Description of Work: Max did a wonderful job landscaping our front and back yards. He installed a stone wall and elevated planting bed, rebuilt the in ground water feature to include 2 additional vertical stones, installed sun tolerant turf in the front yard. He also reconfigured the irrigation system to include drip watering for individual plants. The back yard he installed a stone paver patio with gazebo, built a water bubbler with vertical stones, elevated an existing fountain for better visual effect. The back yard irrigation system was also reconfigured to drip watering. He installed shade tolerant turf in the back yard. Max installed low voltage landscaping lighting in both the front and back yards. Max is hard working, dependable, and easy to work with. He accomplished everything that we asked and was very flexible in changing things as we went along. The cost of all the work that he did for us was about $14000.00. We felt that we got a lot of bang for the buck

Max's Landscaping is run by Max and Robin. Several weeks ago, we asked them to quote on a backyard revitalization job. We choose Max's Landscaping not just because their quote came in the lowest, but also because they were responsive and engaged through the estimate progress; many other landscapers did not even call us back when they realized it wasn't a jumbo job. The job has gone well from start to finish, and we have already asked Max to come back and do more work for us. We would recommend them to anyone (and everyone!) for the following reasons: 1. Max is an expert. He knows his stuff when it comes to plants and growing things, hardscaping, and maintenance. This means he advises on what is best for your situation, rather than just doing what he's asked to do. Example: our yard is very shady, and we asked Max to install sod. He and Robin investigated and recommended that we seed with a special high shade variety rather than install sod that was not suited for the area. 2. Max is a perfectionist. He does a meticulous, careful job. Everything he did, from seeding to cleaning to mulching, was done in a neat and tidy manner. He takes pride in his work, and has come back several times to check on the progress of the grass even though that was not part of the estimate. 3. Max works hard. He is exceptionally efficient, too. It is amazing to watch him. Really he should charge double per hour because he works like two. 4. Robin keeps everything organized and maintains Max's schedule. She is very communicative, and willing to communicate via email or phone -- whatever the client prefers. This is important because Max is busy --- probably because he is so good! He is booked out several weeks and is juggling multiple jobs. It works, because Robin is readily available, stays in touch, and keeps things coordinated. 5. Max's Landscaping prices are reasonable. We feel that we got exceptional value for the price we paid. We are now planning a number of other projects. In summary, we highly recommend Max's Landscaping. They provide high quality service, expertise, and efficient work at a very reasonable price. We are pleased we found them and will be hiring them again. .
Description of Work: Max and his team came out and cleared our back yard, removed old weedy grass, added new soil, and leveled. They planted in grass seed. They also added mulch to all the borders and gravel to the paths.

Max works VERY hard. He is punctual, fast and consistently under promises and over delivers for very reasonable prices. I recommend him and his work without reservation. Robin makes it very easy to schedule and communicate by email so nothing is miscommunicated.
Description of Work: This time (2/15/13) Max did a full clean-up of our very over-grown back yard (about 1/5 acre): Blackberries, ivy, weeds, leaves and pine needles and cones from yard and deck, trimmed parts of our arborvitea hedge, pruned a large cherry tree away from the roof and edged the entire yard, as well as cleaned out 200+ square feet of raised-bed vegetable gardens. All that for $225 plus $40 dump fees! Last October (10/12) he did a clean-up of our front yard: mowing, edging, pruning for $100 and then returned every-other week to mow for $35.
