Merrittscape was by far the best company I have dealt with in years. Their response timing and perfection is one like no other! I had inquired via Angies list about having our landscaping re-done and Merit was at my house 1/2 hour later. I have never received such fast service ever in my life. Impeccable quality! Their knowledge is definitely seen in their work. If you need any sort of landscaping, you have to call Merrittscape. They are truly the best!

We contacted Merritt to see if he would help us with a new deck. Merritt convinced us that we would be better off financially and in in the long term with a stone patio. After talking with Merritt and viewing his portfolio and learning how much he was charging, we signed our contract. I was also really influenced by how artistic he seemed to be. Merritt was prompt, and polite and in general an all around good guy. He and his men worked in our early November Winter deep freeze to finish this project before the heavy snows came. The guys are very detail oriented and painstakingly moved every single stone until they were pleased with the location. Merritt told us that he cannot wait to come back in the Spring and start planting in our new beds?and we cannot wait to see what he creates! His knowledge about horticulture is overwhelming and his enthusiasm contagious. We feel so lucky that we found Merritt and I already have him scheduled to to do more work at my mom's house. I wish every major home improvement project could be performed and completed as smoothly and pleasantly as this one was.

Very smoothly. They were polite, courteous and worked swiftly and efficiently. They did the work in one week with no issues or damage to any of the surrounding plantings, trees or brickwork. They also cleaned up after themselves 100% including sweeping up and putting down grass seed which I did not ask them to do. I would rate them A++. They were only late by 30 minutes for the final appointment after the work was completed when I was to pay them the final 40%. That's why I rated them a "B" for punctuality. If I could put a picture here I would because the area is completely beautiful. They did a great job!
Description of Work: Merrittscape designed a new front "look" for the entry to my home then they did the work. They tore out about 30 feet of concrete walkway and replaced with pavers. They created a patio at the front entry to my home. They tore out the original concrete stairway and created a more natural looking staircase of flat boulders (I think they call them outcroppings to my front porch.) They also covered the porch with pavers so that the entryway has one uniform look. They also brought in about 15 outcroppings (boulders) and created a natural setting for my front entry. They moved two 900# statues into place. Another Angie's list provider bid on the work and was $2,000 higher.
