We had used Panoramic Landscapes to do some major landscaping and they did a fantastic job. It was a no-brainer to contact Blake to have a stone wall built around a bed in front of my house. Blake's stone mason did a great job and the wall exceeds our expectations. The mason was very meticulous in his work and did a great job of cleaning up afterwards. If you need quality work done, call Blake. I would also like to mention that we just recently had Blake's crew re-mulch the landscaping they did a couple of years ago. While this might seem like a pretty straightforward job, they really did an excellent job and the whole bed looks brand new. I was very impressed and they did such a good cleanup job you couldn't even tell they had been there. Panoramic is my go-to landscaping company!

Although it took a little while to get started due to the amount of work they had scheduled, we were in agreement about the start time. Blake was very willing to work with us concerning the plants we wanted and the overall concept. The crew worked very hard and did a good job of cleaning up when done, and the end result looks great! I am very pleased with the work and the working relationship I had with Blake. I would recommend Blake, and I would definitely hire his company again.
Description of Work: Landscaping project in my front yard. Blake's crew installed a stone path to assist in drainage and to provide a link from my front yard to the deck in the back. They installed a berm to control water flow from my neighbor's yard. They also brought in topsoil and plants to remake a large natural bed in the front.

Blake came out to my house to give us a quote, we talked through the entire project, and he said he would send me a quote in about a week. I never heard from him again. I've reached out with no reply.

Don't even bother to go to anybody else. I promise you that working with Blake at Panoramic Landscapes will be one of the wisest decisions you will ever make. As the owner of Panoramic Landscapes, he is a consummate professional whose word is as good as gold. He is a true gentleman. The extensive work began in January 2018 and weather did not cooperate on many days which caused unavoidable delays. Blake kept us very well informed when the weather interrupted and the schedule had to be updated. His patience was also very commendable because we kept making small changes throughout the process. Blake's pricing was very fair and he guaranteed his work. His knowledge of all things that have to do with landscaping and hardscaping is invaluable. He knows his stuff -- plants, turf, lighting, hardscapes, drainage, pluses and minuses of various materials and options. Blake's staff is extraordinarily considerate and very hard working. Blake frequently made suggestions where he thought I might be able to save money or might be able to do something a little differently that would be easier to maintain or more beautiful or both! He definitely has the 'eye' needed to see what you might have never imagined. Blake has come back a couple of times to check on the installations and to find out if we had any concerns. Working with Panoramic was a great experience and we would do it again in a heartbeat!
Description of Work: Panoramic did major hardscaping and landscaping at my home, including a complete installation in my front yard and most of my back yard. New turf, shrubs, trees as well as stacked stone walls, stone patios and stone steps rising over 20 feet. Fairly extensive landscape lighting was also installed. Also built a stacked stone fire pit. Our home was built 26 years ago and we got rid of everything and started over with Blake.

I couldn’t be happier with the experience of working with Panoramic Landscapes to renovate my yard. Not only did Blake Seck and his team do extremely high quality work at a reasonable price, they provided great customer service and communication throughout the process. Blake is extremely knowledgeable about everything related to landscaping and hardscaping and is a great person (and nice guy) to work with. He provided clearly-articulated options for every part of the yard, gave great guidance and recommendations, and left enough room for me to assert my tastes and preferences while never compromising the professionalism of the final result. After our first meeting Blake sent a very professional assessment and estimate through email. He was very clear about his plant recommendations, including the size, quantity and cost. He made good hardscaping and drainage recommendations and provided good descriptions of each line item. Based on Blake’s professionalism, customer service and deep knowledge of plants I hired his company to tear out the existing landscaping and install a Merlot Redbud, six dwarf Japanese cedars, three frostproof gardenias, two kaleidoscope abelian and several butterfly bushes and sage plants near the house. He immediately transformed the look of the front of the house with plants that require minimal maintenance and were intentionally selected to thrive in the areas in which they were planted. But the most transformative part of the landscaping was the stacked stone wall. I live on a corner lot with a slope and the plants in the corner have never looked very good. Blake ripped out the existing plants, and along with his team of expert stoneworkers, they built a beautiful wall. He filled the area with mulch and planted red drift roses, butterfly bushes, sage plants and kaleidoscope abelias (and installed two low-voltage pathlights). I must have gotten 100 compliments from neighbors and people walking in the neighborhood on how great the corner looks. In other parts of the yard Panoramic Landscapes planted nandinas, camellias, butterfly bushes and a hydrangea. They installed stone curbing on both sides of the driveway, built a paver pad in front of the door to the basement, installed several drainage pipes, and covered everything with mulch. The entire job went flawlessly, with minimal effort on my part. I am thrilled with the quality of the work and am enjoying beautiful landscaping that was custom designed for the property. I cannot recommend Panoramic Landscapes more highly. I will continue to use them in the future, and in fact, I’m about to call for the next project.

Owner, Blake Seck came to my home and we talked about what I wanted to be done. He told me he would put an estimate together and send it to me. This was on Oct 16th. When Nov 2nd rolled around and I had not heard anything, I emailed Mr. Seck. He asked me if I still wanted an estimate, I told him I did. Today is Nov 11th. I have received nothing. I'm moving on in hopes of finding a landscape professional who is more responsive.

Great. I've used Blake in the past and he always exceeds expectations. He will always go the extra yard to make sure his customers are happy. I'll continue to use Blake in the future - Panoramic has proven that they can handle a wide variety of work and do it well.
Description of Work: Blake and his team fixed water issues i was having in my back yard by installing a large creek bed and tying all downspouts to that. He also landscaped the back yard (Blake has a great eye for that) - which included several plantings and some sod.

The crew was awesome. There were anywhere from 2-4 guys on-site working at a time and it took several days. The work was very well done and all the workers (especially Blake and the crew foreman) were true gentlemen. We had 1 other estimate and went with Panoramic because of their Angie's List reviews and the price of their bid. The reviews were true! We were very pleased and they also helped remove stumps at a reasonable cost (which was not a part of the original plan/quote).

Blake did a great job start to finish on this project. He was ahead of schedule starting the job and even with a few hiccups, the construction was finished in a timely manner. The crew worked very hard and were focused. They constantly made sure every paver was level and placed correctly. The entire round fire ring was custom made with each square block cut precisely. There was little waste and at the end of the job, the excavated dirt was hauled away and the area put back and leveled.
Description of Work: Excavate and install a new paver patio and fire ring.
Blake did a great job of designing a new backyard for us. Including the hardscaping and the landscaping. The entire project took about 5 weeks of working time. The crews were hard working, professional, and cleaned up after themselves. The work was meticulous and very professionally done. I was very sensitive to the hardscape being installed properly, especially since the last job was done so poorly. But, Blake and his crew really did everything right. We are now at the end of the project and everything came together incredibly well. The yard looks like something out of a magazine. And we're incredibly happy with the results. The only complaints I have are (1) it took longer than I expected - particularly finishing things and (2) Blake doesn't always communicate when work will and will not be done (the schedule). I think the weather plays a part in this. But...it's an area of improvement for him. That being said, I HIGHLY recommend him and would use him again. More than that, I consider Blake to be my permanent landscaper for any future projects.
Description of Work: Our backyard had previously had a paver patio and wall installed...but installed badly. We also had a drainage problem. So we wanted to get all of that bad work removed and wanted a new patio, multi-tiered walls w/pillars, a new walkway installed. The yard needed to be regraded, a french drain installed, and general landscaping (new plants, new sod, mulch/pine straw).
Panoramic never contacted me regarding my request for irrigation installation, pavers, and landscape design for the front and backyard., if a company does not have the resources to tackle a job, take the time to let the customer know. I took the time to complete the information to request your services.

Overall, the process went very well. We had used Panoramic Landscapes in the past so we exclusively went back to them. We made arrangements to get an estimate. We had to spread topsoil prior to them being able to put down the sod. Once we had spread the topsoil, it took 1-2 weeks to get them back to install the sod between weather and their schedule. This is why we felt that the responsiveness could have been a bit better. However, the quality of their work was very good. While their price was competitive, it was not great, but they were flexible on the billing. Overall we gave them high ratings and would recommend them.

This is the company you want to have do your landscaping!!! Blake instilled confidence from the very start. Showed up on time to estimate the job, was prompt with replies, and bid the job based on the prior existing design. Lot of attention to detail. Result was positively beautiful and met all expectations. The nice thing about using Panoramic Landscapes is it is one stop shopping. Grading, removal, drains, lighting, drains, plants and trees. Sprinklers. All done with one contact point. Removal of existing plants, sidewalks, grading took about 4 to 5 days including re grading. New paver sidewalk installed along with beautiful masonary steps; Job also included landscape lighting with a lot of care and attention to detail. Also installed new drains throughout and even added a foundation drain as added item with reasonable cost. Overall start to finish 4 to 5 weeks. Blake is a pleasure to deal with and is engaged real time with visits to the site at least once a day to check on progress; keeps the communication lines open !! Total transformation!!! Love it .

Not good at all.
Description of Work: Owner (Blake) showed up to hear the details of the work I wanted done. A long run of hedging, hardscaped walkways and small patio to match the walkways, and an "island" of plantings, shrubs, small trees and decorative groupings to use up most of my front yard to reduce mowing time and area. Told him I'd like at least the hedge plantings done ASAP to give them a good start on growth, and he can do the rest when he can fit it into his schedule. Seemed interested in the project and stayed around to take measurements and told me he'd send me an estimate in a few days that would be itemized for each phase. 1 month has elapsed and not a word from him. This was specific items I wanted done and a full design wasn't needed. Professional courtesy on his part is to do as he said with the estimate in a timely manner or if there are delays getting this to me as promised, at least informing me he will need longer. Guess he is only interested in the McMansion projects. You have earned your "F" review.

Several things here. First off, it has been two weeks and two days since our meeting and his review, not a month. It was written very clearly in his original email that he wanted to do the planting portion as the first phase in late August to early September. We discussed that being a better time than the middle of the Summer also. So there wasn't anything we discussed doing ASAP. He talked extensively in a negative tone about the neighbor and other landscape companies he had contacted. After thinking about it I wasn't comfortable with the situation and potentially getting involved in property line disputes. I guess I should have told him that, but he probably would have written a negative review anyway.

Blake was excellent. He came out, walked the yard with us and listened to what we wanted to do. We have 3 other houses that kind of run together and wanted a way to create a natural landscape to separate out our yard from the others. We are also not very good at keeping landscapes alive (we killed a cactus once!), so we asked for low maintenance shrubs and trees. Blake came up with a plan at a reasonable price. Installation was a breeze, his workers did a good job in laying down soil, mulch, and planting the shrubs. 4 years later, they look really good. Unfortunately, the trees in the one area that we needed the separation the most haven't exactly grown very much, but I don't blame him for it. It is probably the soil or some other external circumstance. All in all, I would definitely recommend Blake to anyone.

Going into this job, I had a landscape plan which specified this feature but I only had a vague idea about what I was looking for in terms of implementation. I contacted Blake and sent him some marked up drawings, and he came out to take a look at the area. It seemed like we were pretty much on the same page with respect to vision and the price was in the ballpark of what I was expecting so I contracted the work. Blake's team showed up when they said they would, and the work took most of the day to complete. His crew was not working full time (there was some downtime while waiting on stone delivery, etc) but the work was completed in 1 day. The workers were polite, although I really only interacted with one on-site worker. Blake showed up mid day to check on progress and again towards the end of the day. It would be easy to say that the final product wasn't exactly 'what I envisioned', but the important thing to keep in mind is that often on these types or projects there's no hard and fast 'right' or 'wrong' solution. Although I have a fair amount of plant/landscape knowledge, I don't have a lot of hardscape knowledge. That's why I thought that it was important to call a professional to do the work! I really think it turned out well and after a few moderate rains, the functionality appears to be working as designed. I felt comfortable interacting and working with Blake, and I feel that he will stand behind his work if there are any issues going forward. I've posted a few pictures including a final picture of a reworked ramp that was added by a different contractor. Now I just need to get some plants beds established and I will be done! 5/11/15 Update - after a few months of being in service, I'd like to comment that this installation is functioning well and as designed. I have ventured out during some very heavy rainstorms and it is collecting, channeling, and diverting water exactly as I had hoped!
Description of Work: Graded existing area to install dry creek bed (approx 25' X 4'). Creek bed was lined with landscape fabric, and a mixture of various sized river rock (1" to 12") was added to the bed. A 12" square basin was installed at the lower end of the bed, and approx 60' of double walled 4" drain pipe was routed to discharge water to a wooded area.

One of the best landscapers I have ever had in my life.
Description of Work: They installed a drip irrigation system, They tilled all the existing beds, they added top notch qulaity top soil, and they planted all the plants that were discussed with Blake, Seck, the plants were perfect, the arrival time was top notch.

We have a small front yard and we had just moved in so we opted to not do anything. It was a well balanced layout of what we might do, we just didn't pursue it because financially we had just moved and weren't ready. He certainly knew what he was doing. I gave his name to a neighbor down the road. We wouldn't need his services again. The town home community where we live has since hired and done its own landscaping. This has become a part of our home owners association.
Description of Work: I purchased a Deal for complete landscape design and consultation. Not a lot of work was done. Primarily, we received a design of what we might do, with lots of greenery.
