Excellent Landscaping Job. After reading many stellar review's of Kevin's work online, we decided to hire him to redo our entire front yard, as well as the yard on the north side of our house. This was a very large project and it took a little over four months to complete everything. Before the actual landsaping could be addressed, there were drainage and irrigation issues that needed to be addressed. First, the trim on our house was painted and new gutters were installed. The old front yard basically consisted of a semi-circle gravel driveway lined by a few pitiful beds of overgrown and dead plants. Almost everything in the old yard was removed, along with the second concrete driveway entrance. Pavers were used to install a new walkway from the street to the front porch and a new driveway. The irrigation system was updated and expanded. A wrought iron fence, gate, and electronic driveway gate were installed in front and a beautiful arbor with cedar fence were built on the south side of the yard. Beds of plants were arranged around two large circular areas of Bermuda grass. Kevin accompanied us to a local nursery to show us all the plant options that were available for our yard. We told him what we liked and he designed the beds around our preferences. We have tons of gardenias, azaleas, camellias, and hydrangeas, among many other beautiful plants. Gravel walkways were also included in the yard design. The narrow north side yard is composed of a gravel path leading to the back yard. The path is lined on both sides with many plants and gives an overall green and lush effect. A water fountain was installed against the fence on that side and can be seen through our dining room windows. Overall, the yard is really beautiful and we could not be more pleased with the way it turned out. Passersby are constantly stopping to compliment the yard and ask who did the work. Kevin is very knowledgeable and he still checks in with me to see how all the plants are doing and ask if we are having any problems. Although we had a few minor ups and downs during the whole lengthy process, I would highly recommend Kevin. He is very honest and works hard to ensure that your expectations are met or exceeded. If you can dream it, he can make it happen for you!…
Couldn't be happier!. I'm one of the jealous neighbors that you will read about in previous reviews. After seeing how this crew was able to turn our neighbors dirt pile into what they did, I eventually gave in and asked who did their work. I was told how helpful Kevin would be, but I decided to see for myself. After we set up a date and time for him to come out he was able to let us know a wide variety of options of what we could do with our back yard. We wanted it to be quite lavish but still realistic and Kevin was able to give us a realistic budget and estimate on when we could expect the work to be done. He definitely follows the underpromise, overdeliver strategy because everything was even better than we had hoped for and done sooner than expected. Mind you, this wasn't an overnight job, good work takes time, but considering the reputation of many of the landscapers around here, I was blown away at how efficient and thorough his team was with their and our time. My only regret was waiting this long…
Even Better Than Advertised. After speaking with several well-known companies in the area we felt Natures Realm not only had the best plan of what to do with our ideas but also had clearest vision of what we were trying to accomplish in our backyard. Their design was fabulous and we absolutely love our backyard now. Our friends and neighbors are already impressed and talking about copying parts of our yard to their very own. Kevin was honest and up front about costs and scheduling of the work and the time frame of completion and he and his team definitely delivered in all aspects, and they made sure we understood and loved every detail when they were finished, we couldn't be happier . At the risk of repeating myself I'll just say one last time that we definitely chose the right company for our yard.…
Made our vision come true.
We had a vision of a patio with a seat and natural gas fire-pit all made from natural stone. Kevin and his team at Nature's Realm built it and it came out even better then we had imagined. Kevin is
a great guy to work with. There is no hard sale, he's upfront with the costs, offers his expert opinion and most of all makes sure the customer is completely happy. Caesar, his stone mason does extraordinary work with natural stone and is meticulous about cleaning up every day and especially at the end of the job.
We could not be happier with the work and the finished product and would not hesitate to use his services again.…
As Good As It Gets. The only times I seem to write reviews are when it's negative, but figuring we found Nature's Realm on citysearch as well I decided to follow up. We weren't exactly sure if our "vision" was a reality with the space we had. We call and set up a time for Kevin to come out and look around. We told him what we wanted, what we were hoping to spend and he let us know upfront what was and wasn't a reality with our yard and budget, no misleading us upfront and then coming back with a higher bill later. Kevin helped us go through a lot of different options however and let us ultimately decide what direction we wanted to go without pressuring is to go one way or another. His ideas were surprisingly fresh and the plan and our new yard and garden area is just absolutely gorgeous. Good work takes time, so it wasn't done over night, but he gave us a realistic time frame up front and we were okay with that. There's just something really refreshing about not getting yanked around with empty promises and to be able to just get some no BS honesty when it comes to things like this. Nature's Realm is a company that runs off integrity instead of chasing as many projects as possible. It was Kevin and his crew we saw working in our yard, so he's not just some figure head who comes in and then sends someone out later. You don't find many companies like this nowadays and I think you should have them come out and talk to you about your yard if nothing else, if you're anything like we were you're going to get excited in no time. We'll be calling back (for future jobs) for sure!…
