Absolutely unmatched quality and design. Their final product is unlike any other. You may be able to price shop for pools, patios, etc, but if you want your project to look like a high end resort…something you’ve never even seen at a home…you call Native and let them do the rest. I could not be more blown away with how they turned our “ideas” into a resort-style oasis that we will cherish forever. 5 stars honestly isn’t enough.

Jacob and his team not only created the most magical backyard for us, but were a pleasure to work with every step of the way. His team was kind and respectful of our property while on site, they were efficient, thorough, and readily available for any and all questions we had! Can’t recommend them enough!

Two workers came, worked very diligently digging to the irrigation connection to the main water line to examine connections. They replaced the BFD, also.

I called Native for a spring startup of my irrigation when I had a couple fitting breaks. They were fully booked, but one of the few that tried and succeeded fitting me in within a reasonable time of a week. The husband and wife team who came out where nice and very knowledgeable. They easily fixed the weird angled pipe fittings within a couple hours. They followed up the next day and then native followed up a week later. Great experience.

You can’t go wrong with using Native Nursery as your plant vendor! We have been using them for about 1.5 years now and have been nothing but impressed. The quality is great, communication is fantastic and the turn around time is good. We have even called when we were needing more plants on a jobsite and they had everything out to us within an hour. You couldn’t ask for better service from Hunter and the team and Native!

I had a vague idea of what I wanted when I first called Native Design. They listened to what I wanted, were honest about what could work, gave me great ideas, and made it come to life. I love to have friends and family over and we now have a beautiful place to share with them. Highly recommend.

I initially contacted a different company to undertake a comprehensive project that would include hardscaping, landscaping, irrigation, lighting, and the construction of a pergola. Regrettably, after two weeks of progress, the company abruptly ceased work and became unresponsive to my attempts at communication. It had been recommended to me by colleagues to call Native Design to rectify the situation. Jacob conducted a meticulous assessment of the project and offered creative direction, practical solutions, and a range of options tailored to various budget considerations. The experience, from start to finish, was nothing short of exemplary.

Native Nursery is by far the best wholesale nursery in Knoxville. Ted gets the best trees, conifers and shrubs that are top notch. If they don’t have it, Ted will get it! Additionally, Native has a huge selection of stone and they sell pine bark fines (hard to get in Knoxville).

Wow! Native Design was a pleasure to deal with from beginning to end. We had an issue with a fountain and our irrigation company recommended them. They were quick to respond, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend or use them again.

Native was recommended to me by my neighbors and I am very glad I gave them a try. I have an existing irrigation system and it had problems I couldn't sort out on my own. I called Native and Daniel and Sam came out and had it all sorted it out in just a couple hours. The system works better now than it did when it was brand new.

I hired this landscaping business expecting a professional and thorough design process, but the experience was far from that. The designer rushed through the initial consultation, and overlooked several key details of what I had in mind for the project . After nearly 6 weeks of waiting, I received blueprints that did not reflect what I had envisioned. The design did not match the discussed layout and had an inaccurate outline of the landscape, lacking labels and references of plants to specific parts of the project. Despite being promised a second set of detailed blueprints, all I received was a rough sketch sent via email with no real explanation. The designer also failed to provide any educational guidance on the various design elements, which I was hoping for, as I'm new to landscaping and wanted to better understand the options and decisions being made. To make matters worse, I was charged a consultation fee that was never discussed or approved. Overall, the lack of communication, follow-through, and transparency was very disappointing.

On a recent visit, I was impressed by the knowledgeable sales people. They have fair pricing and great advice. Landscaping is intimidating, and I don't know what I'm doing. They made me feel welcome and helped me find solutions to help resolve a problem area on my land where nothing would last through till next season. Much better than a chain big-box store!

I was pleasantly surprised that after calling Nature Design and Landscaping looking for someone to winterize my lawn sprinkler system, they were able to come out the very next day. Upon their arrival, I found out that they had travel to through a snow/traffic area, to get here. Most companies would.normally reschedule. I had made the mistake already of waiting too long to get this done, so I was happy they still came. They were an extremely friendly, nice couple, who did a great, thorough job. I recommend Nature for any job you may need done, to do a great job, and in a timely, fair priced way. I will definitely be using them for my future needs.

We had a great experience with Native Design. We had a landscape design before we met Jacob and he and his team took it to the next level. They installed 3 separate retaining walls, pool and patio decking, sod, lake supplied irrigation, well thought out landscape planting and placement , grading, stone walkways, driveway drainage, lot drainage, a driveway rock feature, and fencing to enclose our pool. The project was complicated given the slope of our lot and additions and challenges along the way. Jacob had an immediate and creative solution for each one. The crew was very courteous and respectful during the 16 week project. Jacob remained within budget and was fair when new expenses arose. It was impossible to anticipate every need up front, but he finished on time for us to get our house occupancy. We were not in the area during most of the project and he kept us up to date on the progress. He also worked well with our builder which was critical to stay on our timeline. The irrigation team walked me through my 12 zone system and explained in detail how it works and how to maintain it being supplied from a lake. We would definitely recommend Native Design and would have done more work directly with him had we met sooner in our project. We look forward to working with Jacob in the future with our landscape lighting later this year along with general maintenance of our property.

We couldn’t be more pleased with the incredible transformation Native Design & Hardscape brought to our backyard! From start to finish, their team was professional, creative, and attentive to every detail. We wanted to maximize the usability of our backyard and they absolutely delivered. The design they created includes stunning hardscaping features that have truly elevated our space. From the precisely laid flagstone fire pit/patio to the thoughtfully designed boulder wall, and lush landscaping, you wouldn’t think it could get any better. But it does! The accent lighting really takes it to the next level. The lighting highlights the key features beautifully and creates such a warm, inviting ambiance in the evenings. We are now blessed with the perfect outdoor space to relax and entertain guests, day or night. If you’re looking for a landscaping and hardscaping company that combines skill, creativity, and outstanding customer service, we highly recommend Native Design & Hardscape. They turned our dream backyard into a reality! - Jared & Amanda

I had a hill in the backyard that was covered in invasive plants and was too steep to be usable. Jacob and the crew at Native Design transformed that hill into a beautiful two-tiered wall with boulders. It is now a lovely space that gives me so much more room for my garden. I am absolutely thrilled with the result. I highly recommend Native Design and Landscaping.

I just recently signed up for spring and winterization services with Native Hardscapes And Design. About a week later, I discovered I had a leak in my irrigation system. I called Native for help and they were out the next day. The crew was very thorough and they explained each step of the repair needed to me along the way. When they were done they cleaned up thoroughly from the work that they did. I have been very pleased with their response and service and highly recommend.
