What a pleasure it was to work with Cory! He is incredibly creative, unbelievably knowledgeable, meticulous, personable, and an excellent communicator, with an unmatched work ethic and extraordinary vision. It’s rare to find someone with such passion, creativity, and business acumen, all while making the world a better place. The final transformation exceeded anything we could have imagined.
Highly recommended! Cory is very intelligent and will make your outdoor space look fantastic. He knows a lot about native plants and is very creative.
We have used Cory for 2 different projects in our yard. He is an enthusiastic caretaker of nature, he is knowledgeable about native planting and care. He was prompt, communicated clearly and did a wonderful job for us.
Overall great experience. Thoughtful design, good customer service, and speedy turnaround. Really happy with the results!
Needed native landscaping help which is a struggle to find. Cory came to my property with a WEALTH of knowledge. Advised me to what was native and invasive on my property. He then designed a native garden for me. Not only did he do that, he has periodically checked in on my progress since I chose to do all my own plantings. Highly recommend this young man to anyone interested in increasing biodiversity for our environment! He is passionate and excited about his work.
