We had a terrible drainage problem
with our yard before we hired ALW. The mud would literally suck the
shoes off your feet! This made our yard unusable for most of the
year. It was ugly and unattractive. In addition, cleaning up after
our dogs was a constant, frustrating mess.
We were very pleased with the way Lance listened to us and took
our needs and desires into consideration when creating his plan.
He and his crew were so courteous and professional. Plus, they
were careful of our existing landscaping and so tidy and clean.
We got to know our crew and really like them as people, as well
as loving the work they did for us.
We are continually delighted with the landscape that Lance and
his crew created for us. Our backyard is the talk of the neighborhood.
It's everything that we wanted. Now we no longer feel that we "have" to
go away for vacation, since we have our very own little resort
right outside our door!

I had been surface weeding
for years, but in the spring of 2002 my back temporarily 'seized
up'...and along with it, my yard maintenance schedule. By the end
of summer the bank was an out of control disaster.
We knew Lance & Laurie Brakefield personally, but had never actually
seen any of ALW jobs. You could say we 'stepped out in faith' based
on their personal integrity and reputation. A year later we are very
pleased the way the job went and the professional results.
Lance gave us the option of coming in and cleaning the surface, or
going a step further and bringing in a small backhoe to completely
remove the weeds and put in fresh topsoil and plants. We were concerned
about the possibility of the backhoe damaging our driveway, or causing
problems with the neighbors, but the crew was cautious and skilled.
The whole job only took a few days. They left the neighbors' side
of the retaining wall in better condition than they found it, and
of course our side looked wonderful!
Lance communicated his ideas well. He spent time determining the
look we wanted, what kind of plantings we liked, (& didn't like),
and then gave his suggestions. We knew what was happening and what
was going where the whole time, so there were no surprises. At the
completion of the job he gave us some simple suggestions on how to
keep it looking good with very low maintenance...just what we wanted!
