AR Design N Landscaping Firm Inc

Do not hire this company for your landscaping needs. He starts out professional, confident, and communicative. He listens to your needs and wants and designs you the yard of your dreams, and then leaves you with wreckage. He promised drawings of plans but never delivered anything in detail, just a scribble on a ripped out spiral notebook. Then the work begins. He ends up changing every job you agreed on and makes everything smaller. Then you have to demand a refund because you did not get what you paid for. He installs subpar/ poor walls, and when you point out the issues, he stops communicating. He does everything to avoid conversation face to face and hangs up during phone calls. He hit our house with his heavy equipment and never offered to pay for the repairs. Just put it back up and tried to act like it did not happen. He subcontracted a group of people to build us a pergola and the roof fell apart 2 days in. We had to reconstruct it with our own money. The walls have gaps, are built with broken bricks, and are sinking/ sagging. The patio he built is sinking and breaking off around the edges. He poorly constructed rock stairs that wobble when walked on. He was hired to level/ develop our side yard, while he reduced the slope, he did not smooth out the dirt or pack the dirt behind the walls. The sod behind the walls is sinking and is to the level that worries us to even walk back there. Our side yard sod is wavy, full of dips and trenches that you can roll an ankle in. The side that was eroding, was not fixed and remains if not a worse drop than before he started. He failed to build the one wall we actually needed and shortened it (without consent) to 2ft instead of the 8-10 needed and contracted. He changed everything without consent and kept rewriting the contract. He even demanded payment outside the agreed-upon pay schedule because he needed to pay his workers. He did not demand extra money, just pay as he went versus the half at the beginning and the rest at the end, per his contract. He drove trucks and equipment in the front yard and stated it would be repaired. He threw a dead piece of sod over the worst tire track (so you can injure your ankle in the hole beneath and left the others. I have pictures for anyone who wants them. Update: we spoke with an attorney and found that this is a fake business. He is not a contractor, general, or landscape designer. He is not a legal LLC or an INC with the state of NC. This means he is not insured or bonded as he claims. It is all lies and a huge scam! If you hire him and he does a poor job, it is coming out of your pocket, because he is untouchable. We now have to spend another $20,000 to repair his work and we cannot get a dime back of what he took from us. He has done this to several others in our area. People on Nextdoor have reported he ruined their yard job, and properties, and then he ghosts them. DONT HIRE!!

Excellent work at a reasonable price! He and his team were professional, prompt and courteous and I cannot be more pleased with the outcome of my landscaping project.

Very courteous, and professional,reasonable price,and did a great job. We will definitely use them again in the future.

I have used him multiple times and he is always a rock star! He is my go to guy for any kind of landscaping and residual maintenance. He has a lot of passion for his work and does it well at a fair and reasonable price. I would recommend him to anyone.
