Ravenscourt Landscaping & Design LLC

.

They were very professional, very cost effective compared to another estimate we had received, and very creative in their design.

They were very professional. Stone was delivered on TH the company came out Saturday and completed both paths. My daughter and neighbors were having a lemonade stand the same day and all the crew bought lemonade. The paths look wonderful!

We selected Ravenscourts Landcaping because they do everything (design, maintenance, drainage, landscaping, hardscaping, irrigation, concrete stairs, water features, etc.), they are licensed/insured, they obtain the proper permits, they don't use pesticides, their end-product has a very organic/natural aesthetic (not showy/gaudy),  they are a mom & pop shop, and they don't use sub-contractors.
Shawn and Laurin patiently waited and worked with us on the design and answering our questions from April 2012 (when we first contacted them) until January 2013 when the work began.   We had other work that needed to be done before they started (downspouts and sewer line). 
They always answered our questions or addressed our concerns quickly and never blinked when we made last minute changes. Shawn was always available by cell, SMS text message, email, Facebook, or Twitter.   Probably the most electronically connected contractor out there.  
When we had a sprinkler fail, Shawn was out the next morning to fix it.  When we had two plants struggling, Shawn came out the same day (Saturday) to adjust the watering level.
We're impressed with the sophistication of irrigation controller they installed (its current capability and its ability to expand to 16 zones and a weather station), the high-end nature of the RPZ (backflow preventer), and the use of 8 irrigation zones on a relatively small lot to provide ultimate control and flexibility for watering.  Ravenscourt even ran a zone for a future hedge in a location that needs one.
Their choice of a new type of St. Augustine (Amerishade) was genius for our shady backyard.
Overall it was a near perfect experience working with Ravenscourt Landscaping and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Ravenscourt Landscaping installed a beautiful garden in the front of my Heights bungalow. Laurin Lindsey?s design works with the architecture of the house in ways that I would never have expected. The repeated curved patterns in the house trim, porch, and walkway reappears in the curved beds of shrubs, bushes, and annuals. The design includes a continuation of the curved pattern in the pots that stand on the pedestals at either end of my brick porch. These pots contain little ivies, wispy plants, and annuals. Everything is supported by a brand new irrigation system that enabled the garden to make it through the incredibly hot days of the summer of 2011. Shawn Michael took time to explain the irrigation system to me and made certain that it allowed for future growth.
 Once I saw my front garden, I began to plan for a larger garden to be installed in the back yard in the spring of 2012. This time, Laurin designed with the cottage garden style in mind. She worked with established plants, such as the roses, ferns, and holly trees, but added additional annuals and perennials. Also, they installed a fountain in the center of my patio and surrounded it with river rocks and lilies. The look is lovely. However, my dogs happily began to dig in this delightful new spot. Laurin and Shawn came up with a solution. Some of the beds are now surrounded by waist high, wrought iron fences that look as if they are straight out of an English garden. I could not be happier with my new gardens. Working with Ravenscourt Landscaping was a delight.
 I now use their maintenance service and have them come regularly to weed, feed, mulch, and plant new beds with each season. I feel that I got more than my money?s worth. And I smile every time I look at my garden.

I would use this professional landscaping company again.
