Testimonials
We had the pleasure of working with Christie, Kevin and Rick and had a great experience. We worked with Christie and Kevin about 7 years ago. They planted some trees for us and built three tree wells.
Since we had such a good experience several years ago we decided to contract them to re-landscape our entire yard. From the beginning with the design that Rick developed to the finished product we were thrilled. Rick put together a fantastic design that really fits our needs. They also used some Tennessee Ashlar that we had lined our driveway with and made retaining walls and a border for a bed. We just love the crape myrtles, roses and hydrangeas. They are even going to handle maintence for us and have been wonderful.
I would highly recommend Christie's Fine Gardening to design, install and maintain all your gardening needs.

Thank you, Christie, Ric and Kevin! My Japanese rock garden is a living work of art. I described to Ric what I wanted and he drew up the plans with lots of shade-loving plants, including pachysandra, plum yews, autumn fern, dwarf mondo grass. The crew was fantastic and committed to the job. Kevin gave me tips on caring for the plants and he and Ric set up an above ground sprinkler system for me. Christie stayed within my budget which made me very happy and I look forward to more landscaping work with Christie’s Fine Gardening!

For the past 6 years, Christie's Fine Gardening has
been an important asset in our estate management organization.
They have taken on a wide variety of tasks including
bed and terrace design, stonework, pathways, turf maintenance
and replacement, planting and upkeep of plant material,
mulching, trimming and insect control, to name just
a few. I most highly recommend them for any and all
landscaping needs.

Christie transformed our dull and weed-infested yard
into a sanctuary that we now relax in and enjoy. She
has a vision that allows her to see the potential in
things I cannot even begin to see, the ability to define
that vision, and bring it to life. Furthermore, her
infectious enthusiasm keeps you excited throughout the
process. It was comforting to work with someone who
listened to what we wanted and patiently worked it into
our price-point. The result was a garden we could afford
and are extremely proud of.
— Katie Horst, Crozier, VA
I continue to get compliments on my beautiful landscaping

You only have one chance to make a good first impression.
Your lawn is the first thing people see. With a busy
real estate office, we don't have to worry about our
lawn or beds, because Christie and Kevin always have ours looking
great!

Our backyard was transformed into an oasis with koi
ponds, waterfalls and our own version of a botanical
garden... and it's a delight to entertain friends and
family with our incredible outdoor kitchen. Christie's
Fine Gardening & Landscape Design has made our dreams
a reality.

In 2003, after Hurricane Isabel returned my property
to its original blank-canvass condition, I began working
with Christie and Kevin Barry to design, landscape and
maintain my front and rear yards. Christie's entire
team has consistently demonstrated her passion for elegant
design, hard work and professionalism, indications of
first-rate management and training.
— Michael Neal, Richmond, VA
Christie and Kevin have completely remade my yard (front
and back) from a neglected, weedy, overgrown mess into
a beautiful, interesting and livable green space in
the city. They began 9 years ago and still continue
to add to its intrigue and charm. The compliments from
neighbors and passersby are constant.
— Ken Jones, Richmond, VA
