“The crew came out and did a great job pulling out and replanting the foundation planting at my home. The pulled out 7 old azaleas and 3 newer ones, The 3 they replanted in another area for me. The new planting was done quickly and all the material appears to be doing great. The Paperbark Maple is of excellent quality and well shaped. The crew was courteous and polite. The nandinas and hydrangeas used in the new planting were of excellent quality and size. This was not contractor grade material, true nursery stock quality.”

“We have used Landscape Concepts continuously since 2012 for landscape services, mowing and routine maintenance and clean up. They are really good at minimizing any disturbance of surrounding plants when they are working. They keep our property looking as good as it can be. Their crews are excellent: thorough, efficient, respectful and responsive. Their clean up after working is always really great. They have planted, transplanted, and removed trees, bushes and other plantings at my exact direction (I'm very hands-on). While the cost to guarantee their plantings is high (60% of the cost of the plant material) it is the industry standard and Dale honors his guarantee with no-cost replacement. They do excellent hard-scaping (stone walls, brick and paver patios, etc). They are usually pretty prompt, but some seasons are pretty busy, so give yourself some lead time if you have a hard deadline. Dale is very knowledgeable, responsive, accessible and easy to coordinate with. I find a lack of continuity with landscape architects on staff, so it is helpful for you to have an idea of what you like or want when it comes to designing a space. I always keep a project plan with detailed notes and make progress updates. Credit card payment is not accepted.”

“We hired Jane Luce to design a backyard living space and upgrade and redesign the front yard. Working with Jane has been and continues to b e a pleasure. We started working with Jane in 2011 and continue to seek her expertise as our spaces mature. She created original outdoor spaces that are customized to our lifestyle and personality. Moreover, she collaborated with us throughout the design process from concept to completion offering us different cost options and different phases of the overall design plan. Always professional, upbeat and detail oriented, she transformed our drab, unusable outdoor space into a work of art that we enjoy every single day. We couldn't be happier.”

“We have been very pleased with the gardening plans that Sunny Pond has developed for our property. We have used Richard's expertise in two areas of our property, our driveway entrance and a side bed across from our pond. We have a rural setting and wanted to plant beds to enhance our natural environment versus a formal garden. Richard drew up a unique plan and color coded the plant drawings so we could envision how the beds would appear throughout the seasons providing continual color. The work is guaranteed replanting shrubs that did not survive the first year. We highly recommend Sunny Pond.”

“In 2010, my wife and I purchased a beautiful 68 acre farm in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. The farmhouse, originally built in 1817, and then expanded in 1867, was in fairly original condition, and optimally located in the center of the property. It's most significant problem, however, was water. Rain water would shed off the nearby ridge, and pool in front of the house, and then ultimately leak through the hand dug cellar walls and cracks in the cement floor. The sump pump in the basement would run for weeks after a single heavy rain. Our little Garden of Eden was becoming a swamp. Consequently, we looked to Joe Duggan of J. Duggan & Associates to help structurally, and permanently, solve our water problem. This was our first time working with a landscape architect. Joe recommended and coordinated the hiring of several key professionals to assist with the design of the project, namely a topographer/surveyor and an arborist. The topographer mapped the elevations around the farm house and associated ridge, and determined the various sources of the water pooling in front of the house. The arborist identified which of the seven 150 year old trees that closely ringed the house were still healthy, and which were in failing condition. With this data, Joe created several drafts of various front patio and stone retaining wall configurations that primarily solved our water problem, but also took advantage of the fabulous views from our front porch. The project plan we ultimately settled on was both simple and elegant, and in perfect keeping with the age of the house and surrounding farm land. The stone patio and stone retaining wall were built on reinforced concrete that had a series of drains embedded within the structure that successfully discharged water away from the house. Having stated that though, the drains are cleverly concealed within the patio and surrounding grounds. The patio is perfect for entertaining while it performs its utilitarian task of keeping water out of the house. As we were new to the area, Joe also identified a stone mason/general contractor who actually built the patio and retaining walls according to his specifications. During construction, it seemed to us that one set of stone piers looked like they were going to be too high. Joe immediately came out, sat in the front porch chairs that we were sitting in, and agreed that the offending piers could be shortened. In the end, we have been exceptionally pleased with the work and care that Joe put into this project. The front porch/stone patio/stone retaining walls are beautiful, and in keeping with the spirit of our house and farm.”

“Danny and his team of professional landscapers designed and transformed approximately 1/3 of an acre in my backyard. They took a wooded area overcome by various dead trees, many vines, pricker bushes, and poison ivy, and turned it into a beautiful, usable space. The team first pruned all the healthy trees, removed the dead trees and roots, removed the huge vines with a frontloader, removed the top 2 inches of soil after removing significant undergrowth (pricker bushes and poison ivy), and then regraded the area. They sprayed lines and trenched out mulch beds around tree clusters to maximize the beauty of the landscape, and then planted new grass using a high quality shade seed blend before dropping straw on top. Danny and his team took pride in their work resulting in a product that far exceeded my expectations having been a former landscaper and being very detailed when it comes to my yard. The Advantage 'advantage' showed through in Danny's innovative solution to a huge tree stump that would not come out of the ground without pursuing an expensive removal method. His team built a beautiful, rustic fire pit around the stump after cutting it close to the ground. They excavated the area around the stump and built the fire pit with huge rustic boulders that ended up being perfectly suited to the landscape. In addition, the team reshaped, trenched, remulched, and staked 16 tree mounds on newly planted trees on the surrounding property. All of this work was performed at a very reasonable price and in a high quality manner. Advantage has earned my business for more projects down the road. Rare to find a good landscaping company and true professionals like Danny. Thanks, Advantage!”
