We’re really happy with the final product! Once the crew got started, the entire job—demo, pouring, and sealing—was completed in just two days. The team was knowledgeable, efficient, and cleaned up thoroughly afterward. However, I'm giving 4 stars due to communication issues. The foreman and the head designer arrived earlier than our agreed-upon time and entered our backyard without prior notice or permission. This was a significant concern, both from a safety perspective (we have dogs that could have been in the yard) and in terms of respecting our property and boundaries. Additionally, I sent a $4,000 deposit by mail and never received confirmation that it was received. A simple heads-up—like “We got your check and will update you as we get closer to your spot in the queue”—would have made a big difference. Overall, if communication had been better, this would have been a 5-star experience.
After leasing a property in the Virginia Beach area, we researched for a quality landscaping company to makeover our backyard. A quick form on Dr Dan’s website, then a phone call discussion, and an onsite visit, we wer signing a contract to complete the project as soon as possible. Dr Dan’s team consisting of Weston, Bryce, and Michael spent three days to remove all of the existing landscaping and install new gravel beds and sod. Our backyard looks like the yard for a model home. Highly recommend Dr Dan’s Landscaping for any project.
We reached out to Dr. Dan’s to get an estimate on our backyard patio project. Throughout the whole project, Lorraine, Dr. Dan, and their team helped adjust our ideas with budget in mind. They gave great suggestions for improvement, and were timely in all communication. They also completed the project quickly and just in time for summer! We could not be happier with the results of our stamped concrete patio, as well as the drainage systems and utility areas that were created, and we are incredibly happy to have worked with such a professional team! Our once empty backyard is now coming to life!
Dr. Dan’s took time to help me figure out exactly what I wanted and needed and then finished the project quickly. Before, my yard was ugly and hard to keep clean and I never used it. Now I have additional living space and it’s easy to manage. I have an outdoor entertainment area and they even installed 8 foot posts to hang cafe lights. They created a large double gate to allow me to enjoy the view of the pond beyond the fence. The fence will be stained and solar lights installed along the fence and on top of the cafe light posts. The workers were kind and fast. I highly recommend Dr. Dan’s!
Dr Dan and his team are helping us with a large multi-phase landscaping project. Dr Dan helped us create our vision when we first met, and we could immediately tell his vast experience would leave us in good hands (which is great because we are control freaks). They began the first phase, construction of a 48 ft long tiered garden (before and after pics attached), around the start of January and completed it extremely quickly by the end of the month. The craftsmanship so far has been excellent and the team has been very professional. Dr Dan, the founder, makes visits to inspect the construction quality and progress and his manager, Dena, is very communicative and helpful with any questions and concerns. Dr Dan always arrives with bags of goodies, and he has gone above and beyond what was expected of the project so far. We are so happy to have used a local company and are beyond excited to continue with the rest of the phases. We will likely continue to use them for all of our future landscaping needs for years to come. You can't find quality companies like this easily and for such reasonable prices. Highly Recommend
