Here's what customers are saying about Cross Creek Landscaping:

My entire experience with all Cross Creek staff involved, was outstanding.  The experience was refreshing --  to see the entire group of employees involved exceed expectations and contractual agreements. Ironically,  I had a deck renovation occurring simultaneously to the landscape renovation, which was pretty much the exact opposite experience and result.  From my initial meeting with Austin, to his plan adjustments to conform to my budget., to completion was all great.  I appreciated being kept informed as install dates shifted due to weather and workload. The actual installers were very very hard working, professional,  and conscientious. I tried to keep them hydrated during the heat, as well as supplied with extra vegetables from our vegetable garden.  I hope the unused perennials removed, can be put to good use in other employees'  gardens.  I appreciate the fact that the project probably became larger then initially envisioned, due to the amount of old growth material which was removed and hauled away. Thank you again for that.
Thanks, and I look forward to watching the plan grow and
​mature over the years.

Dennis and the crew from Cross Creek did another outstanding landscaping job at our home. We very much appreciated the fantastic effort made by your team (on-time, courteous, professional, extra efforts). Thanks again to Austin for the plan and all of your folks involved in the installation.

Stefi & Wayne did an awesome job! They both worked hard & listened to my instructions. We appreciated their great attitudes & willingness to do the job well. I was amazed about how quickly our project was completed. Wayne had a tough job digging up the hollies & the other four large bushes. I know it must have been difficult for Wayne to keep up his strength to get all of those hollies out of the ground. Stefi was kind to blow our leaves in the back yard off of the grass into our wooded area. Very thoughtful. Stefi & Wayne are wonderful team. They seem to get along well together. I definitely would recommend them to anyone. Austin did a wonderful job in helping us with our landscaping project. Thanks!

I would like to comment on the wonderful yard improvement job the Cross Creek team did for me. They placed a border, filled in with stone, and cemented my uneven steps into my back yard. Michael was the team leader and the job he and his workers did was nothing less than awesome. He not only leveled my steps, but placed stones in the concrete to give it that really professional look with a finishing touch. I love it. I did not expect him to go the extra mile. The team was very professional, helpful, and hard working! I couldn’t have asked for a better job. It looks so wonderful, I can’t stop looking at it. Thank you so much for giving me a back yard that solved several issues and that I can be proud of. I will not hesitate to contact you with any future jobs…..and I do have another one in mind! Keep up the good work!!
Richmond 12/17

I just wanted to let you know that Michael and his team did a wonderful job on this project. He was a terrific person to work with and kept us updated the entire time about what and when things were going to happen. We’ve hired several landscapers since we’ve lived here and Cross Creek has, by far, provided the best experience! So we will definitely be giving you a call when it’s time to re-do the back yard. Thank you again for all Cross Creek did.

My wife and I are so happy and impressed with Michael. He did a wonderful job keeping us informed every step of the way and was more than happy to tweak a few things along the way so that we were completely satisfied with the project. Everything looks great and we will definitely be coming back to Cross Creek for future projects. Thank you for a job well done.

I was very pleased with the design process and final product. I appreciated Mark’s quick responses and flexibility throughout the design phase as we worked through plant selections and timing options. Lenin and the other worker(s) were efficient and a pleasure to work with also. Thanks.

Yards look awesome! Andrew and his crew were great. Andrew was extremely personable and professional.
Chester 11/17

I wanted to email you to let you know how happy I am with the installation of our new landscape and new timbers along the driveway and the crew who did the install on 10/30 & 10/31. The design Mark created looks great and I look forward to the plants growing. My college age children even noticed the change and commented on how good it looked and why we hadn’t done it years ago. I also wanted to complement you on the crew that was did the install.  Lenin and his crew introduced themselves when they arrived and were very friendly.  I spoke to Lenin about a few of my concerns especially my new neighbors dog fence wire which was touching my old boards along the driveway.  He made sure that the wire was not broken, and it was buried when they were finished.  I appreciated their neatness and hard work. I look forward to continuing using Cross Creek Nursery in the future.

James and Brittlyn did a great job here today.  I am really excited about planting my perennial garden next spring in such nice rich soil that will be so easy to dig in. We are also excited to see the white daffodils coming up in the spring. In addition to working hard, James and Brittlyn were extremely cordial and a joy to work with. We are so pleased with all of the installations and will look forward to enjoying them even more in the future. Everyone in your company has been so helpful and cordial.  It's been a very good experience in all aspects. Many thanks for all of your help and flexibility!!

Lenin & "crew" did an outstanding job on the dry creek bed and edging.  You have the best employees! Both features look like they will guide the rain right out of the yard. The visual impact was so much more!  It's fantastic.
Thanks so much for working with us on this issue. 
​Richmond 10/17

The flowerbed looks great! The guys were so helpful and friendly. They answered all my questions. Their work was excellent as they set all the shrubs out for me to see the placement first and adjust as needed. Everything was cleaned afterwards and I couldn't believe how fast the work was completed. Thank you for your help! 
​Midlothian 10/17

Just a big compliment to Stefi and Chilo for a wonderful landscaping job!! My husband and I are very pleased with the finished product. Cross Creek should be very pleased with both individuals. We’ll be happy to brag about the wonderful service we have received. Thank you so much!!!

Greg, Jelo, and Nelson did a wonderful job, we couldn't be happier! They left the site incredibly clean after building our retaining wall and  installing our plants. We'd love to have all three of them do our next project, we are extremely impressed and highly recommend Cross Creek!

Phase one of our property clean-up went fantastic. Everyone worked very hard to get the yard ready for landscaping and grass this fall. After meeting with Austin initially, we do want shade friendly grass and low maintenance shrubs and plants. We hope you can come up with a plan for our yard this fall at planting time. Thanks again!
Midlothian 8/17

We are thrilled with the work you guys did. It looks fantastic.
Midlothian 8/17

The finished product looks great. We were impressed that you used all hard working people on our job. They completed all the items on the quote and were quite knowledgeable about plant care. They left the yard clean and neat with no debris left behind.  We have printed the care instructions for the new landscape. This information is very useful as you are always in doubt about plant care at different times of the year. We appreciate all of your help with our yard restoration project.

Cross Creek Nursery,
I recently had landscaping completed in my backyard led by Michael
Walker. I not only LOVE the outcome of my backyard project, especially
the brick walkway but thought the crew who completed the project was
exceptional. Michael and his crew made sure I was informed and
comfortable with every decision regarding this project, worked
extremely hard in high temperatures and were wonderful to work with.
Thank you!
​Chesterfield 7/17

I just want to commend the team that just fixed my huge, unfortunate drainage mess!  They were very professional (other than the "yes ma'am - no ma'am" from the very polite young man ((who someone taught him great manners)) - I'm just kidding - he was great cuz he "couldn't" stop being polite. Great team, hard working to the last detail. I feel much better now knowing it's finally fixed right. Thank you very much!

Mr. Murdock, you make excellent sense!  Thank you so much for taking such good care of our landscaping needs.  We will have more as winter approaches, as we bought the wooded lot next door and want to clear out brush and redirect the spring that is on the property.  I am so happy with Cross Creek.  And gosh things look gorgeous. Josh and Nerry were awesome.  Thanks again, and you have a safe and happy 4th!

Mark I'd also like to say thank you and amazing job!  Stefi and Jonathan were wonderful.  I loved that the first thing she said was, "Good morning! It's nice to meet you!  I am so excited to get started on this job!".  She has such a positive attitude and unbelievable work ethic.  I have never seen someone work as hard as she did on our job. I would highly recommend you guys to anyone.  From the beginning to end this has been the easiest and best experience I've had with landscapers yet!

Mark, I want to compliment Jack and Nelson.  Not only do they do beautiful work, they work tirelessly during rain, heat and humidity.  They need no supervision.  Jack is also a problem solver.  He finds alternative ways to complete a job and works around obstacles.

​Hey Mark, as you know Jack and the guys finished up our patio project Friday and we have to say it's incredible but I'm sure you hear that all the time.  I have to say after months and months of sitting here thinking and rubbing on our thoughts with regards to how we wanted this to turn out that we had no way of knowing it would end up being this nice, it is awesome and I'm thinking it will only get better looking as the time passes.  Please pass along how much myself and xxxx appreciate everything that Jack and his guys did, especially in the extreme heat.  If you ever have a perspective customer that wants to speak with someone who you've completed a project for such as this one, we have no problem speaking with them.
Henrico 7/16

Hey Mark, Your team did a fabulous job on our yard!  We are so happy with everything!   Jack and his crew were wonderful to work with - great communication, accommodating and extremely professional.  And they worked so hard - we truly appreciate all their physical efforts too!

We are also very happy with the weekly maintenance work…now our yard will continue to look amazing!  
Midlothian 7/16

Hey Austin - got home from work today and couldn't believe my eyes, what a huge transformation! The crew did such an amazing job - this turned out way better than we could have ever imagined!!

Only downside is, now I have to work all weekend to get the rest of the yard up to par ;)

Austin - I can't even begin to express how much I love my new space in my backyard. It has far exceeded my expectations! Thank you for working with me throughout this whole process. Your crew has been equally as fantastic. It is still hard for me to believe that I have a level backyard. I was just looking at some before pictures that I took and it is truly hard to believe that it is the same space. Thanks for having a great vision for our space! Henrico 3/16

Chesterfield VA 4/15

Mark  - Just wanted to tell you that everything you planted last fall is coming up and looking very healthy.  It's all beautiful and exciting.   The oaks in the back haven't shown any sign of life yet, but I know they are among the last to wake up, and in addition to that, these guys are probably busy growing roots.  I'll give them another six weeks before I get concerned.  All the other trees are budding and leafing out.  This weather is perfect. 
Thank you for the wonderful plan you developed.  I can't wait till next year when things will start to spread.  
Richmond 4/15

Mark,I am very pleased with the patio. I just love how it looks. Your staff was excellent! They were cordial and available to answer all my questions during the process. I'll be sure to recommend you all to my neighbors.
Again thanks so much for everything!  
Mechanicsville, VA 4/15

This is meant to endorse my incredibly positive experience with work carried out by Cross Creek Nursery:
They installed a gravel and slate path in a very difficult location. The area is sloped and is prone to excessive water runoff.  Mark McAulliffe suggested this type of walkway because of the good drainage it affords.  His crew was very professional, well skilled, and courteous. They installed the path as scheduled, with an excellent choice and placement of the slate on the gravel foundation.  After a couple of weeks water runoff slightly eroded a small side of the path.  Without question Mark responded immediately and remedied the situation with attractive well sized "Chalet Stone".  Another excellent choice and suggestion.  All of the stone was supplied and installed at no cost, which is amazing in this time of all too common poor customer service.  One could see that Mark truly cared about making things right and standing behind his work.  To this day there is no erosion, and the walkway is attractive and a fine addition to the yard.
Cross Creek also installed a low dry stack wall in the adjacent sloping rear yard.  Again, the stones were well chosen and skillfully placed.  I had a few suggestions about moving some stones, and this was done willingly and carefully with a fine aesthetic.  They transformed an unremarkable rear year into a pleasing and defined space for planting shrubs, perennials, and annuals.   I cannot praise their work enough, and their ability to please the customer.  I highly recommend Cross Creek Nursery to plan and create a landscape environment for you that is both high quality and affordable.

Thank-you for following up Mark. The 3 gallon plants will be fine and I am sure they will transition well and grow quickly. I have been meaning to drop you a line so I'm glad to have the excuse now. I wanted to tell you how very much xxxxx and I appreciate the professionalism you have displayed from start to finish with our project, it was a pleasant surprise and not at all like our usual experience with contractors. I' m sorry that I can't remember the names of the young men who worked at our house, but they were both conscientious, hard working, and just a pleasure to deal with. We were frankly shocked with how quickly they finished the job. We look forward to dealing with your nursery on future projects, and will gladly recommend you to friends and neighbors.

Hi Mark - First of all, I apologize that it took me so long to get in touch with you to say just how happy we are with the job that you all did on our front yard. It looks wonderful, and it all went so smoothly. I can't remember the name of the gentleman that was in charge those two days, but I can't say enough good things about working with him. I peppered the poor man with questions constantly and he was always happy to help me out. And of course you were so helpful throughout this process and I am very appreciative of how patient you were with us, always answering our questions and adjusting the project plan as needed. I recommended you all highly to my dad and I hope he'll be contacting you down the road for a similar job at his home.

Dear Wendell, You have been amazing. I've really enjoyed working with you. I feel like you listen and really pay attention to our vision. You are a true artist. You put a lot of thought into the design and layout of the backyard and turned it into a delight. We are very incredibly please and what an awesome team with Jack as the leader.

​Hi Wendell, I love the new landscaped area! It is so peaceful to look out the kitchen window and see such a lovely sight. So far everything is doing well. I am checking on all the plants daily. I was very impressed with the foreman's professionalism. He rang the doorbell at exactly 8:00 AM. He was easy to talk to and was very knowledgeable. I hope that we will be back in touch with you sooner than I had anticipated for the next phase. Your communication, design, and help were exemplary! Thanks so much!

Hi Mark, I've been wanting to email you and let you know how pleased we are with the backyard. You did a fantastic job! Just when I thought it couldn't look any better, all of the plantings have really come to life and everything is even more beautiful. The backyard has become another room of our house. I also wanted to share some before and after pictures I had taken. Feel free to share them. They would be perfect for your portfolio. A gentleman contacted me yesterday for a reference and I shared some of them with him. If you need any more references, feel free to send them our way. You should also know Charter Colony named our backyard "Yard of the Month" last November. Midlothian 06/13

Austin, It's too hard to text to let you know how much I love the pond in the landscaping. It goes way beyond my wildest expectations! I love everything! My backyard Is my perception of what paradise must look like.

Wendell, xxxx and I are thrilled with our new landscape! The rock garden is beautiful and so is the new tree bed. We had lunch just now at our window looking out at the garden and felt great about it! Thank you very much for your thoughtful design which has improved the beauty of our home and met our Vaastu requirements. We really enjoyed working with you.

Good Morning Mark, I trust you are having a great week. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the wonderful job Cross Creek did landscaping the front of our facility. The finished product far exceeded our expectations. I will contact you again when we are ready to transition to the next phase of our improvements. Please thank your people and pass along our appreciation for their fine work. Jack was very easy to work with, and did a great job making our vision a reality.

Austin, I was so happy to come home from work yesterday and see a full pond and the waterfall running. the pond is absolutely beautiful and the waterfall is, indeed, spectacular! The lighting around the waterfall is the icing on the cake! If it had not been so cold last night I would've pulled a chair up by the pond with a bottle of wine and just watched and listened. :-). You and your crew have done a phenomenal job of finishing the pond and I truly appreciate everything!

My wife and I have wanted to do something with our backyard which was far from usable for family and entertainment. After several Nursery/Landscape company estimates we decided on Cross Creek Nursery to design and perform the work. The project was a major investment in excess of $40,000 dollars. They were not the lowest bid but on our first meeting they showed a genuine interest in what we wanted and attentive to our concerns. During construction the crew was great and if there was a question the crew leader did not hesitate to stop and talk with us. The result was nothing less than fantastic. When our friends first viewed our new backyard they asked if our yard was “Crashed”. We have used it more in one year than in the last 23 years. We consider it our “Backyard Vacation Area”. We have retained Cross Creek Nursery to maintain our lawn and garden beds. They offered to repair any problems with the hardscape beyond the first year for as long as we used them for lawn care and maintenance.
​ We are extremely happy with our investment and the result. The lawn service is exceptional. It was a pleasure to come home from work and have the yard looking neat and well manicured. We highly recommend “Cross Creek Nursery” for any landscaping needs in the Richmond, Virginia area. Thank you Mark and Andrew McAuliffe. Richmond 01/13

Austin, Thank you for all your expert design and work and patient explanations. We very much appreciate how you've been very responsive and always nice and considerate of what we wanted. We also appreciated that your team was very polite and careful and tidy in their work. We are very happy with the new landscape.

Thanks, Wendell. I was actually going to email you about the watering, so you are ten steps ahead of me! Thanks. I was just thrilled with everything about Cross Creek. Your crew arrived right on time - they were the nicest guys, too. The landscaping looks amazing - better than I had hoped for. It doesn't even look like my yard! I took pictures with my camera and have been showing them off at work. My friend, Meghann, who knows Jill (your boss's daughter), was also amazed but not surprised at the transformation. She had been telling me how wonderful Cross Creek is, and she was right! The guys also cleaned up so nicely. You could not tell they had been there, other than the yard looked so good. I am so glad I got you as a designer. I think we are really on the same page as far as what types of plants and the design and everything. I am a mathematics major, so I like the symmetry and the perfect curves and all that good stuff, and your style fits mine to a "T". Thank you so much for coming out to the nursery on your day off - that was so sweet of you. I would not call anyone else for my landscaping needs and I hope to work with you again in the future. Thanks again for everything.

Good morning Mark, I hope this note finds you well and having fared well during storm Sandy. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and your team for the beautiful landscape design and implementation @ our home in Glen Allen. (My Husband) and I are thrilled with the results! Hopefully in the spring you might also be interested in providing us with some suggestions on hard-scape design.

Hi, Wendell, Both my husband and I are extremely pleased with the work you and the ground crew have done with our new tree plantings. Aesthetically, the placement of the trees is natural-looking and blends in beautifully with the original trees. The ground crew were on time, professional and very polite. You have been a joy to work with: you are extremely knowledgeable about landscaping, your design is exactly what I envisioned, if not better, you always returned my phone calls and emails promptly, and your cheerful and professional disposition repeatedly helped me cope under duress. Please feel free to use my husband and me for references. It will be our pleasure to refer others in need of landscaping to you and Cross Creek Nursery!

Austin, You all did a great job and I truly appreciate you arranging to have this done so quickly! It looks great, my only regret is I didn't do this earlier! I will always recommend you all for sure.

Good Morning Wendell, I love it! It looks...complete, I don't know what to tell you but you and your crew have done a fantastic job and your design really works well with front yard layout. I couldn't stop smiling when I came home yesterday, it just looks great!

We are extremely happy with the results of our project and will be sending before/after pictures to Austin very soon. Austin's vision for our patio area turned out absolutely beautiful, and the paving team does outstanding work! Thanks for you for everything.

Phase one of our property clean-up went fantastic. Everyone worked very hard to get the yard ready for landscaping and grass this fall.  After meeting with Austin initially, we do want shade friendly grass and low maintenance shrubs and plants. We hope you can come up with a plan for our yard this fall at planting time.  Thanks again! As far as feedback goes, I was very pleased with the design process and final product. I appreciated Mark’s quick responses and flexibility throughout the design phase as we worked through plant selections and timing options. Lenin and the other worker(s) were efficient and a pleasure to work with also.

I would like to comment on the wonderful yard improvement job the Cross Creek team did for me. They placed a border, filled in with stone, and cemented my uneven steps into my back yard. Michael was the team leader and the job he and his workers did was nothing less than awesome. He not only leveled my steps, but placed stones in the concrete to give it that really professional look with a finishing touch. I love it. I did not expect him to go the extra mile. The team was very professional, helpful, and hard working! I couldn’t have asked for a better job. It looks so wonderful, I can’t stop looking at it. Thank you so much for giving me a back yard that solved several issues and that I can be proud of. I will not hesitate to contact you with any future jobs…..and I do have another one in mind!
Keep up the good work!!

Thanks again to Austin for the plan and all of your folks involved in the installation.
