Landscaping reviews in Durham, North Carolina

You know that feeling when you find good and honest people who do amazing work at a fair price? Well, that's how we feel! In the midst of a giant home/yard renovation. We were overwhelmed and didn't think that there was hope for our overgrown, forest of a yard. Then one of the top garden stores in town recommended Noam and his crew at Grow it Yourself to us. Oh my goodness!! Of all the people and contractors who have worked on our home, Noam was by far the most responsive to our inquiries. He's also honest and trustworthy. He gave us a quick and fair estimate and swooped in to help us. The work his crew did was BEAUTIFUL! We are so very grateful to have found this wonderful small business. We will ABSOLUTELY be calling on them to continue to improve our yard.

I can always count on Noam and his crew to do fantastic work. From my raised bed garden, installing rain barrels and most recently creating the foundation for a new greenhouse, the work is top notch, the team is even better!

I've worked with Noam and his team twice now, and I recommend him all the time to anyone who needs help bringing their landscape plans to life. They are thorough, thoughtful, and so professional it is a treat to work with them. They are also incredible fair in terms of pricing. There really isn't a better team in the area!

Grow It Yourself is my go-to company for all things landscaping and gardening. I've had them do many different projects over the years and they've always been professional, friendly, and knowledgable. I can't tell you how many compliments I've gotten on my raised beds, pollinator garden, and patio. Give them a call if you've got an idea and they can probably make it happen!

I had such a wonderful experience working with Grow It Yourself. The team was incredibly skilled, professional, and respectful from start to finish. Noam worked closely with me to bring my vision to life and took the time to educate me throughout the process, which I really appreciated. Communication was excellent, and everything went so smoothly. There are so many landscaping companies to choose from, but if you’re looking for someone who is warm, professional, and truly talented, I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Grow it Yourself recently completed projects in our front and back yard. The team is incredibly friendly, professional and hardworking. My husband and I both work from home and we wouldn't have even known an entire landscaping team was in our yard unless we looked out the window; the team was so quiet and thoughtful. We appreciated how knowledgeable the team was and how receptive the team was to our vision. The project was executed perfectly!

10/10. We will definitely be using Grow it Yourself again.

For reference, we had small shrubs and perennial flowers planted in the front and back. We installed a crepe myrtle in the back yard. We also had landscaping stones installed in the front yard around the tree and flower bed. We used metal edging in the back. The project took 1.5 days (an extra half day because they were rained out the first day). Pictures included.

Grow It Yourself has done a few projects in our yard: clearing and cleaning up overgrown areas, installing a dry bed, cleaning up after silt washed into our yard from the storms, and adding retaining walls.

I appreciated that the team was so communicative; they told me what they were going to do and when and followed through. We are so happy with the results! We've already had a few neighbors stop us to tell us how good the front bed looks. (They're probably happy they don't have to look at our overgrown bed anymore ;) -- see before and afters.). Thank you!

I contacted Noam because I just didn’t have the time to do the work myself. I have landscaped my entire front and backyard myself, planting well over 100 shrubs and trees. I have priced plants and materials from a range of nurseries across the triangle. It took a lot for me to give up doing the work myself but I don’t regret it at all.

Noam’s team did great work. I estimated the work myself using retail pricing of edging material, plants, soil amendments, and mulch and was within $100 of his estimate. The materials are all at retail price and not wholesale but the estimate is extremely reasonable and the workmanship and knowledge is top notch. I would not hesitate to call him back for additional work. They were friendly, efficient, and easy to work with. Well done!

From start to finish, the team was quick, polite, and knowledgeable.

For years we struggled with monkey grass that just wouldn’t quit — they cleared it out completely and replaced our front yard grass it with rich, fertile soil prepped for native flowers and pollinator-friendly plants. They also installed metal edging to make it harder for grass to creep back in.

One of our favorite upgrades was how they extended our walkway to give us more space to walk from our porch to the sidewalk. It’s a subtle change that makes a big difference in our daily use of the space.

They also gave us thoughtful recommendations for native perennials to plant (including some great pollinator options), and what really stood out was that they kept supporting us even after the work was done — sharing ideas and tips to help us keep building on the project.

Would absolutely recommend working with Grow It Yourself if you’re looking for a team that blends skill, speed, and a love for sustainable landscaping.

Grow It Yourself did a fantastic job with our front yard. Noam came out twice because we changed our front yard plans after some more thought of the look we were going for - pollinator garden with a dry rock bed as well as a rain barrel install. Noam’s knowledge and experience in the business are absolutely top-notch. He is incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with every detail. Maria was amazing — she took the time to carefully choose our plants to get what we wanted. Highly recommend this team if you’re looking for quality, thoughtful service, and a crew that truly goes the extra mile! 🌱

Grow It Yourself helped us with hardscaping, weeding, and mulching our yard. We have been trying to keep up with our yard ourselves and had fallen behind - Grow It Yourself came in, worked hard for three days, and has our yard in PRISTINE condition. They are reasonably priced, kind, responsive, and hard working. Noam checked in with us constantly to make sure everything was going well. And Maria was so kind with both of our dogs that loved to come and say hello. I am so grateful for the service they provided.
