Dana Lund Landscaping did an absolutely fantastic job with our landscaping remodel. We had both the front and back yard completely changed with a focus on reducing our lawn area and increasing our planting areas. The design process was very collaborative and creative. The scope included both soft scaping for plants and hard scaping for walkways and patio area. Frans was our principle contact and he has a fantastic knowledge of plants and helped select the right plants to place according to our liking and appropriate to the sun, soil, and environmental conditions. Also a key point is that they had their team on the job every day from the day-one start to the end of the job with no gaps or delays. Every day they showed up on time / even early, and worked a full day without fail. If you are considering landscaping work I recommend them highly.
After hiring Hawkins to construct our new pool, we were so happy with their work that we hired the partner company, Dana Lund, to complete our landscaping. They did an amazing job. We are so pleased with the final product. The entire crew was professional and a delight to work with, but we especially appreciated Ryan, Rodrigo, and Frans.
We had our backyard landscaped by Dana Lund Landscaping back in 2017 when the company was still owned by Dana, and we were thrilled with the result, so naturally when it came time to redo our front yard, we contacted the company again. (We did not realize it had changed ownership and is now owned by Hawkins Pools). The bottom line is, we ended up with a wonderful remodel ONLY thanks to Frans and his original Dana Lund team, who were fantastic. Unfortunately we had a very poor experience with the frontline salesperson, who was not responsive to our initial call, often did not show up when planned, and did not listen to our ideas or what our vision was for the front yard. We would have appreciated contact from the owner at this point, given the issues we were facing, but did not hear from him at all, which was disappointing. Because we had a great history with Frans (who does wonderful design has a great knowledge of plants), we did not cancel our contract and look elsewhere, but worked solely with him to secure the design and install. I can't speak highly enough of Frans - he is the workhorse of the company, and goes above and beyond for his clients. After we got past the disappointing initial contact with the new management, we ended up with a wonderful result that we are very proud of.
