Plan-It Green Landscapes

We purchased a house knowing that the severe hill in the back yard would need to be addressed. This hill was unsightly and was causing drainage issues. The yard that was flat held water, and we were worried about foundation issues. Jordan came and gave us a few options to address the problem. After speaking with other landscape companies we liked Jordan's analysis and price. We were looking to correct the problems and get as much flat yard as possible. Jordan suggested a retaining wall with a French drain behind the wall to stop rain water from running down the hill to the house. He corrected the sitting water by installing two drains in the low spots with French drains away from the house. He used large stone blocks for the wall, and brought us by different samples so we could pick the one we liked. On the remaining hill junipers were planted for ground cover. They were also able to add accent lighting to the wall at our request. This gives the yard a nice effect at night that is not too bright to bother the neighbors. They buried all cables and installed an access box on the porch that has different timing options. They re-seeded the yard and laid down hay, and less then 2 months later we are already seeing a lot of grass coming in. Plan it green was clean and efficient. The wall measures about 70 ft long by 3.5 ft high. The whole job took about 2 1/2 weeks, but they would have finished faster if there had been no rain. We would recommend them to anyone.

The owners, Jordan & Brandon Card, are extremely easy to work with and communicate with customers very well to ensure they understand the customer's interests and desires before design. They also have great ideas for landscaping that tailor to the interests of the customer. We could not be happier with our new patio and landscaping that creates a real sense of privacy in our back yard. The water feature they designed and installed includes a waterfall from the stone wall into a basin at the same grade as the patio and looks very natural and free flowing. This area, with the sounds of water falling and the landscaping, has become our haven and also a haven for the birds and other creatures that have been attracted to our back yard. We have been so happy with the work done that we have used Plan-It-Green for other smaller projects as well as maintenance work since this job was completed.
