I contacted Nature's Realm to renovate our backyard after reading the reviews here as they seemed to have far and away the best feedback in my neck of the woods.
Now when I originally called Kevin informed me that he would be busy this week with the jobs he had already taken and would not be able to see me until next week. I'm not exactly known for my patience but I decided I could give him a full week and if I didn't hear back I would move on and find someone else.
Kevin ended up calling me back the following Monday (I had called him Wednesday morning) and I explained to him what I was wanted to do, we then bounced some ideas off each other and I had an immediate good vibe about the project. He offered suggestions, but wasn't pushy, and helped me understand what would work best for each area of my property, as I'm located in the Heights so my landscape options may be more tricky than others since my property is probably smaller than someone in the Memorial area.
Once he showed us his previous designs ideas I was excited, though still skeptical, because when it's your stuff things never seem to go as well as they do for everyone else, or so was my previous outlook on this type of thing. I have to say that Kevin's designs were much more original and beautiful than many of our friends. I couldn't wait to see if he could deliver the same results to us.
We ended up having a flagstone patio built with a covered roof and ceiling fans installed and now we spend so much more time in our backyard. We also had Kevin and his team build us a raised vegetable and herb garden that all of our friends are just stunned by when they come over. They installed a micro irrigations system that makes it very easy for us to keep it beautiful and put in drip irrigation lines in our shrub beds to assist in watering our landscape. Everything is growing so much better now. This might all sound intimidating if you aren't familiar with it, but I assure you it isn't. Kevin is able to answer your questions without giving you double talk and you know exactly what is what.
The wife and I are already discussing what we want to have done next and we will without hesitation call Nature's Realm up again to do the work.
