Just a quick update - Cameron did a great job in our backyard, it looks very professional and was done with an efficient effort in mind. Every inch of our backyard was used very effectively.
Cameron went above and beyond our expectations and did a wonderful job. We highly recommend Vanooardt landscaping to anyone interested in landscaping improvements.

Cameron did an excellent job at my boyfriend's house in Deer Ridge! The landscaping looks very well done and professional. Not to mention that he also went above and beyond by adding a few artificial trees which really gives the house a beautiful tropical vibe. Very well done!
