We use Kinghorn for our commercial accounts at Noddle Companies and have always been very pleased with Kinghorn's response to our requests and follow through. They are top notch designers and know what type of plant material will work in what areas and when to plant. We rely on them heavily for their advice, design expertise and maintenance. Enjoy working with this excellent team!

Zero stars BEFORE YOU EVER SET UP A MEETING FROM THE FIRST MINUTE ASK WHEN THEY CAN PLANT. ITS SOO IMPORTANT, if not you will be duped into paying $500 for a picture of a garden and no garden will materialize for months. I worked with the designer Anne, awful, just awful. I contacted another garden place and their quote was close to 6000 LESS than this place. shop around. I don't think they ever intended to really plant a garden.
I think they took the 500 bucks and gave me a price that they figured I wouldn't agree to. This is probably their business plan. worst business I have ever dealt with, their solution plant 1/3 of a garden this spring. ugh. disaster. all of the other comments check the date. they are asking people to vouch for Anne.

Recently they updated the landscaping in my front yard. I appreciate the time they put into making sure the right plant material was selected and the care they took during install. Job well done!

I have been working with Kinghorn Gardens since 2006, and cannot recommend them highly enough. In addition to being a creative force, they are very respectful of your budget and timeline. I have worked with Anne Houser for years, and she is so knowledgeable about plants and their viability in our (sometimes harsh) climate. Although it has been over 10 years, we continue to add and change our yard, and Kinghorn is always there to help!
