Our side yard was a mess. We had a large amount of water that would gather from the downspout and run off from the yard. We had removed 3 large pine trees last year which left a network of roots. The entire side yard was overgrown. Mike designed a landscape design that fit with the rest of our yard as well as the neighbor's yard and included the appropriate drainage. His crew was efficient and detail oriented. They were quick and cleaned up after themselves. Communication was clear and Mike made sure we were happy with the work. We were very happy with the work done and the price was fair. We will definitely recommend them to friends and use them again in the future.

A few years ago we attended an outdoor party at a friend's house and couldn't help but admire their beautiful patio and backyard. When we asked who did the work they said 'The Secret Garden".Early this summer we decided our 20 year old patio was in definite need of an overhaul. We met with several companies, but Mike from Secret Garden wanted to do more than just replace what we had - he drew up plans creating a much more creative space than we could have imagined. We fell in love with Mike's vision and so went ahead with the project. Kevin, Antonio, and the rest of the crew did an outstanding job. They were very particular and everything went according to plan. Mike was always prompt when meeting with us, and came by to inspect the crew's work at the end of every day. The project was completed on time and...it's absolutely gorgeous! Not surprisingly, we've been spending a lot more time outside now. If I happen to be inside I keep looking at it and admiring it when I'm looking out the window. Mike and his crew are the best! I'd recommend them in a heartbeat for any landscape projects you may be dreaming of.

I called to ask whether the Secret Garden was available for landscape maintenance this summer and snow removal this winter. The person on the phone indicated that they were "all booked up" without offering to put me on a waiting list or offering any referral to another landscape and snow removal service in the area. With this poor level of professionalism, I'm surprised that Secret Garden is "all booked up."

As a native Texan moving into a home with a beautifully landscaped yard, I was quickly overwhelmed with how quickly EVERYTHING grows. Not knowing any of the local plants, my beautiful yard was quickly overrun by weeds (which I thought were all flowers - everything here blooms!). In desperation I contacted The Secret Garden. Their maanger Jeff came out and surveyed. He even walked us through the garden and identified every plant, whether it was a weed or not, and even gave us some tips on pruning and maintenance. After accepting their quote, they came by and sprayed the garden, and two weeks later came and removed all of the weeds. I was absolutely floored when I saw the end result. I couldn't believe they were able to remove EVERY SINGLE WEED, dead or alive, in an eight hour span. They even managed to spare the myriad of lilies, sedum, and flowers that had been hidden by the various weeds. Their precision was practically surgical! We showed the cleaned-yard off to a couple of relatives, who immediately requested contact information for The Secret Garden. We'll definitely be using them again for all of our landscape and lawncare needs! These guys are the BEST!

They did work on several occasions and did a good job. However, last time they broke a window frame and did not want to be accountable for it. They finally did offer to pay for half of the replacement cost. I think they should have replaced it at full cost. We would have kept doing business with them.

The designer that worked with me did a great job interpreting the look I was asking for, incorporated the plants I said I liked and came up with ideas based on problem areas, such as widening a narrow driveway with brick borders. He gave me a written summary of how to take care of the garden and stopped by a few times after it was done to check on the growth. They also replaced plants that didnt survive the winter the following year.

Description of Work: They removed large trees and did extensive landscaping work. They also did some drain tile work. The owner also checks up on us to see if there are any problems.
