We have worked with Urban Gardens for many years and are thrilled with every project! Michelle is an incredible landscape designer and she has created a beautiful environment surrounding our home. Shout-out to the talented men that make each design come to life.

The experience was disheartening. Paid $100 just to have this person come to my house, show zero enthusiasm for the project or our ideas, grudgingly agree to provide references and then never do so with no follow up contact. No sense that my time or my money has value. As a business owner myself the first contact is the most important and this was atrocious in my view. Would not recommend this company.

I spent over 20K w/ Dean Smouse of Urban Gardens on landscaping, hardscape and fencing. Nearly every element of his work has turned out to be faulty and he will not stand by his work. He's a great salesman and will provide nice renderings, etc. BUYER BEWARE.

We were so excited to have our patio installed by Dean and his team. They were professional and kept a clean work area. Over the first year we thoroughly enjoyed our patio, but within a year and a half our patio settled creating a large puddle right next to our home every time it rains. We contacted Urban Gardens on multiple occasions asking for them to at least come out and look at the patio, aside from the photos we sent.

They refused because they only warrantee their work for 1 year. We contacted the BBB about this and told a blatant lie to the BBB resulting in us being stuck needing to get our relatively brand new patio repaired. Maybe there is a reason they only guarantee their work for 1 year. Buyer beware!
