Excellent: Locke's crew did a great job. The design was well laid-out, reasonably priced, delivered on time, and the crew cleaned-up after the job was completed.

A+'s in all categories! This was a small job at a busy time, contracted right after the first Covid-19 lockdown was lifted. Chris came on the day I called, sent estimate in under 24 hours, and scheduled work ASAP, keeping me informed all along and responding to all emails and calls immediately, despite his backlog of larger projects. His team were all very courteous, worked hard, quickly, and carefully in high heat, and did a beautiful job renovating a highly deteriorated walk with high quality pavers and edging. It is beautiful. DO get an estimate, as mine was QUITE reasonable and by far the lowest of the three I got.

Chris was great to work with. He did a great job at communicating. He even called if he was going to be a few minutes late for an appointment. He was excellent at taking our ideas and coming up with a design. He came out to discus changes. His crew was topnotch too. They worked hard and answered our questions as they worked. They left the area cleaner than they found it. Chris came out and did some reseeding after several days of rain washed out some of the seed. We have and will recommend Chris to others.

This crew did a great job. I had a driveway put in and needed to replace a 3-4 foot wide strip indention of top soil that ran the length of the driveway on one side and around the edges. They then seeded. Straw wasn't on the initial work order but they contacted Chris who said to go ahead and do it. So I was very happy for that. Some companies offered a cheaper rate but these guys got it done quickly and did it well. I would highly recommend using their services.

Chris Locke and his crew did a great job on your backyard landscaping and hardscaping project. We interviewed a few contractors, but we chose him based on his reputation, some recommendations from friends and his competitive bid. He had some good ideas for the project and gave us options based on material choice and difference in cost. He broke down the price of his quote (price per sq ft or face foot) which made it easy for comparison to other quotes or for deciding whether we wanted to expand or reduce our project. His crew did a great job of cleaning up the site each day and the overall quality is excellent. He gives a good warranty on his workmanship and his installed plants. Overall, a great job and we would recommend him to our neighbors.

This was a complex installation because of the way the step, retaining wall, and window well interfaced. Chris Locke did an excellent job of working with us to formulate a design that is both functionally and aesthetically effective. The crew efficiently and skillfully completed the work, including integrating it with a brick patio that was already in place.

He was very professional and thorough. His quote was complete and detailed. Pricing seemed a bit high but it was for a large job so may be appropriate.

Chris Locke of Locke's Landscaping & Brick Paving did an outstanding job from design to finish on our front and side lawns. Incorporating my ideas into his design and implementing them to completion within a 2-day timeframe was amazing. He was very thorough and attentive to detail and his crew exhibited the upmost professionalism.
Description of Work: Needed complete revamping of front and side lawns. Rocks, shrubs and a dead tree needed to be removed. Wanted an updated look, as well as, a maintenance free landscape.

Had Locke come out the last week of June (29th) to give me a quote on landscaping work. We talked about the issues, he took pictures and was told he would get back to me midweek of the 4th. I ended up calling him late the following week 13th of July and he explained he had personnel issues and was delayed, but I should see something the following week. It's now the 7th of August and still no quote or call back or anything. I guess they have enough work to do they don't need mine.

Response from Locke's Landscaping & Brick Paving
I am sorry you did not receive your estimate. One was emailed to you on Monday July 17th, someone should have made a follow up call to make sure you received it. I can not confirm if that was placed or not. We strive to give our customers the best service. I apologize for the miscommunication. Chris Locke Locke's Landscaping LLC

Chris was very responsive starting with a rapid response when I requested a quote. He created a design within our budget. We had no idea on what would grow in this challenged area and what would look great. We discussed and modified a bit adding some landscaping blocks to match our current property. Chris took it upon himself to find a block that matched locally. He had great ideas and absorbed any input. The crew (great crew) finished the work in a couple days. Everything turned out exactly as described. The property looks fantastic. Chris is a man of his word and delivers.
Description of Work: Chris transformed a very steep hill area on our property.

Locke Landscaping arrived as discussed and completed the project in a timely manner. Chris and his crew were very professional and the final product was perfect. Chris was very easy to work with and addressed our issues/concerns. He has great customer service and strives hard to make his clients happy. Thank you, Chris! We will definitely hire Locke Landscaping again for future projects.

A. Great attention to detail of the work they performed B. The whole crew were gentlemen and were kind and nice 👍🏻 C. The lead person (sorry I did not get his name) was outstanding and worked to make sure you had customer stratification and of course we are very satisfied D. The finish work and clean up was over the top and totally unsuspecting that they would even grass seed the area next to the new stone E. And the cost was reasonable Can't say enough good things about the project and how Chris and his company handled everything Johnny Bergeron

The work went great. They notified us ahead of time when they were planning to start work and how long it would take. They showed up and made rapid progress and finished within a few days. The design they came up with for the landscaping was great. We couldn't have hoped for it to turn out better. Chris and his team were all very nice and great to interact with. I'm looking forward to using their services in the future.

I'm picky, detail orientated and somewhat micro managing. That written, I have to tell you - > Chris and his team were great to work with throughout the entire process of designing, scheduling and installing our large circular paver patio, boulder retaining wall and paver walkway. Locke's exceeded my expectations. My wife and I could not be happier with the results. Our installation was complicated. Requiring special planning and extreme attention to detail. The site required excavation, tree stump removal, relocation of existing plants, down-spout, sump pump discharge, irrigation and low-voltage lighting reconfiguration before installation. The preparation and installation were completed with great care to create the custom look we envisioned. The Locke's team: - Was courteous and respectful of our property and our neighbors - Took great care in cleaning up each day before leaving the site - Showed pride in the craftsmanship they exhibited, particularly pavers and the circular patio - Was as accurate as possible with pricing and materials estimates - Worked to actively communicate and coordinate scheduling Thanks Locke's Team.
