LANDSCAPE DESIGN OF GOLDSBORO

The crew arrived in the late afternoon on a day following a huge rainstorm, which was rather ill-advised since my yard is basically a swamp when it rains that much.  However, most of what they had to do was with bushes around my driveway, and that area isn't so low.  Landscape Designs had completely landscaped my shrubs and all around the outside of my house last year (2014) and did a superb job.  They warranty their plants for a full year, and over the past year I needed several replaced that died.  Another died over the winter, but since the warranty was out I had to pay for that one this time, but I knew that was the deal.  I also asked them to remove the accumulating residue from burning leaves and grass over the past several years, but to do that they needed a small bulldozer.  Fortunately, they already knew the condition of my yard and drove the bulldozer around the perimeter to lessen the chances of ruts being made. 

We are very pleased with the plants and the service provided by Landscape Design of Goldsboro. Yesterday, they installed 10 trees in our backyard. This was a big deal, and a significant purchase, for my husband and me. We have never before hired a landscape company to install plants. Rather than install small plants ourselves, and wait years for the privacy we desire, LDG installed mature trees/shrubs that were larger and heavier than we could handle. We enjoyed going to Jericho Farms, where Peggy and Danny (the owners) met with us personally to work out the plant choices and pricing. Peggy drove us around the fields (300 + acres, I believe) where she worked with us to pick out our plants. Since we already have a 6-foot privacy fence and didn't want to lose a lot of space in the backyard, my husband and I decided on eight hollies and wax myrtles to be planted rather close to the fence and tree-formed, a pruning technique that prunes the lower branches. While we were in the field, Peggy tree-formed a wax myrtle and a holly, demonstrating how she selects which branches to prune, bringing out the natural beauty of the existing trunk and branches. We also picked out a Nuttall Oak and a Magnolia. All of their field grown stock is beautiful. Picking out the plants ourselves was more about deciding on the exact variety and size; all the plants are healthy and well shaped. The crew that did the installation was professional and friendly. After all the work was done and the crew was packing up, I was impressed that they even picked up tiny stray twigs in the yard and used a blower to clean off the street in front of the house where their trucks were parked. Overall, working with LDG was a great experience.

it went great. the men are really hard workers. they showed up really early in morning and stayed late. worked all day to get job done. it was actually a 4 day process. the boss came by a couple times a day too to check on everything. it was expensive but in the long run well worth it. it would have taken me months to get all that done by myself.

They are punctual and stuck to their quote. They did the work they said they were going to do.
