We design and install custom landscapes featuring seasonal plants, trees, and perennials. Our approach balances year-round visual interest with practical maintenance considerations. Each installation includes strategic plant selection to create dynamic color transitions and fragrance throughout the seasons while maintaining ecological sustainability.

Report
The president of Earth Development Chris Marzahl personally met with me and verbally confirmed that he is full service and can do the project from soup to nuts. From the moment I signed the agreement with him, his responsiveness disappeared and the deal changed. His verbal commitments were worthless. He couldn't even be bothered to meet me onsite to review a critical gas line issue, which he initially told me he would take care of, but subsequently claimed is not in his scope. I would not recommend doing business with him.

Horrible horrible drivers. The person I spoke with tried to defend this (illegal alien?) driver who tried to cut me off and then tried to ram me. Wouldn't hire this company just because of this!

Report
The review that gave them one star because the way a landscaping truck was driving is ridiculous. I've been using Earth Developments for almost 10 years on every type of project you can imagine. Not only are by far the best landscapers I've ever worked with - they are the best contractor I've ever worked with. They are fair in their pricing and do great work. Shabica, the coastal and bluff engineering firm, was so impressed with their bluff work and limestone steps, they use it as their example of how bluff work should be done (for a much better price than other landscapers).
