So this is going to the new housing installations and nothing else. Two stars: Sloppy installation of sod Sloppy preparation prior to installation inappropriate plantings of trees Incorrect planting of trees Trees: trees should not be installed in a "volcano mound". The roots don't go deep when they are installed like this and it causes the tree to not produce rooting that will prevent toppling. A pond was recently "landscaped" the trees that need lots of water were put up on the upper banks, and hte trees that don't need a lot of water were placed in the water logged areas -- besides the 'scaping' of the pond makes no sense Sloppy preparation prior to sod installation: the soil is prepared by bull dozer, and isn't rolled or tilled, just bulldozed.

This leaves ruts and bumps that make maintenance difficult. Sloppy installation of sod: I can still see sod lines from houses that have been installed for over a year, given the poor prep it aggravates the installations.

Disappointing. The landscape designer who came to our personal property lacked outdoor expertise. She misinterpreted areas where I had done trench work as uncontrolled natural erosion and needed me to show her where south was. When she provided a scope of work exceeding my needs, I agreed to part of the proposal. After several emails back and forth, she gave me an ultimatum: all the work or nothing. You can guess what I chose. There are better landscape companies to whom to trust your land, money and time.

I work with Parker's both personally and professionally and they always do a nice job. Everyone I have encountered on any job has been friendly, professional and approachable. The design services are always very helpful and flexible depending on needs and budget.

Parkers maintained our lawn and yard for many years until our recent move. We always received compliments on how nice the landscaping was maintained and how it complimented our home. They are always responsive to requests. We appreciate their knowledge and professionalism. Thank you!

I have been in Commercial Property Management for over 20 years and have used many landscaping companies to take care of our office and retail buildings that our firm manages. We currently have five large office and retail properties in the Raleigh/Durham area that Parkers takes care of. I cannot express enough how well they are maintaining the properties. The irrigation department they also have is fantastic.

For winter and snow events thay have performed beyond my expectations. Just a warning, if you ask for a quote, you will not receive a fancy colorful presentation in a nice folder with donuts. What you will get is a reasonable and easy to follow quote for service that they will live up too!
