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.

Campbell & Ferrara have been great to work with. We brought them in to help us create a long-term front and backyard plan that we can execute in phases over time. The main priority was privacy plantings. We worked with Peter, and he took a lot of time to walk through our yard, get an idea of what we want for plantings, and suggested great resolutions that would maximize our budget. The crews that came onsite were great. Very thoughtful and efficient. C&F isn't cheapest option, but they also aren't overpriced. We needed someone that could help direct us and help us make good decisions that would last. We've done cheaper or self-execution in the past and have had to transplant remove, and replace - it honestly can end up being more expensive and more work in the long run. C&F will help you create a vision and work with you to create outdoor living that is best for you and your space!

Campbell and Ferrara has always been THE renowned landscaping company in the area. I assumed that they would not be within my budget, and was quite surprised at their competitive pricing and the extent of their professional service. Their landscape architect, Jeff Trafidlo, came to inspect the property and project. First of all, Jeff was friendly, warm and very patient. He listened carefully to what my thoughts and needs were. He was quite meticulous in studying the area under consideration. Jeff presented a very creative and professional proposal with elaborate drawings and detailed estimates. The estimate was, indeed, the final cost. I credit that to Jeff’s exacting evaluation of the project. He also showed up daily to inspect and supervise.The crew worked tirelessly, showing up early each day and working through some pretty horrendous weather. They showed exceptional talent in their stone and brick work. They were patient and exacting.Through the many years of construction and renovation on my home, this project went unparelled due to the degree of professionalism and talent of Jeff Trafidlo, as well as the crew’s hard work and craftsmanship.I would highly recommend Campbell and Ferrara, Jeff Trafidlo, and their crew to anyone, anyday!

Working with Peter has been great! Very patient despite numerous changes as well as stops and starts. We are in our first phase and the front of our home looks awesome! Can't wait to work on phase 2!!

Their attention to detail and commitment to quality is impressive, and they always left the area clean and tidy after each visit. If you’re looking for a landscaping company that delivers top-notch service and stunning results, Campbell Ferrara is the one to call!

Campbell & Ferrara has provided beautiful solutions for my landscaping needs. Peter Rhyne is very knowledgeable, has excellent ideas, is easy to contact, and is quick to respond. He cares about the environment and uses natives when possible. The crews are consistently on time, very hard-working, helpful, and friendly. I know if they plant it, it will survive. Clean-up is superior. One of the best things about Campbell & Ferrara is the outstanding quality of their plants.I’ve lived in my house for decades and used several landscape design firms. Campbell & Ferrara is the best I’ve found by far. Highly recommend!B. Zimmer

My front yard was filled with mature shrubs and was definitely in need of a refresh. I had used Campbell and Ferrara many years ago with excellent results so they were my first and only choice. I was very happy with the professional and pleasant Campbell and Ferrara staff--from the landscape designer, Jeff Trafidlo, to Oscar, the crew chief, and all the workers. Jeff listened to what I wanted and made good suggestions. The work was done in a timely manner removing the old and replacing with beautiful new shrubs. The crew left the yard and surrounding hardscape cleaner than they found it. Heartily recommend!

We are very pleased with the transformation of the front of our house and the hillside by our pool. The crew was so hardworking and efficient. They did a beautiful job creating Peter's landscaping design for us even though the topography of the hillside wasn't easy to work with. We highly recommend Campbell & Ferrara and Peter Rhyme.

We interviewed several companies before settling on Campbell & Ferrara (and more specifically Chris!) and couldn't be happier with our choice. Not only are we extremely happy with the end result, but we so appreciated the flexibility with our ever-shifting timeline due to a delayed construction project with another company. Highly recommended!
