I like Kouski Landscapes a lot. He is good at what he is doing and he knows what he is doing. He is punctual and it is easy to work with him.

He had some issues getting the quote back to me but he is a very nice guy, I think it just happened. I was happy with him and I would use him for other things in the future.

Went great. Called for an estimate and had one within a few days. After I agreed to the estimate work was done in a few days. Very quick response.

Extremely pleased with all aspects of the project. Joel and his crew are very personable and hard working. Their ultimate goal is for the customer to be satisfied. Entire project completed in approximately one week. We plan to have Joel replace our brick porch in the spring and plan to get a bid for a new patio.

Joel Kouski came out to look over the project at the promised time, having responded to my initial email very promptly. The area in question was the east side of my house, a space about 15x30 ft. It is a very shady area and it was full of worthless plantings from decades back. We looked it over together while he queried me on what plantings I liked and how I wanted the space to look. The plan and estimate arrived as promised not too long after the initial visit; I was pleased to see that it included numerous suggestions that I had made so I know that it was designed specifically for us and for our unique space. Joel gave us plenty of time to review and consider the proposal. In the end we went with just about everything he suggested as we both felt the design was a good one. He did not require up front money which we really appreciated because it kept us from feeling unduly locked into something that had not unfolded yet. Somehow, it just took some of the stress out of the arrangement. (We paid him in full at the time of completion). As for the installation, it went quite smoothly, with the guys showing up at the promised time and with Joel (the owner) there all the time supervising and directing as needed. That means a lot to me....when the owner also works on the site vs delegating the job entirely to employees. The guys worked hard throughout the day, leaving the work site tidy and showing respect for me and my property. We needed to make a couple unforeseen changes midway through, but that was accomplished without duress since Joel put our satisfaction ahead of all other concerns. My husband and I are pretty particular people and I can attest that we aren't always easy to please but I have to say that we were very pleased and would recommend Joel to anyone for any walkways, patios, designing, planting, etc. The little brick path through the nicely planted area looks quite charming and lots of our neighbors have commented positively.

At first I was reluctant to call in a professional landscaper thinking prices will be outrageous and not worth it. I decided one day to just do it because I knew nothing about plants etc and our yard needed extensive work. He was recommended by a professor for landscape architecture(a friend of ours). Joel has done an excellent job this whole time!!!!! My husband and I can always get a hold of him. He responds to phone calls, texts, emails on a timely manner and comes on time and gets the job done fast. There is no "milking" jobs with him! He is also VERY reasonable for his prices! He answers every single question we have and knows a TON about landscaping. His work is immaculate! I will never go to someone else for my landscaping needs because he can do them all and gives us our money"s worth. I will recommend him to anyone that needs landscaping done!!!

I had a great experience with Joel Kouski and Kouski Landscaping. Joel listened to my vision of how I wanted the rock garden to look. Within a few days of our meeting and him looking at the area, he had sent me a design for review and comment. Also, based on the proposed design he sent an estimate of the cost. At the end of the project, the estimated cost was the real cost. Actually, it was $25 less because I decided not to use three of the plants and Joel deducted those costs from the original estimate. Also, there was too much river rock for the garden instead of just driving off with it I was asked if I wanted to use that rock in another location. I did have another location in mind. Without question the rock was taken to the location that I had indicated. They very well could have just dumped the rock in my drive or even have taken it to another job and I would not have been the wiser. I was very impressed with the honest ethics that was displayed. Joel and his team were professional yet friendly, knowledgeable yet open to my suggestions. They were very precise with their work. As they were completing the project, they literally adjusted and arranged each rock by hand making sure that the desired effect was achieved. Although my project was a fairly small one, I felt as though it had their undivided attention. Finally, I was given instruction on care of the trees and plants and told that the live plants were guaranteed for a year. Great job!

Kouski did an excellent job. We inherited a flower bed that was very disorganized and had plants growing on top of other plants. Joel came in with an initial plan for the landscaping, but I decided that I wanted a few plants that were different from what he initially suggested. No problem. Joel just substituted in what we talked about. And if I had any questions or if I was trying to decide between two plants, Joel would tell me the pros and cons for each one and give his opinion, which greatly helped. I mentioned before that we had some edging done. Besides the edging, Joel and his crew rearranged some concrete and rocks to make the beds look even better (all at no extra charge). Finally, the day that Kouski put in our landscaping, a storm rolled in that evening with 60-70 mph winds. One of the pine trees that was installed, fell out of its hole and started leaning. I contacted Joel and they were here the next day to fix the problem. If I have any landscaping needs in the future, I will definitely contact Kouski.

Nice guy, came as promised, emailed a professionally looking rip off. Wanted to charge $3200 for the job I ended up paying $750 for! Outrageously overpriced!

http://kouski.com/ - Must brag on this company right now. If you need anything for your lawn...or if you are the backyard in tears because of the 10,000 tadpoles and snakes in your recently broken hot tub, they will come by and save you, even on a Sunday night. They are not joking when their site says they do it all. Me (trying to hide my tears because I feel sorry for tadpoles): "But the hot tub, the pump is so complicated...it will take me a month to show you how to even turn it on." Joel Kouski: "Ma'am, I do believe my 6 months on a submarine will have me covered on that. Don't you worry, we will get it all taken care of." They do all of my lawn care - and rearrange their schedule when I am having a party or relatives in town and I want to make it look like I spend 5 hours a day in my yard. I have a complicated yard - the person who lived here before me was a master gardener and you can't tell we moved in...this says a LOT, especially considering I know nothing about gardening, flowers, weeds, soil. They make my yard look sparkling...the same way you feel right after you got your car detailed. All shining and new... A +++ for service, kindness and going above and beyond on a regular basis.

They cut it up and hauled it away without anything left behind. They were fast, efficient and pleasant. Highly recommend them! Will recommend them to family and friends!!!

We emailed them thru website, good follow-up. Came out for an estimate and needs assessment. Asked good questions to determine what we liked and didn't like. Emailed us the new landscape design with plant and flower choices. Joel made another follow up visit to determine how the entire process would work and to change any plant choices.

Kouski arrived promptly and accomplished the agreed-upon tasks efficiently. I was impressed with his organizational skills -- the way he had at hand the right tools to perform a sequence of tasks in the proper order -- and with his stamina. Within a short time he completed an entire job that I would not have been able to accomplish myself.

Pricing took them out of the running to do any work.

Kouski Landscapes was great to work with. When Joel saw our "problem area," he gave us 3 different proposals for what we could do, with a "low" "medium" and "high" budget. The lowest priced option was planting the shade tolerant grass over the entire area, the medium option included the garden bed and ground cover, and the highest option, which was what we went with, included the garden bed with the ground cover, as well as a different kind of ground cover around a tree and the rhododendrons. It took Joel about 1 day to perform the work, and when he was done, even though the grass hadn't been planted yet, it looked amazing. Our side yard had been transformed from trashy to classy. Joel gave me very detailed instructions about caring for the new plantings and the new grass. The new little grass seedlings have just poked up from the ground in the last few days, since I carefully followed his watering instructions. He came by to check on the grass yesterday, and today he blew the leaves that had fallen on it off at no charge, since the grass is too delicate for raking just yet. Joel has a good eye for what will look nice, and he is very knowledgable about plants and taking care of them. When we first contact Joel, he even talked me through repairing some drought damaged areas of my yard on my own. Overall, we had a great experience with Kouski Landscapes!

I saw Joel just finishing up a lawn down the street from me. I waved him over and asked if he could help me with mine. I just needed the front yard cut and I had just mowed the back yard. We spoke when the job was finished and I could tell he took pride in his work and is trying hard to provide for his family and to build a reputation that will bring many positive reviews. We will be hiring him again.
