Chris, Alex and the team were great to work with; very professional, handled all aspects of the job (i.e. sprinkler lines, lights, etc.). We didn’t have to worry or coordinate anything with other contractors. The Landscape and backyard patio is beautiful. Our neighbors have backyard envy. ScenicView went above and beyond our expectations. We would highly recommend them.

From start to finish and beyond Frank was very prompt and professional and did an overall wonderful job. He tried to meet all of my requests and returned several times after the job was complete to make sure that I was happy and that everything was working the way that I expected it to. I would hire them again in an instant! I highly recommend Scenic View!

Frank, Gary and the crew were perfect. Always working hard, at the house everyday, cleaning up after themselves and being very courteous and professional. Whenever I had questions, because I was at my wits end with water in the basement, Frank would come over and walk me thru the plan and if any changes were needed we made them right away - and he didn’t nickel and dime me on the changes. We’ve had some big storms since the work was completed and my basement has remained completely dry!!! FYI - I tried a number of ways to stop the water from getting into my basement but Frank’s solution was the only one to work...
Description of Work: Had an issue with water in my basement. So they graded soul away from the house, flashed 1000sqft of heavy duty pond liner to the house below grade, covered it with stone dust and laid a 1,000sqft Blue Stone patio. And along the perimeter of the patio they installed an under ground French Drain and grade level catch basins that evacuated rain water runoff to the front yard away from my home. Then he sodded all the areas and left my property looking like the patio had been there for years.. Just perfect!!!

From start to finish, once again Frank and the guys at Scenic View transformed my backyard into a beautiful outdoor space. They built 2 sets of beautiful stairs leading from a new sliding door and my laundry room to an absolutely stunning pavered patio. They also built a small sitting ledge on a portion of the patio. Due to the configuration of my property I was limited as to what design I can do. Franks idea and design he did for me electronically was simple, yet perfect. From the design to the application I was so pleased with how it went. The work was done neatly and every day the guys cleaned up the property nicely. Kudos to the guys at Scenic View again! Frank is a true professional and always goes above and beyond. Thank you Scenic View!

Starting with the initial consultation with Frank, we had a good feeling about Scenic View. He was timely, professional, and very responsive to our questions and concerns. His crew, led by Alex, was also very professional and arrived on time each day. Their work showed an attention to detail that my wife and I very much appreciated. Frank and team were also more than accommodating of some minor changes we requested during the project. My wife and I are both more than pleased with the way our new patio and all of the other work turned out. I wouldn't hesitate at all to recommend Scenic View for any serious landscaping job.
Description of Work: The primary goal was to fix a grading issue with our existing patio that would result in water pooling near the foundation of our house. Instead of a basic repair, we took this opportunity to re-do our patio by expanding it, using new paver stones, and adding a pair of sitting walls with built in lighting. In addition, we also had Scenic View handle other miscellaneous backyard tasks such as tree removal, overgrown plant/shrub removal, and fixing other grading issues near our HVAC units and back fence.

The work completed by Scenic View Landscaping in my yard is nothing less than exceptional! My vision for my yard was beautifully met and the project was expertly completed. Frank and his team kept the timetable they set to get the work done. The workers were focused and very hard working. I am thrilled with the way they have transformed my yard! I can highly recommend this company to everyone and anyone that wants to have all their expectations met and even exceeded. The owner and his workers take great pride in their work and are very attentive to their customer's vision for their landscaping project. I personally am very grateful to have chosen Scenic Landscaping to turn my yard into a beautiful extension of my home!

Scenic view came and did a fantastic job. The crew worked very hard to get my yard back into shape and left it looking beautiful again. Scenic view is a very Professional company and I recommend them highly.
Description of Work: I needed Scenic View Landscaping to trim the shrubs and trees they installed several years ago. I had hired them in the past, but had decided to try to save money and hired a couple of amateurs to come and trim them. Well, I saved money, but the trees, shrubs, and landscaping became overgrown and out of control and it never looked as good as when Scenic View did it.

From start to finish Scenic View was far and away the best contractor we've had work on our home. Frank was prompt and courteous with his communications. To begin he came out to meet with us and get an idea of what we wanted for our landscape design. About a week later he came back with an estimate and initial 3D design plan which really helped to envision the outcome. From there he was amazingly patient as we tweaked and debated which plants we wanted and where we wanted it. He listened and provided insight into what would do best in our area. Every interaction we had with Frank was the utmost in professionalism. When work began the team assigned to our home was amazing. They were had working and diligent and clearly took pride in a job well done. Frank's initial estimate was 3-4 days to complete the job. The team finished everything in 2.5 days. It was incredible to watch. Anytime we mentioned to the team lead Alex that something still needed to be done he'd smile and say we know we just need to do xyz before we get there. (We eventually stopped pointing things out and let him do his job.) Again start to finish every member of the crew exercised professionalism and courtesy. We are thrilled with the end result and definitely recommend Scenic View Landscaping to anyone looking to do work on the outside of there home. We're already debating what the next project we'll have them help with around our home.

When we agreed to give them the job. He did tell us that it was going to be a few weeks before he could get to us. We didn't get to him early in the spring so his book of work had already been a fairly filled up. He was relatively kind of on point as to when he was going to get here, but you always wish the things could get done sooner. From the guy to who, I assume, is the owner to all the workers -- polite, friendly and I think they worked hard. I think I paid too much for what we got. He has been in touch with us I think my wife reviewed him on another site and gave him middle of the road scores. He got back in touch with us about what our problems were with him. He stripped out a lot of landscaping and then he replaced bushes and stuff, but we kind of feel like he left too many blank spots so he had has been calling us trying to come back. We have not been able to agree on when he could come back.
Description of Work: For landscaping I think the name of the company is Scenic View Landscaping. They did a complete yard cleanup, ripping out weeds and ripping out shrubs that we no longer needed. They did some hardscaping, meaning that they ripped out some rocks and bricks and replaced with a paver type design right outside the front door. They also ripped out a couple of trees and then replanted.

The owner Frank and his partner, Gary explained it would take no more than 2 days but were able to complete in one day. They provided me instructions on upkeep and watering scheduling for the plants and Frank also helped solved another water issue that we couldn't figure out and advised me on where and how it should be fixed. Also one of the plants died after 2 or so months and they are willing to replace the plant since I've followed through with keeping up onall the landscaping once the fall season returns. I love how they gave a computer visual prior to the start so I knew how things would flow with my house and they even provided me a base for a shed I had to build and coordinated the landscaping and privacy plants around that space. Highly recommend
Description of Work: I needed to have an exterior drainage system added with a clean out. Extensive landscaping in my backyard with privacy plants since previous owners neglected the yard and I didn't have my own fence. Also needed curb appeal and easy maintenance perriannual plants to front of the house with grading to prevent water from coming towards house and basement. I had to have my sewer and water line replaced so they coordinated with me and the plumbing team so my yard wouldn't look like a dumb yard.

Excellent. First met with Chris from the company who was excellent. Friendly and professional. A few weeks later the team came and did the job. I was amazed that the work took only a day to complete. All of the workers were friendly. Chris called and also emailed to make sure the job was to our satisfaction, which it was. Highly recommend Scenic View Landscaping.
Description of Work: Had an extensive yard clean up in the front and back of the house. Had new landscape fabric put down and new mulch. Also had a lot of ground cover removed along the back fence and replaced with a raised bed with stone around it and new plants in the back yard. Many over grown bushes were trimmed down and reshaped. Also had some pavers installed where our stamped concrete had cracked.

I hired Frankie Vaughan of Scenic View Landscaping to handle my backyard lawn. He treated my lawn issues, landscaping, beautification, lawn cleanup, I highly recommend ScenicView Landscaping in Middlesex County, because Frank, the owner, is simply so honest and thorough and reasonable. I had a small budget and he worked with us, regardless of how small or large the job is. With our lawn, he installed new grass, treated our old grass, mulch, and small trees and plants along the fence, which beautifies our yard now. Great job, excellent and polite crew. Call him, describe your issues, he will survey and give you estimates. We are more than pleased! The plants and flowers have bloomed now. Hope this helps. Mention my name, Larry.

Chris M. did an outstanding job at designing what needed to be done and listening to my “needs and wants”, yet providing invaluable input to ensure that decisions made would create an end result that EXCEEDED expectations. Your crew was courteous and efficient, and really “knew their stuff” and and Jose (the crew leader) did an amazing job with the rock garden below the patio (I can tell he is truly passionate about the work that he does). Your crew was able to “repurpose the rocks “gathered” from our property and to utilize plants from our current (over planted) landscaping to populate the newly created rock garden as well as gardens behind a retaining wall in the front of the house. We will definitely be using your services again and are interested in your “maintenance plans”.
Description of Work: Grass removed, ruts filled in, sod (front yard) - This part of the job was half of the cost.

When we bought our home the previous owners really let the property go. Frank, Gary, and their team really brought our property back to life. The crew took a lot of time measuring the new walkway and Gary provided me with lots of updates on how the work was going. We also had some last minute changes and Gary was patient and very accommodating. Gary also gave us great suggestions on which plants would work best for our yard. We have received many compliments from our neighbors and we would hire them again.

Outstanding! The crew leader made excellent suggestions, and asked for feedback and comment. Our overgrown holly bushes were shaped in a very creative way. The forsythia hedge that runs across the back was tamed and thinned. Unknown to us, there was poison oak in the back along the fence. It was removed. We are delighted with the job that was done. Something else is very important to us. When you contact this landscaper, he calls back immediately, Cost was reasonable.
