Home Services reviews in Annapolis, Maryland

Cindy designed and installed landscaping for the front of my house. She was timely in responding to emails, creative, and conscientious and was very personable and easy to collaborate with on my project. I highly recommend her and the company.

I am thrilled with the garden plan Cindy designed and installed for me. She took my existing gardens and added her TLC and expertise and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome! She created a beautiful and harmonious garden!!

We had Cindy do our design in the front of our home. She did a wonderful job incorporating my likes and her expertise in putting it together and coming up with additional ideas. It was a pleasure and we highly recommend her.

Harmony Gardens landscape design have been consistently creative; highly responsive; and they listen to the client's needs and budget. Years of experience as a professional, Cindy Shuart is capable of designing and installing ecologically beneficial garden plans, beautiful green walls, all outdoor living spaces that reflect client's family's activities. I highly recommend this landscape design company

Cindy was great to work with and had many ideas on how to work with our small space. We had a vision for a tranquil space reminiscent of a zen garden and she delivered. We're in love with our new backyard that includes a peaceful water feature.

I had the most incredible experience with Harmony Gardens. My front yard is a STEEP slope that extends down to the street. It was an area about 125 ft long by 25 ft tall. The project was massive and daunting, especially because I was worried about erosion and water runoff. Cindy worked with me every step of the way, coming to my house several times to go over plant selections and her design ideas. Because of the unique curve and steep incline, she mapped and drew the area by hand, instead of the much easier computer method.

When it came to installation, the crew was professional and FAST! I thought that an area that large would have taken at least a week, but they cleared the site, edged, added boulders with equipment, laid gravel for drainage, planted, and mulched all within 3 days. They cleaned up each night and when the work was finished, you'd never know that there had just been a crew doing a massive project right along the street. I had the entire neighborhood watching the progress, and many skeptics who thought that mulch wouldn't hold up on the extreme incline, but I can happily say that it was a huge success.

The work was completed last fall, and everything held up perfectly in the many downpours and storms we have had in the months since then. I was extremely relieved and pleased that, as promised, nothing washed away and the plants seemed to settle in. Now that it is spring, the entire garden has come to life beautifully. The plants selected were ALL very healthy and put in with care. I couldn't be more pleased with the wonderful interaction I had with Harmony Gardens. Highly highly highly recommend!

We heard about Harmony Gardens from our neighbors. They highly recommended them.

We had kind of an idea of what we wanted for our home but did not know exactly and further did not know how to make it happen. We needed a professional and guidance.

Cindy came to our home and carefully listened and asked all the right questions. We could tell that she was interested in us.

We loved her thoughts and ideas. Her vision seems to come with a lot of experience and knowledge. Her delivery is professional and fun. You can tell she enjoys her job. She got us so excited.

Once we agreed on a plan of action, she provided us with a fair quote. We had confidence that her implementation was going to be good. We comfortably agreed to move forward with the work. The work was done in a very timely manner and with great attention to detail.

We were more than pleased with the outcome. We now have a beautiful new patio, walkway and all the gorgeous plantings to make our backyard the place we want to be and enjoy. We feel we have added nicely to our home and value.

We recommend her and her crews with confidence.

Cindy, Joe and crew were fantastic. Love my new landscape. Cindy stays in touch with you every step of the way and is very knowledgeable. The whole crew was very pleasant to work with. Would highly recommend Harmony Gardens for any type of landscape needs.

Love my new backyard. After patiently listening to my goals and hopes for the project, Cindy brought exactly what I was envisioning to life. Her expertise is outstanding. Harmony Gardens far exceeded my hopes for my landscaping project. I would absolutely recommend them.

Cindy Shuart, owner of Harmony Gardens, clearly loves what she does! Her attention to detail is a welcomed approach when so many owners seldom show their face. I especially love Cindy's creative flair and generosity of spirit. She always brings a colorful treat -- potted plant or oversized pot for the deck. She has a keen eye of how to balance different levels of my corner-lot backyard in Eastport and offers suggestions within my budget and scope. I highly recommend working with her if you want a personal experience with a seasoned professional who will individually tend to your landscaping needs.

Cindy is an absolute pro! She has a wealth of knowledge and creative ideas and works fast and effectively. Her communication was exceptional, and her guidance so appreciated. I am loving our landscape upgrades!

Cindy and her crew created and executed a gorgeous front yard landscape for our home. Cindy was super quick to come out and give suggestions and draw up a sketch. Her and the crew came out within a week or so of the first consult and installed everything with care and rather quickly. We love our new yard! It’s is both beautiful and functional, both things we were hoping for. Highly recommend Harmony Garden!

I contracted another company to create a landscape design for me and originally planned to have them do the installation as well. I was having several beds completely redone, which entailed the removal of some very mature plants followed by the planting of over 100 new items. I hoped to have this done before the summer heat rolled in. After receiving the design several weeks later than promised and a final estimate to complete the project that was substantially higher than the original range I was given, I decided to shop the installation and I couldn’t be happier that I did.

Of the several wonderful people that came and provided more reasonable estimates, Cindy really stood out from the bunch. She had such a genuine excitement to work with me on this project and was really intent on helping me have this major landscaping renovation done as quickly as possible. As a degreed landscape designer, she was also able to thoroughly examine the plan and provide several suggestions for improvement.

Within one week of our initial meeting, Cindy had the installation completed. It was unbelievable. She was onsite all day, overseeing every aspect of the project and it turned out beautifully. The original plan had been to dispose of the plants and shrubs that were being removed, but Cindy came up with some great ideas for their reuse on other parts of our property and her crew replanted them at no additional cost.

I am an admitted perfectionist and when I noted there were 3 items (out of over 100) that looked a little sparce, Cindy quickly came by to replace them with no discussion. She simply informed me that making me happy was her top priority.

For a truly personalized experience from a warm, knowledgeable, and experienced landscape designer at an incredibly reasonable price, I highly recommend Cindy and Harmony Gardens.

Cindy is wonderful to work with and her crew is excellent. From a sweet design to execution, the work to install a shade garden under my deck was first rate. I highly recommend Cindy to anyone who wants to work with a creative professional who translates an idea into a long awaited reality.

It was a great experience working with Cindy. She quickly understood what I was looking for and came up with a great plan. Within a week, my new landscape was finished. I highly recommend Harmony Gardens. The whole process was easy and the outcome was outstanding.

Cindy and her team performed a fabulous job at my house in Annapolis. Including a new patio, brick sidewalk, landscape wall and lighting. I appreciated the attention to detail and the ability to make adjustments to the plan as the job progressed. I am very happy with the entire effort.

I immediately felt a connection when meeting Cindy. She understood what I was hoping to accomplish and she made it happen. Her team is professional and wants to please. Very happy with my new walkway and looking forward to doing more projects with Cindy.

I worked with Harmony Gardens to redo my front and back yards, including both landscaping and hardscaping. Cindy and Jose developed a plan and were terrific to work with throughout the project. They were professional, flexible and went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right and completed before an event I had scheduled. They have my highest recommendation.

We worked with Cindy on two projects—just some simple landscaping, and a total redesign of our backyard. Both experiences were great and I would totally recommend working with her for any project, big or small. You can be as involved as you’d like to be, or you can trust that Cindy will execute your vision and arrange everything!

Our backyard was essentially a blank slate, just a big rectangle of grass. I showed Cindy my Pinterest board and she truly did the rest, choosing all the plants, designing a fenced kitchen garden, a stone pathway, etc. She works with a group of amazing and hardworking contractors who got everything done quickly and beautifully. She even coordinated for the repair of our sprinkler system and power washing of our house. Everything looks beautiful and we are so excited to see how it grows and fills in over the next few years.

We really enjoyed working with Cindy at Harmony Gardens! She created a beautiful landscape plan for us.

It was wonderful working with Cindy and the team at Harmony Gardens. Her creative process and level of expertise helped make our decision to work with her, and we were not disappointed. We especially appreciated the thought she put into making the garden accessible for our kids and helping us choose plants that will attract pollinators. Thank you, Harmony Gardens team!
