THOMAS A.

This was our second time hiring L & R, and based on our first experience at a previous home years earlier, we expected -- and had -- another great experience this time. Up front, Lyle came out for multiple visits to talk through many details, desires and ideas, and produced a very nice printed design with details on all plant selections. The bid was detailed and clear. When the crew arrived, they worked hard, took great care in their work, put up with my very detail-oriented oversight, respected our property and overall did a terrific job. Lyle came out on a regular basis to check on progress and talk through any concerns or adjustments. The end result realized just about everything we had envisioned. We're so excited to enjoy our new yard and see our new plants develop and flourish over the years to come! Thanks L & R!

The team at L&R suburban landscaping exceeded all our expectations. They were on time, professional, and did an amazing job of redoing the terraces in our backyard. But the part that impressed us the most was the team themselves, and the fact that they truly went above and beyond. When part of our play structure was cracked when they moved it, they patched it without a second thought. When they were working through a heat wave, the entire landscaping team was looking out for each other, making sure they got needed breaks and water. Working with L&R not only means your landscape will look incredible, but you’re supporting a company that really looks out for their customers and employees. You don’t find that kind of company every day!

Ron and Layla were my main contacts and they were extremely easy to work with and very responsive to my questions and changes. Ron very closely supervised the project and was on site every day. He suggested adjustments based on situations that came up that would improve the project (particularly drainage issues). The entire team listened to my specific requests and were always accommodating, often helping me choose materials and locations. I did not receive multiple estimates, so cannot rate L & R to any competitors in terms of price. I could not be more pleased with the results of the project. This was a major enhancement to my property.

Ron and his group at L&R Landscaping did an excellent job with our landscaping project. Here is why we chose them for our project and why you should consider them for your project. We met with three different companies to fix a drainage issue and renovate our patio. We felt that L&R listened to what we were trying to accomplish and provided the best solution. There was good communication with the office, lead project coordinators and the workers throughout the process. They were hard working, friendly and very conscientious regarding the next-door neighbor’s yard. We were very pleased with the entire process and would highly recommend that you visit with L&R for your landscaping needs. Jeff and Wendy F.

L & R was the most expensive quote I received. However, Lyle was the only person that asked enough questions to determine the cause of the water issues and to propose a more extensive resolution. The extra money paid was worth having the water issue resolved once and for all.

I was very happy with the professionalism and the fact that they use their own crews instead of subcontractors. I got the impression that they did everything right, not quick and dirty.

We do review each request for services based upon the the size and scope of work desired in order to ensure that the projects we view and quote are the type of work that we excel at performing and that meet the job requirements necessary for our multi person design/build construction crews to work effectively. We do perform a variety of drainage correction work which includes grading as well as riverbeds, draintiles, swales, to remediate complicated water issues. And excavation services may also require extensive grading as a result of the activities performed. We do appreciate the opportunity to discuss and review service requests on an individual basis.

Very happy with the whole process. Owner was onsite everyday making sure everything was perfect. Designer visited site numerous times to make sure layout was done as his plan specified. All trees, shrubs and sod were very hardy. Office staff kept me posted on job schedule.

Lyle was great to work with and imagined the project exactly as it turned out. The project was complicated due to tight access and existing structures, a large hill and required a structural engineering plan. The crew led by Vidal managed it perfectly. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. They were respectful, listened, and provided extra service when asked and stayed within the timeline as planned.

Drainage and erosion resulted in the need for extensive deveopment of retaining walls. Fantastic work in stabilizing the area and now making it both functional and beautiful. The guys were able to take my vision and make it even better. Attention to every detail.

L&R was fantastic to work with. When looking for someone to handle our project we received glowing reviews about L&R from several neighbors so we decided to go with them. They provided detailed plans, which we loved, even though we wanted to replace a few plantings with other types. Once the project was started the work was completed very quickly. As with any big project, there can be a few hiccups. L&R worked with us to figure out some great solutions. We really appreciated their positive attitude. And we absolutely LOVE the final outcome. We would highly recommend L&R!!!

We were Impressed by their knowledgeable staff and professionalism throughout the entire project. L&R Suburban Landscaping’s stone masons were true craftsman and great to work with. Their office staff kept us informed on scheduling and billing and were there to answer questions throughout the project. We were extremely satisfied with how the project turned out and we’d highly recommend them.

It went great!! This was the second time we used L & R Suburban Landscaping for a major project because they are so accommodating, professional and knowledgeable. We worked with manager Lyle on both of these projects and find him to be kind, knowledgeable and straightforward in his communications. He always advised us when to expect the team and kept us aware of how the project was going. The office staff, we worked often with Layla, was also very professional and incredibly easy to work with. We would not use any other landscaping outfit because we can rely on them as caring professionals who provide superior quality work!!!

He walked through our garage to get to the patio and I said we need to replace the patio and steps. He said (mockingly) oh, I thought it would be the garage floor. Never got the work done, looking for someone to do it !!!

We have verified that this review was incorrectly placed on our business profile and we have contacted Angie's List to expedite the communication to the customer in order to correct this error. We did not set an appointment for this customer to meet with one of the owners, nor did we ever create a proposal to be sent. It's unfortunate that the customer had this experience, but it was not with our company.

We are so thrilled with the finished results. It is more beautiful than we even imagined. The crew was friendly, and so committed to the job. It was finished on time and they truly worked their butts off. We will definitely use L&R again with any future projects. We have told all our friends about our experience and also wanted to share with others.
