Island Creek Landscape is a residential design and installation company specializing in landscaping, hardscapes, landscape lighting, and drainage solutions. Island Creek Landscape is a fully authorized Belgard Contractor and is the only company in the area with the Master Craftsman designation, the highest level of certification from Belgard. Owned and operated by Daniel Griffin, a NC State alumnus, Island Creek is staffed with dependable employees with numerous industry certifications.
We used Island Creek Landscape 11 years ago when we built our home in Highgate (Union County) and they did a great job. When we built our new home at Lake Tillery, we used them again and as usual, they didn't disappoint. They put in a hardscape patio, raised beds, artificial turf, sod, mulch and graded for erosion and ran drain pipes. They also did a rain chain and drain for my wife! We also had irrigation done. I highly recommend them. Their prices are reasonable and the quality of work exceptional. Daniel is extremely knowledgable of plants, hardscape, water features, grading, mulching and planning. The crews were very respectful of the property and went above and beyond. Will post pics soon.

We are repeat customers and highly recommend Island Creek Landscape. Their first patio still looked perfect after 15 years with no settling or shifting. Now they've expanded it and added some decorative soldiered brick linings to fit with our new renovation and we love it even more.

Description of Work: Daniel is very professional and easy to work with. This is the second time we have used his services. This job called for the removal of all shrubs and small trees from the front entrance of our neighborhood where we have two brick walls on both sides of the street. He removed everything one day which allowed us to have someone come over to power wash the walls. He returned a couple of weeks later and planted perfectly sized shrubs/trees and flowers in front of both walls. It looks beautiful and our HOA is very pleased!

Response from Island Creek Landscape
The customer emailed us at 8:00 pm on the 23rd and we made contact with him by the end of the day on the 24th. We actually have an appointment set up to meet next week. The customer admitted he jumped the gun when he post the review less than 1 day after sending the email, and is in the process of having the review removed. Our goal is to return calls and emails asap. That is always done within 1 business day of the initial contact. We pride ourself on customer service and strive to make everyones exprience with Island Creek Landscape a positive one. Daniel Griffin President Island Creek Landscape

Description of Work: Daniels team came out and did a great job of cleaning up our flower beds and giving them a facelift. His suggestions on moving around and removing some plants and adding some bushes and a tree made everything look way better. For me it was a little expensive, but most of the time you get what you pay for. And this was one of those times. Everything looks great!

Description of Work: We are new to the area and used Angie's List to find a contractor for a brick patio installation. After several estimates we settled on Island Creek because of the positive ratings and trust we felt with Daniel. Daniel was prompt, professional, and very competitive in the estimate process. The job was completed on time and the installation team did a quality job with great attention to detail. The crew was always very professional - never heard foul language, worked very hard, and cleaned up each day. Highly recommend this company.

Perfect. No issues at all
Description of Work: Daniel and team came out to install drainage, grade property, and install sod. Awesome work. So happy. Him and his team so respectful of your property they treat it as there own. Daniel suggested Zoysia grass over Bermuda and was he right. Its worth the extra money. Never knew I could have what looks like a carpet as grass.

Description of Work: We hired Island Creek to install a paver patio, knee wall, fire pit and screened in porch. Daniel was very responsive. Of the several companies that provided quotes, he was the only one to schedule a follow up visit to make sure he had quoted exactly what we wanted. He worked with us to provide alternatives to meet our budget, met us at the stone supplier to pick materials and was on site often during the three week project. he subcontracted the screened porch portion and his sub was as professional as he was. we could mot be happier.

Excellent results. Worked full time on this project; not diverted by other projects. Very conscientious. Conformed well to landscape architecture plan. Made valuable suggestions relative to cost effective alternatives. Very good value for the cost. Communicated well the issues as they were discovered. Although my job was larger than what others might consider, I would recommend Island Creek for large or small jobs.
Description of Work: Company provided to me the following work on my new construction house: underground diversion of downspouts; paver installation; retaining walls installation; light grading; installation of gravel and stone walkways; spreading of mulch and wood chips; planting sod, grass, shrubs, trees. Coordinated very effectively with near simultaneous installation of underground irrigation system and installation of fence. Performed many different tasks and handled all quite well.

We couldn't have asked for better service. Daniel did the work himself, with one assistant, and the quality and appearance are excellent. Everything was done on schedule and with no unexpected costs. Several times, Daniel suggested better alternatives and with my approval changed the plans, resulting in something that I believe is very good in diverting the water runoff to prevent any future washout as we had before. I highly recommend considering him for your landscaping needs.
Description of Work: We had a narrow strip on one side of our house that was on a gentle slope, then steeply dropped at the end. We had severe erosion problems. Daniel installed steps and a retaining wall in the steep part, and long terraced steps on the gentler part. All steps and the wall were constructed with treated timbers - both 6X6 and 4X6, depending on the place and the application.
