Campbell & Ferrara did a great job with landscaping at my end unit townhouse! I worked with Jeff, and he listened to my requests for low maintenance and drought resistant plants, and came up with creative ideas of his own. I was very happy with the plan and the installation, and Jeff was very responsive to my questions regarding watering and what to cut back in the Fall. I was very happy with the end result!

This experience far exceeded my already high expectations. There’s a whole list of good things starting with: they let me know when they were coming; they showed up exactly on time each day; they shared the design process and decision making; they transplanted healthy plants to other spots in the yard; they cleaned the heck out of the weeds in the bed - every last weed is gone!! They brought in beautiful healthy plants; they showed me how to water them; they mulched everywhere. They tidied everything up. I got great value for the cost. And the cost was reasonable!! This is the first and smaller project of two they are doing for us. I’m looking forward to having them back and can’t wait to see how beautiful it will be when finished. I highly recommend this company.

Campbell & Ferrara just completed a softscape project in our back yard and we are super happy with the results. We worked with Christopher Myer, who was professional and great to work with. We started off by meeting at our property and describing what we wanted to accomplish. Soon after, Chris had a full proposal for our back yard. His proposal was comprehensive and even included potential substitutes/options to the plants in the main design. From there, we scaled it back to meet our budget, and revised the design a couple of times until we were happy with it and the cost. Chris was receptive during the design reviews while still ensuring the right plants were being picked for the desired locations (ie amount of light/water/etc).Once the design was locked in, we had a bit of a wait until the project started, but that was our fault for starting the process so late in the season. Once the crew started the work in earnest, they were done in 3 days. Everything is now planted and looking great. We can't wait for everything to take root and start growing. I'm sure by this time next year our back yard will look amazing.Thanks again, Chris.

We called Campbell & Ferrara for advice and cost estimate to build a low retaining wall. From inception to completion it was a pleasure to work with a team of professionals. We were informed of the project schedule and updated on the progress which was completed on time. The choices of pollinator plants and placement of boulders in the landscape was the icing on the cake. We are very happy with the outcome. If you have a landscape project in mind, don’t hesitate to call Campbell and Ferrara for expert design suggestions.

Beautiful design and excellent execution. Peter Rhyne and his team did a terrific job and were very accommodating of our indecision over exactly what we wanted.Update: Three years later, Peter and his teams continue to do excellent work for us, whether it's landscaping our pond, installing a new wooden fence with several 6x6 tall posts, or hardscaping a section of our backyard. I couldn't recommend Peter or Campbell & Ferrara more!

4.5 - Chris and the Campbell & Ferrara Team did a great job on our backyard landscaping project. They worked with us to tailor the design to our needs and executed the project in a timely fashion. The work quality was high with the exception of the initial foundation on our new shed, which took some re-work due to the slope / location of the shed.

We did a substantial project in our yard last summer, including landscaping, hardscaping, and replacing our old deck with a screened in porch. We worked with Chris and he was absolutely fantastic to work with. He was very communicative, flexible with our schedule, and always available to answer questions, even after the project had ended. We had one small hiccup with our project (NOT the fault of Campbell and Ferrara or any of the subcontractors) and Chris handled it promptly and professionally. I would certainly work with Chris/Campbell Ferrara in the future and highly recommend them for your next project.

Amazing! My neighbors are now hiring them because they're so impressed with how great our path looks, how professionally the crew handled the work and cleanup, and how quickly the project was completed. It was a great experience start to finish, and Peter was responsive, creative, and great to work with. I'm just thrilled.
