Carey Ezell Landscape Design LLC

Carey Ezell transformed our long-neglected outdoor space into one of our favorite parts of our home. What I can only assume was the original 1950's patio had fallen into disrepair and was so uninviting we actually dreaded walking through it to get to our pool. It was not a place we enjoyed being. Carey did an excellent job really listening to our goals and completely updated the hardscaping with a new patio and decks that look like they were part of the original home's master plan, and will surely outlast us all. While maybe not her forte, our plans for an outdoor kitchen were well accommodated and excellently implemented, even with our superficial specifications. While admittedly an extravagance, with the modern trend of gathering in kitchens, it's really made it easy to enjoy our outdoor space with friends and family when dining al fresco. I'll defend my delay in posting this review by pointing out that I now know how well the plants have done over the course of an entire season. Carey's team had to plant during the Summer 2022 drought, but aside from a couple of bushes and a handful of small perennials, things wintered well, and sprouted up fine in the spring. Since then it's been a delight to see her vision really take root and mature. She definitely knows her plants and considered the ebb and flow of blooms and greenery throughout the year. Project-wise, we were fine with Carey's plan, approach, and communication throughout the project. Her original sub-contractor backed out early on for their own reasons, but she hardly skipped a beat given her connections in the area and had us on track in no time. I'll admit, Carey was not the first landscape architect we'd contacted. But you would be hard pressed to beat her understanding, communication, and respect for your budget. We're very happy with the results and plan to work with Carey again in the future to round out parts of the yard we did not touch as part of this project. She's really rejuvenated our yard; spending time outside is such a joy.

We have loved working with Carey on our project and would recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, professional landscape engagement. Our project was extensive, involving ground clearing, tree removal, retaining walls and gardens, outdoor lighting, driveway reconfiguration, irrigation, and of course plant selection and installation. She even helped us design a new entryway experience complete with a new front door. Carey transformed our home into something we are really proud of. The difference is unbelievable and with her help we were able to achieve a vision we didn't even think possible. Her creativity, service, and professionalism are unmatched and her team is absolutely 5-star.

Carey is a terrific landscape architect. She was able to ask the right questions and design a space that exceeded our expectations and was a pleasure to work with throughout the project. Our backyard has been transformed into an beautiful relaxing and functional space which we will enjoy for years to come.

The entire process of designing our backyard oasis was made simple because Carey listened to our ideas and brought them to life through detailed plans. She gave excellent advice, answered every question patiently and was very responsive. The contractors she works with were absolutely professional and did excellent work. The results are completely stunning! We are extremely happy with everything and highly recommend Carey!

Carey helped us create an entertaining patio with a custom fireplace and lovely garden surround. She and her team worked closely with us on overall design and selection of the right materials to seamlessly blend with a 1920s brick home. They accepted the challenge and exceeded our expectations in what I think were at least 5 attempts to match the fireplace bricks with something that was the right color and perfectly aged-look for our older New England home. There was a very careful selection of plants to compliment mature planting that we very much wanted to keep and incorporate with the overall look. In fact, one thing we weren't expecting, was how beautiful the plantings look in all seasons. Bonus! Carey was actively present thru the entire installation process, inspecting daily with a strong attention to detail, constant communication with the crew and us, to make sure things were progressing as planned. The crews were friendly and courteous to us and neighbors. They all arrived when expected and work the project to completion with no surprises. We just love our space and would jump at the chance to work with Carey again.

Carey is not only lovely to work with but we also trust her creative vision. She wove her concept into our landscape and stonework implementing a look that is both classic and unique. We had a clear idea of the project scope and Carey gave us the opportunity to work in phases which proved to be a great option. Carey's team is professional and in turn we have hired them for regular yard maintenance. The plan Carey created for us has completely transformed our space and we are forever grateful.

Carey was wonderful at redesigning our tired and overgrown yard. It feels like a whole new space and it has exceeded our expectations. Everyone who worked on the project was professional and friendly. Carey spent a lot of time implementing and supervising the project and her attention to detail was wonderful. Thank you!

We recently worked with Carey and her crew to design and build a small patio and beds surrounding it. Carey showed us pictures and worked closely with us on plans giving us her professional insight which was priceless. The finished product is lovely! The project went very smoothly from start to finish. Carey communicated a timeline that was met. Her crew that did the plantings took great care with not only how the plants were placed, but the process to make sure they would look as great months down the road as they did that first week. We would highly recommend Carey!!

Working with Carey Ezell and her team was fantastic. She came up with the plan for renovating our front yard and then did all the work (ordering plants, scheduling workers, overhauling our entire yard) to make it a reality. Carey was attentive to our questions and concerns and came back after the project was completed to make sure we were happy with the final look. We love it! The yard is just what we wanted and Carey brought it to fruition. Thanks, Carey!

Carey went so far above and beyond what we ever expected for our outdoor space! We were going to do some simple (aka boring) landscaping without much regard for our backyard. After some initial discussions with Carey, we hired her to do a "master" plan and from there we decided that our back yard should be our focus. We are so glad we did - we ended up with a beautiful patio, fire pit area, and spectacular landscaping. She truly transformed our backyard into a living space that we used daily throughout the summer and fall.

Carey thoughtfully designed our space - totally transforming our yard into another room of the house. The plants she picked are low-fuss, proven winners that look natural in our yard. During installation Carey was always the first person on the crew to the house and the last to leave. I have learned a ton working with her and I’m looking forward to more projects in the future.

We worked with Carey Ezell Landscape Design on an extensive renovation of our front entrance way and backyard that included a retaining wall, patios, a walkway and landscaping. Carey is extremely responsive and was fully devoted to completing the project with high quality service. She listened to what we were looking for in our outdoor space and produced a well-planned, thoughtful design with options for us to consider. Carey ensured each part of the project was completed to perfection and she exceeded our expectations on all areas. We are looking forward to working with her on the next phase of our project and would highly recommend her.
