Murphy's Lawn & Landscape

Job well done from start to finish

Good fast and quick and neat

Super fantastic

It was good and bad. The work they did was good. They came when they said they were going to come. But, it was clear from the beginning that for the guy who ran it, it was just sort of a come-on to add extra fees to it. Before they even showed up, he called me up to get my address so that he could send me the bills for the extras. They hadn't even been there yet. It clearly said in the write up that they would just bag the materials and leave it behind which we needed to take care of, which was easy to do. He hauled it away and charged me $100 to just haul a few bags. So it was $250. But he managed to figure out a way to add another $150 to it. Even though they did a good job, I wouldn't use them again and I wouldn't recommend them.

We had a big shade tree washing out. We wanted to save that tree. Pat was great in helping us plan a way to do that. Mike worked very steady and hard with lots of hand digging. Installed the wall and drain field. It looks great!!

They were on time, worked quickly, cleaned up and restored lawn. Wall is attractive.

The crew was prompt and professional. They did a great job making an unruley hedge look great!

The crew showed up on time. They listened to what I needed done and were clear about what it would cost. The work was done to my satisfaction and they gathered the trimmings and disposed of them. Pat Murphy and his crew are professional and respectful of my time limitions. My yard looks great and I will definitely have them come again next year.

They were effective, efficient and professional. The ash tree is still alive.

no service - but answered many questions with patience and offered sound advice - very much appreciated - saved me many dollars and headaches

I'm very happy with them. They were very prompt and very cooperative. They got a nicely edge in cutting the grass. They knew what they were doing.

Friendly and knowledgeable service for my lawn at a fair price.

I spoke to Pat Murphy on the phone and described the work needed. We scheduled an appointment to look at the area within the next couple of days. Pat arrived on time on the scheduled date and was very thorough in looking things over. He asked a number of questions and wanted to see where water was coming into the house and garage. He was able to see the problem areas and provide a solution. Pat has been very nice to work with thus far, and responsive. We look forward to Pat doing this project for us.

I used to use them. I wanted another service that could come earlier in the week for me. I just needed someone with a different schedule. I can't remember what they charge. They were a good company. They were great. They came regularly and they did a good job. I would recommend them. They do what they promised. They clean up after themselves. They are always tidy.

Murphy's is very prompt and professional. They do a very good job. Very reliable.

Called Murphy's Lawn and Landscaping for snow removal services, per an ad in our local paper. Took them several days to respond via phone. In that conversation, we talked general home location and cost, and the provider indicated he would get back to me with an firm bid. Several days passed, so I called again to express interest in contracting with him and left phone numbers for a call back. Our last call to this provider was 5 days ago, and still no response. UPDATE: Spoke with owner today after receiving a formal bid which he left at our front door. We are satisfied with his bid, and assume his company will do a great job with snow removal. We are signing the contract and mailing it in today. Looking forward to having this company do our snow removal throughout this winter season.

It was fine. It went well. They were consistent and my lawn looks nice.

The patio turned out quite good. The border is substandard. The layout is crooked, some of the bricks are buried too deeply, some one slanted. The patio garden edge dips down and forms a 'cavern' which is hard to mow and the soil and grass are above the height of the bricks. The snow arrived before completion and the brim couldn't be smooth and the rocks couldn't be crushed. I was told it would be done in spring of the following year. I called a couple of times and was told I was on the list, but as far as I can tell the same rocks and lumps are there, execpt for the ones I managed to move or break up. I approached the company last year about the edgers received an estimate to re-do the edgers.

It seemed to have come out really well and the work didn’t take that long. It looks like it is going to do the job it was intended for. They did a pretty good job. It was not super expensive. I would give them a good recommendation. I have not seen a lot of their work and I was not involved in it. They did a really good job for me and they didn’t take that long. It was a real good price because I got another estimate and it was much more involved and they were going to charge. The job that needed to be done was not that involved. They did exactly what I needed to be done. I had to just have the front part leading from the foundation re-sloped at a proper angle. They had to put some new rock after the plastic was put down. It came out really well. They came out when they said they were going to and in a fairly quick manner. They had it done the same day on which they started working on it.

Pat Murphy came out and spoke with us for quite a while about our extensive project and our desire to establish low maintenance landscaping. We also spoke with him about our concerns about saving cost and he provided several options to consider so we could stay within a reasonable budget. He also helped us with design suggestions. From the time we received the estimate to the start of work was just a few weeks. Start of work was delayed a few days due to weather, but Pat was communicated well to keep us informed as to scheduling. The work itself was completed in about three days, and we couldn't be more happy with the results. Pat and his crew did the work they said they would and exceeded our expectations in their attention to detail. They made small finishing improvements to the landscape that we hadn't discussed and which really made a difference. The result is a welcoming but tidy landscaped yard that we're thrilled with.

This was the second time we used Murphy Lawn & Landscape for our landscaping needs. Our goal was to improve our backyard to be much more usable, especially with young children. Murphy's bid for the job wasn't the lowest we received, but it wasn't the highest, either - and it was competitive with the other bids. His trustworthiness, professionalism, and the quality of his work on our previous job made the difference. Aside from weather delays, the project was completed in a timely manner, and we are thrilled with the results. Pat Murphy and his crew are extremely professional, respectful, and easy to work with. I especially appreciated Pat's flexibility when plans changed here or there as the project materialized. You can imagine how homeowners can drive these guys crazy from time to time with indecision, changing minds, etc., but Murphy and his crew rolled with it when I said things like, "can you add this in there, too?" or "no, let's put the garden here instead." They worked with us to make sure everything was just how we wanted it. Bottom line is you might find some cheaper options out there for landscaping work, but Murphy seems to take pride in his work and reputation, which isn't the case with everyone out there these days. All our neighbors - even ones we hadn't met before - keep giving us compliments on how our new yard looks, and you can tell it was done to look great for a long time. We'll definitely call him again the next time we need work done.

I cannot stress how impressed I was with Pat and his crew. They are a smaller company/crew in size but not in expertise and experience. They knew what they were doing from day one in what was the biggest project for us so far, something you are wary of given past experiences or horror stories about with some contractors, but Pat and his crew make it go smoothly and professionally. Pat and Eddie will come out to talk in detail about your job, giving you options and recommendations. We had an unusually long delay on our end, before we could start the work, but Pat was more than patient, keeping in touch to see when we were ready. Once work started Eddie and his crew were fast and efficient and on-time in their estimates, even given some bumps in the road. Unexpected issues with utility lines and the retaining wall were just that, even when they had to dig out the trench manually. They just relayed the information to me and made sure I knew why it may take longer. A similar thing happened with an unexpected extra layer of rock in one corner of the house as well, something else that wound up being more work than expected. Same result. We had some other relatively minor changes we made to the job once it started which were no issue at all. Pat is very helpful in discussing options and pricing. Given their excellent pricing and timelines to finish the work, and the ease of working with Pat and his crew, I will definitely use them again.

We asked several companies for estimates and PHM was the best response. Pat Murphy came over and spent about an hour with me, giving me options that I hadn't even considered, explaining to me the art and science of landscaping. He was clearly knowledgeable. He gave me an estimate right away and walked me through it so that I would understand all the charges. We hired Pat and his crew and they started work about a week or two later. They arrived exactly when they said they would. I was introduced to the foreman, Eddie, and the whole crew. They went over the job one more time with me to make sure we were all on the same page. The work went on for that whole day and the next day. They cleaned up after themselves the first day before going home. My neighbors and I were treated with respect throughout their work. There are a couple of things that made this a particularly good experience. The first was the patience of the crew with my many questions and change requests. In the middle of the job, I asked them to remove a rusty, sharp metal fence that was buried in cement for two feet under ground. They looked at it, gave me some ideas, and nicely agreed to remove it at a price that I thought was extremely fair. The second change I requested had to do with the shape and path of the brick walkway. Eddie put in the bricks four times on a particularly difficult curve without losing patience with me or even getting (at least outwardly) irritated. Their only comment was that it was important that I was happy with the end product. In the end, I do love my walkway. It now has a beautiful, wandering curve at the end that looks graceful. Our original agreement was that after all the grading was done they would re-seed the entire lot for a certain price or lay sod for about 800 dollars more. We chose the seed option. Near the end of the project, Pat said that he was worried that I wouldn't be happy with the germination of the seed given that it was so late in the season. He really wanted me to be pleased with the end results, so he cut the price for laying sod by more than half. My friends and family can't believe what a great deal that was. And Pat was right. I love my new green grass. Perhaps the best way to describe Pat's crew of four guys is through the eyes of my neighbor. She had several perennial plants that were growing intertwined with that old rusty metal fence. Before they took out that fence, the guys gently untangled those plants one at a time so that they would not be harmed in the removal of the fence. These guys are great.

Pat and Eddie and their team did outstanding work and we are thrilled with the results. Before, during and after the project, they were professional and communicated clearly about the work. They provided an accurate estimate, communicated about all the issues and challenges, and completed the work ahead of schedule. They provided a number of helpful recommendations on how to enhance the utility and beauty of our yard space with structure and plantings. They were considerate and responsive to our needs and wishes and were very pleasant to work with throughout the project. We were lucky that they became available earlier than we expected and they finished in the time they estimated, and ahead of schedule. Their dedication to their work, to quality results for us, and to their business was evident and respectable. They transformed our yard and patio into a beautiful, functional space that we expect to enjoy for years to come. We were impressed by how very hard-working the whole team was, and we appreciated it! We highly and confidently recommend this business to anyone who needs landscaping work done.
