Landscape Architects and Garden Designers in Bumpass, VA

“I used Outdoor Lifestyles Landscape LLC to install a brick paver patio, as well as replace my old deck boards with Trex composite material. They did a fabulous job and I highly recommend dealing with Bill Siewert. You can tell he's been in the industry for a long time and he really knows the business. We recently had a severe storm with damaging winds and I had a tree fall against my house and into my yard. Upon falling, it destroyed several landscape features in my yard and I again called Outdoor Lifestyle Landscapes. Bill Siewert returned my phone call within 20 minutes, scheduled a time to assess the damage the very next day and provided a very detailed and comprehensive estimate within an hour. The repair installation was scheduled within a reasonable time frame and the crew was courteous and respectful of my property. They cleaned up after themselves better than any other contractor I've had to date. I'd highly recommend their service!”

“The Rock Creek Innovations team was fastidious and professional from the initial planning meeting to the final shovel of mulch. They turned an unleveled, unkempt yard into a gorgeous courtyard surrounded by native plants and shrubs. In addition to creating a breathtaking landscape for our renovated Museum District home, they designed and installed an underground storm water basin to capture the water from our house, providing a self watering system for grass atop the basin. Rock Creek selected a stunning stone for the walkway and worked tirelessly to ensure that the walkway was set at the proper slope for run off. The work crews were professional; polite, well groomed and knowledgable about the project. Phase 1 of our project took about three weeks to complete and I was pleasantly surprised that they cleaned up the site daily, always leaving the area as neat as possible. They showed up when they said they would, did what they promised at the cost that they predicted. We would highly recommend Rock Creek Innovations for any landscape or hardscape project.”

“I had Oates Landscape Architecture upgrade and redesign my yard recently. Tony Oates planned, hired the contractor, and supervised the work. Tony even did some of the trimming himself. I was completely pleased with the results, and I would highly recommend OLA to do anyone's yard.”

“My husband and I had a very clear idea of our end goal. To create a playing area, take out the hill, keeping the balls on the playing area, and add to our existing gardens. We hired Mike Hart, his workers had a lot of skill and knowledge and a great work ethic. Together we created a new playing area and garden spot. We are very pleased with how our ideas where translated and executed.”

“Karen is a creative professional who literally transformed our yard. We couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome. We were especially impressed with her knowledge, creativity, and thoughtful planning. She was always available for (many) follow up questions, which she answered quickly and thoroughly. And, she is an absolute pleasure to work with. I have recommended her to many friends and family members.”

“A city utility project destroyed a large portion of our existing landscaping; located on a very steep slope along our entire eastern property line. We faced a massive landscaping project which needed to address not only asthetics, but also creative design to limit erosion. Fortunately, Oak Valley had been recommended by friends, and we called Bruce. Our expectations were high, but Oak Valley exceeded them in every respect. Bruce not only drafted a thoughtful and detailed plan, he really listened to us - the design and hardscape/plants we preferred, our ability (limited) as gardeners to care for the project over time, and how we use the space. He also took the time to look at our neighbors' landscaping to be sure ours would fit in - and both neighbors and strangers stop by to say how beautiful it looks. His team was amazing; they were efficient, skilled, very pleasant to work with - and left the site as clean and organized as possible at the end of every day. We had to start the project in the spring on an emergency basis; we couldn't wait for fall planting. There have been torrential downpours and a scorching summer since completion, but the slope holds firm and the landscaping is beautiful. There have been a few plant casualties, but Bruce advised at the outset that we would do a checkup in the fall to update as needed. In the interim, he has patiently and promptly answered every "How do we take care of....?" question, and has stopped by several times to check on the project. Oak Valley turned a mud pit into a unique and beautiful garden, and sudden stress into a very enjoyable experience. Like our friends, we recommend Oak Valley highly.”

“Fern Hill Landscaping has been wonderful to work with! My husband and I are not much for gardening, but have about an acre of beautifully wooded land on a corner lot in a neighborhood near the James River. We needed something eye-catching yet low maintenance for our front yard, a design that would do well in shade and fit well in the neighborhood. The owner of Fern Hill took all of our concerns into consideration, guided us well in selecting plants, stones and pavers, and educated us on maintenance. We are now in phase 2 of the project, building on what the company completed last year, and will continue to work with them for the remainder of our landscaping projects! I highly recommend this company.”
