I like the overall design and my early experience with the team in terms of design, review, and flexibility with change orders was quite positive. They stayed on budget and the team was courteous and left the site neat and picked up each day. The execution process left a lot to be desired. I was promised if I signed a contract early in the year that the work would be finished before my first child's due date. The project went over by 4 months and getting the final punch list completed took many forms of communication and constant follow up. At multiple points during the project, we got rain and there was 1-2 feet of standing water that I had to request they come trench to divert away from the home's foundation. About 25% of the "hardy evergreen" plantings died (to be fair, it has been a super hot and dry year, but I wish I would have purchased from somewhere with a 1-year plant warranty for replacement). Within 3 months of completion, there were bare patches all over in the mulched areas. Last, numerous fence and deck boards significantly warped or were improperly nailed down. ONS would not come replace these even though the fence should be under warranty because "warping, twisting, or some movement as it dries/with age is normal". I have had other new fences and decks installed and have not seen this level of warping with boards coming un-nailed.

Old North State did the most awesome drainage job in my yard. Several people earlier had done substandard work to alleviate the drainage issues in my yard. They are the greatest at what they do. I could'nt be more happy with their work and their workers. If you need you job done right the first time, call these guys!

THIS IS THE LANDSCAPER YOU SHOULD HIRE! We have had others and there is no comparison. If you want the job done right the first time this is who to call. The initial quote was a bit high for us, but we narrowed the project a bit and made some changes to get costs down. It is worth every penny. We have spent so many hours trying to get other companies to get sprinkler systems to actually work or to redo poor workmanship. I regret not using ONS from the very start of our landscaping project.

I can not say enough positive things about this company. From our first experience with Whitney and Will and the rest of the crew our experience was Outstanding! We had a massive backyard project from landscaping to poured patio and stone work to electrical and plumbing, you name it, they did it. Quality of work and customer service including communication was second to none. Can't wait to find more projects for them to do.

We had a tremendous drainage problem on our property, which is on a fairly steep hill. Rain would cause running water down the gravel driveway we share with our neighbor, to the point where the ruts were deep enough to do damage to our vehicles, and her front walkway was routinely flooded. We also realized that getting from our driveway to our front door would be impossible if we were injured or in a wheelchair, because the driveway is 10 feet higher, with the only acsess a stone stairway. Old North State did a wonderful job solving both problems. The drainage has held up beautifully to the torrential rains we had this summer. We now have a covered front porch leading to a 90 foot long wooden walkway that curves through the trees, sloping gradually up to the driveway---a truly unique solution and a gorgeous carpentry job done by Alan and his crew. It not only solves the problem, but it really enhances the appearance of the house. Bill also solved parking problems, fixed the access to our well, and provided topsoil for our garden, among other things. Coming up with the plans for all this took a lot of brainstorming and communication, and he was very patient and helpful. I would definitely use Old North State in the future.
