Design One did a great job on our total backyard remodeling project. They tore out our old patio, walkway and landscaping. Then installed a raised paver brick terrace, walls, walkway, stone wall and did all the landscaping and grass to finish the job. We are getting many complements from family, neighbors and visitors. They were on time and were willing to come back to adjust and fit the tile to the beams for the pergola installation.
Description of Work: Replace an old and decaying treated lumber patio and walkway and upgrade the landscaping.

Turf One was at our home a few years ago and did a fantastic job on our brick paver patio and landscaping! Called them again this year for additional paver work as well as a fall clean up and couldn't be happier with the results! Nice to have a company still in business doing such quality work.
Description of Work: We expanded our paver patio and had a fall clean up in 3 large flowerbeds.

We absolutely love our landscape that Vance designed for us. Everything from our first meeting to the completion of our project went seamlessly. We first met with Vance at our project site and we discussed what we liked and wanted and he listened. We had a blank slate that required everything from adding top soil, full irrigation system, landscape lighting, extending downspouts, trees, shrubs, perennials, sod and hydro seed. When we met shortly after our initial meeting to see that Vance envisioned for us, we were blown away. He created our perfect landscape! Better than what we could ever have imagined. All of our neighbors continually comment on how beautiful our landscaping is. Vance and Design One stay available for questions on plant and tree care months later. We highly recommend Vance and Design One for your complete landscaping needs.

I have used Design One for years at 2 different homes and they have always done a great job. From complete design services on a new home build, to re-working landscaping at an established home. I trust them to complete the jobs as expected and I also use them to maintain everything throughout the year. The design has been perfect and the execution top notch. I would highly recommend!

Very disappointed in this regrading lawn project. First make sure that all work to be done / not done is in writing before they start. Don't fall for the "if we don't do it, we won't charge you for it." Second, and most importantly they didn't compact the soil they brought in, so the area looked level when they left, but after several weeks of watering the lawn is now VERY lumpy.

Response from Design One Landscape Services
Unfortunately, the customer signed his contract with a scope of work that was under what our crews typically do, but we tried to assist him in his needs as he was having trouble finding a vendor to do it. He only informed us of changing his scope of work upon us getting on site which we were not expecting. So the job was reduced even lower than he originally agreed to which is not fair to us. He also ask for a senior discount which we agreed to at the original quote and then took out a substantial amount of work. Had we known this before he signed his proposal, we would have declined the job all together. And no, we do not compact soil when providing a seed bed. Makes no since. Reluctantly we reduced his price for the portion he completed before we arrived and tried to make the best of the reduced scope of work. He just could not understand we quote jobs and expect that scope of work to remain the same upon arrival. Unfortunate that he is unhappy with our policies but we price jobs that reflect the amount of work requested. One can not ask a crew to show up with a scheduled scope of work and then change his mind. He signed and gave a deposit on the original scope of work and should have honored that proposal. We however reduced his price for the amount of work that the customer did. He just felt that the core charges should have been reduced as well. Same analogy if you buy a dozen donuts you great a break. You buy 6 donuts the price does not stay the same per donut. He said he would cause trouble on social media. Well there are always two sides to the story. We wish him well.

We were very pleased with Vance and the team who did our landscaping! He listened to our vision and had the team out quickly to complete the project. Vance also took the time to thoroughly go over how to care for our plants as well as how to adjust our sprinklers 😊 Highly recommend Design One!

We have so many wonderful things to say about Design One Landscaping!!! We have used Design One for three different projects around our home: brick paver patio, backyard landscaping and front yard landscaping. Vance has been our lead contact with the company and goes above and beyond! First, he is very patient, kind and understanding. He hears our wishes and requests and one-thousand percent strives for customer satisfaction. Most recently, Vance designed our front yard and gave us two different design options. His design creativity and attention to detail does not go unnoticed. His work crews are also extremely friendly, hard-working, professional and do an amazing job cleaning up after themselves each day while on the job. We have been beyond thrilled with our experience and highly recommend Design One!
Description of Work: Design One completed three projects for us over the last few years. First, they laid a beautiful brick paver patio under our deck. Next we asked Design One to install rock steps and landscape the walk down to the patio. Our most recent project, which was completed in April of 2024, was a completely new design of our front landscaping. They built several rock walls to add dimension and planted trees.

Vance Reisig met with my wife and me at our home; asked questions about our objectives for the project, budget and plant material likes / dislikes. He then produced a design that exceeded our expectations! The design as installed, updates the appearance of our home, will be substantially easier to maintain, and met our budget constraints. Vance "listened" and then delivered on time and with quality. Separately, the crew Vance sent to our home (Supervisor = Jesus) was experienced / professional, responsive to our many questions / requests - and, cleaned up each day before leaving. They were a pleasure to have at our home.

We wanted to have old shrubs, trees, and rocks rearranged and replaced, with massive weeding and tear-out. We worked with Vance at Design One to achieve a low- maintenance and simple landscape with lots of “white space”. We felt listened to as we changed the first plan to meet our needs and to add plants we really wanted. His workers were very careful and we feel we have a manicured landscape- no exaggeration. We are delighted with the result and thrilled how the large, existing boulders were re-used to complement areas they were not in before. They mulched our entire property and it looks fantastic. We couldn’t be happier!

We worked with Kurt Maddox on new landscaping for our front yard and are thrilled with the results. Kurt worked through the whole process from design to implementation. He first met with us to learn our ideas and budget. With these things in mind, the Design One team created a helpful colored rendition of the finished product, The team that did the installation was great and made short order of removing the old trees and shrubs before installing the new plantings. Once the new trees were in, Kurt provided instructions on how to care for them and even stopped by to make sure everything was thriving. We are really happy with the design Kurt created. The plants and trees he selected are beautiful and have contributed greatly to the curb appeal of our home. Thank you!

Outstanding! Vance did a great job designing the perfect landscaping for our new home. He carefully selected plants and shrubs that complimented our home with color throughout the seasons. Vance was always professional and always available via text, email, or phone which is a rarity these days since the start of the pandemic. He always made it a point to stop by and follow up on the work each day. When on site with his Installation team, he always treated them with respect and created a sense of teamwork that you could feel. When the job was completed, he walked us through on how to take care of each of the plants as well as he offered his services to answer any questions that we might have in the future. Jesus and his install team were professional, responsive, timely, meticulous, and a pleasure to work with. We have received lots of questions about who completed the work and we are proud to recommend Vance and his team from Design One. We have received so many compliments from our neighbors. There are a lot of choices when it comes to selecting a landscaping company and we are PROUD of the decision we made to select Design One.

First of all, we really didn't have a specific design in mind, and Vance worked with us over several visits to arrive at a plan that we were not only satisfied with, but very excited about. This followed with Vance meeting us at the materials supplier to select the exact pavers, contrasting border, and steps to use. Vance then worked with us on a specific start date, which Design One met to the day. The crew that was assigned our job was very professional, considerate, and went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied every step of the way. They cleaned up the area at the end of every day, making sure we were not inconvenienced in any way throughout the job. They arrived promptly every day and completed the job on time within two weeks. So bottom line, we give Design One credit for not only helping us with the design of the job, but prompt execution with results we couldn't be happier with.
Description of Work: We had major landscaping of our back yard. This included the removal of existing brick pavers, steps, flagstone, and fence, regrading the entire area and significantly enlarging our patio area giving us more usable room. It also included the addition of a retaining wall, replacement steps, and all new pavers with contrasting border. Our contact Vance did the complete design, working with us over the winter to arrive at a plan that turned out well beyond our expectations.

Vance created a beautiful landscape design for our backyard, and the crew did a great job with the installation. After the job was done Vance walked us through the project and told us when and how to properly maintain each plant, and what to expect next season (how much they will grow, when they will bloom and for how long, etc.). The entire process was very smooth, and everyone we spoke with was very professional. The timeline for each step of the process was very reasonable, and the installation started and ended on schedule. Overall this was a great experience and I will definitely go back to them in the future. Note: I didn't shop around, so I don't feel qualified to provide a rating for price. However, I have no reason to believe that I didn't get a good value.

The old deck was a mess, I am so glad I did not try to remove that beast myself. The Design One team worked around my whole house. Replaced front side walk, added a nice planter bed, added a side walk on the side (not flat cement), and put together a very nice stone patio in back. We are very happy with the work that the team performed. There was one stone that was out of stock this time of year and I plan on hiring the team back once this stone is available again for the back edge of the backyard.

From the beginning, Vance worked with me to understand the desired outcome, present alternatives and work within my budget. They called to confirm the promised start date, and arrived on time. The weather was cold and rainy, but their crew (led by Tim) worked hard throughout the entire day without complaint. They took the time to consult with me on my preferences in terms of centering the new porch step and the exact location of new shrubs. When they noticed a roof drainage pipe was buried underground, they brought it to my attention and fixed it for a very minimal charge. Vance visited the site during the 2--day project to ensure all was going well. They were very professional throughout the entire process - no surprises and no extra charges. They even spent time explaining the best time of year and methods for pruning my older landscape shrubs and plants that weren't part of their refurbishment project. I would definitely use Design One again, and highly recommend them for landscape and hardscape projects.
Description of Work: Design One removed and replaced a large front porch step, replaced landscape trees and shrubs, and reworked the stone paver and plastic edging around the garden and in-ground pool.

Vance designed a great concept for my backyard remodel in a week and a half after our sit-down meeting. I ended up having only part of it installed this year and he adjusted appropriately. He also turned around drawings quickly for my HOA approval. Tim and his team showed up at 8am each of the two days of the job and they did a great job! They protected my lawn from the machinery needed for stonework, used quality materials, and cleaned up when they were done.
