Amazing experience and results with Emerald Gardens! We were struggling with a poorly designed and overgrown landscape, and were fortunate enough to find Ricky Roth at Emerald Gardens. He came out and worked with his designers to give us a beautiful landscape plan that met all of our wish list items, and was able to show us everything in both 2D and 3D renderings so we knew just how it would all look.

They followed up with a seamless, perfectly executed installation, and we were super impressed on how quickly they were able to get such a big project done. And, even though landscaping is never cheap, their bid came in under budget and I can tell you it's the best money I ever spent. Great work, great value, great people - I can't say enough about these folks and the job they do. Highly recommended!

I have dealt with many landscaping companies in my lifetime. I can say with 100 % assurance that Ricky has been by far the best. He's professional, listens, very friendly and most of all a great communicator. We started out with one project and we have hired Ricky for 2 additional projects due to his outstanding service!

Love working with this firm. Everything that's promised is delivered. But what's more important to me is the communication. I almost always get a hold of whoever I need and if not the call back is quick. They truly care about making the customer happy.
