Chris and his team were a pleasure to work with. He developed a plan that showed his knowledge and love for plants. His price was very competitive. He was flexible in allowing me time to do a gutter drainage project that I preferred to do myself. The job was done as planned and on schedule. We are extremely happy with the results and would not hesitate to recommend or use Chris again.

Experience was excellent! Chris is a consummate professional, extremely knowledgeable in his trade, and provides incredible customer service. He treats the design and implementation of the landscaping as an art, which was apparent throughout the entire process of working with him and his team. Chris did the initial consultation, and worked alongside his crew for at least a few hours each day during install, asking my wife and I about any challenges that were encountered during the process, to ensure the final install was in line with our vision of the finished product. After the install was complete, he explained and walked through how to care for all of the plants, and how best to maintain the landscape. From beginning to end our experience working with Chris Johnson Landscapes was above and beyond our expectations in every aspect. Having Chris design and implement our full landscape refresh was an absolute joy and pleasure. I can't recommend Chris and his team enough to anyone that's looking to refresh, design, or install new landscaping, as they are true professionals in every sense!
Description of Work: Complete landscape refresh - all previous plants/flowers removed, replaced with new and additional plantings, full mulching, install of irrigation system.

Chris and his crew designed and planted a full landscape plan for the front of our home. This included removing all the old overgrown shrubs and planting new shrubs and perennials. That was done on time in a very professional way. Chris is easy to communicate with and he is always on the job every day checking on progress and working himself. This was so successful that we used him to do our back yard perimeter landscape as well. This also went well.....was fairly priced and performed on time. This is a great company to work with and I can highly recommend them.

Chris is a professional through and through which is what makes him a pleasure to work with. He arrived early for the consultation and within a week or so he had the design presentation. This included the removal and transplanting of existing plants and the addition of many new ones. Our request was for a cleaner less cluttered looking landscape front and back. In addition to a calmer landscape we wanted a more tropical feel. Chris explained why it’s difficult, although not impossible to have a tropical landscape when you live in zone 7. He tweaked the design for us, worked his magic and we now have a completely new look (with a little tropical), while still utilizing some of the original plants. And it was all within the original budget too! Chris is very ‘hands on’….he was here every day working with his team, which btw is a wonderful group of people. If we have any work done in the future, it will be with Chris Johnson Landscapes.

When we were looking for someone to landscape our flower beds in front of our house we asked for recommendations on the Nextdoor application and hit gold when we contacted Chris Johnson from Chris Johnson Landscapes. He came to the house, explained options and introduced us to his broad knowledge of plants and flowers. He took a couple of pictures of the area and using a computer application was able to provide us with multiple views of what the flower beds could look like along with an estimate. The estimate was very reasonable and we agreed to move forward. He stayed on schedule and there were no surprises as he made the pictures he created a reality. His professional approach was the deal maker and the outcome was worth every penny we spent. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris.

Chris and his entire team are nothing short of awesome. Chris designed both front and backyard re-do's and then they executed the plan--turned out even better than I expected. They went above and beyond and did many extra's!!! I am getting tons of compliments on their work and would highly recommend them for any project. Chris was very conscious of my budget and did everything possible to provide me the best possible design, plants and install. They were super neat and always cleaned up everything at the end of each day--very knowledgeable team--my yard looks fantastic :)

Chris listened carefully to our ideas and made excellent suggestions to preserve mature shrubs and rework part of a terrace block wall. He chose interesting plants for bare areas. We were very pleased with the hand pruning of shrubs into natural shapes verses huge balls. The yard looks great! Chris and team were a delight to work with being pleasant and hard working. Cost of the landscaping and was very reasonable.

I contacted Chris Johnson for a very specific project – finding plants and creating a design for the front of my house, which is very small and mostly shaded. During the consultation, he listened to all my ideas and preferences. He had great suggestions and brought plenty of examples for review. Within days, he dropped off the actual plants and placed them so that I could live with the design for a couple of days. I didn’t change a thing. The plants and design matched all I had wanted – shape, color, variety, height, size and quality (health), etc. The project was completed while I was at work, and it was wonderful to come home to a beautiful, pristine and refreshed front yard. Chris exceeded my expectations while meeting my budget. In addition, he provided suggestions for other areas in my yard and has answered all of my follow-up questions. In summary, Chris is professional, knowledgeable, easy to work with, prompt, and courteous. I highly recommend him.

We would highly recommend Chris Johnson for landscape design and installation. He approached our project with professional excellence and was a genuine pleasure to work with. His knowledge of plants and design lead to a backyard that reflects the balance of character and open space that we had envisioned. Our daughter even calls it a ‘secret garden’. We have been particularly impressed with Chris’ involvement throughout the entire project and his follow up after the completion of the work.

My Husband and I were referred to Chris Johnson Landscapes by a neighbor and we were so thankful for the referral. We had a very in depth consultation with Chris and could tell he was a very seasoned Landscape artist/professional. He gave us great advice and even pointed out aspects of our yard we had not considered to be an issue, or that could be enhanced. He has a very strong business acumen and is very meticulous with his thought and process for landscape improvements. Every question we asked was met with an in-depth answer that met our individual design needs/wants. He was very punctual to our appointment and we could tell he cared about our ideas and really listened to our vision. We walked away feeling like he was able to take our vision to the next level. Very appreciative of the time he spent with us. We definitely plan on using him for our future landscape design!

Chris has helped me with two projects, one for my home and the other for my beach house. For both, Chris thought carefully about the specific needs of my family and the landscape before selecting plants. He was meticulous and professional. Chris has the unique combination of very strong knowledge of plants, design, and business.

Have you ever walked through an old city like Charleston or Savannah, looked through the gates to a secret garden, admired the lush beauty, and wished to have something like this for your very own? I have. It has been a dream of mine for many years, a goal for my peace and happiness. Chris Johnson has provided me with a dream come true. Chris came to my home, thoroughly surveyed my garden area including soil, light, and drainage conditions, and made copious notes for his plan to present. He listened to my vision, added suggestions which I hadn’t considered, and came back with an amazing visual and written presentation that helped me to see the final result. Chris is not just a landscaper, he is a seasoned business professional. He considered my budget and was respectful of my financial as well as aesthetic goals. Chris was a dream professional with whom to work. He was responsive, timely, honest, respectful, courteous. He made appointments to work and always arrived on time. He worked quickly but thoroughly. He maintained open communication before, during, and after the project. He followed up after the design was complete, visiting to inspect the growth and health of each plant. He provided me with care instructions for each plant so I could maintain their health. He was meticulous throughout the project; it was apparent he cared about my garden and my satisfaction with it. This level of integrity is his standard and what I hope to find in every contractor. I cannot recommend Chris Johnson Landscapes highly enough. Every day, as I enjoy my beautiful garden, I thank Chris for this opportunity to live in such beauty. If you have any questions about my experience, please ask Chris for my contact information. I have been so thrilled, I am eager to see his greatest success. I want everyone to have the lush beauty of their dreams.
