Landscape Designers in Durham, NC

"From start to finish I feel taken care of here. The quote was placed by a guy who clearly knew what he was talking about, offered various options up and gave me space to think about it. That same guy was the one who came to oversee the work being done throughout the day. Quality work, quality people, this came out way better than I had expected - and their price beat out the other quotes I had, who would have done less! A+ will be hiring them again"

"Recently, Mauricio Rios became owner of SweetGrass Landscaping Solutions LLC. My wife and I consider ourselves lucky to be among his clients, since we have benefitted from his landscaping skills and professionalism since last January. In January JC Landscaping Solutions installed for us their signature walkways made of rectangular paving stones in two shades of gray. They are gorgeous. But, before they could do that, they had to complete the removal of a huge oak tree in our front yard which was infested with carpenter ants. The company we had hired for the job made a mess of it. They managed to destroy our front sidewalk and some bushes and pull down two power lines. WhenJC Landscaping came to our rescue, the stump was five feet high and a huge portion of the trunk lay on the ground. JC Landscaping, with Mauricio as foreman, finished the job for a very reasonable price in five hours. So, we first saw Mauricio welding an ax and operating a stump grinder. We also found that his English is excellent. The company then installed a new sidewalk after removing tree roots which had caused the old one to buckle. As the result of Mauricio's careful supervision, we now have a sidewalk leading to our front steps which is not only beautiful but LEVEL. Next came a connecting walkway which leads to a wheelchair ramp and curves to 17 stepping stones that lead to a lower garden.This was more challenging. The rectangular pavers are straight. They do not bend. Cutting the pavers and fitting them together to make the walkway CURVE up to the wheelchair rampant then CURVE to the steps required great patience and skill. With Mauricio's supervision this was done successfully and the result is beautiful. JC Landscaping also removed the wheelchair ramp, which had seen better days, and built a new one. After that, Mauricio has supervised the planting of grass, the laying of mulch, weeding, mowing, etc. Growing new grass during the hot summer months was difficult, but, as the result of persistence and cooler Fall temperatures, the new grass is healthy and beautiful. As a finishing touch, Mauricio recently installed a tall spiral wind spinner where the oak tree once stood. It puts on quite a show when there is the slightest bit of wind. Mauricio's new company, SweetGrass Landscaping LLC, will now continue for us the fine work done under Mauricio's supervision by JC Landscaping Solutions We couldn't be more pleased. Joe Kitchen"

"They were one time, got right to work, and did a great job! Ed was very knowledgeable about the plants and flowers and trees.Class act all the way!"

"Preston and team were great to work with for my paver patio project! Preston walked us through everything during the initial estimate and provided thoughts and ideas on how to make the project perfect for our yard. Once the project began and minor issues were found, work was stopped until we had a chance to discuss options and make a decision on what worked best for us. Preston even worked with us since we had a connection to get the materials ourselves, they did all of the install and labor. We even added and additional path mid-project and that didn't slow them down! We had a few weather delays but when it was warm enough to work, they were here working, even on the weekends. Project turned out amazing and I would highly recommend Earth Alchemist and Preston to anyone and will definitely use them for any landscape needs in the future!"

"Eduardo was a pleasure to work with. He did an exemplary job sodding our yard! It was a very involved job, tilling the soil 3 inches, putting down top soil and fertilizer, then laying the sod. They even shaped the sod very professionally throughout our yard. I would highly recommend him and his crew. They were very accommodating and reliable."

"Charlie did a retaining wall and a beautiful patio for me. He and his crew did a wonderful job, very quick work and clear communication. He gave our backyard a new life. Highly recommend!"
