Plant Design Group — Local services in Wrightstown Township

I am happy to report that the Plant team graciously came back out to remedy many of our concerns. While we would have preferred attention to detail the first time around, we did appreciate their sincere effort to improve the project. Additionally, we received word that they intend on revisiting our property over the coming months to ensure positive results remain consistent. Although we're not thrilled with our experience, we are much happier now and do appreciate their professionalism and effort. We had high hopes for our front and backyard landscaping project, but ultimately were disappointed with the final result. Plant had fantastic reviews everywhere we searched. Despite their higher initial quote we decided to select them given their professionalism and the thoroughness with which they presented the planned overhaul. We found them responsive throughout our interactions leading up to and throughout the project, but we felt as though our desires were only selectively heard and that there was very little attention to detail in completing the work. Our two main priorities were an improved outdoor drainage solution and the clearing out of the extensive brush on our property. That led to a much longer conversation, and thus a higher quote, that included our top priorities as well as substantial improvement in the aesthetics of the entire outdoor space ie. newly mulched beds with an array of bushes and flowers and power-washing/re-grouting outdoor patio. Weather interrupted the project and in the end the result appeared rushed. With that said, we were happy with the brush clearing and the thoroughness of that portion of the project. They removed many bushes/small trees in helping us to better optimize our property. One issue we ran into was neglect for the main area where we were having drainage issues that really prompted us to seek the work in the first place. They improved drainage of several areas on the property but seemed to overlook the gradient issue at the core of the problem. To their credit, they apologized and did their best to remedy the specific area; although their solution seemed to be a simpler solution than what they originally said they would implement prior to the project beginning. Time will tell if the solution in fact works effectively. We also noticed that there was very little attention given to what types of plants we did and didn't want to be included. We stated a desire for color in some of the beds with interest in hydrangeas. We never received hydrangeas, despite a few reminders. In being respectful of our budget they did repurpose some of our existing plants, but curiously replanted what appear to be large dead plants near the entrance to our driveway. This, along with the many weeds that immediately grew in every flower bed within the first week of them leaving, certainly don't help curb appeal. We realized that we would have to maintain the beds, but didn't expect several plants to be dead and the property to be overrun by weeds within two weeks of spending $13k. Lastly, the cleanup was lazy. There are still several large plastic pipes that were ripped up from former drainage, as well as metal wire garden fence, sitting in our yard. Even though they had a power washer on site for our patio they neglected to clean the driveway, which was stained for weeks from the mulch. We were excited to have our property look beautiful and clean, but have unfortunately found that to not quite be the case. As they were finishing up the project we assumed that the lawn would be cut, weeded, and seeded but were told that we would need to speak separately with a lawn company to improve the health of the lawn. They did, however, seed several of the areas in which some of the clearing took place, but have not added seed in the weeks after when checking in on the sprinklers we are...

I cannot underscore the extraordinary experience with Plant Design Group. After meeting with several companies locally, I contacted Plant Design because I felt most just didn't quite understand the vision my husband and I had for our landscaping. As an avid fan of Carousel Gardens and the quality of their products, I was certain they would partner with a high caliber landscape design group as well. And indeed, did they!

My experience was 5 star from the beginning. I was contacted 24 hours after my initial request. The associate I spoke with listened to the objectives of our project and budget. She asked thoughtful, inquisitive questions and paired us with a designer who often worked with similarly sized projects.

Caleb was OUTSTANDING!!! He is a talented and knowledgeable designer who truly loves what he does. During our initial meeting, he listened to all of my ideas and immediately offered recommendations and a vision. He succinctly summarized what we spoke of and articulated our design ethos better than I was able to.

He kept us well informed throughout the process and clearly communicated the timeline and next steps. I knew exactly what to expect and when the work would be completed.

The design he proposed was perfect! Exactly what we had been aiming to achieve in our backyard - a quiet, serene place of solitude. He incorporated plants from our property into the design at my request and modified the varieties and made minor tweaks to the spacing of plants with no question, pushback or disagreement. Not the experience I've had with other companies. Caleb is truly focused on customer happiness!!

When installation occured, it was completed quickly, efficiently and with no mess or debris. How does THAT happen when dealing with dirt!? The team was delightful, kind and appreciative.

The results - breathtaking!! My husband and I kept taking breaks from our day to go in the yard and admire the work of the team.

Regarding COVID - the Plant protocol requires everyone to wear masks and maintain distance when outdoors. I was most impressed by the follow up sessions which occurred over Zoom. Caleb shared his screen, we fluidly moved through the designs AND he even had a pinterest board prepared with the plant varieties. It couldn't have been easier!

I could continue on and rave about the experience with Caleb and Plant Design Group. But, I think it would be better if you experienced it yourself. For those seeking a professional, accommodating, customer centric landscape design group - look no further. Plant Design...

My husband and I moved into our home about a year ago, and the front yard looked like it had been neglected for some time. Outdoor living is important to us, so we were looking for more than just cookie cutter curb appeal - we wanted something unique and inviting, visually interesting (textures, layers, colors), and a yard that would grow into our dream garden over the years. This was also a large investment for us (both mentally and financially), so we needed a company that instilled trust from the outset. On top of this, we wanted a team that would work with us collaboratively over the years as we create our dream home. Needless to say, this was a tall order. After researching companies in both PA and NJ, we felt that PLANT brought a fresh perspective to the landscaping industry in terms of both approach and client service - and this proved to be true. From the first meeting, we knew that Ed Graziano was our guy - he really LISTENED to us as we explained what we wanted (and importantly, what we DIDN'T want!). Keeping both our style and long-term goals in mind, Ed presented an incredibly imaginative yet practical design. We honestly did not know what to expect, and yet somehow, Ed managed to blow our expectations out of the water. We also worked with Javan, who was sensitive to our budget and presented us with options that allowed us to choose where we wanted to put our money now, and where we could expand down the road. The rest of the process, from preparation to execution to finalization, was a pleasure. To say that our front garden has been bringing us endless joy would be an understatement.

With all that said, a picture is worth a thousand words. Our before and after photos speak for themselves! We look forward to working with the PLANT team for years to come, and already cannot wait to see what they have in store for the rest...
