"I am writing this letter to share how pleased we were with the project Southern Exposure completed for us this fall. Southern Exposure was initially recommended to us by our daughter and son in-law. At first we planned just to add some trees to provide privacy for our deck and “dress up” our water feature area. We were not interested in a design as we already had a plan done in the past by another company, and the plans ended up sitting in the closet gathering dust. Southern Exposure came out and discussed some ideas with me. We then expanded the scope of work to include the area at the entrance of our driveway. The estimator came out on multiple occasions to refine our thoughts. I was very impressed with his knowledge and customer focus. In my experience, representative from other companies do not show up as scheduled and follow up on tasks. Well, Southern Exposure always did and I was most thankful. I could always count on them being present as agreed and was always prepared with the information we needed. We came to our final decisions and then the project was scheduled. We had the same favorable experience with the installation team. They were all professional and ensured that the general concept we established was implemented in a quality fashion. Brian and his crew went above and beyond. We had some bare areas in the lawn, and around the driveway and walkway from an earlier project. The guys put dirt and grass seed on these bare areas and neatened them up so that we had a finished look. Also, we had extra mulch from the job. Instead of leaving it in a pile for us to deal with, they took it upon their own initiative to distribute the mulch around the natural area in the back to neaten up that area as well. There were a couple of optional parts of the project we decided not to implement at this time. However, I can assure you that if we decide to move forward we will call Southern Exposure first. Feel free to call me as a reference."

"I would love to let you know what a professional, helpful and incredibly talented group of folks that are working there. I have a landscaping lighting system that Southern Exposure installed for me years ago and I still get compliments from neighbors and others about how great it makes my home look. The crew there did an awesome job, from meeting with me to showing me all the various possibilities and creative ideas they had, to professionally and promptly installing the lighting system to being ultra-responsive to any maintenance issues that have arisen. They have even gone as far as to deliver replacement light bulbs to my door step! All the folks there do such a great job and truly show that they care about what they’re doing and really want to help you. Southern Exposure is the kind of business that you can’t wait to work with. They have set the bar for other landscaping companies and in my opinion, maintain the “Disney” customer focus culture of the industry. "

"We decided to move forward with Southern Exposure due to your transparency about pricing on your estimate, ability to work with us on our numbers/budget and not just say we had to spend $30k now or we could not do the project at all, your quick response time and wonderful customer service. We didn't really know what we were looking for in a Landscaping Company when we started this hunt back in the fall but when I met you last week, I realized that you (and your business) possess a lot of qualities that Matt and I desire to work with in general and it made our decision making process a little easier :)"

"The results from working with Southern Exposure exceeded my expectations. I'm fairly particular and detail oriented, but Brian's care and attention to the project earned my trust. Everyone was very accommodating and focused on providing us with a final product we were all proud of."

We had a great experience with Southern Exposure! They recently completed a landscaping project in our front garden beds. Matt worked diligently to meet our budget requirements, purchased beautiful plants for our landscape, and scheduled our installation promptly. Justin, Ruben and Ralo did wonderful work on the installation. They worked around our existing landscape lighting (from Southern Lights). They also did a great job with mulching and cleanup. We are so pleased with our landscape!
Brian A.
I am very happy with our experience and results with Southern Exposure. Job foreman Justin was exceptional. As a matter of fact, his customer service was so outstanding, that at the conclusion of our 1st project, he came out to give a quote on some additional work. Because of his thoroughness, I cancelled contract negotiations with another company in order to accept Justin's recommendations for project #2.
Nathan W.
The estimation process was great, and I want to thank Philip for the job he did in ensuring I was satisfied with his proposal. Billing and administration of the job was also great, working with Sean, Matt, and Jessica. The crew (Justin, Ruben, and Ralo) who came to my home did a phenomenal job. They were thorough in their work, while at the same time being very quick to complete the job. My toddler took great joy watching them from our living room :) They were able to deliver exactly what my wife and I hoped for.
Laura D.
Had Southern Exposure come out and clean up our plantings around house. Crew was friendly and accommodating to what we requested. Our yard looks better and we will definitely use them again. Thanks guys!
Julie V.
We were very pleased with our patio and landscape design and installation. I was impressed by the creative solution to our septic issue. Matt and Tim came out right away and helped us figure out how to still get the patio we wanted while not interfering with the septic system. Brian was an excellent foreman and Freddy and Crew were great. Everyone was very friendly and professional and answered our MANY questions knowledgeably and promptly. Our backyard has been transformed with this new patio and we love it. It is beautiful and functional and we love being out there!

For 11 years, Southern Exposure Landscaping has taken care of my very large yard in Greensboro, NC. During this decade of service, Pete and his crews not only proved highly professional, but they were proactive and brought problems (and solutions) to my attention. Their tedious and professional care of my lawn made it a showcase property. Never once did I have to follow up on anything; every person was extremely attentive to me. I feel I am qualified to issue this recommendation for lawn service because I have experienced it every month for 11 years. If there were 10 stars...I would give 10 stars. From the front desk to the back office to the mowing crew, everyone is very professional.

I must say, the entryway to our driveway now looks great! It looks like it always should have, and we are very pleased with the work that has been done. And got some nice rain to get those plants established, as an added bonus! Thank you again, to you and the crew, for your very kind and professional attention to the details and the timeline. Much appreciation

I needed some rock wall work done. I had hired a different company without doing due diligence. The result was inferior walls, both in material and construction. It was so bad that I withheld final payment. After such disappointment, I found Southern Exposure and contracted them to redo the walls. They removed the bad walls and redid the project using their materials. I wish I had used Southern Exposure from the start. They are reputable and professional. I now have the result I envisioned.

We absolutely love the patio, fire pit and the walk way down to it. Your guys did an awesome job and we couldn’t be happier.
M. Willis
I appreciate how that everyone at Southern Exposure makes it a point to communicate to the customer the work that is going to be done so that expectations match the final product. For me, having well written proposals and prompt documentation of change orders is comforting and helps assure that both parties are on the same page for the expectations of the final product and the payment. It was truly refreshing to work with Southern Exposure for my new patio project. The management and crew took the time to understand my vision and helped to make it become a reality. The level of professionalism exhibited both in project management and in quality of work made for a happy customer and hopefully a proud installer. I look forward to spending time on my new patio thanks to Southern Exposure.

If you need landscaping materials or projects done at your house, you definitely need to come here. I made the mistake of buying some bulk mulch from a place closer to my house. Not only was it more expensive but I also found wires, bricks and everything else you can imagine mixed in with the mulch. So after getting frustrated I went back to Southern Exposure and got the rest of what I needed. Not only do you get phenomenal service but you also get great product at a great price. I will never make that mistake again of going somewhere else.
Emily H.
Very happy with service and results! I had 107 bails of pine needles put down in our beds and their quote was $700 less than another nursery quote. They are very professional and easy to work with. They also communicated through text and email which was very nice.
Tori S.
Your crew did a wonderful job on our landscaping! They were very helpful, punctual and the yard looks great!
Harold C.
Really appreciated the integrity of the estimator. We had a large area with little to no grass after adding a retaining wall and fill dirt to help make our yard more usable. The estimator said they could seed but they recommended we wait until fall or we stood a good chance of failure due to summer heat. It was refreshing to have a company recommend what was right rather than what was expedient. We will be using them this fall to get our lawn going.

I have used several other landscaping companies in the past included a couple of big name companies such as New Garden. The landscape crew from Southern Exposure does a considerably better job than any other company that I have ever used before. Their work is quality!!!! The foreman told the other workers what to do and they did exactly what I wanted. They kept to the job at hand and paid attention to detail. It was a very smooth process and the results were beautiful. The foreman is a very nice young man that enjoys gardening himself so he is mindful of detail. The man that trimmed most of the shrubbery has been with the company from the start and he is incredible! I couldn't believe the difference compared to other companies I have tried. It is nice to have a company do what you need and want and not try to sell you on what you don't need
Carolyn L.
As a customer of Southern Exposure for 10 plus years I have to give an “A+” rating on the service and quality of work I had all those years. Not only have they been responsive in my needs and extra work but the politeness was over the top, from the management down to the yard men. When we owned a construction company, SE did work for us. Later, after my husband passed, I had my house and my mother's house to care for, and during that period I found them to be invaluable and very much appreciated.
Nick H.
The city had a very complex project with lots of moving parts. From the initial planning meetings to the completion deadline, we always knew we could count on Southern Exposure.
Don C.
Quick, Courteous, Knowledgeable, On-Time Start and Completion of job. Everything went smooth. Workers were very courteous. Yard was cleaned up well after work completed.

I just wanted to send a note to say thanks for the creativity and hard work on our project. We had no problems. In fact, the "Team" went above and beyond. They fixed some grass / barren spaces on the walkway area, driveway and yard, and picked up a pile of dead limbs that were just laying out in the natural area. They ensured all the mulch was used by spreading in areas not covered by planting and even blew the leaves off the deck. Great Customer Service! Everyone - from the estimator, to the office team, to Southern Exposure's MIH (Make it Happen)Team - seem very customer focused and in tune with helping the customer at every touch point. I just wanted to say thanks for the creativity and hard work on our little project. Everything turned out great.

They did a wonderful job and were very polite and receptive. I can't believe how much they did so quickly.
Lester B.
We decided to go with their Black Friday special and couldn't be happier. The staff and on-sight crew were extremely helpful and very professional to work with. They completed the outdoor patio/firepit in two days, and will definitely use them for future projects. We highly recommend them to others. - Google Review

We had a full landscape and hardscape project done. We had general foundation landscaping, a paver walkway, and designer landscaping done. They did such an amazing job that we are using them again in the fall to plant privacy trees for us. - Angie's List Review
Brian S.
I have worked with Southern Exposure on projects at both of my homes over the last 8 years and have nothing but good things to say about them. I have referred them to friends and family over the years and they have received nothing but positive feedback. The owner Pete really has this business running well, and I have relied on them year after year to steer me in the right direction. His knowledge, ideas, and responsiveness are top notch. In all the years I have worked with them I have only had one issue and it was remedied the very next morning. In fact they went above in beyond what I asked. I rarely post reviews, but this one is well deserved. - Google Review

I have been using Southern Exposure for many years. Have always been pleased with their service. The Estimator and his crew are great. - Yelp Review
Gary N
Working with Southern Exposure was the most pleasurable experience my wife and I have ever had working with a contractor. I can say this after having three homes built in three states and several projects completed over the last thirty six years. We appreciated the professionalism displayed by everyone we worked with. We would like to thank the hardscape project manager for his design and attention to detail related to our project. Unlike most contractors, he responded in a timely fashion to all of our questions. He helped us take a concept we had envisioned for our back yard for some time and turned it into a reality. He is definitely a valuable asset to your organization. We would also like to commend The foreman and his crew that completed the installation. Their knowledge and attention to detail was unbelievable. Needless to say, we will be using Southern Exposure for future projects we have been contemplating.
