Creating Beautiful Landscapes Since 1985

North Carolina Born and Educated. . .Affordable, Experienced and Knowledgeable
 

If you've ever hired a landscape company and as the job progressed you felt that maybe you had made a mistake, or the job was not quite up to your expectations, You probably are right.  The Green Industry in the State of North Carolina is unregulated and many times people claiming to be landscape professionals really don't have the expertise or knowledge to do the job correctly. It's not that they are being dishonest, it's just that in these trying economic times we see people every day starting landscape companies. They think because they mowed lawns in high school that they are qualified to do your landscape project. WRONG!

Here's A Prime Example:

"Just a little note to say thank you.  As you are aware, I moved to NC a year ago and all this lawn care and landscaping is new to me.  Last year I had someone aerate/seed my lawn  and felt "ripped off" and taken advantage of.  This year I had real concerns.
 
When Jim came out to give me an estimate, he made me feel at ease.  He's a warm person who came across as a true professional.  However, I still had some doubts (still untrusting due to last year's experience).  Then I saw your men in action.  They left here after aerating/seeding and I felt truly comfortable that they did a proper job.  They are extremely hard working and professional in their work.  They were knowledgeable and dedicated to doing the job right.  I know you can't guarantee perfection, but I felt your guys attempted to achieve it.  I can't thank you enough for making me feel like I finally found someone who knows their work and cares about the people for which they provide a service.
 
Please thank your men for me.  I will pass the word on."

We deal with customers every day that have had bad experiences with other landscape companies. A good sales person does not a landscape company make, so if your landscape is very important to you, you owe it to yourself to call a real professional. When you call Camden Landscape Group you get the EXPERTS! And here's why.

Since 1985, Camden Landscape Group has been building and maintaining some of the most beautiful landscapes in the Piedmont.

Founder Jim Humphries is a Vietnam veteran and a 1975 graduate of North Carolina State University. In his career years - before starting Southern Lawns/Camden Landscape Group - Jim was as a Golf Course Superintendent and an advisory consultant to many golf courses in the Piedmont, including Roaring Gap Country Club, Deep Springs Country Club, and Croasdaile Country Club.  

Jim has served on advisory committees to North Carolina State University, Guilford Technical Community College and the North Carolina Turfgrass Council. He has also served as both President or Board Member of the Piedmont Golf Course Superintendents Association, the North Carolina Turfgrass Council, North Carolina Green Industry Council, and The Center for Turfgrass Environmental Research and Education at North Carolina State University. And recently chaired the North Carolina State Certification Committee for Turfgrass Professionals. The only certification process for Turfgrass Professionals in the State of North Carolina.

In the year 2000 Southern Lawns/Camden Landscape Group was awarded the Small Business of the Year award by the Western Rockingham Chamber of Commerce.

What does this all mean for you? It means that you get an affordable, experienced, and knowledgeable team performing your landscape needs.
