I want to thank Frank and his workers for the amazing job they did at my house. They were very professional, very cleaned and detail oriented to all my requests. Frank really went above and beyond to make sure all came out the way I wanted and I must say, everything was beyond my expectations. Thank you Frank! Will definitely recommend to anyone. Hands down the best company I had working at my house.

Scenic View solved a problem we had with a spot in the backyard that erodes in a heavy rain. They laid a membrane, covered it with stone and ran a border around the entire area. They also removed plants and grass to better define the area and improve drainage. And, they relocated my grill and on top of pavers they installed. From Mike, who reviewed the job and gave us the estimate, to Bravo and his crew who did the work on the the ground, everyone was professional, skilled and diligent. Couldn't be happier with the final result. I wouldn't hesitate to use Scenic View again, and will gladly recommend them to others. Thanks guys for a job well done.

I can’t say enough about Chris from Scenic View Landscaping. From my first meeting with Chris, he really listened to my ideas and came back with a great plan to replace my patio, install planters and seating walls and curbing as well as beautiful landscaping. Their work was excellent and on time. The overall project was beyond my expectations and I couldn’t be happier! Its just beautiful!

Thank you Scenic View for a fantastic plan for our major hardscaping and landscaping project that you completed in a timely and professional manner, and at a reasonable cost. We thought we had a good plan, but Ryan, the designer, came up with one that was infinitely better. Ryan stayed with the project every day until completion, and Frankie, the owner, also made sure things stayed on track. The crew that did the labor was meticulous and worked incredibly hard. Our tired, 1980’s landscaping was transformed by pavers, planting, new grass, and outdoor lighting. We are 100% satisfied with Scenic View Landscaping, and they’re nice guys too.

We looked around at a number of 'high-rated' landscape companies to help us redo our entire front landscape and more. Ours had been overgrown, with trees blocking the house and a walkway that sunk into the ground leaving a large first step to the porch. After we called a number of these companies, Scenic View sent Pat, one of their experienced sales and design people. First off, Pat was great. Comparing him to the other reps who came to talk to us is really not a fair comparison. Patient, helped with design ideas, concerned about the look and maintainability, deers, etc. Not only easy to work with, but eager to help you visualize the design and offers great 3D drawings by which we could review and modify our initial thoughts. Scenic View is a great one-stop-shop. Not only did we have them do the landscaping, which included removing 3 trees from our front yard, removing a whole bunch of bushes, leveling multiple beds that were built up with rocks and mulch, but also they redid our entire front porch. Although they had hoped to just remove the brick and relayer a new front, they came prepared for anything, and in the end, they removed the whole porch and rebuilt it, and helped us select beautiful veneer stone. We also had them do pavers from the street to the new front porch in an aesthetically appealing swerving design (laid out by Pat), and also extended to our driveway. They also put in a new walkway from our driveway to the back deck, giving guest a path to walk - especially when the grass was really wet. Finally, they put in low-voltage lights, with new lights throughout the front of the house and then pathway lights on the walkway to the driveway. To make sure there really was no mud, they laid sod down to all areas they had basically destroyed with the equipment and supplies that were trucked in. They also cleaned EVERYTHING! To say the transformation was large is an understatement. During the process, Scenic's owner, Frankie came and supervised part of the process too. He helped with new suggestions on the landscaping, made sure that adequate supplies were there (they needed more pavers), helped add new pathway lights, and in the end worked to ensure that everything was to our satisfaction. We ended up spending more than we originally thought we would, but we also finished off more than we had intended. It was a great investment. Our house picture at street level in Google earth showed a bunch of trees and what looked like a house hiding behind them. Now, the landscape, lights, and front are so good, the curb appeal is amazing. One last thing about Scenic's crews. We used two crews, one for the majority of the hardscapes, and clearing of old landscaping, and one for the back hardscape and all the landscape and sodding. Any company is only as good as its crews, and Scenic has winners. They were hardworking, dedicated, and when you speak to them, they will go out of their way to help you if you have a question or want something changed or fixed. They finished everything in 2 weeks. When I look back and ask myself "was this a good investment?", both my wife and I are extremely happy. Scenic even helped arrange and coordinate the new sprinkler system we installed to ensure it was done at the appropriate time, laid conduit under the pavers to allow them to run their lines, and Frank came back after all was done and the sod was laid to ensure that the heads would pop in the new grass. Comparing Pat, Frank, and all at a very professionally run Scenic View versus other contractors (even those who were recommended on this site) who didn't even provide quotes or drawings, and had less a full line of services, is really a no-brainer. Save yourself tons of aggravation and expense (Scenic is very reasonably priced), call Pat and Frank. Now I'll use them for my landscape maintenance too! Thanks, Scenic View!

Scenic view landscaping came highly recommended and they did not disappoint us. We had a total revision of the front yard landscaping, including paver walkways, sod and shrubbery. The backyard also received a makeover including removal of shrubs, revision of an existing bed, stone walkway and new grass seeded. We were very pleased with the results and have received numerous compliments. The overall project was very easy from concept to completion. Frankie Vaughn was very easy to work with and had excellent ideas for the landscaping. The men who completed the work were competent, diligent and very hard working. The work was completed in a timely manner, even though we had changed a few things along the way. At the end of the job everything was power washed, cleaned and ready to enjoy. We would definitely call them again.

They were almost the only landscapers that I contacted that didn't have a bad Yelp warning. Another company's guy came and promised to sent me an email with his cost proposal, but he never did in spite of the fact that I called him / them several times this summer without getting a response. Some landscaping companies that I contacted told me that they weren't taking on any new customers.

Frankie and the crew are professional and extremely reliable and efficient. I know they do a lot of commercial work as well, and the professionalism they show even on smaller jobs says a lot about the company and crew. .

Excellent. Experienced crew that had been working together for years. They showed and worked every day 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM. I was told job would take two weeks and that is what it took (despite the fact I expanded the scope of work mid project). Pricing was fair. The quality of work was excellent. Their suggestions were well thought out and helpful. Project came out even better than I had hoped it would.

The guys at Scenic View were a pleasure to work with. From the design through the completion of the project they were professional and took great care in the quality of their work. They installed a drain around my new pool, poured concrete, laid pavers and then finally did the landscaping with new lighting in the front and back and laid sod. The amount of compliments we have gotten from friends, family and neighbors has been great. Well worth it, and if I ever have work to do on my property I would not hesitate to use them again.

Scenic View did a phenomenal job from start to finish! From design to production I was met with guidance and expertise every step of the way. The crew was punctual, hard-working and courteous. I felt as though my needs were met and then some... before they started the job, they addressed all of my inquires and potential concerns in a timely, confident manner. They provided the counsel needed when I wasn’t sure about my decision-making and fulfilled all of my expectations. We extended our patio pavers, “revived” the existing pavers, installed a grill kitchen and fire pit along with ancillary landscaping. I couldn’t be more pleased with the level of service that was provided and would highly recommend Frank and his crew! The level of competence and professionalism is unmatched!

Jose and his crew are Excellent! JDH put in a new drip system and totally new landscaping, front rear and driveway side. We worked together to select a beautiful healthy collection of plants and trees. Jose planted a fabulous ground cover with large flagstones, so we don't have to have lawns mowed anymore. Lastly, his crew has been terrific maintaining our landscape. Definitely Recommend Jose!!!

We cannot recommend Scenic View enough. They were fantastic to work with start to finish. From the first meeting we were impressed with the professionalism, responsiveness and attention to detail Frank provided. His design perfectly captured everything we were looking for and he worked with all of our additions and tweaks as we went without hesitation. It made it so much easier to envision how the landscape would come out with the 3D design. The crew was also fantastic, we were so impressed with the meticulous work they did and the way they left the job clean every night and kept us informed of what they were doing and the timeline. Our front landscape looks amazing and we are so happy that we chose Scenic View and look forward to working with them again on future projects.

We have been thoroughly pleased with the services provided by Scenic View landscaping. We began using Frankie and his company many years ago when we lived in our first house. The designed and built a paver patio with custom grilling area in our backyard. Frankie created a design, so we were able to get the best use out of our small backyard. Scenic View also created a landscaped front yard for us that really improved the aesthetics of the front of our house. When we moved into our new house, we needed a company we could rely on to complete a large project to maximize our backyard space again. We didn’t even think twice about calling Frankie as Scenic View to help create the dream backyard we wanted. Again, Frankie designed and built us the backyard of our dreams. Scenic View created a retaining wall that allowed us to maximize our outdoor living space. Scenic View created a paver patio, paver walkways, and another outdoor kitchen area. They created an area for a detached garage for extra storage space. Frankie also included landscaping that helped finalize the look. The workers were always on time and polite. They completed both projects with the utmost professionalism. Communication and working with Frankie was always easy and reliable. He always listened to our needs and was able to take our vision and turn it into reality. He offered suggestions and ideas when we were uncertain of exactly what we wanted/were looking for. We have been so pleased with Scenic Views work that we switched to their weekly landscaping as well. Whenever we come up with a new idea for the backyard Scenic View is the only company we trust to complete it to our satisfaction. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about Scenic View and would recommend them to anyone looking for an honest and dependable landscaping company.

I just had the front of my house landscaped by Scenic View and I couldn't be happier. I met with multiple landscape companies prior to hiring Scenic View and decided to hire them because they took the time to explain the work they were going to perform as well as showing me a 3D design. The owner Frankie is a true gentleman and went above and beyond to ensure we were completely satisfied with the work that was performed. In addition the crew that worked on my house was amazing and they left the house spotless after the job was completed. The job was only completed a few days ago and I already had neighbors stop by and comment how beautiful the front of my house looks.I will absolutely use Scenic View for any future projects and plan on recommending them to my friends and family.

The Scenic View team did a fantastic job with my challenging landscape, building several wood and stone retaining walls, regrading a slope and adding plantings. The work started when they said it would, and the crew showed up and worked tirelessly all day for several weeks to get the job done on time. Everyone was pleasant and easy to work with. Highly recommend!
