We use this team for our lawn mowing service and small side projects. We just had an existing stone wall moved and extended. Communication is great and I will use this team again and again Steve

We had a great experience with Design Works! We contacted at least half a dozen companies for some landscaping/planting we needed for our yard. Design works was the only company to get back to us and take on the project. Much appreciated since I'm sure our project wasn't the most lucrative for them but they never made us feel like it wasn't. It was a three day project with 2 separate teams (one team for excavating and stone and another for mulch and plantings) Both teams were courteous, respectful, and did a great job! I would highly recommend them and use them again! We love our new landscaping! Thank you!

We recently moved into a new home that had a bare back yard begging for a makeover. Jim from Design Works came out for a 1 hr design consult and helped create a plan for a beautiful backyard and outdoor entertainment space. He brought some great ideas and his expertise helped guide the design. Can't wait until we are able to enjoy the final product with our family and friends!

It's been a year since they installed my patio and plantings. All I can say is that I now have a very expensive garden. The patio is uncomfortable to sit on anywhere. There is no level surface, and while I understand there needs to be a pitch to allow for water runoff, the thing pitches left-to-right, and back-to-front, from one corner to the diagonal opposite. I'll never feel comfortable on my patio. Never.

Had them do a Fall cleanup and they were awesome! Showed up on time, did a great job, and charged as was quoted. Can you ask for more? Price was very fair and booking the service was fast and easy. Highly recommend : Having them do some landscape design and installation in the Spring now. I'll update this review after that higher end service is performed

I cannot say enough great things about this company. I feel very fortunate that I found them. They do it all at a competitive price in a timely To a person, I found them to be professional, knowledgeable and personable. My yard was an overgrown mess. I turned it over to them, as landscape architects, to do their thing and it is beautiful. I was so pleased that I have also hired their company to do maintenance as well (weeding, clean up, installing timers and underground drip hoses). I will be adding mowing in the spring.

We own a construction company, Turn Cycle Solutions and work along side Jim, Jenn and all their craftsmen in the field a couple of times a year. I can tell you with conviction they can produce a landscape design and install every component of the design they propose. We are always excited to hear from them when there is a deck integrated into one of their projects because it means there is going to be a real concrete plan for the final product that is being produced with a well thought out design.
As an installer and an owner its awesome to be able to integrate with them. As a person in the tradesmen myself, I wouldn't work with them if I did not believe in them or their values but they have the full package. I strive to be able to design project at the caliber they do. I highly recommend them for any landscaping transformation. Patios, walkways, plantings, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, pool decks they've got you!

They did a phenomenal job on our walkway, both in design and in execution. The design was creative and worked with the rest of our house layout (colors, look). The execution was done clean and without any real disruption at the house during the week which was great. In advance, we had done 3 bids at other locals and then chose Design Works. Two keys for us were relatively quick install and overall good communication.
The communication was awesome throughout the entire project and this made for a very comfortable experience. The price was right in line with the others that bid. I also read the other review (at this time) on Yelp in advance. I had my driveway refinished within the last 12 months, the excavator and other equipment used didn't leave any marks at all. This was a complete non issue. We were very happy overall and would/will use Design Works again.

They did a good job designing a solution to make our wretched back yard functional and beautiful. I'm giving them only two stars because the owner did not take responsibility for damage done to my driveway by their careless running back and forth of a fully loaded Bobcat. There have also been several issues with the craftsmanship of the fencing and ants eating their way through the patio. Owner refuses to honor warranty due to dispute over damage to the driveway. I would look elsewhere and avoid the drama of this company. Not worth the premium price.

We recently used Design Works to create a backyard design plan for us. It was amazing, and so detailed. We then hired them to install the backyard patio and fire pit. It came out beautifully! They were professional, hard working, knowledgeable, and got everything done in the time frame that they said they would. We will certainly use this company again

Design Works did an amazing job creating the backyard oasis my husband and I had always envisioned. We have a very private back yard that we rarely used due to the fact we are away most summer weekends. We wanted to make use of our backyard during the fall, winter and spring seasons. We were also concerned about keeping the project in the spirit of our antique home. When we met with Design Works, we knew that they got it!
Design Works created a beautifully landscaped patio area with a hot tub that perfectly kept with the theme of our home. They utilized stones from our property and planted natural low maintenance plantings. They were on time, on budget and a pleasure to work with. We love our Oasis and receive compliments on the project all the time!! Highly recommend working with Design Works. They are a talented team!
