Rick Meissner at New Growth has been beautifying our garden for over five years. Rick's sense of aesthetics and ability to translate my vague ideas into plantings which delight at all times of the year is outstanding. His crew is really knowledgeable and efficient and I'm always amazed at the transformation that they accomplish in a day.

Rick Meissner who owns New Growth Landscaping did it again. Rick and his crew worked on my property on and off for 12 years now. It should be no surprise to me how reliable and professional they are. I recently fell in love with a white Camellia and asked Rick to plant it for me. This Camellia is now perfectly centered in front of my bathroom window for me to enjoy every time I look out. Rick is not only the most knowledgeable about plants but his sense of aesthetics is unmatched. I call him a landscape artist.

Rick Meissner has worked for us for the past 24 years, which says a lot right there. We hired him a year after we moved into our current home and couldn't imagine our garden without him or his extremely nice and professional crew. He has transformed our garden areas into beautiful oases of color and vitality in every season. He has repeatedly met our evolving needs and aesthetics. He designed and built both stone and wood pathways, steps, walls and fences. He and his crew have installed all variety of irrigation for us and continue to maintain it. New Growth Landscaping has always been

I loved my experience working with New Growth Landscaping! I was awed by the seamless way the team worked together to transform my once overgrown and underwhelming front garden into a welcoming and magical environment. The process felt less like a landscaping project and more like an inspiring creative collaboration. Rick and his team are artists!

New Growth provides wonderful landscape design and maintenance. Our yard had outgrown its original plan and needed a facelift without a total redo. Rick Meissner met with me to develop the changes we could do immediately and the ones we could do over time. He worked within the budget we developed and after 3 years of his help, my yard is stunning and vibrant again. In addition, Rick is super nice and easy to work with which is always important on home projects!
