Landscaping reviews across the US

Ryan is a hard worker who does what he says, shows up on time and has very fair prices. Great communication & great quality of work! Highly recommend 10/10 we will definitely be using RDF again in the near future!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Congratulations! Your search is over, you have found RDF Property Services! Let me tell you, Ryan is kind and professional, and he CARES! Integrity is everything when hiring someone to care for your property. I found that Ryan has genuine concern for the well-being of trees and overall health of my landscape. Ryan’s team responded quickly to my needs and worked very diligently. I’m planning to call Ryan back for more work this spring! HIRE RDF Property Services, they will not disappoint! RDF Is Top notch!!!!

I can recommend Ryan's services without reservation--it's very hard to find someone who actually gets right back to you AND follows through competently on their call--Ryan does both. I was extremely pleased with both the service (lawn mowing and fall window washing) and clear communication. I look forward to being on RFD's seasonal cleaning list.

Ryan is always extremely responsive, helpful and easy to do business with. I cannot recommend him enough. He’s plowing at all times of the night to ensure you can get up and to the mountain easily and quickly. I have used Ryan for 2 seasons (based on a recommendation from a local (and I don’t believe there is higher praise than that)). He exceeded all my expectations.

Recently, Ryan from RDF properties cleaned our windows, and the job he did was absolutely fantastic. He was very quick with getting us a proposal and also very prompt in performing the window cleaning. Actually, when the job was complete, I asked Ryan for an invoice and he wanted me to verify that all the work was done to my satisfaction before he would invoice me. I highly recommend RDF properties and will utilize their services again.

Awesome communication, prompt scheduling, kept exceptional clean work site with great consideration towards our neighbors. Even finished ahead of schedule. Nice job taking down a good sized maple close to our house. Seeded and mulched lawn where material was dragged across. Complete considerate work and service.

Our project involved trenching for internet conduit between the street and a hillside house through forested conditions. Ryan was knowledgeable, responsive, and adaptable. He did efficient, well-tuned work surveying, choosing the right line, excavating, laying conduit, regrading, seeding, and haying the dig site, and leaving everything in perfect readiness for the next step, fishing cable to bring internet into our house for the first time. It came out on-time and on-budget. Ryan was friendly, fair, and honest in his planning and pricing. I wholeheartedly recommend partnering with him for landscape projects that require experience and discernment.

Ryan / RDF Property Services have been the most reliable partners we’ve found in Vermont. Managing an airbnb from afar is no simple task but Ryan and his team makes it easy. They are reliable, trustworthy and competitively priced. Glad I was able to find them and add them to our property management crew — highly, highly recommend!

Silvia is a pleasure to work with. She listens to what your goal is for your garden and then creates a beautiful work of shapes and colors to meet (or exceed!) your goal.

Not enough superlatives to offer about Silvia and her depth of knowledge, skills, creativity as well as responsiveness to us as consumers. Lucky for everyone she still insists on being a private consultant because her talent would be grabbed up by major botanical gardens and parks if she preferred. From initial exploration/planning of our wants and desires to evaluating our property, designed a fabulous new garden, listing all plants with generic and popular names, care and placement to follow up with lay out and plantings to where to obtain plants and landscape companies to install (if you prefer). She is totally efficient, brilliant and respectful of the time and investment the homeowner is committing. Rates more than reasonable.

From our initial contact throughout the entire project, Sylvia was attentive, reliable and very easy to work with. She listened to our ideas and created her design incorporating all of the things we were looking for, and made it even better than we envisioned. She was committed to keeping the plants native as we wished and beautifully blended greenery and stone just as we wanted. Her attention to detail and creativity is unmatched. I highly recommend Old World Garden Design for a beautiful and practical design and an incredible work ethic.

Silvia is amazing! We built our house, and the outside was a blank canvas which felt overwhelming. She took time during our consultation to really understand the colors, and types of native and non-invasive plants we were hoping to use, and then put together the most beautiful landscape design. We have lovely color and textures year round, and our home feels so welcoming now. She has an incredible eye and design sense, and we continue to call for consults as we expand outdoor areas. Don't hesitate to call her - Silvia is wonderful!

Silvia does beautiful work and is a pleasure to work with. Her garden designs always include native plantings that complement each other and the setting beautifully. I have been SO happy with Silivia's work, and Old World Garden Design is my top recommendation to friends and family looking for landscaping design.

We have worked with Silvia Jope of Old World Garden Designs for 15 years or so and could not be happier with her work—both as a landscape designer and in taking care of our gardens each fall and spring.

We first hired Silvia to design the flower gardens in both the front and rear of our previous home. During the initial consultation, Silvia paid careful attention to our concerns (we wanted low-maintenance flowers, trees, and shrubs) and then provided a design that was not only lovely, but an ideal fit for the property. Some years later, we moved into a condominium with a small courtyard that needed to be completely re-designed. We asked Silvia once again to come up with a design, and once again her design was ideal for the space.

Since moving into our condominium, we have asked Silvia to come once in the spring to prepare the beds for summer and once in the fall to put the garden “to bed” for the winter. She always shows up when promised, does what needs to be done, and her charge for the work is very reasonable. In a nutshell, Silvia is a joy to work with!

There's not enough good things to say about Silvia. Silvia created gorgeous plans for our front yard, side yard, and backyard. Working with her is a pleasure; she is detail oriented, punctual, extremely knowledgeable. You will not regret hiring Silvia!

Silvia is wonderful to work with. She listens closely to what you are looking for, stays within your budget and has a great eye. Even as an avid DIY gardener, I've found it invaluable to hire Silvia to layout new garden beds and set the overall structure. Her fees are very reasonable and it's absolutely worth the money. I also really appreciate her focus on ecological considerations, like including native plants when possible.

They do a great job maintaining our properties. Go out of the way to take care of us.

Responsive, professional and the team shows up on time and works hard. I recommend VT Terrain without reservation.

Andrew has completed three separate projects for us: our patio stonework, cable railing and post and retaining wall rock veneer. High-quality work was performed for all three projects and we are so happy with the finished product. For all three projects, Andrew was responsive to all questions, communicated realistic timelines and kept to them, made suggestions on what selections would improve the look (advice was spot-on), sent daily pictures to us on progress and overall was just a consistently pleasant person to work with. Andrew and VT Terrain are by far and away our favorite contractors to have worked with in Vermont. Highly recommend!

Andrew and his crew are true professionals. He replied to our initial inquiry right away, and started on the work very quickly. They did a great job on our driveway and installing a French drain to deal with excess water. He kept in communication with us regularly, and the work was completed in a timely manner. Definitely recommend these guys!

Dustin did an incredible job fixing my failing pond. He used high quality material and did it the right way. He also took down some trees for me. He showed up when he said he would, and got it all done quickly. Highly recommend.
