Description of Work: Mark and his crew added pavers to our existing concrete entrance. They removed part of the sidewalk and added a step to the settled entrance. They were completely professional in their work, flexible with the plan to make it more to our preference, and even mulched the disturbed flowerbeds and seeded the lawn next to the new sidewalk area. They cleaned up all the sand, gravel, broken concrete, and the extra bricks. Could not have been more happy with their work. They are truly beyond compare!

He does the job right. He makes sure that his crew does what he tells them to do. They will redo it if its not up to his standards. He was cheaper than another person we contacted.
Description of Work: I use Mark Goebel Enterprises for landscaping services. He just finished a job today. We put stone steps up our hill. He installed the fabricated stone and brought in fresh dirt and boulders. He also put in a paver pathway to the steps.

Overall the project went very well. Mark coordinated with our other contractor (replaced windows and siding) to assure the inspections went well and they didn't get in each other's way. The demo work was all done in one day and then it took about 3 days to complete the new stoop. Footings were poured for the new front portico (installed by another contractor) and then the front stoop was built around it. It turned out absolutely gorgeous and better than we had expected. I was concerned about the harsh winter we had and I thought the extreme cold might heave the new sidewalk but it still looked like new in the spring. It didn't move a bit. After the job, Mark thanked us for the work and gave is a few company logo items as a thank you. We would definitely hire Mark again.
Description of Work: Mark removed and replaced the front stoop and walkwayin the front of our house and also installed a dry well and drainage pipe around the new front stoop.

I am very happy with the quality of the work. He came out a month or two ago. He remodeled my front yard after our pipes burst out, so I am having him redo my back yard because I was so happy with the front yard. I would recommend him ongoing lawn care as well. He is a little on the pricier side.
Description of Work: We use Mark Goebel Enterprises. He put reservicing the whole grass, putting in a new walkway, a new garden, getting rid of weed, and redoing my porch.

Mark Goebel does an excellent job of explaining the work that needs to be done and how he plans to do it. His workers were very efficient and skilled in installing the downspout extensions in light of the fact that they were dealing with a sprinkling system and underground utilities. They also used the same care and expertise in all of the landscaping they did. Everything looks great and is growing nicely. We will be using Mark again for next year's landscaping needs and highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Removed existing bushes and prepared foundation area for pouring of new sidewalk (by a separate concrete company). Also installed buried downspout extensions with pop-up spouts. Re-sodded the areas around new sidewalk and downspout extensions. Also added soil and mulch to foundation areas to promote drainage away from the house. Planted a boxwood hedge and a burning bush to improve the landscaping near the sidewalk.

Mark and his team did an excellent job with our landscaping project. While there were multiple levels to our project, essentially we wanted to eliminate overgrown bushes in favor of creating an area to place a shed. I met with Mark and explained what we were looking to have done. He had several suggestions that we ultimately used. He also walked the perimeter of our house and noticed other things that could be done to make the area more aesthetically pleasing. He was very professional and stayed in touch with us throughout the project. He came to the house each day to check the work and answer any questions. His team of workers came early and worked hard through the day. We are very pleased. Everything came out looking great and my wife and I would definitely use Mark again for our next project.

Mark and his crew did an outstanding job. From initial design to install Mark was personally involved and helped us make some tough decisions for a very permanent project. He was on site multiple times during the day and responded quickly to any concerns we had. Our patio is exactly what we had hoped for and the entire project was completed with no damage to our existing yard. Throughout the project, I always felt Mark's number one concern was our satisfaction. We were also impressed with the craftsmanship of his crew. These guys are hard working artists who clearly took great pride in their work. Mark even advised us regarding some landscaping ideas in our yard which were unrelated to the patio. Don't waste time shopping around. Mark Goebel is the professional who can meet all your landscaping needs.

Mark helped us decide on what trees would work and look the best for privacy. He was patient with our indecisions. The work crew were very respectable and hard working. They always cleaned up their work site at the end of the day. Mark's pricing seemed reasonable. He was always available by phone or in person to answer any questions we had. The grass came in looking good. We had a septic problem while the landscaping was going on. Mark was very helpful and creative coming up with a good idea to conceal the septic cover on the deck. The work was done in a timely fashion.
Description of Work: Reseeded the back hill, brought in dirt, used plenty of seed, fertilized, and covered with a mesh. Cleaned up flower beds, trimmed perennials, edged. Planted 6 arborvitaes and one flowering bush. Installed a tiered timber border around the flower bed. Designed a septic cover out of brick to match the deck. Set up 4 weed and feed treatments.

Response from MARK GOEBEL ENTERPRISES
Thanks for the great review. About my prices, I have a motto about doing things right the first time & leaving no stone unturned when i do work for my customers. That entails pricing things accordingly and quoting a project how i would want it done at my house.

The work on the paver patio needs to be redone again and I am not happy about that as it has only been a year. I questioned one area when they were at my home and they redid that area with no problems.
Description of Work: They fixed some low spots in a paver patio. The price above was just to fix the low spots.

As I do appreciate positive & negative comments,I was not notified about the additional settling of my original work. In addition, the first time I worked on this paver patio repair ,I did not originally construct their patio/ walkway. So I was repairing someone else work.I will contact (member name removed) this week & look at the settling situation,even though she indicated that she would not use me for any additional work.

They did a good job the first time. I called again a year later and the prices had went up, so I did not use them again. I did think they did a great job, but the next year the cost was too much.

I had a job within the same block & was asked to quote for edging & mulching. I gave Laura a great price due to ther fact my crews were already set up in the area. The following year the prices reflected a job as if it stood alone in addition to material / fuel rising costs.

Mark came out to give an estimate after we had talked on the phone. He delivered by e-mail his estimate and I agreed to it. On the first day of work, he and his crew arrived at about 7 am and began working. I feared that he would not finish by the end of the second day since he had only 2 men working that day but they were done by 4 pm as he had promised.
Description of Work: Trimmed all bushes, removed many branches from trees, widened and cleaned up foundation beds, enlarged soil rings around trees, mulched foundations beds and trees.

We couldn't be happier with Mark Goebel's service. He was professional and courteous when he came out for an estimate, and had some great ideas for what could be done with the yard. The work was completed in a day and a half. His crew was efficient, professional and extremely hard working. Cleaned up very well after the first day and when the work was completed. The pavers are beautiful, and the plant beds look better than they ever have. The finished product is gorgeous! At some point we will need to do some landscaping in our back yard, and there is no question that we would like Mark and his crew to do the work. We will certainly recommend him to friends and neighbors.
Description of Work: Our front yard had been a mess for months stemming from some major sewer work that was done. Mark Goebel removed what was left of our concrete walkway, built a new paver walkway, regraded and re-sodded the entire lawn, cleaned up and mulched our front beds, and relocated some plants within the landscaping. Fertilized the new sod, as well as another section of our grass that wasn't being worked on (a nice touch!).
