Southern Accents Landscaping + Design

Terrific! I was kept informed as to work schedule, given a proper written estimate, the guys cleaned up nicely at the end of the project. Since work has been done, we've had 2 heavy rain storms and all the drain work performed perfectly. So happy we went with Jonathan.

Jobs completed exceed expectations.

Jonathan and his crew are always THE BEST! I would never go with anyone else. He has worked with us at two homes over the past 15 years and we are always extremely satisfied. Jonathan goes above and beyond with each job. He seems to read my mind when it comes to landscape design...I usually just tell him to do whatever he thinks will look good and it always turns out better than expected. Not only is he brilliant at design, he is also extremely knowledgable about plant choices, plant health and designing for the future (what will look good in 10 years, not just the present). His crew is always on time, very respectful and obviously very knowledgable at each task they undertake . I highly recommend Jonathan and Southern Accents Landscape Design.

I reached out to Jonathan to get an estimate/recommendation for landscaping services for my back yard. Walkways were overgrown and had no design/plants. Jonathan reviewed the layout of my yard, irrigation system. Made recommendations based on what he thought would look best. He listened to me, when I stated which plants/shrubs I would like to see incorporated. He and his team took two days clean out the old mess, and lay the foundation for the new trees/plants/shrubs. The team was very efficient, clean and courteous. Arrived on time as scheduled. I would absolutely recommend Southern Landscapes to anyone.

Jonathon and his crew did a fantastic job solving an irrigation problem, planting new bushes and cleaning our front lawn. They also added dirt to level our back yard. Jonathon was punctual and polite and got the job done quickly. I highly recommend Jonathon and Southern Accents Landscape Design. I look forward to working with him in the future.

Jonathan set up initial assessment right away and was able to give me an estimate when he was at my house. He set up a time to do the work the next week and it was not a problem that I was going to be out of town. All communication was professional and helpful!

Excellent! Jonathan met every expectation and in many cases, far exceeded what I had expected. I was totally satisfied and would recommend his work to anyone.

Jonathan and his team were competitively priced and provided the most professional attention compared to other companies we met with. The work was completed in a timely manner with the detail and precision we were expecting. His team had patience and experience when it came to the design of the yard as well as what plants/trees would work best in the Wilmington climate. We love our outdoor space now and would absolutely use Southern Accents again.

Wonderfully! .... on time ... courteous, professional crew. Touched base over the next couple weeks to check and advise as to proper watering for the new sod.

Everything went great. John walked me through the process and made recommendations for the location and types of the sprinkler heads. Once the work was completed he showed me how to use the controls, as well as how to adjust, and maintain the sprinkler heads. Would definitely use Southern accents for any future landscaping needs.

Jonathan is very professional and responsive! He has been key in coming out any time we contact him and has been diligent way after the sale. He continues to address any issues we have. He is also very helpful with plants and trees that are indigenously growing in the area and will thrive! We can’t say enough positive things and will continue to use him with our landscaping and outdoor needs!

Very well! All work completed in one day. Our sprinkler system was adjusted to maximize thorough watering of all new plant materials & the crew cleaned up beautifully when they were finished!

Jonathan and his team were professional and the bushes they installed look great! They arrived on time, and I am very happy with the end result!

Jonathan was initially contacted to help us with an erosion issue which we thought would require a retaining wall (the wall was recommended by another landscaper). He assessed the situation and let us know the wall was not required and recommended a much simpler solution. He saved us thousands and so we could move on to another project we were wanting - a patio. His team did the work so quickly and did a beautiful job. I will definitely use his services again.

Wonderful! We have hired Jonathan and his team 3 times to complete seperate jobs. First was a french drain, which he was able to utilize the existing system and cuthis estimate in half. Second was landscaping and sod which has grown in nicely and look great. He was again able to get what wanted and stayed under budget. The third job he completed was a patio made of pavers and a stone wall. He again came in under budget. He and his team are respectful and kind. I have three small kids who were very excited and talkative about all the projects. He is our first call when we have an outside need! We definitely will hire again!

From start to finish Mr Swilley and his crew were super. The job was performed with attention to detail, completed on time and at the price quoted. The yard turned out perfect, a beautiful transformation. I highly recommend Southern Accents.

Jonathan and his crew were excellent. In building our new house I dealt with a bunch of different subcontractors from roofers, framers, plumbers, etc. and Jonathan and crew from Southern Accents Landscaping were leaps and bounds ahead of all other vendors we used. I would recommend these guys without any reservation to anyone contemplating any landscaping job!

The owner, Jonathan met with me and spent the time to find out what I was looking for and make recommendations and suggestions for what would work well in soil and amount of sun vs shade. His communication throughout the process was excellent. The entire crew were professional, proficient, and thorough. They showed up when they said they would and worked neatly and quickly. I would highly recommend Southern accents and plan to use them to design and plant my business property, which is highly visible on NC 117.

Jonathan was very professional, and more importantly thorough with his estimates and alternatives/substitution suggestions to save project dollars. He started the project on time and completed in the promised timeframe without weather delays. The work site was also clean! We already have another project planned mid Fall and we will hire Southern Accents Landscape Design.

Completed in half a day, high quality work.

I’ve used southern accents at my current home and my last house. I have been totally satisfied with their work. Both times the crew showed up on time, and performed the agreed upon work flawlessly. The owner made suggestions for a low maintenance plan and the work holds up nicely over time. They really pay attention to detail, and leave their work area spotless. Highly recommend.

Jon is knowledgeable, reliable and does quality work at a fair price.

This was the 2nd time we've used Southern Accents Landscape Design. Our wall looks amazing, got the work done quickly, and professionally. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

All the positive and awesome reviews made me want to work with this company. Unfortunately communicating with them was very difficult. My initial call, the 25th, was not answered but I left a message. They called me back on the 28th, unfortunately I was busy at work and could not answer and they left a message. I called back an hour later, with no luck again. Call again another hour later and no answer. I ended up resorting to contacting them through Angie's list instead of the phone and they called within an hour and was finally able to talk about getting a quote. Overall, from our conversation on the phone it didn't seem like he was very interested, but we schedule to meet on the next Monday anyways(although the time wasn't very clear, anywhere between 4 to after 5), and so I give him my address and instructions since it is a new subdivision. Luckily I was already working from home to get some other work done and I usually get off at 4 anyways, because they never showed up and i got no call saying they would not make it. I was called this morning to schedule a time to meet, even though we had already discussed to meet Monday. At this point I had already decided to move forward and find someone else. If communication is this difficult to get a quote, I don't want to take the chance to see what it is like after starting the project. Overall I give a D. I don't think it is fair to give an F since I don't know the quality of their work, but the communication was bad enough for me to not get the chance to see what the quality was like.

It went perfectly. Had to relevel yard, reestablish grass, establish a drain system and repair sprinkler system. Jonathan is great at understanding your requirements and coming up with a super plan. His communication is excellent and he is always available when you need him. His crew is exceptional. He was on schedule and under budget. Top level pro in this business. I will rehire for any job.
