When we bought our house, we inherited a mess: a muddy, lumpy lot, a failing retaining wall, a cracking driveway, unappealing bushes, and a large dying tree. Then, John Spivey showed up.

Gardens of the Carolina delivered a holistic landscape plan that addressed our (many) wants and needs. We had somewhat unusual requests like a basketball court, exclusively using native plants, and specific fence requirements that Gardens of the Carolinas took in stride. We aligned on a two part phased delivery approach. Once the work started, we were very impressed with the crew’s diverse skills and attention to detail. We are thrilled with our backyard oasis and look forward to enjoying it for years to come.

The team listened to our concerns and provided an extensi... read more
