a fabulous job. They came back a few times to re-seat pavers that had worked themselves loose. Next time, I would go directly with Campbell Improvements - they are honest, good guys and really do a great job.

"We are sorry the customer was unhappy with our pricing. The reason for the price change was because additional work was requested beyond the original scope of work contracted. But we are very happy the customer was pleased with the project!"

Jon was quick to respond. Provided an estimate under my expectations. Developed a detailed plan within 2 days, and provided it by email (my preferred communication). He was able to schedule his folks for 2 weeks out, and they did an excellent job without damaging any bushes. The new system that he designed works great. No more flooding in the basement.

They did a good job. Their price was good. They were easy to work with. Whatever the issues they were willing to fix them. I had three bids and theirs was the best. I would use them in the future.

Overall, the experience was very good. They did a really nice job. The price was mid-range compared with the other estimates that I had received. The technicains were prompt, completed the work, and answered any questions that I had. We're happy with the outcome. Just recently I noticed that there Crepe Myrtye were not blooming; I called them because it wasn't blooming and they were responsive and informed me that I should wait a few more weeks, and they was right. I'd use their services again in the future.

It was great! Dave Kraft showed up on time for estimate, and came back again on a Saturday with stone samples. Work started as scheduled, and they came every day until the project was finished. They cleaned up everything when they were done and re-seeded a section of our lawn where they had parked equipment. The finished product is absolutely beautiful. We could not be more satisfied.

Chesapeake was a terrible company to deal with. They first came out in the Winter and said they would need $400 to develop a design, which would come off the job if they did it. They couldn't adequately assess the job in the Winter, since there was snow on the ground so I called them back in the Spring. They would not return calls. When I finally was able to set an appointment and we took time off of work to be there, they never showed up.

From the first moment of when the receptionist answered the phone to the last moment of waving goodbye to the crew, the whole experience was a complete pleasure! Mr. Dave Kraft knew exactly what my husband and I were envisioning for the garden and gave several options on how to complete it. Mr. Kraft and his crew came exactly on time and the crew were hard at work before we even had time to put our shoes on and meet them outside. High praise goes out to all the crew members. I have never met such a hard-working, professional, and polite group of workers EVER! They completed their work down to the last detail, even tidying up our front and side yards with removing weeds, debris, redefining the edges of other beds, and mulching around ALL of our plants, trees, and bushes. Work thats not in the contract at all. When the gentlemen from Chesapeake Landscape & Design left that evening, I was so in awe of the work they had done in just one day, I just couldn't stop smiling.
