Element transformed our overgrown jungle into a relaxing, restful garden and patio that is both functional and beautiful. They were incredibly responsive and the work was high quality.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I hired Element Outdoor Living to transform my under-construction home’s backyard. I met with Ali, my design specialist, to set budget, provide information on wants, and how we would use the backyard as part of our homes living space. Ali was wonderful to work with as she was friendly, responsive, and clearly listened while we worked to finalize our plan. Plus, she handled all the communications and approvals needed for our HOA. We then worked with John for our hardscape, gas, and electric installations. John was also great partner on this project. Regular check ins, updates, and on site management of my project made me confident that I was receiving a quality build. Once the hardscape areas were almost completed, Drew led the planting process. Drew and his team continued to impress! They worked daily to bring Ali’s design to life. Their knowledge and hard work on drainage, trees, plants, and irrigation has transformed my backyard into an oasis. I couldn’t be happier with the people, process, and of course the results. GREAT Job Team. I look forward to the next project. All companies should operate this way. Less

My design specialist, Ali, listened to my ideas and produced a lovely plan. She also helped modify the original plan to accommodate my financial needs while keeping the essence of the plan. Appreciate the professionalism of all the other people involved as well as the timely response to all my questions.

We have used Element for the past 5 years, starting when our home was constructed. Element designed our entire yard, enhancing spaces around existing trees and hardscape, the the result is simply beautiful! Their team is one of the hardest working, competent, nice and thorough teams I've ever encountered.

Element exceeds our expectations every time, and I recommend them to all my friends. I am not a frequent online reviewer, but for the Element team...I Highly Recommend! Less

They did an excellent job on a large project! Would recommend them to a business owner or residential home.

They did a wonderful job did for our commercial job! True professionals and great work. Highly recommend.

I asked for a landscape design for my front yard. They said it would be $1500.00 upfront. I agreed and they asked me for a budget I said about $15,000.00.

They should have just said they can't do anything for $15,000.00 or submitted a plan at least in the neighborhood of $15,000. So I have a plan that is worthless and wasted the $1500. If I was building a house and said the budget was $200,000. would an architect draw up a plan for a $600,000. house instead..I don't think so they were very dissapointing and unprofessional. Less

We have worked with Element Outdoor Living for many years. The overall experience is exceptional. It’s not often that I feel like I get more than my money’s worth... but that’s what it always looks like and feels like after every job they have done for us.

I was a bit nervous at first because we had such a big job to do with choking vines and all types of overgrowth. They were able to do the cleanup with no damage to my exterior property! I am forever grateful!

Best in town. Highly recommend

We hired Element Outdoor Living to revamp an area of our backyard that was unused space. Josh and his team delivered his design proposal with professionalism and exceeded my expectations! We love our natural fire pit and palm trees!

We are very happy with the work we had done at our house. Josh and his team were professional, courteous and asked us questions along the way. We had a lot of clean-up done, as well as some stuff moved around and a couple new plants brought in. We cannot believe how good our yard looks now - just hope it lasts!

Element folks have outstanding expertise in area plants, an eye for design, appreciation for setting and style, listen well and adapt to your ideas and wishes, and pay careful attention to detail. I am more than happy with the results!

Our new home has a natural backyard that was begging for some color and some design interest.

Great experience from beginning to end and my yard looks amazing!!!!

Great team! Great work! Couldn’t be happier with the services provided. Will use again for the next project and will refer to others.

Very responsive! Quality workmanship!

Great crews from the top to the bottom. I’ve worked with these guys multiple times in the past few years and they always show up on time and ready to work. Couldn’t ask for a better more professional landscape/maintenance company. Can’t wait to have them back for some more work!!

What a great company!! We’ve never been happier with our landscaping. Josh was so knowledgeable and detail oriented. I would recommend Element for any and all of your yard enhancement and maintenance needs!! Thanks so much!!

The staff at Element Outdoor Living are top notch professionals.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Element the past couple of years as a sub contractor. They’re professionalism and quality of work is what I strive to produce in my own business!! Great job guys!!

Professional and well educated in outdoor living spaces. New construction and remodeling projects are outstanding!

Exelent company of landscaping

It was an absolute pleasure working with Element from Alyssa creating our design, to Jarod overseeing the project, and finally to their fantastic employees and all their hard work that made the design a reality. All of them met every expectation.

Element Outdoor Living is a quality service landscape design company that cares about their clients. Their design passion shows in every detail of their work, from the office to the field. Thank you, Element, for all of your hard work and for making living outdoors more beautiful!

These guys are simply the best in the business. Some of the most influential people in our community regularly have Element Outdoor trucks out in front of their homes.

Everyone we have interacted with from Element has been a pleasure to speak with. Appointments are kept. Teams show up as planned. Details discussed are taken care of. Element is a first class operation!

It’s only a few weeks after switching to Element, and my yard looks the best ever! Great service. Great team.

Element Outdoor Living is second to none if you have a larger project that needs vision and a high-level attention to detail. We have worked with them for over a year now and it's no mystery to me why they tend to work with the very best locally. Amazing vision and design!

We have worked with Element from its beginning. In the course of three major projects over 10 years Blair Walton and his team have consistently come up with creative ideas but also listened and adapted them whenever we asked. Good collaboration. His crews are exceptional men and women who take as much pride in their work as Blair himself does. We always look forward to the next project with them.

A high end company that does large projects. Neighbor's project beautiful. Would not recommend for what they call "enhancement." That is a much smaller project. Value and follow through were disappointing.

When you combine enthusiasm for your work, a driven work ethic, and artistic landscape design you get Element Outdoor Living. Blair and his team of professionals were great to work with from design to finished product. For us, it was trust the process and to finally see Blair's vision came to fruition...well that's excellence. Thank you for our beautiful space!

From front to back and side to side, Element Outdoor Living provides outstanding maintenance and design services for your yard. Whether you are looking for an outstanding landscape plan, maintenance for your property, and/or a total redesign of your outside space, Element Outdoor Living is the company you should contact. We contacted Element a year ago to maintain our property. They won us over quickly by their professionalism and reliability, and from there we made our choice to employ them for our design/build process. From our initial call, to throughout the project, Blair (the owner), and each and every employee we have had the pleasure of working, Jarod, Josh, Jeff, Nadia, Michelle, and their crews, always kept us informed and answered all of our questions in a timely fashion. With Blair’s keen sense of design and love of the outdoors, he created our perfect backyard oasis. While working on this project, all of the craftspeople were respectful, responsible, and kept the job site clean each day after they left. Jarod (the project manager), made sure the project moved along with great attention to detail. Jeff (landscape installation manager) provided excellent on-site expertise and supervision to ensure optimal installation with the best plant material available. Josh (maintenance supervisor) makes sure our property is beautifully and meticulously maintained, and looks its best year round. We are in love with the finished project and couldn’t be happier with all the services that Element provides. They take great pride in their work and the results are outstanding. We highly recommend them without hesitation. Jim and Maureen Less

I could write a book, and I have. But all I'm going to say is I should of stop them from the very first mistake. Beware of a company that only has five stars all the time.They should have waited to do my job when they were able to do it correctly. They did try to make it right,but to little to late.comunication sucks.

Great experience - start to completion Element was fantastic to work with. From my first conversation with the designer to the last crew member to leave my yard, they were professional and courteous. Our designer really listened to our needs and preferences and incorporated both into our amazing design. It was a terrific decision to hire Element.

Josh and his crew did an excellent job of cleaning up our back yard and installing sod. We love that we now added more yard for our young son to play on for years to come! Everyone that we dealt with at Element was professional and friendly. We will be recommending them to family and friends!

Everyone at Element is such a pleasure to work with! Josh, Nadia, Blair and each of the other employees always have smiles on their faces each time I do business with them. The quality of their work is unparalleled in this area. I highly recommend Element and their team for any of your landscaping, property maintenance and/or other outdoor projects!

Getting to see how the Element team works, and treats their customers and projects, has been such a rewarding experience! They treat each project with the same passion and attention to detail that you would expect if they were working on their own piece of property. It's that integrity & quality workmanship that puts their clients' minds at ease, knowing they chose the right team!

Joshua Tree loves caring for trees on properties designed and maintained by Element Outdoor Living! These guys do a super job!

Element has done an excellent job servicing one of our commercial properties for the past two years. Our property is one of the best maintained properties. They also take special care of my personal residence twice a year. I highly recommend!

Josh and JJ have been fantastic to work with. Very knowledgeable on what our lawn needs and how to treat it. My wife and I are looking forward to working with them on some installation we have coming up

I was referred to Element Outdoor by a friend for landscaping on my new home. Competitive quote, above and beyond customer service, and transparency throughout the process. I was given the freedom to customize my package based on my budget and needs. I'm loving the way my yard looks when I get home in the evening! Would recommend to anyone considering professional landscape design.

Great experience, fast and top notch service. Josh Graham was great to deal with.

We had Element design and install our landscape update and it is spectacular. We could not be more pleased. The workers were all very hard workers, courteous and professional. Design by Alyssa and Management by Jeff was excellent. I recommend Element Outdoor Living for your landscape upgrade.

We are new to the Wilmington area. The people at ELEMENT have been incredible as we get settled into our new home. From mowing, clean up, and seasonal yard care to offering references for other services and giving us peace of mind and assistance before and after Dorian, they have been amazing. I highly recommend Josh and the whole ELEMENT team.

We have been used Element for New Construction landscape/design and weekly maintenance for three years now. I can say enough about the team, we have been very pleased and our yard looks great. Element is very fair in pricing, always on time, the service is great and the communication is excellent.

Element helped us design a beautiful landscaping “renovation “ - mixing in new design with existing plants. And even better with their maintenance services, we know our landscaping investment is in great hands! Highly recommend!

Element has maintained and enhanced my yard for the last few years. They do an outstanding job of communicating and automating. They are consistent and hire above average workers. They cost a bit more than average but they are exceptional in their service and expertise.

Blair, Jeff and team recently completed an overhaul of our backyard. Their design work was exceptional. We received prompt attention to all of our requests and they patiently and professionally worked with us throughout the project. Plus, the project was on time and under budget. Impossible combination to beat!

I have been working with Element for a little over a year as a hardscapes subcontractor. The whole project team is excellent to work with, from bidding to execution of the project. Would highly recommend the Element team to anyone looking for a complete landscape package.

Element did the installation of all our landscaping when we first built our house. Four years later they’ve been maintaining our property and it still looks beautiful!

Our property looks great thanks to the maintenance crews at Element. We have the best looking yard on the street.

After the hurricane my yard destroyed my yard, Element came in and helped me redesign the yard. They listened to what I wanted and proposed a great upgrade. They leverages plants that were there and came up with a great final design. They were able to complete the work and the yard looks great. Thank you once again for the great job! Looking forward to a long relationship.

Blair and the staff are great to work with always a pleasure -thanks

Blair did 707 Magnolia Ave Carolina beach for us....his design complemented the house. Great design and great install! Thanks John Jarvis
