About a year ago I began my online search to figure out a reliable local company for my yard needs. I’m a novice when it comes to landscaping etc, so I wanted a reputable company and not some fly by night outfit. My yard needs were as follows:

  1. Drainage and standing water issues.
  2. Irrigation adjustment
  3. Replace sod and replenish dead grass drought of 2011
  4. Beautify my existing landscaping, which was on the horing side. This was to include my pool area.

So I came across Woodlands Landscaping and read great reviews. Looked at other companies which were not as impressive. Called WL, and set up a consult with Sara Manore. She met us at our house on time, we walked around and talked about what we wanted. We were vague because we weren’t really sure what was possible.

She understood our needs and came up with an estimate, which gave us detailed breakdown of all work to be done, down to how many plants in each flower bed! She and her staff answered all our questions as they came up. The work started a month later and took some time. Pretty much our entire yard was redone, for a 11K sq ft lot size. By no means did it take too long, there were just many things to do. The crew was courteous and knowledgeable and on time. Hardworking crew!

First thing done was the drainage which needed a few revisions. One of the best reasons for choosing WL is that they guarantee their work for 6 months. My yard did require some drainage adjustments, which are no small deal. But these adjustments were done at no additional charge within the warranty window. The drainage was mostly solved on the first go round, but I have a difficult yard and ended up with some problem areas with standing water. These were all fixed, well after the initial work was completed. The drainage is now 100% better.

Sprinkler adjustment was undertaken and works great now.

The sod was next and looks great. Any failures have been replaced by the crew.

The landscaping was last. One word: AMAZING! It’s hard to believe that Sara can come up with such an aesthetically pleasing work of outdoor art after receiving only vague ideas from us.

I also decided to use WL as my yard maintenance and irrigation providers. Very happy with the service. They know my yard since they recreated it and take great care of it.

Overall, I highly recommend Woodlands Landscaping and Pegasus Irrigation Systems.

Thank you Sara,
