4 Star Testimonial by Steve Hardgrove
Dr Dan’s Landscaping recently completed several projects at my home, which included a 10x16 shed, a large stamped concrete patio, two dry wells, a grill station, and new fence gate. The subcontractors used to build the shed were very efficient and completed their work in 2 days, their work was made easier by material precut at their facility reducing the time needed onsite. The grill station was built by a separate subcontractor who Dr Dan uses (Jay), his work was superior and of high quality. The 2 dry wells were dug out and completed before the patio install which has helped with drainage, the crew completed their work in near 100 degree weather but were very efficient and quick workers.
Project management and communication could have been better at times, but the short or no notice of work crew arrival times were made easier with me being retired and at home most days. Like everyone else, Dr Dan’s company and the subcontractors continue to suffer with short handed and often unreliable staff and that influenced some of the delays.
Very happy with the end project(s).
Very professional landscapers. They have some of the hardest workers that removed seven stumps, roots, from previous grove of trees, on both sides of our new Vinly Fence. They restored my underground water system, replaced two heads and added new zones to cover the new Sod Placement on both sides of the fence. They brought the best tillers, ditch witches, and two heavy transport trucks to complete my yard. The Water Pump was replaced with the best in the industry - not the Home Depot and Lowe’s specials that fail in a year. The Irrigation Subcontractor was very experience in his trade and his crew was the best.
Professional Work requires professional people and Dr Dan’s crew is tops.

This is the second time I've used Dr Dan's service. Dan comes out and takes the time to really listen to what you want and works with you on how to make it happen. His wife in the office is great also! A class act. I highly recommend.

Outstnding service from initial proposal ,with the Dr.Dan team ,to interactions with the owner .We were completely satisfied with the work. I would highly reccomend Dr. Dan's for your largest to your smallest need. We have lived in Hampton roads since 1993 and have used many contractors. This company ranked up as one of the best we have worked with.

Weston and his team transformed my backyard and installed a drainage system. The work they performed exceeded expectations. They went above and beyond removing clay and installed soil and sod. Dr. Dan uses only the best materials and his teams are fast and effective.

My experience was better than I could have ever expected! They completed outstanding professional work and went above and beyond our expectations. We had a fence line cleared out and holly trees out in. Without question they saved and moved the plants we wanted to keep. They even mulched the extra areas around where we asked them to replant our “old” bushes. So easy to work with, highly recommend!

10/10 would choose again. Dr. Dan and his team came over and visualized a plan with my situation and within my budget. Had concrete put in with dry wells to fix the job. The entire team was very professional and genuinely cared about the job and quality of work. It took a while to research and find the right person for the job, if you’re stuck and can’t decide, choose Dr. Dan.

Dr. Dan was my one-stop shop for a very thorough. comprehensive. and massive backyard project. His company designed, planned, and managed it all to completion. They coordinated multiple, major jobs (clearing old, worn- out gardens, flower beds, trees, and bushes), replaced backyard fence, cut down/hauled away a massive oak tree, repaired sprinkler systems, leveled/graded the backyard, and put exceptional, thick sod. Yard is now massive and simple - as i wanted.
Dr Dan's workers were exceedingly reliable, professional, and accomodating, subcontractors were just as good. Weston, Lead foreman, was exceptional, leading a team who worked hard and well together, every one of them so respectful and courteous. We were blown away! It was not cheap, but Dr. Dan was right from the beginning--the quality in product, installation, and delivery was worth it. Very happy with the results!

Dr. Dan's designed and created a beautiful landscaping feature at our home in Virginia Beach. I can't say enough good things about the process and the people. The crew went above and beyond to make the process and work timely and super professional. Everyone I met from the crew to the owner were amazing - professional, friendly and timely. This company clearly has a great culture of client centered professionalism. No doubt that when I need anything else for my outdoor space, Dr. Dan's will be the only call I make!

Dr. Dan, Leighann and Dena were all very great Dr. Dan came to my home multiple times before and during the project to check on the progress on. Leighann came to do my estimate and was very proactive and Dena was in constant communication with me through the whole process. All of the gentleman that worked on my home or on time they cleaned up and we’re in constant communication to make sure that the project is going great. I am super happy with the results and I definitely will be using Dr. Dan’s for any and everything moving forward.

Great quality of work. Jay, Ken and Lee worked well together and created my piecemeal projects and unusual visions. Loraine and Dr Dan made sure everything was to our specs. We had cedar siding and window repair along with the new fence and shed.
For big projects I suggest you go with professionals like Dr Dan Landscaping. Thanks

Dr. Dan’s Landscaping was a great company to work with. They had great communication, which is key for me. Mr. Dan came out regularly to check on the jobs being done. Would considering using them again in the future.

We moved into our house in 2020 and for three years have not been able to see grass grow in this area of our backyard. It constantly floods even from the smallest amount of rain and takes well over a week to drain, leaving a mud pit for our dogs to track into the house. We reached out to Dr. Dan’s and from start to finish their business was done in a timely and professional manner. We had three dry wells dug, entire yard aerated, flooded area was backfilled, and yard was seeded. The job was completed sooner than the quoted time (which we greatly appreciated) and Dr. Dan, Lorraine, and the whole team were incredible with professionalism, responsiveness, and answering any questions we had along the way. We are grateful to finally have our yard back and will be using Dr. Dan’s for any projects in the future!

I had some pretty severe drainage issues around my patio. After attempting to tackle this by myself I quickly realized I was out of my league. Dr. Dan and his team were very responsive and knew exactly how to solve my issues. Consultation/estimate were done very quick and there was no “let me call the other guy” delays. The dry wells and drain fields they made gave my patio a much needed overhaul and have made the space much more enjoyable for my family. 10/10

Our home has always had water drainage issues. Originally we went with a company that recommended a sump pump. While it helped short term, it was definitely not a permanent solution as it tripped the breaker constantly and we had to continuously clear the backed up city drain from leaves and debris. It was a lot of additional work. When we returned home (military move) 3 years later it was no longer turning on and we were over it. After searching, we found Dr Dan's and while there was a 6 week wait for an initial consultation, we were just happy to have found a company that had the right qualifications/experience to truly help us. Lorraine came out and saw our space and listened to our concerns. She was confident that dry wells were our best bet to address the flooding issue. They required no raking and no electricity, they made sense. She laid out a phased approach that would address the flooding issue first.. but then she also took her spray can and drew out exactly what we could have in our space to truly enjoy it. It was what I had been dreaming of and WAY more. The huge curved 1400+ sqft concrete patio complete with a bubbled out firepit and a pavilion. The landscape cleanup around our trees. She opened up the idea of ripping out our deck that at this point had been destroyed by the flooding and just made us envision this fresh new start to backyard living. She really heard what we wanted and incorporated everything. The quote was very reasonable and we said yes because as soon as the work was to be done, we could finally have the backyard that we had been dreaming of and it would all be done. There was no additional landscaping that we needed to do on our own, it wasn't like we had to go out and grab mulch or lift a finger for anything, it was all going to be done and we could not wait! Even the final result wasn't something that we as novices would have to struggle to maintain. It is simply grass, rocks, and mulch. It fit our lifestyle. In the weeks that followed we were introduced to Dr. Dan, he was very excited about the project and truly invested in the results. He came over several times to ensure our concrete design was symmetrical, that the pavilion was in the exact spot I wanted, that we got the electrical wired to the posts before concrete was poured, that our water issues would be addressed. He really took great care and attention into our project. It made me feel confident that we chose the right company. He introduced us to the various teams that we would be working with and communicated exactly what we had discussed with everyone involved so there was no miscommunication we were all involved each step of the way. Each of Dan's contractors and employees were top notch. I can't speak more highly of them all. They were very professional each step of the way and took great care in their work. Since I work from home I was able to see them each time they came out and they really blew me away with how professional and kind they all were. After a few weeks we started seeing the vision come to life. The posts went up for the pavilion, the deck was removed, the dry wells put in, the concrete followed, the landscaping began. It was a rather quick process once it started and each day we were more excited. In my experience there is always something that goes wrong with a project of this magnitude, but not this time. Everything we did was so well thought out and discussed that the additional time spent in the planning phase really paid off and we got exactly what we wanted. Phase 3 of our project is about to begin and we love dry wells so much we have incorporated a few more along the side of our home. We now have a backyard space that we can enjoy with our family, friends, and pets and it means the world to us. Oh and I'm sure this outdoor space has added at least 100K of value to our home, not that we would ever sell! It really is breathtaking stepping back there knowing that we live here and get to enjoy our whole property, finally.
