The Parker Garden Team at work!

 
We found Bill Parker easy to work with both during the landscape design phase as well as the execution phase. We found Bill and his crew to be very friendly, professional and cooperative. We knew that Bill and/or his crew would be on site on the day and time we were promised. While our new home site presented some major challenges we are very happy with the end result. The bottom line is that we would not hesitate to recommend Parker Garden Design in the future.
