My home was under construction when I called Angel Land Designs in to install a gate. That call opened the door for solving some serious problems my builder had created, as well as creating a yard I live in almost more than my house! They saw the possibilities in my yard that had never occurred to me! When they saw the small lake at my front door from the poor grading job the builder had done, they suggested that fixing the grade was more important than the gate. \r
\r
They fixed the grade, installed my driveway and turn-around and then proceeded to make my yard the envy of the neighborhood. They did what they said (and more) and the price was the price. I had much more done than I had planned, but the work was so beautiful and the process amazingly easy. \r
\r
I had a lot of work done:\r
\r
? They installed a beautiful stone entry with four columns and fencing across the front of my property, with a solar operated wrought iron gate with keypad entry\r
? They designed beautiful bed lines around the house and entry, and chose plants that fit my home perfectly\r
? They created a multi-level terraced effect on one side to fix drainage issues. Instead of the textured blocks or timbers, they used natural stone and boulders. WOW! The steps are these HUGE slabs of stone and they made natural stone slab walkways ? all with no mortar! Everyone who sees this is amazed. Each terrace is unique ? with grass, plants and flower beds, and one with a patio made of giant pieces of stone with grass in between.\r
? All of this leads to the most natural looking waterfall I have ever seen. \r
? I also wanted an outdoor fireplace, but my budget was getting tight. For much less than the cost of a fireplace, they created an area for a fire pit. The fire pit is very natural looking, made with stacked stone, and they set huge boulders as ?seats?. \r
? I even had them do the stonework on my fireplace. The man the builder hired never showed up. Angel Land did the work and it turned out perfect!\r
Pros: Amazing design, excellent workmanship, high level of quality control, very courteous
Cons: None really - any time you are working with the landscape, there is dirt. The manager called is ""breaking eggs to make the cake""!
