Reviews for

Belfield Botanica

Ensuring our customers' vision for their property comes to life is our #1 priority. That, and making a healthier planet. They're the same, really...

Jacob does a great job with taking problematic landscaping/lawn issues and coming up with an affordable, beautiful, and practical way to address them. He installed a bioswale/rain garden to catch runoff from our house and our neighbor's house. It is planted with native plants that are absolutely thriving and require little maintenance from us. The kids all love the frogs, too! We had him replace our builder grade landscaping in the front garden and we have tons of bees, butterflies, and other pollinators all over the flowers all season. We also had him plant around the unsightly utility boxes and it is so much easier to mow. We love that he uses native plants, as they don't need a lot of upkeep and provide a lot of interest throughout the seasons. Whenever we need more garden work, he will be our first call.
