Wonderful from start to finish. David is an incredibly creative designer backed by a hard working team. Most of all, they have earned our trust. The work will always be top quality and completely thought out. We still work with Native Landscapes for ongoing maintenance and seasonal plantings. They will have our future business as well.

We contacted this company to get an estimate on landscaping services. I can't remember the owner's name, but he was prompt in returning phone calls and scheduling a time to meet with us. He spent about two hours at our initial meeting discussing our wants and needs. We asked him to address a drainage problem in our yard, help us improve our current irrigation system, and design some beds and other landscaping details. He went above and beyond in every category, but in the end he was just too expensive for us.

Response from NATIVE LANDSCAPES INC
No firm written or verbal quote was given to this prospective client so we are unsure how we were deemed "too expensive." Ballpark numbers/costs given upon initial meetings are typically adjusted during subsequent discussions with a client after narrowing down project priorities and budgets. We appreciate the feedback however. Thank you.

David Donohue was recommended by a general contractor who had done a beautiful room addition for us a few years earlier. David came out and listened while we pointed out areas of concern. Returning a couple of weeks later with a computer-based presentation that enabled us to see how our property could look, David had incorporated every single thing we asked him to address. He even considered views from our windows and from multiple locations on our lot. The vision was beyond anything we could ever have imagined. Over the next two months, he and his team regraded the property which resulted in a multi-level area. They installed hardscape, moved plants, brought in some new things, installed irrigation and lighting, and completed an amazing transformation. We no longer have any drainage problems, even during a very heavy rain, and everyone who visits is amazed at how beautiful our property has become. David is personally invested in every project he does. His excitement in crafting the design and then giving it life is contagious. Each day we would have another reason to be thrilled with this project. Now that it is finished, we are sorry we did not do this sooner!
Description of Work: Drainage and turf problems resulted in a need to reduce lawn and increase planting areas. We consulted David Donohue about our concerns. He returned a couple of weeks later with a computer-based presentation, a "blue-print style" drawing showing the finished design, a plant list, and estimate of costs, and explained the project as he envisioned it. He and his team regraded the property on three sides of our house, installed concrete base and travertine stone walkways and walls, transplanted existing trees and shrubs and added some new plants, installed lighting, and modified the irrigation system to accommodate the new landscape. This involved using heavy equipment and arranging materials delivery, as well as supervision of a team of landscapers.
