Chris and his team were very professional from the first time I met him. He was always on time, did what he said he would do, and worked with us on the design and installation of our backyard makeover. Chris did much of the work last fall, right after Thanksgiving. He came back in the early spring to complete the job. We had some concerns about the stone wall and he addressed them immediately. The finished project looks great and we are very happy with the way it turned out. I highly recommend Locke's Landscaping.

They were very good. They gave a good bid and they were fine. They came out pretty quick and gave me a bid on time. But I went with somebody else who were more structured and had more information.

Chris was great to deal with; very professional and knows his business. He and his crew were always on time and polite. The project start date had to be delayed because we had to wait on HOA approval for the project. Once the project commenced, it took his crew about solid 3 weeks to get all of the brick work and landscaping done. He then returned a few weeks later to install the fence after I had the irrigation and sod installed. We could not be more pleased with his work. I would definitely use him again if the need arises.
Description of Work: Installed Unilock pavers for driveway ribbons; removed concrete walkways to front door and side garage door and replaced both with Unilock pavers; installed a multi-level Unilock paver deck and stairs; coordinated the installation of a gas firepit; dug in all downspouts; installed landscape plants in front of house; and installed an aluminum fence.

Locke's communication throughout; beginning with out first initial call to ask them to come out and give us a quote, to the end of the physical work, was exceptional. Extremely informative in how to assist us in design, and a drawing was provided as to how the finished product would look. Locke's arrived as promised within the estimated date and time they said they would. We initially wrote a check to Locke's with a very minimum down payment. They arrived, introduced themselves, and immediately went to work. The work and finished product was well received by my wife and I. Great clean up and debris removal too !! I WILL call them to do more work in the very near future. Michael R Geromette Washington Township, Michigan 48094

I was put on the list and was told that they were booking about 6 to 8 weeks in advance. As it turned out they fit my one-day job in between two other jobs (about 4-5 weeks). There were five young men and the owner Chris Locke. It looks great and they took care of the area after they were done (clean up, etc.).
Description of Work: Locke landscaped along the side of my house. It is an area that is 40 feet long and they installed brick edging, plants, trees and shrubs.

Project went smoothly from start to finish. Only issue was the stone slab at top of steps continues fragmenting and fracturing off top "layers" of stone everywhere. Chris promised to exchange that slab with a leftover slab in the spring.

Chris came out and met with us to discuss our landscaping project. He reviewed our plan, gathered the requirements and later provided a written estimate for the labor and materials. We had a short time frame because of weather concerns this late in the year. Chris worked over the weekend to determine the cost and availability of the plantings and provide an estimate. We ended up going with another company based on a lower price, however, Chris was very professional and we would not hesitate to call him for a future project.

Had 22' x 21' brick paver patio installed. Looked fantastic. Some bricks were cracked in final tamping, they came right out when we called and replaced them. You could not tell the bricks that were removed and replaced. Very good job. Very good crew, took less than two days to complete. Would use them for any landscaping or hardscaping project.

They did an excellent job fixing our paver patio and adding a 10x10 addition. Redid the whole walkway and releveled the whole elevated patio. Very professional and cleaned up after themselves. Quality of work was excellent. Would highly recommend them over lowes or home depot.

I contacted Chris Locke in mid-April 2012 regarding this project and corresponded with him via phone and email over the following two weeks to finalize the details and sign off on the quote. His quote was in the middle of the range of estimates I received. The project was completed over two days, June 26 and 27. Chris and his four-man crew were extremely hard working, courteous and neat, and the workmanship was first class in all respects. I would not hesitate to use him again.
Description of Work: Transplanted a fairly large Japanese maple tree from the middle of our front walkway to another area of our front yard. Removed all pavers from the front walkway and replaced them with new pavers.

We did not have the full landscape plantings done because our budget ran out. We have to save that task for a later time. However, I did want to let others know what a pleasant experience I had working with Chris Locke. He was responsive to phone calls and emails -- very easy to work with (extremely likeable) and very conscientious. He handled the installation of our sprinkler system by Wilcox and came through for us by getting them to install it quickly. And the landscape design he worked up for us clearly demonstrated that he listened to our ideas and requirements. Anyone contacting him for a consultation will not be disappointed.
Description of Work: Designed complete landscape/hardscape for front, side and back of lake home. Installed underground sprinkler system.

Chirs was quick to respond, 10days-2 weeks later came with drawings and an estimate. Gave us a date for install ( approx 4 weeks out)Was a week late on his date for installation- he did not call me- I called him to find out what the new date was. crew then showed up 2 days early- with an hours notice ( which was not a problem) Chris arrived a couple of hours after they started working- I had to question their process as it was opposite of what Chris suggested- they were quick to call him and gain clarification. Crew was pleasant enough but honestly a couple of the guys made me uneasy. Chris changed one set of plants from his drawing, but was amenable to changing them out. Job was complete in 24 hours and looks wonderful. One shrub short of perfect which he is correcting.

Response from Locke's Landscaping & Brick Paving
I believe this member's statements are false. He could not have received estimates for the same work that I quoted at half the price. The material cost of the work quoted was over half of the cost, then you have to add a weeks worth of labor for a 4 man crew along with fuel costs and overhead. If he received quotes for $4000 less then they would be loosing money to complete the work. He had purchased a foreclosed home that had been empty for at least 2 years. The landscape was in very bad shape and he requested some things to be done and was given a estimate that included those things as well as everything else that I thought should be done to the property. I told him that I would look at any estimate he received and see if I could beat the price for the work they were quoting and show him the differences. I never did hear back from him after supplying the quote. The client also graded us with Bs in other areas such as punctuality. I arrived to his home 15 Min. before his scheduled time only to receive a phone call informing me he would be 10 min late, he did not show up until at least 30 min past our scheduled time. As you can see by our other reviews, our pricing is very competitive and our work is outstanding. This review was obviously only posted to hurt our reputation and should be ignored. Thank You Chris Locke Locke’s Landscaping LLC

I got them of Angie’s List. He did a really good and super job. I was really pleased with what he did. He came here and gave me his estimates and after we went through it he did everything. They were timely and did not take a long time. They completed the work within a day and a half. I would use them again in the future.

Locke's Landscaping was always prompt with every meeting including starting and completing the project. At any time there was a question, they always made sure we were consulted and together we determined what to do or not do. The landscaping looked fabulous when they were done but they didn't water the plants before they left and we had left for the weekend (they knew this). When we came back many of the plants were quite wilted but after much watering they looked better. The true test will be in the spring when the plants come back to life.
Description of Work: Our services included a variety of landscaping around our house. Many of the shrubs and trees had become overgrown. Locke's Landscaping was able to review what we had and draw out a new plan. With his proposal, together, we were able to come together to save or replace existing landscaping and work within my budget.

Didn't end up hiring them, but they came close to the company i did hire in terms of competitive pricing, but they weren't available to start the job for 3-5 weeks, whereas the other company was able to start right away. My experience with them quoting the job was positive and professional, and I would consider them again in the future.
Description of Work: I didn't end up hiring Locke's for the landscape work they quoted due to two factors, another estimate was slightly better in price and the other company was able to start the job sooner, whereas I would have had to wait 3-5 weeks with Locke's. They were competitive in their pricing, very responsive and professional, and I would consider them again in the future.
