“I can’t say enough positive things about “Creative by Design”. The result was custom and artistic. Quotes were fair and stuck to. As well as a hard worker and reliable, his communication skills were excellent so you knew exactly what was happening. The project involved removing a few trees, stumps and roots, adding beds, brickwork along with plants and shrubs. Halfway through the project I had hired him to do the irrigation around my home as well. No problem!
I would and have already recommended this company to anyone.
Thanks Phil for a job well done.”

We hired these guys to redevelop our backyard in late Spring of 2017. We needed to fix drainage issues, tear out a rotting patio and manage multiple levels of a very sloped yard. When we met Phil for the initial consultation we were impressed with his attention to detail and quality and how much he cared about doing a quality job that looks great. It was clear he took a lot of pride in his work. Phil took our vision and made it into reality including stonework, curved planting beds, space for a vegetable garden, irrigation and lighting. He guided us toward practical decisions and was always transparent about cost. It was easy to work with Phil throughout the project – he was very respectful of our yard and space, communicated openly and was patient with our many questions. The finished results are excellent and looks outstanding around our home. I am in awe of the attention to detail that they gave our project. I would hire them again in an instant and will recommend them to anyone who asks.
