Job went very well Brian Watson is owner came and gave estimates for work to be done . On day job was to be started he arrived with crew and head planter Carlo .

Overall it went okay, not great. I paid a lot money and I feel like I didn't get my money's worth. I was expecting mature bushes to be planted. I guess I'll have to wait and see how it all fills out the wide gaps of mulch. They didn't leave my driveway clean when they were finished. When my wife asked them to pressure wash they tried to charge us extra... Ridiculous. I called to get it corrected and it wasn't addressed. It made me upset because Brian said he would ensure pressure washing would be done after they were done. Guess not... I'm in Afghanistan and it was extra difficult to get a hold of anyone. They're website does not cite an email address. Very frustrating.
Description of Work: CHG updated my front lawn, they removed the old bushes and short tree. They planted new bushes, flowers, added top soil and mulch. Also, they re-located 2 rose bushes and filled in some holes in my back yard with left over soil from the front yard work.

The estimate was for edging, tilling, and building a small rock wall around my front garden of about 60 total feet. The total square footage of the garden area is probably about 120 square feet. The landscaper gave an estimate that included mulch, a watering system, six drift roses, six baby gem boxwoods, six daylilies, five lorapetulums, and four olivia hawthorne bushes. The overall estimate was $2500. The other estimate I received from another company was $1400, but the plan was not quite as robust. I ended up doing the work myself in a few weekends. This provider was professional and very helpful. I would recommend this provider to people looking for serious landscaping projects, not small ones. Be prepared to pay more than other services but it may end up being worth it.
Description of Work: I did not have any services performed, but received and estimate and interacted with the owner. After calling and requesting an estimate, I received a call back to schedule a time for someone to come over. The appointment was for about a week in the future. On the day of the appointment, the gentleman looked at my front garden area, gave ideas for how to landscape and beautify the appearance, drew up a diagram of what plants would go where, and provided an on-the-spot estimate.

We were impressed with their work. They are professional people. The job went fine. They were on time and did the work. They are timely. We already switched to a different company for landscape works.
Description of Work: We bought trees from Carolina Home & Garden and had them planted it. We used for landscaping in our front yard. The tree planting was done five years ago and the landscape was done two years ago. In 2012 we also had some landscape out front.

Delivered as requested. Good quality. Gave a discount on delivery since I was getting both dirt and mulch and had to be delivered in two separate trips. Very friendly service.

It didn't!!!!!
Description of Work: Casey takes your money, makes false claims about things he did and did "0". After 4 months of him not contacting me I asked for my $ back. When I received it in the mail, I did not receive a full refund of my $400.00. He kept $100.00 for what he claims he did .... such as consultation (which Carolina Home and Garden states is free), suggestion of tree removal (I had marked most of all the trees that we had removed), photographing property (I never saw or received any photo's), checking and documenting trees removed (we never saw him after the trees were removed) and located property lines (we did that).

It didn't go anywhere. I never received a call back and am using another contractor.
Description of Work: I called twice and spoke to a person who told me that someone would call me back soon and meet with us to discuss the project. We never received a call. During the second call I made, I told the person answering that our first call was not responded to. She was polite, but we never got a call back. I won't call them again.

Owner Brian Watson came out the house to talk over our needs and wants for this extensive project. He made numerous suggestions based on his experience and provided guidance on material and plant selection. Brian later returned with detailed drawings of his plan, based on our desires. There was a little back and forth before reaching the final plan and cost estimate, including labor and materials. The project began within about two weeks of that agreement. Carolina Home and Garden hired one of their regular sub-contractors to perform the entire job, but Brian Watson attended often to check on progress and provide guidance. The job took over one month with 2-4 workers showing up five days a week. In the end, we were very satisfied with the results and the cost was as quoted, allowing for some minor additions/changes. Since this time, we have been back to the nursery many times to purchase plants and otherwise meet our landscaping needs. We find the prices reasonable and the personnel knowledgeable, courtious and informative.
Description of Work: Provided extensive landscaping and hardscaping around new home. Installed concrete drive (~1500 sq ft), concrete front walk (~220 sq ft), paver side/back walk (~320 sq ft), paver patio (~250 sq ft), engineered block retaining walls (~3' by 250'), irrigation system, sod, plant beds, and several dozen plants/trees/shrubs.

They are doing a phenomenal job. KC is one of the sweetest men I've ever met. All of the staff at CH and G are so wonderfully helpful and pleasant. The gardens are HUGE. The business offers a LOT more than your typical garden showroom. I was stunned. HUGE. I actually got lost THREE TIMES and needed someone to show me how to get back out! I am just sorry I hadn't known about them YEARS ago! I would've driven from anywhere in the state to utilize them! Magnificent selection, varieties, inventory, quality. Simply breathtaking place! A MUST VISIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can not WAIT til my project is COMPLETE! STUNNING!
Description of Work: KC from Carolina Home and Garden designed my whole yard landscape, and CH and G is installing it.

They helped us take up certain plans that we were looking to landscape our property. We had problems. They were really knowledgeable. Last year when we were pruning our crape myrtle, we were doing it wrong and they took their time to show us to do it correctly. I really appreciate that. It's a good healthy place to buy products and good advice if we are looking for. They have pottery and plants as well there. They were little pricey but we get what we pay for. We travel quite a while to go to them.
