We hired Ray and his team to polish up our landscaping around our home and we couldn’t be more pleased with the result! They were quick to get the job done with less than a month between consult and completion. We also had them take over our lawn care. After 2 years of treatments by another company our lawn already looks better after just one month with Outdoor Creations than it ever has. Would highly recommend!

Outdoor Creations, Ray and Andee Bray have done a wonderful job improving our curb appeal and repairing several problems we had in our yard. We spent almost two years unsuccessfully trying to get a landscaper to give us an estimate and actually come to do the work. Early in the 2017 season I called Outdoor Creations, I explained to Ray we had drainage, irrigation and lawn issues. Along with that we had a problem of overgrown bushes that my husband and I had no idea what to do with. Ray came over sat with us and we talked for a while about what it was we wanted, he explained how he evaluates things and how important soil testing would be. We then went ouside to walk around the property as he pointed out some issues and what the possible causes were and what he would do to repair them.

When Ray received the results of the soil testing he returned to explain the results and the plan to proceed forward. My husband and I found Ray and Andee to be very knowledgeable, professional, patient and easy to work with. They don’t just fix something they take the time to do it the right way so it lasts, it may not be the least expensive way but it is the right way, it is quality work. They even took time to show me the correct way to trim our roses and crape myrtles. Because of the scope of the overall project they spent a good portion of the summer working here, they became like family.

When Ray and Andee were done we received many complements from neighbors and friends, they are working with us this year to maintain a pretty yard.

I can’t speak highly enough of Outdoor Creations and Ray Bray. To put it mildly, our lawn was a disaster. Ray identified the issues, performed a soil analysis and applied the proper amendments to make our yard a healthy environment for growth. This was done last fall and now , as spring has come, I see a BIG difference in our lawn. He is systematic with the work to be done and the reasons why . He hand trimmed an oak tree that I have gotten compliments on. who hand trims trees any more? Based on his professionalism and work quality, so glad we chose him.

Outdoor Creations is bringing my yard back from the dead and they are doing a wonderful job, fixing things I didn’t even know were wrong and doing an excellent job on all of it – the yard, the woodwork, the brick paths. I am delighted. Where I fail to have ideas or knowledge about promising plant combinations, Ray does have them. This has been an effortless and hassle free experience compared to what I have experienced with two other local companies.

Outdoor Creations, aka Ray and Andi Bray, saved my yard! The Centipede grass looked beyond repair and a backyard natural area had really gotten out of hand. At our consultation in May ’16, Ray assured me after a soil analysis they could bring it back, and they certainly delivered. Over the next 6 months, they aerated, de-thatched, and applied the proper nutrients to our front lawn and it looks amazing. It is so thick and lush, on Halloween, the parents of my trick-or-treaters even commented on it! They switched the pine straw in the beds to chocolate mulch and trimmed all of the vegetation. In our back yard, Ray oversaw the removal of 26 long leaf pine trees, installation of sod and various trees and shrubbery, stone pavers and a 10 ft property divider, thus completing the restoration of our back yard.

Besides Ray’s extensive horticultural knowledge, he is a true professional. He had taken plenty of before/pictures to document our progress. So when the backyard neighbor (different neighborhood, long history) became embarrassingly unpleasant, thinking the drainage ditch easement (both sides!) was part of their property and threatening us with…everything!!! Ray handled it like a true professional! He calmly explained the legalities of property ownership and county drainage ditch maintenance rules AND after said neighbor pulled up the property stakes during the night, Ray was able to get someone to re-survey it the next day and work continued on! We now have twice the yard and thanks to the 10ft divider, no longer have to deal with our neighbors. We have also contracted with Outdoor Creations for ongoing yard maintenance, including regular mowing, trimming, fertilizing.

Outdoor Creations has made my landscaping beautiful! I unfortunately had negative experiences with both a landscape architect and a lawn service when I moved into my new house in 2012. With Ray and Outdoor Creations, they do it all. So now I have one company maintaining my lawn, irrigation,as well as the trees, bushes etc.
Coming from the Northeast, gardening is very different. Outdoor Creations has given me an education on how to garden here in the South. They’ve identified and fixed problems with my drainage that I knew I had, I just didn’t know there was a way to fix them. You may pay a bit more than the companies, than other companies. But if you want it down right the first time, I’d recommend Outdoor Creations.

Outdoor Creations provides the full array of services to maintain my grass and plants with the proper care required. They provide full details of the soil conditions and preform the proper treatment as needed. We always work from a detailed estimate outlining the cost of each item. The owner, Ray Bray, is extremely dependable and always calls when he sees something out of line. I do recommend his company to others on a regular basis.
