It was such a pleasure working with Legacy. Nelson was right on time (which doesn't seem to happen at all any more) and his crew got my two jobs done in one day. I love the end result and couldn't be happier with what they did for me. I am looking forward to using Legacy again for projects next Spring.

Where to start! I feel like we've gained an outdoor landscaping partner for the long haul. We had a huge tree fall in our yard from our neighbors house this spring. (we live close to Virginia Highlands) It destroyed the front yard. We were looking to re-do the front flower beds anyway and then realized after this we needed an entirely new lawn. We got multiple quotes for a full sod restoration. (changed from fescue to Zoysia) Working with Nelson and his entire team at Legacy Outdoor Living was an absolute pleasure! It's rare to find a company that communicates well from start to finish in the landscaping business. Outdoor stuff does not always go as planned but Nelson did a good job being in constant contact as we dealt with the natural ebbs and flows of the calendar due to weather, etc. Nelson spent a lot of time with us on the front end of the project discussing vision, time frame, expectations, etc. He was quick on his quote turnaround and was sensitive to all of our requests, including budget. (Legacy is very reasonable and we feel were the best value out of all the quotes we got) - plus you get what you pay for and these guys are well worth it! We had them take out all the existing destroyed fescue, replace with Zoysia and also take out all of our old and dying trees, shrubs and plants in our plant beds lining the house. The new yard and plant beds look exceptional! One thing Nelson will really try to work hard on, is helping you build out a yard that looks great, but is also manageable for a person without a "green" thumb- My wife and I are now excited about taking care of our new lawn as opposed to being intimidated by all the previous work needed to tend to an "over planted" front yard. (prior owner's doing) We cannot wait to use Legacy later this year on the back yard project! Nacho is awesome as well! Great to work with! Sincerely, HK A happy "in-town" Atlanta customer!

Nelson was absolutely amazing from the moment he called me regarding our project. He clearly has a special vision and was able to help us rebuild our backyard from scrap. He was very professional, trusting and informative. He gave us ideas we’d never thought of and helped us with our strict budget. I wish i had the money to redo our entire yard with Nelson’s vision. He also is very prepared and goes above and beyond to show you the entire layout even down to the type of tree he plans to plant. We appreciated all of Nelson and legacy’s help. A++ in our book.
