R.Youngblood & Co.

This company's attention to detail and the talents of their staff are what set them apart. My landscape looks its best all year long, thanks to the maintenance staff. They monitor the irrigation system and evaluate the health of my plants on a weekly basis. Their landscape designs are creative and completely suitable to the site. They go to great lengths to make sure there is good communication with me. They are friendly, approachable, and in my opinion, true artists at what they do. I truly feel lucky to have them as a partner in keeping my landscape looking beautiful. My project included a complete rehaul of the front yard and strategic enhancements of the rest of the landscape. They demonstrated that they could do both projects expertly, while staying on budget.

Our experience with R. Youngblood & Co. exceeded our expectations. Superior creative design and artistic vision, combined with a dedicated team of professional installers and technicians, created a beautiful landscape and an amazing experience. R. Youngblood & Co. was a trusted partner in our outdoor landscaping project. I highly recommend.

R. Youngblood & Co. (Artistic Landscaping) installed our landscape for our newly constructed home. The design plan was good overall, however his choice of shrubs and other trees were not ideal for this area. Damage from deer and harsh winters are not tolerated well. Most importantly, our sod was laid directly on top of clay soil. Is it extremely difficult to have a healthy lawn with clay soil, as the roots cannot penetrate and grow. Grass is 90% roots, hence our lawn is weak. During 2006, we paid top dollar to this company, only to end up with so many problems that could have been prevented. I have seen many homes built in our sub in the last several years that have put town top soil or another quality soil before laying sod. And you can tell what a difference it makes. None of the 150 + homes built in recent years have used R. Youngblood Landscape, which is interesting. Most homes are $500,000 +. The company also also been very standoffish and unavailable when we have had questions over the years. I would not recommend this company, as his choice of materials are not appropriate for this area and I don't believe he has a good understanding of how to establish an enduring, healthy lawn.

R. Youngblood & Co.has modified and redesigned the existing landscaping at our home in a very creative and beautiful way. Ryan's talent has enhanced and added both value and enjoyment to our home. R. Youngblood & Co provides and coordinates our complete landscape maintenance program as well. His well supervised staff is efficient, meticulous and very knowledgeable . We have worked with Ryan for many years now and couldn't be happier with design and maintenace services. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for high quality design and services.

From design to implementation, this firm delivered on the high expectations we had for our project. The use of plants and trees we selected and the quality of those delivered were exceptional. All aspects of the project were professional right down to the sprinkler system. Our project included grass, pool, trees, gardens, sprinklers and ornamental planters.

Very creative and organized team, and responsive to customer questions and comments. Easy to develop plans with, and quite knowledgeable about what plant materials look good and work well in the local climate. Would recommend without reservation.

R. Youngblood did a complete design build for us, and now they handle all maintenance as well. Our experience was excellent. This isn't your ordinary landscaping company -- Ryan and his team are very meticulous, creative, professional, friendly and responsive. Their designs are unique and interesting while very classic, and they have a very high quality standard that they relentlessly work to achieve. They are not a budget choice, but if you want excellent work and great service, we'd highly recommend them.

I am a local architect in Rochester, Mi. and I have worked with R. Youngblood on many of projects and have even worked with them on my own home. The R. Youngblood & CO. team designs the landscape to fit the style that the client is looking for. The designs always enhances the homes aesthetics and brings many unique ideas into the project. His installations teams quality, responsiveness, and attention to detail is extraordinary and really complete the design/build philosophy that R. Youngblood & Co. strive to achieve.

Working with Ryan of R. Youngblood & Co. was a real privilege as he knew the traditional feel we wanted to achieve for our project. He loves the look of olde world gardens typical in England, and his extensive research of plantings and courtyard designs often seen in the U.K. helped a great deal with our overall design. During the daytime, the outdoor areas provide a private and serene environment, while the evenings provide great entertaining with the use of custom wrought iron gaslit torchieres and authentic copper French Quarter gaslit lanterns. Ryan, and the cooperation of his entire Team, helped exceed our original ideas and expections. We couldn't be more pleased.

We chose R. Youngblood and Co. based on seeing their remarkable work in the Rochester area. Their landscape design concept for our home was creative and in total harmony with our house's architecture, our natural setting and our lifestyle. Our patio and gardens are now a showplace that we enjoy daily and serve as a focal point for entertaining. We can't say enough good things about this company and its hard working crew. -Art and Joanne G. Oakland Township, MI
