So thankful I stumbled upon Justin Keck. Of course he has the knowledge and experience...that’s a given!  More than that, I find Justin’s caring and considerate nature, his patience and thoughtful suggestions to be the tipping point. He absolutely loves gardening and it shows. 

If you’re looking for a truly remarkable gardener then Justin is the one for you. Thank you Justin for taking such loving care of all my gardening needs. 

-Gin A., Chapel Hill

Justin Keck has been my trusted landscaper and personal gardener since 2018. He has completed several projects at my home, including weeding, pruning, fertilizing, planting, general lawn maintenance, landscape design and implementation of two rock flower beds with various shrubs and trees. Justin is always timely, professional, and provides great design ideas with his thorough knowledge of plants, shrubs, and trees. The outside of my home has never looked so good and it’s all because of Justin. Give Walking Tree Gardening your next landscape project; you won’t be disappointed. 

-Carrie N., Pittsboro

From the start it was obvious that Justin knew his stuff as all the flower requests we made he was able to rattle off their scientific names and not only what would compliment them but what would thrive based on the location and amount of sun. He also demonstrated a great work ethic finishing up the last of the mulch and planting in the pouring rain because he promised it would get done. No doubt we will use him again for future plans and would recommend him for any project.

I highly recommend Walking Tree Gardening for landscaping design and installation. Justin did an amazing job transforming my front lawn with new plants and the side of my home with a stone walking path. Completely changed the look of our home!

-Sibby T., Chapel Hill

We knew we found a treasure after our first meeting with Justin Keck. He was the right person to help define and execute a new plan for key parts of our property we struggled with for years. 

Justin’s approach is to observe and listen carefully to what we wish to achieve, present suggestions, and masterfully execute a plan without a lot of fuss.

Not only do we enjoy the finished results but we look forward to our next projects with Justin who delivers skilled professional service and is simply a pleasure to work with.

-Pat and Laura R., Chapel Hill

We have had the pleasure of working with Justin Keck for several months now. He has not only assumed the responsibility of doing our weekly lawn care maintenance but has also completed several large projects for us like removing debris from the yard, spreading mulch and top soil and providing fertilizers to our soil as needed. Everything Justin does in the yard is handled with the greatest care and professionalism.  We wanted to have some bushes planted for border and Justin not only suggested the perfect foliage for the area but purchased them on our behalf and did the planting.  Absolutely the nicest person that we have ever worked with-Justin is agreeable to just about any job we ask for and completes the project in a timely manner. He is passionate about the garden and he conveys that to his customers.  We are extremely grateful to have Justin working with us and look forward to a long and fun relationship. Our yard never looked so good.

I have just begun to work with Walking Tree and I am delighted to say I am more than pleased.  I gave Justin a rough idea of what I wanted as far as style and colors to replace my foundation plantings. The results showed he was certainly listening.   We are about to start on another area..  He is a pleasure to work with.

Justin Keck has worked for me in my yard for almost 3 years. I have a 7-acre lot with about 3/4 acre in perennial beds and the rest in trees, bushes and woods. Justin has an extraordinary knowledge not only of plants but how to care for them. Justin, singlehandedly cares for my perennial beds weekly, is prompt, hard working and efficient.. His willingness to tackle any task is remarkable and he takes his title of personal gardener to heart. Justin is self directed and can be found in my gardens to be mulching, trimming, weeding replanting on any given day. The plant stock he has picked out for me has been an excellent quality and the prices reasonable. Over the years, I have worked with a number of individuals to develop my gardens..Justin is a rare individual and a talented gardener. He is a very easy going, gentle man who truly enjoys the art of gardening and helping and has a knowledge of plants, trees, transplanting and takes great pride in his work. After 3 years of working together, losing him to a move is a great loss for me and my yard and I would have him back to work with me if he ever moved back to this area. Without a doubt.

We would highly recommend Walking Tree services. We've had an amazing experience working with Justin. He has done several projects at our home. Both front and rear beds that included design, plant selection, and installation. And we also use Walking Tree for our overall lawn care services including mowing, fertilizer, and pre-emergent. Justin has a great eye for detail, takes the time to listen to your ideas/needs, is a pleasure to work with, and is very reliable. We are very happy with all the work that has been done and highly recommend Walking Tree.
