Landscaping reviews in Chesapeake, Virginia

UPDATE 7/22/20 - My original review on engaging Visionscapes was not good and I gave them a low rating on engagement as I had not gotten to design or installation after multiple weeks. The owner of the company reached out to me directly and assured me the issues experienced were not normal for his company and that it is very important to him all of his customers are happy with his team whether large or small jobs. The design for our garden was very creative and added in things we hadn't thought of. We finalized the design quickly and he made up for lost time on engagement ensuring our garden was immediately installed. This was the level of service I was hoping for in reading other reviews and his company certainly made up for the initial problems that occurred. I would definitely recommend them and we will be engaging them again for our next project. Our garden looks great!!

I neglected to leave a review on the great work done in my yard last summer. The new walkway is beautiful and durable and will last forever. The stone border around the house has added to curb appeal. And the awesome retaining wall and beautification of a drain in our back yard is my favorite. All appointments kept and crew were nice, considerate, and very hard workers. Will definitely use again if I have more to be done in future.

Shawn (the owner) and his team were professional and focused on meeting my needs from day one. Even in this hyper busy time for home-improvement firms, VisionScapes was most interested in doing what was best for me. I had a number of backyard improvements designed and completed, including arbor paving replacement, a new firepit circle, and several other walking path enhancements. All of these features beautifully tied the entire backyard together and added bit of refinement. Post installation, the staff returned a few days later and finished up several finishing touches. Very well done, and I will partner with them again!

Shawn from Visionscapes created a fantastic design for our backyard space and delivered 100%! We had no idea what we wanted the space to look like at the start, Shawn listened and came back with ideas that were spot on...pool, pool house with pavers and landscaping. The team was all top notch with great attention to detail. We are very happy with the follow through and highly recommend their services.

Shawn Anderson personally managed the construction of our new brick walkway. His crew was terrific! See for yourself how nice it turned out. We didn't want pavers that ultimately have weeds, but rather an old-fashioned mortared brick walkway. They poured a concrete base and laid the brick on top to prevent shifting over time. It is 5' wide, allowing 2 people and/or a wheelchair to traverse. Soon it will look like it was original to this house. Thank you Visionscapes.

After many attempts at landscaping around our pool only resulting in dead plants and an embankment full of weeds, we called Visionscapes for professional help, and they did not disappoint. Shawn came out and designed a plan for us. We had a planned event scheduled and they were able to have the job completed ahead of schedule. Cam’s crew and his crew were polite, hard working, and on time. We could not be happier with the results. I highly recommend Visionscapes!

From the on-set, Shawn and the VisionScapes Team were true professionals. From problem solving functional (drainage and grading) issues to aesthetic design challenges (stone materials, turf and plantings) they made us comfortable with their approach and most importantly with the amazing results! In a world where finding reputable contractors can be challenging, VisionScapes did what they said what they said they would do, when they said they would do it. Simply put we could not be more pleased and feedback from neighbors, friends and those who have come by to see their work. Compliments range from "Wowww" to "Bad A**)! This is our second successful project with VisionScapes and we look forward to the next...Thanks Shawn!

Shawn, Steve, Camden and their entire crew were EXCEPTIONAL! I didn't go through Visionscapes for my pool install, my mistake, and I had a mini crisis because the pool guy didn't explain a certain requirement. Shawn and Steve came to the rescue and solved the crisis asap!
I am more than happy with the oasis they helped create in my backyard. 😊😎
See for yourself...

Shawn Anderson and crew transformed my yard from very boring to very amazing... A full-service landscape architect firm, Visionscapes did all the planning and documentation required by the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Board. After two years, I still get compliments on how amazing the transformation has been. If you want the job done right the first time, call Shawn and Visionscapes.

A Team,
Wow!! What a project your Ocean Shore has been. My biggest regret is that I did not call you 1st, BUT Amy and I are very fortunate that we got connected to your team. I apologize for ALL the curveballs, delays and some bullshit that our project threw into your normal, well deserved, busy schedule. Thank you for staying the course on the “vision” and attending to every small detail that turns a good project into a great project. As a “small business” owner myself, it is inspiring to see others that care about communicating, details and doing whatever it takes to make the client happy. It has been a long process BUT your team kick serious ass! My home looks amazing, like you said it would, and we could not be any happier. The best part of this ordeal is I feel like I have met new friends that I cannot wait to recommend to anyone that wants to enhance their landscaping. If you ever need references, I am your guy. Thank you for your effort, patience, professionalism, and friendship. Amy and I wish you and your family the most Merriest of Christmas and hope 2026 brings nothing but good health, good times and happy hearts. Last thing I need from you: Next spring/summer- family party at my house. THANK YOU!! J&A

This is our second project with Visionscapes. They are a wonderful local family run company. Their services from planning through installation are professional and tailored to the needs and preferences of the homeowners. We truly appreciate their communication skills throughout the process and the way they care for the existing property. Our first project continues to receive compliments even 5 years later. Thank you Sean and Camden for your excellence in art and landscape science fields.

Was so glad I found Couillard landscaping. Met and discussed ideas, Sean came back with excellent ideas, provided his local knowledge, ideas, and a sensible plan. I look forward to a long term relationship and planning of future work. A pleasure to do business with did what he said and more.

Sean is very concerned with the happiness of his customers. He does excellent work. He gave great advice and transformed my back yard! We’re very happy with his work.

Sean was a pleasure to work with. He showed up when he told me when to expect him. Very knowledgeable about plants and was able to get me three additional plants from my existing plant as well as cleaning up the dead wood in it. He cleared off an unwanted shoot from an existing tree. As well as did a beautiful job mulching all our flower beds with 9 yards of mulch. I highly recommend him and look forward to using his services in the future.

After multiple failed attempts to find a landscaper that would actually show up to give an estimate or start work post-estimate I finally found one that actually responded and started work! Working with Sean was seamless and he totally transformed the front of the house. His work is so good I am asking him back to design more curb appeal and take care of getting the overall yard in order! I highly recommend you start with Sean! Of note- I did not even come up with the design. Sean did!

Sean did an amazing job on our landscaping project!

He is very creative in landscape and hard scape designs, and very skilled at blending the hard and soft features. His work created an extremely pleasant visual for the front and side of our home!!

He laid an extremely aesthetic brick herringbone walkway which connected our driveway to our side yard, it included a well built landing that connected to the garage side door and created a space to store our trash bins, no more dragging them in the mud!

I Highly recommend him for your landscaping needs.

Another great job!

Very personable, professional and knowledgeable owner. Very fair prices for quality service.

Hands down the best I will never use any other landscaper the best in 757 !!!!

I've known Nick Snipes for years and there is no one more honest and hardworking! He has an amazing team and they do phenomenal work!

The work that Nick and his crew were able to accomplish while following the Virginia Marine Resource & Corp of Engineers guidelines have save our shoreline for another generation to enjoy.
