Larry, Patty, Josh and the "guys" did an awesome job, that included initial design, planting of shrubs, perennials, and trees, as well as placement of rock, stone and mulch around our home and rear deck. Great design ideas and selection of plants for our home. They were meticulous with the job, and became more like family during the process. Nobody works any harder than Larry does to make a customer happy. We started last year and finished this year. We will no doubt find more to do for them in the future. Thank you for all of your input, ideas and hard work. Have a great summer!

Initially, Larry and Patty were extremely responsive. A date was set up for an estimate (4/6/19) and Larry and Patty showed up exactly on the time planned. During the consultation, both were very pleasant to talk to and understand the work that was to be needed. They told me to give them a week to write up an estimate and they would get back to me. As of 4/15/19, I still had not heard anything from Larry or Patty, so I messaged them asking if an estimate was completed. They apologized and stated that due to the busy season, they were running behind and an estimate would be completed shortly. That was understandable due to the seasonal type of business. However, it is now 5/1/19 and NO further communication has been received from Larry or Patty. No actual estimate and not even an update to state any estimate was being worked on. It appears to me that my job seemed to be second fiddle to any other job that may have been received. I even gave their number to a friend who called for an estimate and they never heard back from either Larry or Patty either. It would be a company I couldn't trust to get the job done on time, especially if I was to provide cash for any job.

Portions of lawn had to be reseeded due to grubs. Turned out to be more work than anticipated and they were here most of day with extra trips for top soil and seed. Great job. Will definitely have Larry back for some much needed landscaping next year!

Absolutely fantastic job! From the estimate to the completion of the work, it was a pleasure working with Joshua and Larry. We had an above ground pool removed. The pool was partially underground, so there was a large hole to fill. The job, which I thought would take two days, was done in less than one. The work included moving pebbles that surrounded the pool into the hole, adding about 18 yards of soil, and planting grass. Not only was the estimate of the job much better that others, Joshua and Larry added, at no extra charge, flattening a nearby hill so that we would have more usable lawn and seeding another area of our lawn that was bare. Throughout the work, Joshua or Larry, or both, were present. I really like that. I had a good feeling about Larry's Landscaping from the beginning, when Joshua came by to evaluate the work involved. When the work was done, my feeling was completely vindicated. Larry's Landscaping will be my first choice for any future landscaping needs.

Fabulous job and done on time when we were told it was going to be done.
Description of Work: Our front yard was redone as well as moving several existing plantings, Everything is beautifully placed and vibrant even for this time of the year. We also had some previous edging, installed by another landscaper incorrectly, repaired and it looks great. Looking forward to having additional work done next year.

Once again, they surpassed all my expectations. They are very personable and professional -- and so easy to work with. Larry attends to every small detail as if the property were his own and he was the one who would be enjoying it everyday. I highly recommend them!!!
Description of Work: Larry and his crew replaced my foundation plantings last year. I was thrilled with the quality of their work and had them back this year to replace some additional plants, extend the stone mulch I had done last year and do the annual edging and mulching.

Description of Work: Larry and his crew are one of the most attentive and friendly people to work with. Josh will work with you until every little detail has been addressed. No only they were responsive to my needs but also very flexible to the constant adjustments that needed to be made for our project to become a reality.

The initial estimate took some time to come. However Larry and Patty came by to look around and find out what we wanted. so they could provide us with an estimate. I was very impressed by their punctuality and attention to detail. They listened patiently to understand what we were looking for and gave us their recommendations and suggestions. Patty took some pictures, I am guessing to help put together an estimate. They said they would email us the estimate and we could go from there. It took a little while for them to get back to us with an estimate. The estimate was not unreasonable and the work was mostly done on time as scheduled.

EXCELLENT! The area looks beautiful now, and ready for the little shed I have. The plants were quite the touch. And bringing the river rock around the back of the house and around the corner, really finishes off the look.
Description of Work: I had at least a 12x20 area where my pool pump, pool heater and air conditioner were located. Larry and Patty suggested river rock and ornamental grass along the path. They also suggested taking the river rock along the back of my house.

Absolutely wonderful job. Our arborvitae are 40 years old and give us wonderful privacy around our pool. Larry and his crew came in and trimmed using hand clippers. When they were finished the arborvitae looked fabulous! Other landscapers that we had used electric trimmers leaving bare spots and they would look horrible, I dreaded having them trimmed every year because those bare spots would take forever to come back. When Larry was finished, NO BARE SPOTS, just trimmed and healthy looking. We will definitely hire back! He even did a couple of extra shrubs for us that we're not included in the estimate and didn't charge us. I was also extremely impressed when I saw Larry tying up branches that were loose. Larry is extremely knowledge about all shrubs and plants and will discuss any problems and give solutions. Awesome landscaper. Great crew also. Friendly and courteous. Great cleanup. Also quick response. I called for an estimate, they were there the next day. Four days after the estimate they were here trimming the shrubs. We couldn't be happier!!!!
Description of Work: ¨Trimmed approximately 50 arborvitae shrubs around our pool, plus two in the front of our home and a Japanese maple tree.

Wonderful, excellent and caring service. This is a local family run business. Larry,s wife and daughter returned my call, set up an appointment promptly and kept the appointment. Friendly, warm, and professional service. Many suggestions followed by a sketch, pictures of the shrubs with flexible option for change. On the day of the job, Larry and his crew worked with respect to our property as well as our neighbors. The finished job was beautiful. Larry actually finished spreading the mulch by hand. Perfection! Love our landscaping.

He did not provide me with the promised estimate. His wife and daughter showed up on 7/15, took pictures and spent about an hour discussing what I wanted done. They said that an estimate would be e-mailed to me in a week. It was never sent so I followed up with an e-mail on 7/23 and this was also ignored. I waited a few days and then called only to be reassured that they were behind and I could expect the estimate later that day. And no, there was no estimate sent out. Once again I waited a few days giving the benefit of the doubt but got nothing so I called them again. I told them my time was also important and that if they couldn't do it to just say so. There was a comment that Larry did not know if he could do the ground cover plantings on the slope in the yard. BUT that the estimate would be done and sent out to me by the next day. I even asked if it was because there were no time slots left and I was assured that there were openings on August 8. Of course there was no estimate sent to me. So far I have waited since July 15 for this estimate or at least an honest answer as to whether or not the work could be completed. There was not a miscommunication or a lost telephone number or email address. It was a fairly sizeable job and not a waste of their time either. I would have been willing to have them do part of the work if the company had limitations as to their ability to accomplish everything requested.

Larry's and Josh and their family of workers worked hard through some very hot days to really deliver results that were better than we had imagined. We will only use Larry's for any future landscaping needs. Actually we have already asked them to create a wild flower bed in our back yard in the coming weeks.
Description of Work: Larry's created several mulched beds for trees and plants around our house. They were even able to transplant some plants to save us money. They helped us design the layout of the beds and choose proper plants for the different areas. They were very flexible to some additions that we had when they came.

Larry's Landscaping is a local, family run business...and believe me...they treat you like you are a part of the family! "You want it where?...No problem!" Even if you change your mind and want it moved another foot over (after it's in the ground!) They even go the extra mile and take care of little things you didn't think of doing. And they are perfectionists! We received numerous compliments on the work they did in our front and back yards. Polite, experienced, great planting advice, punctual, and worth every dollar spent. Recommend them without any hesitation for big or small jobs.
Description of Work: Cleaned up garden area from winter, put in new landscape cloth when necessary, moved plants, put in new top soil, buried pots for new rock garden, brought in rocks for the rock garden, put down mulch for all areas, cut out new area n lawn around fence for lilac bush, cut clean edge around all garden/plant areas, and so much more.... basically anything we asked and we implemented the original plan.

Larry and his wife first came out and looked at the property with us and discussed how best to accomplish the changes we were looking for in our yard. We did this last year but started a bit late, and Larry's calendar was pretty booked. We didn't want to do the work in July-- not great for new plants-- so agreed we'd contact him again in the spring. We did so and he and his wife came out again. After this second consultation we visited a nursery to view some of the options for planting and Larry also sent us some pictures to help us. Once we had decided we were able to have them come within a month to do the work. Larry showed up as promised (i.e. on time) with his two sons. The three of them worked hard for two full days (about 18 hours total) and also had an additional helper for some of the second day. They were extremely professional; attentive to detail, asking and listening to our questions about various small details, and making sure the work was exactly as we wanted it. Larry and his sons are also pleasant and down to earth, and good communicators. We are very pleased with the results and would definitely highly recommend Larry's Landscaping.
Description of Work: Larry and his team removed two overgrown junipers, planted three Canadian hemlocks at our backyard border and a set of yews to replace one of the junipers. They seeded the extra area left barren after removal of one of the junipers and placed mulch in the other (all accordng to our directions in consultation with Larry). They also made a stone and mulch border around most of the house and trimmed a few low-hanging tree branches.

We decided to take advantage of the early spring and put our home on the market much earlier than we had expected to. Larry and his wife responded immediately to our request for a bid to clean up our yard, and started to do the work immediately after we agreed on a price. Larry made several suggestions on things that would improve the overall appearance of our yard, but not require a lot of effort to maintain. They completed the job quickly and professionally, and did an excellent job of cleaning up after they were done. This is the second time we've gotten help from this firm, and my only regret is that we didn't discover them years ago so that they could have done a lot of regular lawn maintenance. This is a family-owned business, and all of their work is either done or supervised by a family member. Larry is extremely proud of the work that he does, and he has absolutely earned the excellent reputation he has. I recommend his work without hesitation, he provides exceptional service at a very competitive price.
Description of Work: Larry's Landscaping redefined all of our flower beds by edging them, and then applied a fresh layer of mulch. They trimmed multiple shrubs to make them look better (and encourage new growth), and generally improved the "curb appeal" of our home as we prepared to put it on the market.

We have been piling compost material, leaves mostly, onto a low area of our backyard in hopes of one day leveling it off, seeding and making it a usable space. This low area has always remained wet and unusable with weeds of every variety growing freely so we just added our annual accumulation of leaf, lawn cuttings, etc on top so that one day we could have a higher and better drained property. We hired Larry's Landscaping to convert this area into a better place and he did! Larry was very professional, easy to work with, on time (actually a few days early...but that was a good thing), hard workers and quick! No complaints, excellent choice. We had three bidders, all Angie's Listed...Larry's was the best, thank you for all the good company's to choose from. Dan

This firm is fantastic. They returned my initial phone call the same day, arrived on time to prepare an estimate, made several suggestions on the best way to meet my objectives (including a couple that actually saved me money) and gave me a detailed quote. When they came to do the work they were on-time again, did a fantastic job and then completely cleaned up the work site of all the clippings from the shrubs. The gentleman who prepared the estimate also worked on the job, so there was absolutely no question about what was to be done. This is a small firm, but they completed the job far quicker than I imagined possible. As an added plus, two of the three men who did the work are recent military veterans. I have already booked them to help with some more landscaping work in the spring, and I look forward to working with them again.
Description of Work: Trimmed and shaped a number of large shrubs and small trees, reshaped a large bed that was filled with stone and added a truckload of additional decorative rock to the bed. They rearranged several large, decorative rocks that are in the bed to make a more balanced look, and reseated a large (3' by 4') square of concrete that is part of a walkway.

Larry, his son and his son's best friend did an outstanding job successfully completing a three day landscaping job. They worked all day each day rarely taking a break. They worked as an experienced team knowing what each other had to do. They were professional at all time and were courteous to me and my wife. They worked hard from the time they arrived until they left at the end of each work day. My wife and I are extremely pleased with the outcome of the project. We will not hesitate to recommend them to family and friends. In fact the next door neighbor is going to hire Larry next year for a major landscaping project.
