"Phillip was thoughtful, detailed, professional, and clear in his communications. He transformed our back yard from a sloped, useless space to something beautiful. The yard was practically created from nothing. His team built a 4-ft high retaining wall, backfilled with gravel, geofabric, dirt and topsoil, and then installed a beautiful patio made of interlocking pavers. Phillip and his team are the BEST!"
"Southern touch landscaping is the most professional company I have ever dealt with. There work is top tier. They go out of their way to please the customer. Their designs for landscaping are beautiful. They turn my small property into a show stopper."
"Phillip just did two jobs for me that included hardscaping, landscaping and sod installation. I could not be more pleased with the results! The plants that he put in are gorgeous and of the best quality. They are thriving. He and everyone who works on his crew are the sweetest and hard workers and left my property in perfect condition."
"We couldn't be more pleased with the job this company did removing three very large trees from our property. The crew handled everything with professionalism and skill from start to finish. They arrived when they said they would, worked efficiently, and took great care to protect our property. Excellent work."
"I’ve done several landscaping projects with Phillip and his team. They are reasonably priced, professional and incredibly knowledgeable. They execute everything flawlessly, and leave every project clean and tidy. I highly recommend for any landscape projects!"
"Phillip designed and poured geometric walk ways along both sides of the house, installed drainage to redirect run off, and extended the patio pad to accommodate a pergola. He's always on time and on budget. No surprises. We're looking forward to working with Phillip next year."
"Great company. Phillip and crew show up everyday with the proper equipment. They worked late until the project was completed. I’m a retired Building Contractor. I was impressed and happy with the level of expertise and care taken by STL."
"We watched the process from our deck and were so impressed we hired Southern Touch to install stone steps from our driveway to our backyard. They were punctual, professional, courteous, great attention to detail and the job was completed as promised. Plus they are the nicest folks!"
