Bill Friend & crew installed Designer Palm Trees for us along with landscaping rock! Very punctual and neat! We are very pleased with their workmanship! We will definitely give them a call should we need any additional work done!

Katy Swalwell on Friend Landscaping

At every stage of the process, Bill was responsive, accommodating, and wonderful to work with. He had great design ideas and creative solutions to stay within our budget while bringing our dream backyard to life. His team was extremely skilled, kind, proactive, detail-oriented, and thorough. They supplemented repurposed stone / transplanted plants with quality products including beautiful limestone at fair prices. We are outside so much more now thanks to their hard work and get so many compliments from neighbors and guests. We would hire them again in a heartbeat!

Bill did an excellent job on several projects for us at our new house. Extending a retaining wall, building a stone staircase and replacing a pool liner all were done with care and professionalism. I would highly recommend his company for your landscaping and pool needs.

Catherine Bailey on Friend Landscaping

Our new landscaping is fantastic! Bill provided excellent customer service throughout the entire process. He was flexible with our schedule, was clear in his advice and in explanation of the process, materials and cost. The job was completed earlier than expected and exceeded our expectations on every level. The quality of the completed project is excellent. We really appreciated that he reached out to us after the installation was complete to make sure we were completely satisfied. We will definitely use Bill for future landscaping projects.
