We were incredibly please with Daniel and crew! They provided a complete makeover of our front and back landscape. The natural area behind our home was cleaned out, removing trees and brush. The job was completed as planned with excellent communication during the entire process. We will definitely used them again!

They did a great job removing our old bushes and even saving a few to replant elsewhere. The new landscape plants fit so well with out house and look better than I could have imagined! Great quality work for a reasonable price. Would highly recommend and use for future jobs!

Wonderful. Josh came out in June and looked over everything. He wrote up a contract for us and we made some adjustments and then we had to wait. They have a lot of business so we did have to wait for towards the end of July and then because of rain waited until mid August. They said they would come this week. They wanted to also make sure we could water what they planted because they certainly can not do that for us. So paying the money we also wanted to make sure the plants would live once Island Creek did their part. Good thinking on their part. They came Tuesday and worked very hard all day Tuesday and came back Wednesday morning to plant the plants. They made sure that what we wanted was done. They were very hard workers, kind, diligent and efficient. We were very pleased. They were very respectful. It looks like we have a new home. They were very professional. We are totally pleased. The wait was worth it. We were a little impatient at times but whenever we called, they assured us that the work would be done. Would I use them again. Absolutely. We are planning on putting in a retaining wall.

The work that Island Creek Landscape does is amazing and meticulous. Josh provided me an initial design and quote that met my needs and adjusted with me as the project progressed and I added items to original quote! The crew was amazing with Adam in the lead. My husband and I felt so confident in their ability and were so happy they were prompt every day. I highly recommend this company and will use them again!

Due to the terrain of our yard, we had excessive water pooling in our front yard during and after rain storms.  We asked several landscaping/drainage companies to propose a fix.  Island Creek's proposal was the most sensible, and also the least expensive of the three.  (That being said, we went with them because we thought their plan made the most sense.)  I was a little hesitant because I found the pre-work written proposal to be a little vague, but we were thrilled with the level of verbal communication, the conduct of the crew, and the end-result.  Our front yard looks beautiful!, the mulch was installed well and is thriving, and the worksite was left perfectly clean!  And best of all -- the drain is working perfectly to route water around the house, so no more pooling.

We would recommend this company without hesitation.

The backyards looks phenomenal. We are so happy the overgrowth is gone and we can now enjoy our backyard with 1/4 acre lawn instead of weeds that were hiding snakes and bugs. They did the whole job in only two days and used a great sub-contractor to install the irrigation system in the backyard that is working really well. Overall, Island Creek is run by good people who are eager to do a good job. They were very flexible with my work schedule and lack of availability at times. I appreciated their understanding. The quote was one of the best and I'm very glad I picked Island Creek, I'll be using them for future projects.

Daniel's crew was wonderful!  Adam was the point man and he was very courteous and professional. The attention to detail was very much appreciated!  We purchased our home over a year ago and have been doing a total renovation . Needless to say, the outside had been neglected for quite some time as we just moved in full time this past summer!  I almost didn't want to look at the yard as it seemed so overwhelming, but now, it is gorgeous!  Daniel responded quickly and kept us informed as to starting dates, etc..  Daniel listened to what we pictured for the landscaping and was very helpful.  He gave us suggestions and listened to what we had to say  Very nice to work with!  We even added a few things during and they were very flexible .  We would highly recommend them and would definitely call on them again!  Everything looks beautiful!  Thank you, Daniel, Adam and fellows!

Daniel was very professional, responsive, and immediately understood our goals for our landscaping project.  We worked together to schedule the work during a rainy spring, and once the weather was clear, his team completed the job in a very timely manner.  After a couple of the shrubs didn't make it through the summer, they returned to replace them (covered under warranty).  I really respect that they honored the warranty and completed the job without any disruption to the rest of the yard or even our daily schedule.  The patio and pergola look fantastic, and we've received many compliments from friends/family/neighbors.  I would absolutely recommend Island Creek and use them again should a future project arise.

Review is a bit delayed.  Everything went very well with Island Creek, and Daniel was nothing but professional.  The project took a bit longer than expected, but that was largely out of Daniel's control--it was mainly due to a regional shortage of the particular sod we were looking for.  Throughout the delay, Daniel kept us informed on the status of the sod availability and then his team completely the whole project in a matter of days.  Really satisfied with the experience and have already recommended to others.

Very knowledgeable of the service provided.  Very professional and was on time or early for all appointments.  
Service was delayed a couple days due to heavy rain at the request of home- to avoid turf damage.  Company easily accommodated this request. 
The install went smooth and fast.  Large trees were planted that required a bobcat for moving the trees.  The minor indentations left in the yard were re-seeded and covered.  Two weeks later you could not tell where they had been.
Very pleased and will use again.  Fair price and great service

We had a plain square concrete slab for a patio that didn't do our backyard justice.  We wanted a nice paver patio to spruce up our yard.  From the initial consultation, Daniel was very professional and offered great suggestions on the design.  We received other estimates, but what stood out to us with Daniel were his estimates were very detailed - line by line so you can see what each piece of the design would cost.  That made it easy to adjust things if needed. 


Daniel was also great to work with through our painful HOA approval - it should've taken 4 weeks for approval and ended up taking almost 6-7 weeks.  Daniel was very accommodating in fitting us in once we did get the HOA approval.


We met the crew on the first day and they were quick to get started.  .  The crew cleaned up after each day and worked to cause as little disruption as possible.  The level of detail the crew gave was great and the end result we are super happy with.  It completely transformed our backyard.  The quality is outstanding when compared to other paver patios we've seen.  We've already received compliments on how great the patio looks.  We can't wait to use it for entertaining or just relaxing.  I plan on calling Daniel for future landscaping projects.
