C&H Gardens have done three projects for me and all of them were all I hoped for. They transformed my backyard which required extensive demolition of an old spa area and putting in a lawn with sprinkler system. They replaced fencing, removed and trimmed trees as required. and managed to also throw in a few little extras that were much appreciated.
All of them worked very steadily, cleaned up everything thoroughly and seemed to take a real interest in what they were doing. All my interactions with them were marked by courtesy, careful listening on their part, and a carrying out of what was agreed on for the estimate given. It was a real pleasure to have this company perform this work for me and I would recommend them to anyone.

Our front landscape was in desperate need of makeover landscaping. C&H Gardens has trimmed and removed many very large trees for me, over the last 6 years. It was an easy decision to choose Kent and C&H to do our landscaping project. Design was agreed upon and work began in mid-May 2020 and completed as designed in 3 weeks, on time and at cost projection.
The professional work crew and design elements that added great visual quality to the street view was more than we expected. Our family and friends agree the work and view was fantastic. We will have an easy choice on our next project for the back yard. C&H is our contractor. Thanks Kent Horner, job well done.

TOTAL DISASTER We hired Kent (C&H Gardens owner) to do our backyard makeover. We showed him pictures of garden ideas we would like to incorporate in our project. He wasn't very receptive (first red flag we ignored), but because he was available right away we gave him the job. He came up with a rough design and asked us to trust him.this is not my first BBQ he said.
What a mistake we made. the whole job was a total disaster. After a few days 3/4 of our backyard was covered with ugly, cheap mulch and a whole bunch of small, poor quality plants. Many of them were brown and looked like they were dying. His response was: they will come back. Eventually he replaced a few box woods and said if you want me to replace more I will have to charge extra.
Some other plants he simply planted in the wrong areas, for example roses in the shade, so they quickly started to suffer and we had to replant them. We were very specific about the color of the gravel we wanted, so it would match that which already existed on the property, but he brought a totally different color stone and then told us they are close enough. Kent turned out to be very unprofessional, was rude to me and my husband and extremely unpleasant.
His attitude in the end was: I did what you wanted. He has no sense of landscape design. All materials and plants were picked randomly and of poor quality. Be very careful and very specific if you decide to hire him. He's very overpriced for what he does. We wasted tens of thousand of dollars and ended up having to spend even more to make our garden livable again.

Kent and his crew did an AMAZING job converting my GIANT MESS of a dead backyard into an oasis! They went above and beyond to ensure everything was done to my satisfaction. I had a large laundry list of things that needed doing and they nailed it. They demo'd old overgrown bushes, got rid of years of weeds and mounds of dirt, transplanted some sago palms, replaced my old sprinklers with drip and connected the two backyard valves to my timer.
The artificial turf they installed is beautiful and they left my entire yard pressure washed and beautiful. I no longer frown when I look out my back windows. Kent was also at the job every day, checking in, which shows how much he cares about his clients (I've had contractors who only show up to collect payments.) I would highly recommend Kent and his crew to anyone who wants landscaping magic!

Kent and his C & H Landscaping crew did an awesome job on our back patio revamp. They knew exactly what they were doing and were happy to accommodate all of our priorities, ideas, and suggestions. Kent's professionalism and knowledge of landscaping design is also far and above the other landscaping company's I've dealt with in the past. We are extremely pleased with the outcome and feel that Kent went above and beyond to exceed our expectations. We have already gotten so many compliments on how great our new patio looks. I highly recommend their work and plan on hiring them for future projects.
