I no longer have beautiful flowers and shrubs to photograph because everything got decimated in the heat last summer. We're thinking of buckling down and hiring a landscaper, but we've been burned twice... we overpaid one who ended up costing us an extra $2,800 septic repair, and the other did a craptacular job while destroying part of our fence.

So, this time, I thought I'd ask for personal recommendations. If you've hired a landscaping company that has done a good job at a reasonable price, who did you use?

We're looking to install an irrigation system (so that everything won't keep dying every summer) and possibly some hardscaping (pavers).

Thanks in advance for any recommendations... once we're finished, I'll post before and after photos... the "before" right now is too scary to post!

Thanks so much! Before I posted, I should've had the brains to do a search first (slapping my own wrist) or I'd've found about 900 threads asking the same question. So far I've compiled a short list from various threads past threads. I've pasted them here for anyone else hunting for a landscaper. If anyone has used any of these and they have turned out to do shoddy work or are liars, please PM me to let me know! THANKS!

Maybe it was just an honest oversight, happens. I know when I worked with my dad's company, we would miss a call on occasion. It was always when we were super busy.

Oh believe me I support them and I know that stuff happens, in fact I pm'ed the poster with a shocked reaction. It does happen. That's how good they are cause I could not believe the referral was not handled in their normal professional manner.

Without question, Turf King. They had a great price and did outstanding work on my Mom's yard. Her's wasn't bushes/plants, rather it was ripping up her existing yard, installing a new dogwood tree and putting down new sod. Her yard looks amazing. Kevin was great to work with....

Had great service with All Seasons Landscape. They were very resonable and did an awsome job. Their number is 678 363-3990 and we had Ashley do our work.

We've used Hybrid Landscapes for years. I've recommended them to about 30 people - everyone has been pleased.
