  We want to thank Dan and Mike for providing us with a new "look" backyard. With all of the mud and bumpy ground, we thought our yard would never recover. But Dan assured us his crew could get in there and turn it around. Dan made a sketch of a patio and two walkways and presented it to my wife and I. He showed us samples and allowed us to look through his extensive portfolio. He had lots of choices and budgets to offer us and fit our needs. He also worked with my wife on the selection of plants and shrubs. The outcome was beautiful and the crew was always on time. I will be calling you in the spring for more work.

  Frank and I want to express how pleased we are with our backyard, created by your company. It was done in a timely manner, crew showing up as scheduled, working in 90 degree heat, and always polite. We got what we wanted; a low maintenance beautiful yard. Even after the job was completed, Dan and Mike came back to check out the yard to address any problems we might have. We highly recommend this company and would be happy to talk to any of Dr. Dan's future customers.

My husband and I would like to thank you for all of your hard work. Your crew was very informative and answered all of my questions. It was a nice change to see a fresh landscape. The plants you picked out were perfect and the height was just right. Mike picked out the gray pavers and put them around all of the flower beds. The free water feature in the front yard is fabulous and just what we were looking for. I really like all of the new fencing that Mike and his crew put up. I can honestly say: I will use Dr. Dan's for my next project.

Jackie and I want to thank you and your crew for the unbelievable improvements that you have made to our home. I'm sure that you can remember the sad state of our property when you came to us; another company had made a complete wreck of our yard and the city inspectors were breathing down our necks to fix the damages. You not only fixed the problems, but you left us with a yard that is a showpiece.

We especially appreciate your expertise in plant selection and placement. We know that we were sometimes difficult to work with, as we were kind of picky about the over-all color scheme and sometimes requested plants that were impractical or unavailable. You led us down the best path and the final results are fantastic.

I especially want to thank you for the way that you and the site manager, Mike, worked so hard to save an old relic of a rose bush. It had been on the property for many years and I was afraid that it would be lost during the new landscaping project. Mike not only saved it, but also moved it to a better section of the yard where it will be enjoyed for years to come.

After dealing with a far less qualified company before meeting you, it was refreshing to finally work with true professionals who know what they were doing and who know how to leave the customer very satisfied.

You did a wonderful job with my yard. I can step out of my house with pride, instead of embarrassment at the eyesore it once was. Even the kids feel the same way. We've had a few gatherings in the backyard with their friends and they all loved it. We could not have done this before. The job was handled in a very professional manner and in a family fashion. It has always been my dream to have a nice flower bed area. Again, my heartfelt thanks for all of your hard work for me.

    This letter is in appreciation of the excellent work Dr. Dan's Landscaping has done for us. Dr. Dan and his staff were very professional, respectful and considerate of our wishes. Our very sad, neglected flowerbeds were transformed into the most amazing display and virtually maintenance free. The stone work and plant selections are perfect, exactly what we requested, and the unexpected rock formation is just beautiful. We can't begin to express how extremely pleased we are with the results. We have recommended Dr. Dan's service to our friends and neighbors and have every confidence that they will be just as happy with Dr. Dan and his staff as we are. Thank you again for a fantastic job.

Thanks for the great job you and your crew did in landscaping our front yard several weeks ago. It immediately became clear to us that you are an artist as well as a landscaper; the proof being in your careful selection and positioning of the plants which you placed in our plot.

We've received a number of compliments from neighbors and family since the "look" of our house has been changed, as well as smiling stares from drivers passing by on Timberlake Drive.

I was also impressed by the difficulty of the preparation work which went into this job, as the areas tilled and planted contained about 25 years worth of hard packed dirt, original building materials, and oak tree roots. It wasn't a job I could do myself, nor would I have even attempted it when I was younger. Your gang did the work routinely, and I was quite satisfied to be an observer!

We've been watering the plants religiously, and thus far all looks well. I may ask you a few more questions as the colder months coming on, as to how to best insure their survival through the winter.

You will recall wanting to remove a number of boxwoods which are healthy, but which hide one side of your landscaping from street view. I'm thinking about it. Not yet, not yet. Thanks again and I will be in touch.

  Dr. Dan's landscaping team was extremely courteous to my wife and myself through out the project. They cleaned up when they were finished and made sure that we were not just satisfied with the work that was done, but extremely satisfied with the results of the project. Dan and his foreman, Mike, stopped by the house several times after the project was completed to ensure that all work was accomplished to our satisfaction. This extra effort alone says a lot about the integrity of Dan and his crew. We have already recommended Dr. Dan's service to our neighbors. We have every confidence that they will be just as pleased with the work and the crew as we were.

  We are very pleased with our landscaping. Our yard looks so much better. Everyone in the neighborhood comments on how wonderful our yard looks. Your work crew was very professional, helpful, and timely.

Mike was very informative, and very detailed. I am very, very impressed with the way Mike trimmed the three front trees. The trees gives off a majestic look. Each time I walk in the yard it looks as if the trees are praising the Lord!

Mike exceeded my expectations and truly aims to please the customer. I recall wanting very much, a solar lighting system installed, but Mike wasn't sure of how to install this new type of wired solar lighting system and in addition he was pressed for time. Mike was determined to fulfill my deep desire to have this lighting system enhance the landscaping, so he read the directions and patiently figured it out, and installed them perfectly ... and did not charge me! NOW, THATS WHAT I CALL GOING BEYOND AND EXCEEDING CUSTOMER SATISFACTION! I love the way he installed the lighting it really enhances the landscaping.

We are very very happy with our yard! We are in the yard more now. Your team did a marvelous job! Thanks for the beautiful pictures. . . doesn't look like the same yard!

Thank you for the replacement plant. I really love it! Will call you for our next job!

Your crew was in my neighborhood this week in King's Grant Landing. I saw what a good job they were doing and I asked Mike to give me an estimate for my yard. I was amazed that he was able to start right then. Not only did they do a great job, but also they were courteous and the "price was right!" I will certainly use your company for future projects.

The landscaping job that Dr. Dan's Landscaping and Architectural Design did on our flower beds in the front of our house is a pleasure to look at. I had tried for years to make the front of the house the best on the block, but never could do it. Our neighbors have come over to compliment how great they look. Our flowerbeds are beautiful! Dr. Dan's made the improvements swiftly and at a price that was affordable. I highly recommend Dr. Dan's Landscaping and Architectural Design and urge anyone in need of landscaping work to call them for an estimate.

This letter is in appreciation of the fine work you and your "crews" have done to my yard. The new fence is beautiful, the double locks on the side gate are very security oriented, and the new, much larger concrete patio is awesome. I now have two conversation seating areas and the table, umbrella and chairs for dining on it. The wider, smoother sidewalk along the back and the side of the garage ensures a safe walk through the front gate to the front of the house. The compost dirt that was put down where the forms were will allow for grass to fill in sooner too.

Each subcontractor worked quickly, cleanly and professionally. Their attitude, work ethic, and personalities were above reproach. They were respectful and considerate of my age and desires and worked with me by explaining the next steps and what they would need.

I appreciate your expertise and knowledge, Dan. Over the years you have proved over and over again that you stand behind your business and contractors. You were also on site almost every day, ensuring the work was done to your specifications and expectations. Thank you for a beautiful, well done job!!

  Many thanks for the pleasant surprise I experienced upon my return from vacation to see that you had stopped by and replaced the sedum plant that needed attention. I had not anticipated that you would respond so promptly. The gardenia, portulaca, and verbena are in constant bloom and provide a wonderful color contrast. Needless to say, I continue to enjoy the patio landscaping that you and your crew performed at my property. As a new client I continue to look forward to the high quality service that you are providing.

  I want to thank you very much for the fine job your company did in restructuring my backyard at 3941 Wyckoff Drive in Virginia Beach. Your men did a thoroughly complete, professional, and a beautiful job in changing the entire look of the yard. I now enjoy my back yard and go out there everyday.

I especially want to thank one of your employees, Mike, who oversaw the work and contributed greatly to the satisfactory completion of the undertaking.
Thanks again for the great work.

  We wanted to thank you for the great job you and your team did with our front and back yards. We have had numerous compliments from my neighbors, one being the former home owner. We especially like the large landscaped bed in the front yard which was greatly enhanced by the addition of the red block. The red block matches our home’s brick exterior perfectly. Mike’s ability to adjust our sprinkler head system which was slightly compromised by the blocks demonstrates how your staff is willing to go the extra mile to ensure the customer is completely satisfied . Your team did a great job, they were on-time, courteous, experts in their assigned tasks and worked on our yard like it was their own. We will continue to keep Dr. Dan’s Landscaping top-of-mind, for our next yard improvement.

I now have curb appeal!!!! Every time I pull my car into the driveway, I see my wonderful flower beds. That brick wall was such a mess and I know that was not an easy task to fix. But it is now level and filled with flowers that are beginning to bloom. The bees and butterflies will love the garden and I do as well. I cannot believe it is the same house.

Also, thank your for the extra steps you took with the pruning of the trees. You and your crew are very professional and always looking out for the customer. Customer service is very hard to find these days. Thanks again and I will give you a call when I am ready to start the backyard.

The work you did for us in the front of our house is wonderful. Cutting the branches of the live oak lets so much more light in and keeps our gutters free of debris. The wax myrtles which replaced the dead pines in front of our parking space near the service road are very attractive and so far I have managed not to kill them! Cleaning out all of the ivy and the weeds from the front has opened the house up considerably and walkers stop to admire the wax myrtles. Everything was done very promptly and the clean-up was thorough. We will definitely call you when we have another project to do.

I just wanted to thank you so very much for the great job you did in selecting and planting the flowering trees and shrubs for my front yard! You have definitely given my house better “curb appeal!" You and your crew have always done everything I ask or need in a timely and efficient manner, which I really appreciate, and your guys are always so polite and seem genuinely happy to do the work! I also want to thank you for the past three years of care you have given to the grass in my yard. Paying you once a year for the routine fertilizing and weed control has taken a lot off my mind. All I have to do is water the yard when we haven’t had enough rain and then watch the green grass grow!

  I met a Dr. Dan's associate at the February 2006 Home and Garden Show in Virginia Beach and talked with him about some landscaping possibilities for my Ocean View home. He came out to my home, designed the project, and gave me a fair and reasonable estimate. Within a short time the work was complete. The results are wonderful and accomplished everything I'd hoped for. The job was done exactly as we had discussed. It's great to contract with someone who is honest, reliable, and very competent. I'd highly recommend him for any of your home improvement projects.

I recently hired Dr. Dan’s Landscaping & Architectural Design to do an overhaul on my backyard.  The job consisted of taking down 8 large trees, grinding the stumps, re grading and seeding.  From the time I contracted the project it was completed within 4 days.  I received a professional consultation and informed of all details and warranties prior to the job starting.  Dr. Dan’s staff was prompt, uniformed and courteous throughout. Upon completion the supervisor conducted a “walk through” to ensure my satisfaction.  I highly recommend Dr. Dan’s for all of your landscaping needs.  I know that he will be doing more work for me in the future.

The personnel of Dr. Dan's has done an outstanding job on our property. The design is phenomenal and exceeded our requirements. The skill in preparation of the property for installation and the actual work accomplished, was executed in a very professional manner. The work was accomplished right on time even though the weather was not all that cooperative. I would highly recommend Dr. Dan's to anyone for landscaping. Thanks for a job well done,

I have had the good fortune to know Danny Wasserman for the past ten years, as well as to be a customer of his most basic services. Working in the yard has always been a personal joy; but, at times – I need a little help. Of late; however, an ever-persistent back problem, in tandem with a grueling work schedule, made me seek extra landscaping assistance – especially as the Holidays were fast approaching. I felt badly that I called Danny with such short notice on a major job, directly before Christmas; but, he came through with flying colors. The job was completed in a timely manner, and executed superiorly. Danny made it a point to check on the progress of his co-workers, both through visits to the job site, as well as via correspondences with me. I, also, like the affable manner of his staff.

I do not have to look elsewhere for landscaping work, and nor should you. It is without hesitation that I recommend “Dr. Dan” and his crew for any and all of your landscaping and maintenance needs.
