Landscape Architect reviews in Cincinnati, Ohio

We had an awesome experience in designing and landscaping both our front and back yards. Darren was incredibly helpful in taking some of our ideas and designing a beautiful cohesive design. We loved his honesty and opinion on the best places to spend the budget we had and was with us throughout the entire process. Our project manager, Nate and his team, were wonderful in their attention to detail and ensuring we were kept in the loop on progress, etc. we would highly recommend them and will be using them for our annual services as well!

Very pleased with the landscaping design from Darren Shick at Seiler Landscaping, as well as the onsite work by Nate and his crew. Design work included replacement of shrubs in several areas and addition of a tree in the back yard area. The crew was very helpful on the day of work and did a great job of installation, checking with me on placement, and cleanup afterward. Thanks for all your help.

Seilers and the work crew headed by Sam Atkinson did a stellar job. Their attention to detail and the completed project was extraordinary. I highly recommend them for your landscape projects.

I had your team replace a lot of the plantings in my beds. Darrin did an excellent job on the design and the installation crew was the best I have ever worked with. The foreman was Nate C and he was nothing less than amazing. He did an excellent job removing, installing, water, and cleaning up the property. 5 stars all the way.

Our first time working with Seiler’s Landscaping. What a great experience we had from start to finish. Darren who designed the project was patient and very professional and Nate’s onsite team was hard working and very conscientious. I would highly recommend contacting Seiler’s Landscaping for your next project.

This was my first season using Seiler’s. They did a great job with the initial spring cleanup/mulching, but it all went downhill from there. I signed up for their periodic bed maintenance, where you pay a fixed fee for 5 visits throughout the warmer months. It took multiple times of me asking when they were going to come out next and ended up being 6 and a half weeks between visits, in the late spring timeframe, when weeds were super active. Many excuses were made. And then the next two visits were w/in about 2 weeks each of each other. Just seems like they would understand customers would prefer a more even spread out of timing/services. Then on my last visit, they came and went in a 6 minute window, confirmed by my Seiler’s rep when I brough it to his attention. He told me the workers said nothing needed done – I had the rep come out w/in a few days to show him all the missed work – he agreed on alot of it, but not on the pine needles/bit of leaves in the beds, saying this wasn’t included in the bed maintenance service. The contract says the bed maintenance includes all debris cleared out, so unsure of the disconnect there. Then w/ our final fall cleanup, they charge over $500 to essentially blow some leaves out of the beds/off the lawn without taking into consideration the large tree in my front yard that had yet to drop many of its leaves – so their work was “undone” just a couple days later as more leaves fell. I was hoping for more of a partner in landscaping that in this instance, would have observed the situation and asked if I wanted them to perform the service at a later date. It all felt to me they were taking advantage of their fixed fee structure, doing the bare minimum to maximize profit and just trying to check the box of completing my services in the timeframe that worked best for them.

Sam Atkinsen and his team did a fantastic job installing sod in my back yard. They went above and beyond and even cleared out all the dead branches and leaves left over from a recent storm. Sam made sure to carve out mulch beds where needed and gave me clear instructions on how to water the sod in the coming weeks. I’m a few weeks past their visit and the grass is looking great. I highly recommend Sam and his team, they do great work!

Seiler’s team is outstanding! They are consistently punctual, efficient, professional, and incredibly respectful. For the past few years, they’ve maintained our patios—handling everything from planting to fountain care—with exceptional skill and attention to detail. We’ve come to rely on their expert advice and guidance, and they never disappoint. A special shoutout to Isaac, who excels at communication and always helps us make the best plant selections. We truly trust and appreciate the entire team!

I often hear people complain they can’t get a landscaper to show up, or follow through after they call me out to quote work. YELL is the complete opposite. Barrett takes pride in his work, employees and his customers. You can always get him via text or cell and they show up when they promise they will. Barrett is good at making suggestions if you can’t make your decision. I have been using YELL for almost three years now and cannot speak highly enough of the work they do. My neighbors even started using them after they had issues with another landscaping company.

Barret and his team are amazing! The level of service and work quality are top notch. We were amazed with the results and the professionalism from beginning to end. I would HIGHLY recommend YEL to anyone and have passed their name on to several of my friends. Thanks again for your help and expertise!

Just completed a mid size front yard project for me. Graded, removed a huge tree, power raked, installed irrigation system and sodden. Barrett and his crew were very respectful of our property and neighbors'. His foreman Brad was the same. Great experience and most importantly, the finished product looks incredible.

We have worked with Yell for a number of years and they always took great care of our landscape. We recently moved to a new home with very nice landscaping. Yell came in trimmed, relocated plants and added 2 new giant arborvitae. What a fantastic result, took the landscaping to a whole new level. Our neighbor even asked for their contact info. Thanks for all your hard work gentleman.

Barrett and his crew did an exceptional job from time of quoting work, until completion of project!!! They fabricated/built a stone landscaping wall in our front yard that exceeding our expectations. The wall and landscaping looks just amazing, and I am confident very durable to last the test of time. Passing cars are stopping by to take a look !

This was the first year that I let someone else prepare the beds for Spring. The quote was a little high, but Barrett came highly recommended. I accepted the quote and left in their hands. I also want to have a pre-meeting to go over what plants they should not touch and during the call with Barrett I felt reassured that they had it under control, so I canceled the walkthrough. Once they started working, it was amazing how much stuff the pulled out of the beds and yard (my back was thanking them), then they started weeding and being careful to not hurt the newly forming buds. Then, they start edging the beds (again my back was thanking them). The last treatment was to spray for weeds. A week later, the mulch crew came in and carefully placed the mulch with the goal of not hurting the new flowers. They did a great job of laying a thick layer and cleaning up after themselves. My back was crying of joy, my wife was happy that it was done, and now I get to sit back and enjoy! Thanks guys!

Young Entrepreneurs Landscaping did a Fall clean-up at my home. Although their calendar was pretty full, Barrett, the owner said they would figure out how to squeeze me into the schedule. Considering the amount of leaves in my yard (my home is surrounded by tons of tall trees) I was concerned they would have to spend more time than they initially estimated to get the job done. They sent one guy, Anthony, and he got the job done in less than two hours...and that included literally getting every leaf (even the ones stuck behind the shed, grill, and other nooks and crannies) of my yard and pruning the perennials. I was blown away. Barrett and his crew are friendly, considerate, very professional and put 150% into their work. I’ll be reaching out to them for future work for sure. AWESOME!

We have had Barrett and his crew doing landscaping for us since he was still in college. I have never been anything but 100% pleased with their work. Last week they did spring clean up and mulch. I was very pleasantly surprised to discover that they also took it upon themselves to remove a huge pile of branches that I had stacked next to the house, in the driveway. I was dreading having to drag it all to the curb. I did not ask, they just did it. Great job, going above and beyond! Also, the neighbors have been commenting on how beautiful the yard looks. I highly recommend this young company. Susan Boehm Hoffman

Young Entrepreneur Landscaping envisioned and delivered a beautiful patio for our yard. We are very happy with the quality of the craftsmanship and the materials and are so excited to use our patio this summer! Barrett provided excellent communication on the job status throughout and terrific attention to detail of the build. Definitely recommend!

In November, 2018, we hired YE to grade, sod, and landscape our yard after the installation of a swimming pool. The grading resulted in water pooling in our yard so the team came back and installed a catch basin and drain. At one point in our yard, the drain was merely placed on top of the ground instead of being buried. Once the sod on the drain died and the drain pipe came through, Barrett refused to return my calls or text. Additionally, I spent a month trying to get Barrett to return my calls and texts because one of my trees were dying. Since we were in the first year, I expected this tree to be warranted. When Barrett wouldn’t return my calls or text messages, I asked my wife to call from her phone. When he returned her call, Barrett told my wife he wouldn’t warranty the tree since I didn’t try contacting him. When she told him I have the text messages showing I have tried contacting him he informed her that’s not his problem. She explained we were going to share our experience with others he said “please do”. His website says you’re not just another account but our top priority. They were great to work with when things were going well but they’ve been terrible with follow through and standing behind their work.

YE did a fantastic job landscaping my yard. I had multiple areas that needed to be fixed and Barrett provided great guidance to improve my yard. The pricing and time to complete work was very reasonable and Barrett is very responsive. Overall I would definitely use YE for any future landscaping needs!

Finding a contractor who meets expectations can be a challenge. With YELL, they exceeded our expectations throughout the process. Barrett treated our lawn like it was his own, making follow-up visits to ensure the new grass was growing as promised. And when it was time to overseed (not part of our agreement), Barrett was there on a Saturday morning to do the work at no additional charge. Always responsive, as well - calls and texts were returned immediately. I highly recommend YELL!

I highly recommend Barrett and his team for your landscape needs. He was creative in our design and competitive in his pricing. This says a lot since his competition was local and he included the cost of travel due to our south Dayton location. The team was polite, open to minor modifications, they showed up when they said they would and cleaned up at completion. I've already told Barrett "you'll be back next year for phase 2"!
