Nature's Realm Landscaping, Design, Construction and Maintainance

The reviews here prompted me to check out Natures Realm. I called and spoke to Kevin about some work I needed done, and he asked me to fill out his online form. I did that and waited to hear from him, but I didn't so after 1 1/2 weeks I called and emailed him. He emailed me that my online form sort of fell through the cracks. He said he would call schedule a time to see me. I still didn't hear from him. I sent an email to see when he might be contacting me. He responded that he couldn't come out for another week because it was a very busy time. At this point , after 3 weeks of trying to schedule him to come out, I pretty much doubted I would hear from him in a week so I moved on. When customer service starts out this poorly I don't expect it to get any better. Maybe a $5000 job was too small. I have to say this isn't the only landscaping company like this. They seem to be looking for big jobs, and when they finish the big projects they call you 2 months later when business slows down. Guess it's just the nature of the business.

Pros: The projects on their website looked great.

Cons: Slow to respond.

This has been my first encounter with landscaping services, and I have to say it was made simple by Nature's Realm. I had attempted to contact another landscaper who did our communcal landscaping for the townhome property I live at, and never received a response. In contrast, Nature's Realm contacted me as soon as they could, took the time to survey my landscape before providing me a quote, were timely, and did a great job. They were also very reasonably priced, and didn't suggest more services than I needed or wanted. I plan to use them again for my semi-annual maintenance. No task seemed too small for Nature's Realm, which made me feel comfortable in asking them to assist me with maintenance and upkeep.

Nature' s Realm has transformed our small front yard from a boring barren space to a beautiful space. This was not an easy job. There were different challenges. The soil was bad, there was cable wiring running to a cable junction box and the front yard was part of a shared space. Kevin showed great patience in answering our questions. Great flexiblity was also demonstrated; changes were made to the original design plan based on our feedback. During the first meeting it was easy to detect the dedication and enthusiasim Kevin bought to his work. From an overall perspective Kevin is an outstanding landscaper.

Pros: Enthusiastic and Knowledgeable

Cons: None

Several months ago, I had a great house and a lousy yard and no idea what to do. I found Nature's Realm thru citysearch and gave them a call. Soon I had a detailed, beautiful landscape plan that reflected my wants and needs. They even worked in a raised bed for vegetables and herbs in addition to all the flowers and shrubs. I love watching the birds splash and play in their fabulous new bath and I spend more time outside now than I would have ever imagined. I am very happy with my new landscape and learned allot along the way. I highly recommend this company.

Pros: Multi talented.

Cons: Zip

After conducting an extensive remodel of my home in West University, the last project left was to take my landscape design prepared by a highly regarded landscape architect and bring the design to life. Having hire all kinds of trade people from my remodel project, I was reluctant to allow “just anyone” to installed this project. The architect of the landscape designed was expensive. I spoke with some of the landscape companies operating in the area, none made me feel comfortable. Luckily, a friend recommended Nature’s Realm. After speaking with owner Kevin a couple times, I felt comfortable that he was knowledge in his field and that he took pride in the worked that he did. As it turned out, I was right. After accepting a couple recommendations to enhance the landscape design, the 2-week project went smooth, and my plants are thriving. The design included over 1300 plants. I could not be more pleased with the outcome!

Pros: works for me...

Cons: none really

They created a gorgeous, beautiful retreat in my backyard that I look forward to everyday. This company is professional, friendly and most of all -- gifted. There are few places more beautiful than my new back yard.

Pros: A truly beautiful job

Cons: not a one

I had multiple bids for some guttering and drainage work and nobody beat their price. Some of those quotes were crazy by comparison. They did the guttering and my drainage system in 2 days! Very professional. We have no more yucky mud pits! These guys did a great job !

Pros: Price, Staff and Speed!

Cons: none!!!

Wow, talk about customer service! This was my first time hiring a landscape designer because I had always feared it was out of my price range. Not only were the rates very affordable but Nature's Realm was as friendly and as helpful as could be. I explained what my budget was and never felt pressured to continue adding and didn't have any hidden fees show up later. Any question I had was answered and they were extremely willing to make me feel like they wanted me as a customer! I couldn't be happier with the work and plan on recommending Nature's Realm to friend's of mine as well. You can't go wrong here and as mentioned before I couldn't be happier!

Pros: Affordable, friendly, professional

Cons: None I can think of, I'm serious!
