About us

The right residential landscaping can completely transform a lawn from nice to amazing. But proper landscaping can do much more than just provide aesthetic value. When done right, landscaping can elevate your home’s curb appeal, increase your home’s value, and improve the usability of your property. Residential landscaping from Land Escapes will combine natural beauty with function to create a personal sanctuary where you can relax and extend your living space into the outdoors. Land Escapes specializes in a variety of hardscaping elements, including colorful textured stamped concrete patios, retaining walls, paver patios, walkways, driveways, outdoor kitchens, courtyards, terraces, water features, benches, counters, fireplaces, pool decks, accent walls, edging, and more. Land Escapes creates creative and distinctive hardscaping designs using a variety of materials, including flagstone, cut stone, pavers, natural stone, and more. We can combine materials in different shapes, patterns, textures, and colors to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind designs that produce visual interest. Your landscape needs water to survive. But too much or too little water can be detrimental to your landscape. A residential irrigation system from Land Escapes takes the guesswork out of keeping your landscape properly watered and makes your landscape easier to maintain while keeping it lush and healthy.

They were extremely professional, helpful, polite and cleaned up when they left. The result? Absolutely beautiful! They gave complete instructions after the work was done to make sure we knew how to keep everything healthy and alive. We feel like a ton of stress is gone and every time we drive by we can't believe that perfectly manicured and landscaped meadow is part of our yard! They are THE best.
Description of Work: The entire yard along the side of the house was in such bad shape we almost considered moving just to get away from it. Years of neglect, weeds, dead tree branches, invasive vines, and overgrown plantings from previous owners made the yard embarrassing. It was too much for us to handle on our own.After seeing great reviews we decided to call for a design proposal. Brett came out and listened to what we wanted and gave great suggestions. In two days they dug out a field of weeds, removed dead or overgrown bushes, trimmed several trees, relocated large established plantings we wanted to keep, properly pruned and trimmed existing bushes, mulched, planted three perfect 8' evergreens, fixed our sprinkler system, put sod down and much more.

Completed in less than a week. Workers cleaned up after themselves. Looks nice. One problem was that the mulch was too deep next to the house, covering the bottom of the wood shingles. After I called them, they came back out and removed some of the mulch. They actually distributed it to an area in my yard that needed mulch.
Description of Work: Removed and hauled away a decaying railroad tie retaining wall. Replaced it with a man-made stone wall. Deverted a downspout on the house, by burying it underground away from the house. Covered the dirt in front of the wall with mulch.

They were pretty efficient. They were very careful about the underground seep hoses and sprinkler system. I wanted a change in the boulders, and Brett was very responsive to that. Brett is very honest and professional. You might think the price was high, but you get what you pay for!

Brett worked with us in redesigning the project several times. He was patient and easy to work with. The quality of plants used were very good. We are pleased with the end result and the plants are all doing well. We have emailed Brett several times about watering and plant care and he is always responsive . Our only complaint was the movement of several lawn sprinklers and the failure to adjust properly . Also, the placement of the control value was not properly filled in so it has created a depression in the yard. Again, we are happy with the final result.

We have had a major water problem in our back yard during periods of moderate to heavy rain, with a swale that has led to significant movement of mulch we had placed. Owner Brett Bathurst responded promptly when we called three companies I found on this site. He came out and met with us, and listened well to what we wanted done- creation of a retaining wall, plant installation, a dry creek bed to handle the water, and a small fire pit, with re-sodding of the remainder of the back yard. He gave us a clear proposal for the job, and a likely start date. Despite a very rainy summer, he was able to meet that start date. His on-site team, Josh, Jose, and Ulysses arrived and were very efficient. They were polite, friendly, and respectful of our property, our time, and flexible. They cleaned up every day before leaving. The project was completed in a timely fashion, and we are totally satisfied with the outcome. I have nothing but good things to say about this company and highly recommend them.

The eye for perfection and quality work is exceptional. Additionally, Brett assisted is in correcting a drainage issue off of our driveway by designing a beautiful limestone staircase built into a small hillside. The landscaping they completed with that project was affordable and well done. Brett has since come out to repair an existing paver staircase and another time to cut back shrubs, clean landscape beds and trim small trees. The crews are always very professional, friendly and tidy. I cannot recommend LandEscapes highly enough - they are a breath of fresh air among service providers!!!
Description of Work: We have had Brett and crew do work a few times now. Initially, they were hired to do a very large drainage, hardscaping and patio repair following a home construction project that disrupted our existing patio. Their work is punctual and completed when promised. They re-laid our patio, created pillars around deck posts, corrected many drainage issues, built a new paver landing and exceeded all expectations.

Excellent! Les Julian was my first contact with the company. Les is articulate, polite, and extremely knowledgeable. He was very fair with me regarding the price. The wall his team built was very large - approximately 3 feet high by 80 feet long. Land Escapes is a very professional operation. All dates were met. The workers were extremely courteous and meticulous. My neighbor who watched the men build the wall, said they built it as if it were their own. After the old wall was torn down, Les realized another drain was needed, and put it in. I appreciated the attention to the problems encountered during the process, and that they were flexible and intelligent with their solutions. The quality and durability of the wall was as important to them as it is to me. They gave me a 10-year warranty, so they stand behind their work. I received many, many bids for this job and the best and only other warranty that was given to me was a 2-year warranty. Hire these people - they know what they're doing!

The crew that did the work were professional and their work was fantastic. I've had several neighbors comment on what a difference this made in my house. I would recommend using them to anyone!

Les was very professional and did a great job! The crews attention to detail looks amazing and they always cleaned up the area prior to leaving each day. When I requested additions to the project, Les gave me pricing updates. He was always good about answering all my questions about the project and care for the new plants. We are exremely pleased with the project and I have already recommended Land Escapes to serveral people.
Description of Work: Les and his team updated the front yard that consisted of removing and adding new bushes and poly edging. Adding a retaining wall, a blue spruce along with flowering plants. The crew removed an overgrown bush in the backyard along with adding mulch to all the flowerbeds around the entire house. They buried the downspout in the front yard and added sod to the various areas in the front yard.

Brett and crew did what they promised and were always punctual. They were not only a hard-working crew but could only be described and very competent. This was not only noted by me but also by neighbors! Neighbors were also very complimentary of the appearance of the completed beautification. I will quote only one lady, "That is just beautiful. Perfect."
Description of Work: Brett and his crew designed and created a complete beautification of the front of my home. This included in part the removable of all old river-rock (using it to fill an area where grass would not grow between the front and back yards). Removed all existing flora. They built a large stone planter and there-in planted a Japanese Maple and flowers and shurbs. Planted on the walkway, 16 box wood shrubs. Additional plantings included Reed grass and ground cover and holly.

It was a long and complex project. We hired Brett because we had confidence in his skills and knowledge to take on this task. We were pleased. Below is the text of a thank you e-mail we sent to Brett at the conclusion of the project. Brett, Patrick, Ulysses and Philip, We want to thank you so much for all of your many hours spent recreating our back and front yards. Ours was a project that initially included irrigation, hardscapes and landscapes. Over the course of it, an additional tree, more sod, the covering our back stoop and a new front yard were all added. With each expansion, you were creative and patient with our questions. You did a great job. We particularly like the patio and walkway, and the beautiful work you did on our back stoop. The bed with roses and boxwoods in the back corner is an eye catcher for all who visit our property. We really like the large rocks in front about and the rocks by our back gate, although it was hard to visualize at first. We also like our new trees and know we will continue to enjoy them as they grow. We thank each of you for your long hours, your patience with our many questions and requests, and for the beautiful space you have created that we will enjoy each and every day. p.s. We like back stoop and walkway so much that we may talk with you about covering our front stoop and replacing our sidewalk with a similar walkway in the future. Thanks again!
Description of Work: Full yard irrigation system, front and back. Built patio and walkway, with covered stoop, buried downspouts, with rock work to control drainage, two full beds in front, two full beds in back, re-sodding much of the back yard, two new trees.

This the third year that we have used Brett. The first year we had the front yard re-landscaped and last year the backyard. This year Brett's crew cleaned out all of the beds and put down new mulch. Looks great! Brett and his crew are the best. Always willing to work with my schedule and around our dogs.

Brett showed up exactly when he said he would, was very laid back and easy to talk to. I was interested in cleaning up and improving the landscaping to help sell the house. Brett offered some great ideas that improved on my vision and saved me money over what I thought I wanted. He recommended enlarging the front bed since the original plants had grown a lot over 5 years--the bed was too small. He cut a new shape to the bed and made beautiful edges. He filled the holes with some great looking new plants. He also cut nice rings and mulched around 8 trees. I had a lot of old fence stakes from when the trees were new that I could not get out of the ground. Brett removed all these for me, and hauled away some yard waste I had in bags.
Description of Work: Flower beds were in sad shape with plants that had died and bare spots. Brett cleaned up existing flower beds and created new.
