We have worked with David on multiple projects. His knowledge, quality of plant material and service are top notch.  
Chris G.Greensboro, NC

The 18 foot hollies are amazing. They totally and instantly solved our view problem — rather than looking at a newly constructed commercial building, we now look out on lush green plantings.

Thomas & Pat B.Apex, NC
They’ve done multiple projects for me and the results have always been wonderful.  
Larua W.Chapel Hill, NC

David, we absolutely love the landscape makeover you did for our property. We’ve gone from having an overgrown yard that hid our home to beautiful plantings that complement our house design. Our neighbors love it, too.

They over-delivered, came in on budget, and solved our privacy issues. We highly recommend them!
