Interior Designers & Decorators in Durham, NC

"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"

"Scott did a great job on the design and installation of our new kitchen cabinets. The cost was reasonable for the high quality of the cabinets and installation was on-time, as promised, even considering some feature upgrades we requested as the project progressed. We would definitely use Tice Kitchens and Interiors again for any future renovations."

"Heath went above and beyond to help me with our project!"

"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!"

"Great work...very responsive. Provided quality work to allow for quick permit turnaround. Would highly recommend and will be using again for future projects....."

"When my husband and I relocated from Long Island, NY to Raleigh, NC two years ago, I needed a decorator with fresh eyes and creative vision to help us blend furnishings from our NY house-which was different in style and size- with our Raleigh home and maintain a beautiful, well-coordinated look. My friend immediately suggested I contact Robin Heesacker, which is the best decision I could have made. Robin and I clicked from the beginning. She learned about our sense of style, likes and dislikes, color and fabric preferences, and possessions that that were important to us. We then worked together to design plans for all the rooms that ended up being a mix of the familiar and some new furnishings. Robin suggested options and added many unique ideas, such as finding just the right places for displaying pieces of art from our international travels and convincing me that a mix of contemporary and vintage could stunningly coexist in the same room. Robin is quite easy to work with, very professional, and cost conscious in her recommendations. We love our beautifully decorated home, and I know that I could not have done such an amazing mix of eclectic pieces without Robins help. She continues to be my go-to for all my decorating projects."

"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"
