Jonathon Swilley, the owner, and his crew are geniuses! Jonathon is a consummate professional. He understands what you want, knows what you need and is an incredible communicator. In two days, as promised, they finished the project. If something could be done a better way or even a more efficient way, at some cost savings, he would discuss it and make sure you were completely clear on what would go on. The crew worked as hard as any folks I have seen here-supervised or not. I highly recommend this company. This was a huge pleasure for me to have hired Southern Accents Landscaping and Jonathon.
Description of Work: My backyard was devastatedbuy Florence and the subsequent removal of 10 very mature Leyland cedars. I lost the trees, a bunch of bushes and lots of yard. I needed a new lawn, regrading the whole yard, new border plants to replace the trees, the drain system in the yard cleaned up and reconnected, and the sprinkler system reestablished.

Jonathan was nothing but professional and extremely helpful with his suggestions. He and his team were efficient, timely and respectful. They took pride in their work (even fixing our sprinkler system in order to test it). Would highly recommend to anyone looking for knowledgeable team. Additionally Jonathan will be our first call if we ever have any landscaping needs again.
Description of Work: We needed to remove and transplant the entire front landscaping. Including hauling away several large brushes and planted a tree.

Great. Jonathan came and met me, gave me his professional opinion, estimate, and started sooner than originally expected. He was there first thing in the morning the day after Christmas with his crew and finished in less time than he estimated. SO, he reduced his bill accordingly and suggested I get new LED bulbs. I put the difference towards the bulbs and it looks great. He is solid, not a flake like so many other people I've had give estimates and try to hire. He had to troubleshoot my existing wiring and fix it where there was bad wiring. All completed and working great. Will definitely hire again when I do my backyard.
Description of Work: Landscape-walkway lighting.

It project went very well. We are very happy with the results. Jonathan is extremely reliable and conscientious. He is easy to work with. He listens to what you are thinking of and comes up with suitable options.
Description of Work: Our back yard had a large area that could not grow grass due to lack of sun. Jonathan designed a paver patio area with creekstone paths leading from our porch to the patio. He created mulched areas where we can grown plants that thrive in shade. He saved both front and back yards by aerating them, applying grass seed to bare spots and putting the grass on a fertilizer schedule. We have a camper that we keep in the side backyard. He installed gravel there and put a granite flagstone path leading from the creekstone path to the front gate.
It went like it should. Its very refreashing to come acroos an operation who's main concern is their customer. Southern Accents Landscape Design Inc has had my business in the past and will have my business in the future. I'll go nowhere else. Do yourself a favor hire Johnathon Swilly and his crew for all your land scaping needs
Description of Work: S.A.L.D. Inc has worked in transforming my home's land scaping into something i was very proud of. From the installation of my automated irrigation system to the picking out and placement of folage, shrubs and trees. For 15 years they handled my bi-annual pre-imeregent weed control. They handled my warm weather fertilization program. They installed my automatic accent lighting which was a very dramic improvement to front of the house. They did as much or as little as i asked, which was nice. This is all past tense due to the fact that that home has been sold, I was able to recieve the most money per square foot than any other home in my neighborhood, ever, and i'm sure the apperance of my home's landscape, curb appeal had alot to do with it.

My wife and I were well pleased. Southern Accents Landscaping was knowledgeable, informative, and designed our landscaping very well. We did not know how to begin or choosing our landscaping and Southern Accents Landscaping walked us through each decision.
Description of Work: Southern Accents Landscaping overhauled the landscaping on the front and side of our home. From a complete tear out of the beds to new beds and landscaping.
Excellent service! My wife and I have been very impressed with South Accents. We originally had the team do planting of bushes and trees, along with rye grass seeding in the fall. The team came back in the spring to add Saint Augustine sod. Very professional and efficient team. We appreciated their expertise, input, and honesty.

I called for a quote in the afternoon and Jonathan returned my call early the next morning. We scheduled a time for him to come look at the situation and he arrived when he said he would. He explained what he would do and how long it would take, with the unknown being any potential problems with removing the roots. He answered all of my questions and provided me with a proposal before he left. I selected Jonathan to do the job. He and his crew arrived promptly and did an excellent job. They were courteous, professional, and very responsive to questions I asked while they were working. Jonathan, also, took time to answer my questions about replacement plants and provided me with a suggested list and reasoning. The crew, also, did an excellent job cleaning up the area. I was very pleased with the job and would not hesitate to use this company again.
Description of Work: I had some large shrubs around a portion of my house that needed to be removed. The roots had to be removed, also. I did not want any heavy equipment on my lawn so I asked for a quote for hand digging.

Beautifully! Jonathan and his crew were able to get out within a few days, finish quickly, and did a beautiful job. He went above and beyond by pruning my bushes and adding stone fines to a flagstone path. It's amazing how much they can do in so short a time and it still turn out immaculately! I'm totally pleased!

Jonathan was professional and kind and most importantly, knowledgeable. He was sure to consider what was important to me in regards to appearance and maintenance when helping me to choose shrubs and trees for my property and they look great. His team was respectful, efficient, and punctual. They did not cut corners in any way and actually went above and beyond. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing this type of service.
Description of Work: Southern accents has helped me with multiple projects including but not limited to the design and installation of new trees and shrubs and correcting a drainage issue on my property.
Southern Accents Landscaping provides beautiful landscaping and excellent customer service. They are very professional and detail oriented. We are very pleased with the work done at this home and in the past. We appreciate Jonathan's commitment to quality work and will not hesitate to call him in the future. I would recommend Southern Accents Landscaping to anyone looking to have quality yard work done. * There are two pictures showing work before and two pictures showing after work was completed
Description of Work: We purchased a new home and needed sod placed in the backyard. We've used Southern Accents Landscaping in the past, so did not hesitate to reach out to Jonathan for a quote. As always, he responded in a timely manner and provided us with quotes for different options we had discussed. He and his team graded the back yard, created a nice curved line between the yard and beds, and placed the sod. Jonathan has also done other work for me, including but not limited to, testing for pests/insects, providing fertilizer plans, planting barrier trees, and irrigation, brush clearing & maintenance.
Southern Accents did a fantastic job installing my landscaping the way I envisioned. Some of the plants I wanted installed were one's they had to search to find, which they did without a problem. My yard is beautiful, even at night with the accent lighting they installed. After three years it has grown in very nicely. I have continued to do work in the yard, including some hardscape work, which they designed and installed along with extra drainage that was needed. Jonathan, the owner, is easy to reach and very willing to answer questions I may have about mainitng my lawn and plants. I am very happy with their work and will continue to use them and recommend them whenever I get the opportunity.
Description of Work: Southern Accents installed all the sod and landscaping, including irrigation and landscape lighting for my new home 3 years ago. One year later they helped to design and then installed a stone paver patio and river stone pathway. Southern Accents continues to help me maintain my landscaping by providing annual pruning and maintenance.

It went great. I was living in Minnesota while our house was being built here in Brunswick County. We discovered our backyard slope was going to be more than we were comfortable with. Worked with Jonathan by phone from Minneapolis exchanging plot plans and wall diagrams by email. Finished product was as we agreed and the quality of work appears to have been excellent. We have received may compliments on our retaining wall and have given referrals for Southern Accents to others. Would hire again if more work were needed.
Description of Work: Needed a 3 foot high by 130 foot long retaining wall installed around the back portion of our property.

Work was done on short notice and quality was excellent. Original estimate was exceeded however. Since we were not in state and everything was done by phone and email, it's hard to know how much of the responsibility for the cost increase belongs to the vendor.
Description of Work: Build a retaining wall 3 feet high by 130 feet long at a new construction site where we had a home built for us. Wall was then backfilled with 14 truckloads of dirt.
