Our homeowner's association in Rosemount, Glendalough sun-division, has used SV for the past two years and it has been horrible. Zero communication, lack of ownership with anything, killed all our open space grasses due to not getting irrigation working not one but two years in a row. Thy are also horribly overpriced on top of the horrible service. Our neighborhood has never looked worse!

I have a very steep hill in my back yard that has begun eroding. I have had several companies come out to look at it and suggest plans for managing it. Taylor Wald at Southview Design really listened to me, carefully examined the area and came up with a plan that is beautiful, workable and reasonably priced. I totally trust that his plan will do exactly what is needed to minimize the erosion while being easy to care for and pretty to look at. I highly recommend Taylor Wald and Southview Design.

They just blew an entire parking lot of leaves through a gate and into someone's yard/alley behind the Starbucks at Snelling and Grand. Update: the crew left without removing the leaves of premise. The alley is still full of leaves piled against the neighbor's garages two weeks later.

We recently had Southview Design redo our front yard landscaping. We were impressed with Roberts (designer) ability to create a design integrating plants we wanted to keep into the new design. The specific plant care guide for our landscaping was much appreciated so we know how to manage and care for our new landscaping. Victor and his crew were great to work with -always took time to answer questions -kept work site clean. We would definitely use Southview again.

Highly recommend Southview Design. The process from design to installation was smooth and professional. We love our new backyard patio/fireplace/spa/landscaping set up. Thanks again, Mike.

I chose Southview to have one company own a large landscaping project from design to completion across many subcontractors. Southview didn't disappoint. They were thorough, professional, and my project was beautiful when completed.
