Relax knowing your landscape design and management is in good hands. Our team provides expert guidance so you feel confident at every step.

Baxter Gardens completely transformed our backyard with a 12-foot-high retaining wall that extends it by 25 feet. They also designed and installed a custom fountain, thoughtfully-placed LED lights, an irrigation system, and a beautiful woodlands garden that took advantage of native trees and shrubs while interspersing hardy exotic species that will survive the winter. They always found a good and fair solution for any challenges that arose.

My landscape designer was excellent. He followed up to my questions quickly, remained open to my ideas, and made adjustments before the work started. The crew was also excellent and very professional. They worked hard and produced a great final product that was like I had in mind the whole time. I would definitely rehire them again.

We needed to update the landscaping in front of our home and add shade, privacy, and beauty to our patio area. We were extremely pleased with Baxter Gardens from beginning to finish. Our landscape designer did an incredible job listening to our desires and even put together a no-cost design. He was extremely easy to work with when we made several little tweaks. The job is complete and looks beautiful.

Baxter Gardens just completed their third project for us and on each occasion we have been very pleasedThey put in a wonderfully designed retaining wall for the landscape in our front yard and a patio in our backyard. Our designer was a great communicator, creative, and thorough. He provided awesome ideas for the two projects and gave us great options from which to choose, both designed to address the unique challenges in our yard and accomplish our goals for the space. Both projects turned out beautiful. Our neighbors even stop by to complement the work.

Our designer created exactly what I was looking for. The completed project far exceeded my expectations, to the point that I have to stop and admire it every time I leave the house or come back. Even though it was a smaller project, our designer made me feel like I mattered as a customer. Additionally, the installation team was terrific. It was clear that everyone involved had perfected their craft.

Chris, is very creative. He took our idea and turned into something special, including a beautiful natural stone pathway from the front to the back of our house with all the landscaping around it. They also completely renovated our paver path and steps in the front of our home. Finally, he added upgraded lighting in front and back. His landscaping team are experienced and they do great work. It’s not inexpensive but you get what you pay for….top quality work that you will always be happy with.
