We love our new retaining wall and patio! Richard is fantastic to work with, his crew is efficient and hard working, and they clean up the space very well! This was our second project with Richard Laney and we've referred him to several neighbors!

I can't recommend Richard and team enough. They did an amazing job on my back yard, adding a patio, retaining wall, French drain, drip irrigation, plus regraded my slope. They did this in less time than I spend trying to mow on a Saturday! Quick, very VERY responsive (huge in my book). They're focused on detail and it shows in their work. A++++++ all around. special kudos to Tanya from the office. She's great.

Richard and his crew replaced our front walk with pavers and solved a long-standing erosion issue on our property with a natural retaining wall of boulders. The work was done on time and within budget. A very pleasant experience. Thank you!

Great experience with Richard and his team. The entire process was very professional. Tanya provided excellent communication throughout. Our project consisted of a ~400 sq ft patio and fire pit. Price was very competitive. We got the results we wanted in a quick timeframe. We will certainly recommend to our neighbors and friends and will use Richard's crew again for future projects.

First impression through the quoting process was that this is a professional company. Tanya, the office manager, was very organized and offered great communication when it came to scheduling a visit for a quote, and scheduling the work itself. Richard backfilled roughly 150' of retaining wall that I had built, and fine graded my yard, plowed some nutrients into the dirt, formed several mulch beds, and seeded for my future lawn. Quote was competitive and the work was completed professionally, and quickly.

We had a new build home and the landscaping by the builder was minimal at best and did not accentuate our home. We researched landscapers in our area and saw Richard's website. He came to our home to give us a free quote. We could immediately tell that Richard had a vision for our home's yard. Richard worked side by side with his team to beautify our yard and we couldn't be more pleased.

Our home looks entirely different with the variety of colors and textures from the plants and flowerbeds we now have. Richard has a talent! He saw the potential of what could be a beautiful lawn from absolutely nothing. We are using Richard again this spring to add more to the backyard!

Late-October 2019, Richard Laney complete landscaping at my home. Late-Summer 2020, I contacted him and sent photos of two emerald green arborvitae, which he planted, that had turned yellow. Both plants had faded to yellow each totally lacking any green branches. He came to my home to check the plants and the irrigation that he installed around the plants.

His instruction was to wash down the plants with water, and continue to regularly water. When he inferred my dogs were the cause, I fenced off each plant the same evening. I trusted his professional instruction and words that the plants would improve. My large male dogs, who oddly squat, are not able to do so over 5-6' plants. The fencing prevents even brushing against the plants. Charlotte had mild temperatures through Fall and Winter with regular rain.

The two continued to declined changing from yellow to dry brown. The landscaping is lovely, but Laney does not stand behind his product. He does, of course, support replacement. This at a charge because I was contacting him past one year. The plants were dead when I initially contact him. Richard Laney chose not to replace the plants within the year period. Instead, he offered "professional" advise and deflected his accountability in standing behind his product. He pushes out past the year then charges for replacements. Not a tactic of which I would personally be proud.

I had a great experience with this company. Tanya made scheduling our project easy. Richard provided a very thoughtful consult listening carefully to the needs of our family's backyard landscape goals. The project was executed as agreed and the team was friendly and professional during the project. We are so satisfied and proud of our new yard. Cant wait for them to come back and help with the front!

Richard and his team did a fantastic job on a large new patio for us, the removal of several trees, and the installation of crape myrtles. Not only was the quality of this work very high, Richard was very professional and knowledgeable. We only selected this company after meeting with several other potential contractors. The pricing was also very competitive.

We have hired Richard Laney to do several projects. The first time we hired him we had 7 companies come to our home for quotes. Richard was one of the few who even got quotes to us. His quote was done within one hour of being at our home. His quote was accurate. He was honest with his numbers and time. He and his crew stuck to their projected time line of one week.

It was a huge project. One of the aspects of the first job was landscaping our hill side slope. A few of the plants (only one type) didn't survive. We followed his water recommendation and the plants didn't survive. So, he replaced them. No questions asked. Now those plants (along with all of the other plants and trees) are thriving and beautiful.

Our yard has been transformed. Several months later we didn't even bother to get other quotes. We knew Richard was honest and all about quality. He installed 3 French drains and helped with other aspects of our drainage problems. His work has been amazing. We are so thankful we found him. I can enjoy the rain now that we don't have a swamp in our back yard.

He installed hardscape, landscape, concrete stairs, mulch, truck loads of dirt, leveled the ground, French drains, built slopes for drainage, installed rock for drainage, planted bushes, grasses and trees. Honestly-he was amazing. I'd give him more then 5 stars if it were possible.

Richard did a fantastic job on our paver driveway and landscaping project. His work is beautiful! He was very responsive to our calls and texts and was able to answer any questions we had through the process. We will absolutely use Richard when we have more work to be done. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Richard and his crew did the most amazing job for us. We first realized we were working with a very personable, yet professional contractor. Not only is he a great person with a great personality, but he does what he says he'll do, and does it when he says he will.
