Landscaping By Mark & Sons

Landscaping by Mark & Sons has been our landscaper for many years, and we adore the company. They do high-quality work, their pricing is fair, they are communicative and responsive, and very friendly and professional. Plus, when they see a problem, they solve it! This year, as usual, we called them out to do a regular spring cleanup. Without our even having to ask, they resettled an entire row of trees that had previously been damaged by a heavy snow. I thought the trees were goners and would all have to be replaced. Instead, Landscaping by Mark & Sons worked their magic and they look good as new. (Ignore the one tree that is dying; it was dying previously anyway.) Landscaping by Mark & Sons does exceptional work all around, but this was an above-and-beyond level of service. And we are so pleased by the result. I cannot recommend this company enough.

Couldn't have gone better. They are now under contract for this fall and all of 2018.

quick, efficient work at a good standard.

They offer a wide variety of landscaping services, and are knowledgable about everything they offer. They are responsive to requests. They are polite and professional. They are happy to provide multiple options at different pricing levels. They complete projects promptly and efficiently and always clean up after themselves. They easily work within our budget and were very thorough in planning out the new look. We have had nothing but great experience with Landscaping by Mark and Sons and will continue to use them.

Not well! Would not hire again.

Everything looks great. I have a complex garden with lot of stuff to work around when mulching. They did a great job. THey also removed a huge miscanthus grass.

They have broken lights and borders and do not care. Their prices are very high and they are not responsive to problems their hired help cause.

Mark has been clearing my driveway of snow for many years in a timely and  thorough fashion. He contracts out the gutter cleaning and while they do an excellent job, this year they waited until December..after we had already had some snow. I will see how the spring and next fall cleanings go. Hopefully they, too, will be done in a timely fashion.

I wanted some plantings on the east side of my older home where there were currently weeds, shade and alot of old roots from shrubs.  I also wanted plantings along the east side of my garage that had been rebuilt.  Mark came out right away and evaluated.  I had 8 bushes planted on the east side of the house, hydrangeas planted along the garage and a pine, the back portion of the yard leveled and grass planted and multiple roots ground from old trees and shrubs and put mulch down.  All the plantings are doing great, I didn't loose one shrub over the last 18mos and I was clear that I need low maintenance plantings, I'm not good about plant maintenance. I wanted to keep the look of the older home appropriate to the style and age too.  He obviously knew what to suggest because the plants are doing well.  There was a bit of a wait to get started on the landscaping due to other projects and weather, but I had said I was not in a hurry so it wasn't a problem.  The work was completed in 2 days, all yard debris was removed and the area was cleaned.  He's reliable and professional, there have never been any problems or surprises.  I had him back to do more work in 2013.

This was the second year I had Mark do work in my yard.  I had erosion problems at the front of the house porch and had a retaining wall placed.  Mark was responsive and came to evaluate what needed to be done, made suggestions about materials he thought would work best.  I scheduled the work and it was completed in a day, looks great and no other signs anyone was working at the location other than a new wall.  Always professional and reliable, completes work as outlined.

My frontyard didn't look good at all and needed a lot of work. I've contacted a few providers off the Angie's list. Mark was the most responsive and a pro overall. Throughout the whole process he showed nothing but patience and desire to do the best job for us. He had good ideas on how to improve the frontyard. Mark's crew was very professional and worked really hard (and it was a hot couple of days.) The final product looks great and I've received a number of compliments about it.

I'm happy with the job Mark did and will hire him for future landscaping jobs.

Update on 7/2/2015:

One of the trees that Mark planted didn't take. I asked him to come out and take care of it while it was still on warranty, however, he didn't show up and later said the warranty ran out. I'm very disappointed with him not keeping his word.

Mark was very friendly and did a great job.  He put a lot of effort into determining what to do with our yard and came up with a creative solution.  The results exceeded our expectations and we've received a lot of compliments.  His team got the work done quickly and cleaned up after themselves.  It was completely stress-free for us.  I would definitely work with him again.

Great work.

Mark and the men that work for him are very hard working and easy to work with.  They were very professional and I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again.

It was very good. They just honored their contract to the letter. They said in the contract when they would come and when they wouldn’t come. They did exactly what their contract stated. They did it on time. I guess their price is fair; I didn’t really shop around too much but talking to neighbors I would say it was an average price. I never even had to call them. I just signed a contract and they took care of everything. The only time I talked to them was when I signed a contract. That was the only contact I ever had with them. They didn’t always come the minute I wanted them to come, but that's the way it is. I will probably use them again next year.

They were great. We’ve used them multiple times and I’ve been happy with them each time.

Mark responded to our call quickly, provided an very competitive estimate, and once we gave him the go ahead, the work was done just a few days later.  There was a slight mix-up with the bill amount, but it was quickly and painlessly corrected.  I will definitely be hiring Mark to do more of our landscaping work next season.

My yard is half an acre of grass and large, old trees. The three man crew came in October and blew the leaves and then mowed and edged the yard. They came again two weeks later to do the same thing. A four man crew came in November to do just the leaves. It was a lot of leaves. One of the crew even cleaned out a few of my window wells, which I wasn't expecting. Good work overall. Efficient and thorough.

Mark is a very pleasant person, easy to work with.  Punctual, responsive, thorough.  Unfortunately a few days after the new lawns were planted we had many days of torrential rains which washed away much of the work.  He's been back at least three times to reseed bare areas.  I have quite a bit of new grass now, but also many bare spots.  He said he'll be back in the spring to repair Mother Nature's damage.
