"Artistic Landscapes Inc. was one of many companies we talked to and received quotes from about installing a boulder retaining wall in our backyard to replace aging railroad ties and decking. The backyard is sloped with very limited access to move materials and equipment, therefore many of the companies we spoke with responded with either limited options for landscape ideas or unaffordable prices. Chris came out, listened to our ideas, gave us some of his and told us exactly what we could expect; he quickly put a bid together and we were elated it fell within our budget. 



He and his crew not only worked around the limited access issues, but challenging weather including rain and wet conditions/clay soils. In addition to an approximate 60 foot long boulder retaining wall, they installed 33 paver stones for a pathway, steps as a feature area, additional large boulders for aesthetic enhancements and graded the area to address critical storm water runoff needs. The placement of each stone/boulder was clearly thought through, resulting in a unique and attractive wall versus many of the standard "one on top of the other" looks.



Toward the end there were a few minor tweaks we requested to which Chris and his crew were more than happy to accommodate until they knew we were completely satisfied. Clean up was fabulous too; our front yard damaged by major equipment during the process (which we knew was necessary) was fully restored as promised!



Chris was good to communicate with and very trustworthy in terms of what he committed to delivering. I would recommend Artistic Landscapes to anyone seeking quality work at a fair price, and by someone who knows what works and what doesn't. We absolutely love our new backyard...thanks Chris and Artistic Landscapes!

"Perfectly. Couldn’t be happier. We wouldn’t consider going elsewhere for any landscape work. Layla, Ron, and the field personnel are ALL very professional and considerate as well. I will not enter the cost below, but rest asssurred it was major work."

"Twin City Landscape originally installed my paver patio about a decade ago. They were fantastic. Debbie listed to what I wanted and told me how they would do it (unlike some other companies, who tried to talk me into doing something easier). I love my patio. Last year, I decided to finally fix a retaining wall, and do a small extension of my patio, so I contacted Twin City Landscape again. Once again, they did fantastic work. I will recommend Twin City Landscape to anyone doing landscaping (and in fact, I just did)."

"I got three bids for the retaining wall.  On price, Goodfellows came in the middle.  I was happy with all the bids I received - I thought all were fair and actually, they weren't that far off from each other.  However Goodfellows (Al) was the only vendor who talked about the best way to preserve the health of a huge maple tree whose roots were most likely running through the space where the retaining wall was to go.  Al suggested using boulders, an idea I actually loved.  Boulders could be placed around any roots that would be exposed, and less of the ground would have to be excavated behind the wall because there was no need for gravel backfill.
Weather postponed the project several weeks (snow!), but as soon as the weather was cooperative, Al's team came to install the wall.  They demolished my old wall, plus tore down a fence that was sitting on top.  They also took out a freestanding basketball hoop that I never used.  They used very large boulders in a single row and curved the wall around a parking pad.  Behind the boulders they placed landscape fabric to hold the dirt.  They also poured a bit of concrete around the boulders to fill in some spaces between the bottom of the boulders and the cement parking pad.
They also replaced some concrete steps with stone steps - wider than my previous steps.  Then they used some pavers that matched some existing pavers I already had to join up the new steps and a walkway to the backdoor of my house.
One nice surprise - they cleaned up so nicely and also hauled away some extra brush that I had stacked in a corner of the yard.  They left the area so clean, and ready for the next contractors I had hired to install a fence on top of it.
The wall is beautiful and looks so natural.  I am very, very pleased.  The whole job took about a day and a half.

Additionally, Jessica was very communicative, and prompt in responding to our questions. I will definitely be calling Jessica again when our next yard-based project arises."

"Dan was awesome to work with. Did great work removing our old mulch, installing a weed barrier and putting in new mulch. Couldn’t be happier with the result and cost was very reasonable."

"Cherry Hill installed and programmed my Irrigreen irrigation system plus 10,000Sq. ft. of beautiful sod. Love my new instant yard! The entire crew was there to answer all my questions. Austin and Ryan were really amazing in guiding the project. They were so easy to work with! I'd definitely recommend them to renew your lawn and any other landscaping projects!!"
