We are a family owned, residential design/build landscaping firm that has been serving the triangle since 1981.
"Our backyard had a large uphill slope, rendering most of it unusable. Additionally, there were drainage problems and a lack of privacy. All of these prevented us from enjoying our yard. Gardens of the Carolinas was the most responsive when we initiated initial inquiries, which continued throughout our project. John and his team were fantastic to work with for our backyard project. The team listened to our concerns and provided an extensive long-term vision for rectifying them and making them an area we’d enjoy moving forward. Based on our immediate needs, we decided to take a phased approach by adding a timber retention wall, a stone wall with lighting, and privacy trees. They also tapped into our existing drainage solution and made it more efficient. I view this as providing us with a canvas for future projects. We are very pleased with their work and will be a repeat customer for future phases of their initial plan. To summarize our experience with Gardens of the Carolinas: Patience: We made multiple edits to find a solution within budget. John and the team always understood and respected our concerns, ensuring we were comfortable with the decisions. Thoroughness: I was provided multiple options and pros/cons for every question. This reiterated their experience and gave me confidence that we were making a sound investment. Seamless: their team handled everything for us, including permitting, assistance with HOA, and more, in addition to the work completed. Professionalism: The crew performing the work respected concerns around noise and ensured a clean and tidy work environment. When the project was completed, they ensured the streets, sidewalks, and backyard were all in a great place, demonstrating their unwavering dedication to customer service."

"I’ve used L&O for lawn service for several years and have had a great experience with them. So I am baffled as to why their bush group has been such a nightmare to deal with. I wanted the hedges to the left and right side of my house trimmed back. I should have realized something was wrong when I had to email and call several times to get service, found out that the person who came to my house and gave me the quote had quit the company, and was told “someone will come by in a couple of weeks.” The crew showed up when I wasn’t there and mangled one set of the hedges (nice rounded hedge cut into a lopsided box, and not cut back off the grass as requested), and the other hedge had only a small overhanging section cut back when I wanted the entire hedge cut back 1-2 feet. In order to meet their $500 minimum charge, I also had them put down pine needles in beds, and that was done sloppily with pine needles spilled over the stone trim and into the lawn. I called Joe, apparently the head of the crew, and said that the work was not done as I had explained to guy who gave me the quote. I could tell that my original instructions for what I wanted were not being communicated to the crew and asked him to come to the house so I could show him what I wanted and he could then tell the crew. He refused and gave me the same line, “someone will come by in a couple of weeks to fix it.” Well, they came by alright. Instead of correcting their work, they trimmed the hedges at the front and back of my house! The front hedges didn’t need it, and they killed a nest of baby birds in the rear hedge that my family was keeping track of and observing from our screened-in porch. I texted Joe and said I that was the last straw, and all of this would have been avoided he had simply come out and let me show him what needed to be done. Because the work I wanted was not done, and their crew was obviously so incompetent that I didn’t want them in my yard again, I refused to pay the $550 fee and told him if that’s a problem then have the owner contact me and I’ll explain what a hassle it has been to deal with them. Joe replied that he would take $50 off the charges, but L&O considered the work completed! So pay up. They’ve been dunning me since, but I will gladly see them in small claims court before I give them a cent for this nonsense. If for some reason you decide to hire them for bush work, I would insist on a specific time and day when you’ll be home, so you can explain to the crew what you want done and inspect their work right when they finish."

"I hired Miguel to build a patio in my backyard, and it turned out to be one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made. We agreed on a 30x14 paver design for $5,700, including all labor and materials. However, Miguel showed up with only 40 pavers anyone with common sense knows that’s nowhere near enough for a space that size. Because of his poor planning (or intentional deceit), I had to pay for an additional 40 pavers and agree to a last-minute change in design just to get the job done. In total, I ended up paying over $7,900 more than $2,000 over our original agreement and I still didn’t get the design we agreed upon. He also purchased rocks in colors we never discussed, which clashed with everything and forced me to spend even more money. His so called retainer wall was so poorly constructed that I had to hire a second contractor to fix it, costing me an additional $2,000. The final product? Mismatched, two toned pavers, rushed work, and shoddy craftsmanship. On top of that, Miguel had the audacity to charge me extra because his workers had to put in more hours all due to his own lack of preparation and failure to follow our agreement. His lack of professionalism, accountability, and honesty is appalling. I wouldn’t trust this man to build a sandcastle. What I’ve learned from this mess: never pay a contractor without getting an itemized list, double check the materials yourself, and don’t assume people will be honest just because they seem nice. If I had the time and energy, I’d take him to court. But truthfully, I believe karma will handle it because there’s no way good will come to someone who operates this deceitfully. Save yourself the money and stress — do not hire Miguel"

"On a very hot day Bill and his team worked quickly and professionally to remove the old concrete and pour the new. They did a good job. One form on the concrete stairs has yet to be removed. That is scheduled for the weekend. Cleanup was OK, but not perfect, which is the reason for 4 not 5 stars. I will have to remove small pieces of concrete, wood from forms, and other stuff from my front lawn before I can mow again."

To remove concrete, professionals break it up using a sledgehammer, jackhammer, or heavy machinery, then haul it away—often using a dump truck. Recycling the concrete is a responsible option to consider. Unless you're an experienced DIYer with the right equipment, it's best to hire a concrete contractor to handle the job safely and efficiently.
Whether you need a permit to remove concrete depends on your local regulations. In many areas, you won't need a permit for residential concrete removal as long as you're not altering your home's structure. However, some localities require permits for demolition projects, especially if they're extensive. It's best to check with your local building department to be sure.
With the right equipment and an experienced professional, concrete demolition can often be completed in one day. Factors like the thickness and strength of the concrete affect the timeframe, but a qualified concrete removal contractor will work efficiently to break up the concrete and haul away the debris while ensuring surrounding structures remain safe.
To estimate your concrete removal costs, start by measuring the length and width of the concrete area to calculate the square footage. Then, multiply that number by $2 to $6 per square foot for slabs up to six inches thick. For thicker slabs, you may need to double the cost per square foot. Don't forget to check if disposal fees—around $50 to $100 per ton—are included in your contractor's quote to get a complete estimate.
