LaMond Design Cincinnati

We had an incredibly positive experience from start to finish. We met Christopher through mutual friends, and he came very highly recommended. Upon his first visit, he immediately got deeply involved in the planning and helped us think through options. Our main problem was that, given the shade and competition with trees, we simply could not grow grass in the backyard. We tried sod three times, and it always failed. We were considering going to gravel or more hardscape, but we really wanted the experience of grass, and he suggested we try the artificial turf. Certainly, people of goodwill can disagree on artificial turf, but we think it looks great and it is so easy to use and care for.

The process of working with LaMond was great. As I said, the estimate was quick, insightful, and comprehensive. We actually had an issue with the timing of the project because of the terrible weather this winter, and Chris offered to refund our deposit because of the delay (which was NOT their fault). We certainly appreciated that gesture, but decided to leave the deposit with them because we knew we wanted to finish the work as soon as the weather broke. They got right on it.

The work itself took two days, and Christopher and his team were all terrific the entire time.
1. The first day was the excavation and leveling and gravel work and the beginning of the cobblestones and stubbing in the drip irrigation lines under the future turf
2. The second day was finishing the cobblestones and laying the turf and putting in the handful of plants we had purchased

I highly recommend the turf solution if you have a challenge with natural grass and I highly recommend you do it with Lamond!

Christopher is an extremely talented designer, who came up with several different plans for us to choose from. The execution of the project was flawless and the backyard was transformed into a peaceful oasis. Christopher was a pleasure to work with, as were his employees. Great communication and guidance all along the way.

Amazing work quality and extremely communicative and thoughtful. Chris was responsive and imaginative, addressing concerns, changes, and additions. He added true and lasting value to my property and I’ll be using LaMond again!
