EXCELLENT Based on 10 reviews Posted on Google Sheila ReddTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could have given more than 5 stars, I certainly would have. I have a beautiful wisteria plant that is supported by a pergola. The pergola was on its last legs, literally. I needed someone who would know how to save my wisteria and build a new pergola. Larry came and explained in detail what it would take to accomplish this. We signed a contract. Larry came with his workers, who were excellent, and, voila, I had a new, beautiful pergola. I was so pleased I asked Larry if his company did fences. Another contract, and I have a new fence. I am so pleased and grateful to Larry. Any work I need going forward and Larry and Lakota Design Group are my number one choice. Thank you so much.Posted on Google Michelle HoffmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Larry and team did a fabulous job on our project--from design, to installation to completion. They also went above and beyond to ensure safe access to the house while the work was being done.Posted on Google Norm WoodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our backyard was established over 35 years with trees, roses, gardens, wooden decks, . and children play areas. Termites, wood rot, general earth movement took their toll. We wanted a safer, and cleaner design without impacting the mature gardens and established plants. We had no idea what we wanted. Lakota Design provided that insight. They inspected the backyard, asked questions,took pictures, provided an initial design, reviewed the design layout, provided an estimated cost, and revised the design based on the input. The final design was put out for bid. We selected Lola’s Landscape and associate of Lakota Design. The contractor and crew were knowledge, experienced, and friendly. Lakota Design continued to be present throughout the project. We ended up with what we wanted. It looks great, and it’s easier to maintain.Posted on Google Damon EnnisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

He was very patient with us as we made revisions and provided guidance throughout the process to help us choose a design style that we loved. Larry also recommended a contractor who gave us a reasonable price compared to other bids we received. Larry managed the installation from start to finish, making it effortless on our part.
