John Starkie treats YOUR home like it was HIS home. He was quite patient while i decided on the design as well as materials to be used. Because of the advent of cold weather, he was not able to lay down blacktop, so he postponed that portion until April and also postponed payment for that portion as well until fully completed. Hes a landscaping artist and i wholeheartedly - without hesitation - recommend him for your project.

John Starkie and his crew were awesome! John has a great eye and vision and is meticulous with the work that him and his crew perform. He's not the cheapest guy around, but you absolutely get what you pay for. He handled ever aspect of the job from drawings to pavers to driveway to picking plants. He contacted us and gave us multiple updates daily and was a pleasure to work with. You can tell that him and his crew have been doing this a long time. No delays, no issues and the job came out perfect. Was also done on time within the time frame that John stated up front. He will be my "go to" guy for any other work needed.
Description of Work: Wanted a full job including drawings, pavers, planting, new driveway, backyard, front yard done without having to use multiple contractors. Job also needed to seamlessly tie in with existing decking and landscaping.

They were a pleasure to work with - after some weather delays and not having help on my end George continued to work with me to find a time to deliver the topsoil I needed. They were great enough to go behind my gate with it to make it easier to spread in the backyard. I highly recommend working with George and Starkie Brothers.

New landscaping in the front of my house. The size of the area was approximately 50 feet in length and the 12-15 deep. They removed the stumps from all the old plantings I had removed. They planted approximately 50-60 different shrubs, trees, and perennials based on the design they presented us and agreed upon. In addition to the plantings they added fill and graded away from the house. The job at its conclusion looked amazing and appeared to be worth the money spent. However, fast forward and it seems that every year we are replacing several shrubs and the overall health of our signature Japanese maple is not what we feel it should be. As all plantings are guaranteed for the first year, Starkie Brothers replaced several shrubs that were not thriving no questions asked. To be fair we have not called them since the first year and maybe they would have replaced the others shrubs that we needed replacement. All dealings with Starkie Brothers was first rate. Very professional and attentive to your needs and provided a design that exceeded our expectations.
Description of Work: New Landscaping - front of personal residence. The area was approximately 50 to 60 feet long and approximately 10-12 feet deep.

Thank you for your review and the opportunity to address your concerns about plants that are not flourishing. Newly planted trees and shrubs need regular and consistent watering until root systems establish. This is harder to manage with out an automatic irrigation system, as is your case. Periodic applications of fertilizer to the soil beneath ornamental trees and shrubs are needed to replenish essential mineral elements and to promote healthy growth. We do offer a "Spring & Fall Plant Care Program" or just give us a call and we will be more then happy to recommend a fertilizer that you can apply that will suit your landscape plantings. Thank you once again, it was a pleasure working on your project. Best Regards

I highly recommend Starkie Brothers Landscaping - the planning was extremely detailed and they were able to complete the entire project in one day. Work was completed exceptionally well.
Description of Work: Our whole front yard was remodeled with custom landscaping. We were provided a layout drawing the previous week, and the whole project was completed in a single day. My wife and I are extremely happy with the work that was done and our yard looks great!

Description of Work: Starkie leveled my front yard and ripped out huge piles of roots with a small backhoe that were from a tree that Sandy dropped on my house. They planted two gardens on either side of my porch steps and installed a sod lawn. The results were terrific. They will be back in the fall for maintenance.
