Kiefer Landscaping Inc

"Holy moly, I had never heard of Keifer’s Nursery before. We stop by looking for a particular camellia. Had I brought the truck, we’d have left with so much! Staff was super helpful and friendly. We’ll be back soon, with a truck!"

"Trustworthy, high quality work and follow-up. We used Kiefer Landscaping (with Matt leading) for our custom home build in North Durham. We wanted to rely heavily on natives and naturalistic landscaping. We've loved going to their nursery for years, admiring its design and selection, so we were excited to include Kiefer in our bid process for all our landscaping at our wooded home. Our project is not a "straight forward" project by any means. Additionally, we built during Covid. Matt and the team at Kiefer did a bunch of design work up front that helped us immensely in visualizing the space and they executed at a high level of quality. They went above and beyond in their work on grading and fixing up some areas of the land that had been left badly from initial clearing/grading and came back several times to ensure the work held up -- especially in our garden area. They are honest and live up to their word about fixing issues. Matt has been available whenever we aren't sure if a plant is dying and in helping us figure out how to care for new sod. Construction and landscaping is a people business. Its messy and tough to predict. You need partners who are professional, responsive, and stand by their work even after they are paid. Kiefer is all that and more. You should definitely work with them."

"Just picked up a beautiful Picea Orientalis Gowdy on sale for 40% off. Tremendous value, magnificent plant! It was a challenge getting in my vehicle, but they used their smarts and backed up the flatbed to the opening of my SUV and slid it in. Brilliant! So glad I found this place. The staff are very helpful and accommodating. I can't wait to plan the rest of the garden so I can come back to shop. BTW, I found a garden statue online and put it in my shopping cart elsewhere. I saw that statue for less here!"

"After several in-person meetings, emails and phone calls beginning last fall and continuing throughout the winter, we had given Kiefer's a sizable deposit and were scheduled by Kiefer's to begin installing a garden on our property. When we received their plans we executed the retaining walls PER THEIR DESIGNER'S SPECIFICATIONS and sent her pictures of same walls. Two days before they were to begin the work, the professional designer told us that there was additional work that had to be done on the retaining walls despite our telling her numerous times prior that we had concerns about it. She blew off our concerns repeatedly throughout the planning process and waited until this late date to voice her agreement with us. When we protested that we had brought up those same concerns over the previous months, she blew that off, too. We cancelled the project and sent a letter to Mark Kiefer asking him to respond to our concerns and shabby treatment within one week. Instead the company sent us our refund, minus her 'design fee' without a note, letter or phone call explaining or asking us about the situation. This is stated on their website: " We are motivated to bring quality to and industry full of mediocrity." We were not afforded quality or the dignity of a reply by the owner. So, this is what we must look at daily until we find a truly professional landscape company."

"Absolutely beautiful nursery and wonderful staff! They offer just about anything and everything and have most planted around their area to show what it looks like growing naturally. Can’t wait to go back!"
