TESTIMONIALS
“The stonework is stunning; everything really fits the house, our location, and our lifestyle. Tricia was a real joy to work with and the site crew did an amazing job in less than ideal conditions”
DM, Richmond
“I have depended on Horsford and Distinctive Landscaping for forty years. It is always the same – high quality plants and trees, excellent work, and delightful people.”
HV Burlington
“Thorough, prompt, flexible, friendly, professional grade service”
RD, Burlington
“We just wanted to thank you for one of the most pleasurable business experiences we have ever had. Starting with Tricia’s expertise, and attention to detail, and culminating with a trio of delightful, and professional men to carry out the work, this has been very enjoyable, and the results are terrific. We love our new gardens. So many times things start out with the best intentions, and turn out very differently. You all met or exceeded our expectations in every aspect.”
MS, Burlington
“Thanks so much for helping us through the landscaping process. Your calm demeanor and design expertise were invaluable. Sarah and Dave were incredible! The finished project is wonderful and everything was cleaned up and left in great order. We love the final results and hope to work with DL again in the years ahead.”
KD, Charlotte
“I’ve been meaning to thank you for the beautiful work you & Distinctive did on our front patio. There are very few companies we would feel comfortable to do the work that you did on the front part of our house without us being there.
Thanks again.”
MV, Charlotte
“Thanks so much for your very welcome and informative note. John and I will look forward to your arrival on site in early June, but understand that that date is not fixed in stone. You guys are worth waiting for no matter what! Best wishes, Polly”
