My husband & I were very happy with our backyard landscaping. We worked with the landscape designer Duane Reed who listened to our needs and wants. The overall general experience while planning and organizing for the project was pleasant too. He's so knowledgeable in all plant species & is very passionate about what he does. He's genuinely excited to help create your vision. I feel that makes a huge difference in any profession & shows in the final product.
We learned so much about plants and yard care in the process. Duane was actually involved in my parents yard landscaping 25+ years ago and remembers me as a small child around the yard. My parents encouraged me to call Soundview Landscape & see if he was available. Really happy I did. It was a fun experience to have him involved with my first home yard project years later as an adult.

Incredibly reliable and straightforward company. The initial work was prompt and well done. We had a couple issues with a failing mechanical part a year after initial installation of a new water line. I anticipated "pulling teeth" for assistance with the resolution. Instead, they were incredibly quick to respond and address the issue. I'd definitely hire them again. Five stars.

We are a local independent Irrigation Contractor who referred one of our customers to Soundview L.S. to put in a new meadow area on her property. When we referred her, it was under the understanding that we would install her irrigation and Soundview would put in the landscape. The new owner of Soundview, Kip, repeatedly kept persuading the customer to put in irrigation his way. He would not share his plans and he refused to work with us.
We are extremely disappointed with his aggresive, non-professional behavior with this situation. He should have never suggested putting in irrigation. The plan we had for her property would have lasted through the years. Now, we will have to go back next year or the following and redo the irrigation the way we had originally planned, once the plants grow to maturity. We will NEVER refer his company again for landscape. He has burnt a bridge in the community of contractors.

I contacted Duane Reed to provide a landscape design for our church. He did a fantastic job of taking my preferences and putting them into a plan. He met our needs with a plan that made for minimal maintenance and high curb appeal and provided it in a timely and affordable way. His knowledge of plants and how they will look now and 10 years from now is impressive.

Very responsive customer service! I have a sloped yard and have been concerned about a number of water issues. Owner Duane Reed and the sprinkler crew, led by Brian, took all the time I needed to review my concerns out in my yard, and offered answers and advice that are helping me mitigate my surface water concerns. I really appreciate the expertise they offered, and can already see results!
