I made the absolute right decision going with Yard Right [Y.R.]! Mark and his son Matt were great! Mark & crew showed up on the appointed day, even though a crew member quit that same morning, worked all day, and was consistent regarding this work ethic for the duration of the project. Initially Mark estimated that the job would take 4 days, but because he had one less employee, for the first few days, the project took almost 7days. While Y.R. did manage to get additional help for two days, even short handed they never miss a beat. Along the way, I decided that I wanted stepping stones from the walking paths to the backyard, wood timber to trim around the back shed fencing, moving several boulders to accent the new pathways, etc.. Although the extra items pushed the final cost over my initial budget, it was well worth it. For the services rendered, it was great value for the money! I really appreciated that Mark did the work himself. Several owners indicated they’d send their workers and would come out to oversee the work, which I wasn’t comfortable with. But Mark was here each and every day and was fully engaged in the work, from the first shovel to the last brick. And talk about keeping his composure under pressure—having to deal with my ideas and changes, or watching my pup eat part of a crew member’s lunch, or mashing his finger when we were hunting for stepping stones—whatever it was, Mark kept going with a smile and good spirit. On the last day, he even picked up cinder blocks for me for another project only to find that they were the wrong blocks and then had to drive back across town to return them. This guy is as good as gold!! My next door neighbor who does his own brick work commented on what a great job Mark had done, as has several of my other neighbors. I’m very happy with the work that was done. I would definitely hire Yard Right Landscaping LLC again for landscaping work.
Description of Work: There were 4 areas of the yard that really needed attention: on one side of the house, because of shade and drainage problems a large bare area became a mud pit when it rained; on the other side of the house, next to a huge evergreen a walkway needed to be installed; behind the she-shed was uneven ground and weeds that needed to be tamed; and, finally all [7] beds in the front yard needed to be cleaned out, bordered and mulched. I went to Angie’s list and ID 8 possibilities, 6 of which actually provided bids for the job. When Mark Smith, owner of Yard Right [Y.R.] came out, as we walked around the yard, I immediately appreciated that he was cost conscious, and would suggest alternatives to what I was thinking about. Moreover, when I had additional questions, after receiving Y.R.’s initial bid, Mark came out again to clarify my queries. After reviewing all six bids, I selected YR because I felt comfortable with the owner.

Great! There were several trees and bushes that had gotten overgrown and we needed them either trimmed or removed.
Description of Work: We needed the lower limbs of 3 trees removed and several bushes cut down to the ground. We got Mark's name from Angie's List because Yard Right had such excellent reviews. We called and Mark got right back to us. We set up an appointment and he was even a few minutes early. He was very friendly and professional. We went over everything we wanted done and a few days later he sent us a detailed proposal. He arrived right at the agreed upon time with a helper to do the work and did all the pruning, trimming and bush removal. He took away all the bushes, limbs, etc. and overall did a great job . We are very pleased with how nice the area around the house now looks.

The pricing was good for what he did. I would use him again - sure.
It went GREAT! They did the work in phases to suit our schedules, over several weeks, finishing on 8/2/2016. Mark and his crew were always on time and worked very hard the entire time on-site. They were very meticulous in their work and always went the extra mile to make us happy. The difference in our back yard is literally night and day. Before, it was a dirt/rock/weed-filled area. Now it is an inviting space that anyone would want to enjoy. We are thrilled!
Description of Work: We have used YardRight for years to do general clean-up of the front and back yards twice a year. In the past, they also installed a gravel path and fire pit for us. The latest work that YardRight did was re-doing our back yard. They installed new landscape in our back yard around the shed, fence, and trees. They edged the gravel path around the fire pit, all the new flower and hosta beds with brick pavers we already had. When we ran out, they supplied the rest. They extended our brick patio, put gravel behind our shed for drainage. They removed weeds and grass from the backyard, graded it, grass seeded it --- using 4 yards topsoil, 3 yards mulch, 2 ton gravel, 1 ton sand, and cleaned up. Then they planted in my flower beds: 8+ Hostas, Blackeyed Susans, 3 Astilbe, 2 hydrangea bushes, 1 peony bush, 1 Allium, and 6 Hellebores.

The job went very well and the crew was efficient. I couldn't be happier with their work.
Description of Work: Installed 10' x 14' paver patio in the front of our home; pulled out several overgrown bushes; trimmed remaining games bushes and put down mulch.
Mark came out 3 times before we agreed on an estimate. He helped determine some specifications which reduced the final cost of the project. He was very professional and helpful at all times, arrived on time and completed the work on schedule. About 6 weeks after completion we noticed a water puddle forming at the base of the steps from our deck to the walkway due to the settling of the slope of the pavers. I sent Mark and email with a picture of the problem. He contacted me the next day and came out that day or the next and reset the pavers so the water drained to the yard. We were very impressed with the quality of his work and with his willingness to return and make the job right. We would not hesitate to hire Mark Smith of Yard Right Landscaping LLC again for landscaping work.
Description of Work: In addition to installation of the brick walkway described below, Mark Smith also built up a 20 ft x 10 ft terrace to provide a level surface for the walkway. And he removed existing flagstones & stacked them by garage.

Mark arrived on the date and time as agreed. He looked at the work I wanted him to price for me and shared this may be a little out of his ability to provide for me and shared a recommendation of the person I ultimately used to remove these trees. I will consult Mark in the future for work which is more suited for his company.
Description of Work: I wanted Mark to provide a price to remove 7 Ash Trees.

We were desperate to get our front lawn fixed in time to list our house for sale. Every other landscaper said either that the job was too small or could not be scheduled for another month. Mark squeezed us in and got the job done professionally and on time. We are very pleased.

Mark and his crew always do a fantastic job. I've lost count of how many years I've used their service. I always receive a return phone call within 48 hours of reaching out (leaving a voicemail message). Mark makes an effort to "squeeze" me in as early in the season as possible. Since I work from home, I have an opportunity to see when they arrive and depart. The work is done efficiently and everyone is friendly. My front and back yards look great every year. I'm always so impressed that I take an annual picture. In recent years, I've use this service provider for spring/fall clean up only, but Yard Righ Landscaping did all of the landscaping for me (both front yard and around back patio) for a reasonable price a few years ago. I also used Yard Right Landscaping for poison ivy removal last summer/fall.
Description of Work: Spring clean up for my residence which included weed and debris removal from flower/plant beds, edging, trimming and pruning of small bushes, "cutting back" of perennials and ornamental grass, and installation of mulch

Mark and the team were impressive from the start. The team worked extremely hard in the heat to get the job done on schedule. Their work was high quality and we were extremely happy with the end result. Mark was very thorough outlining the project plan and the anticipated schedule. His prices were reasonable and stayed on budget. He worked with us to make modifications to the original plan and was always available for any questions. We would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them for any future projects.
Description of Work: Yard Right built a paver stone patio with fire pit and landscaping in the back of our house. The patio also had a retaining wall on one side and seat walls on both corners.

I am so happy! Mark and his team did an awesome job. I couldn't be happier. I explained to him during the initial meeting what I would like done. You can tell he has many years of experience. My project turned out more beautiful than I ever imagined:) He kept the communication flowing with me throughout the process. His employees were very friendly and professional. The next time I have a landscape project, I will be calling him!

Looks beautiful! Front looks crisp and clean and so much better! The backyard is ready for grilling and swimming! Mark and his crew arrived right on time and got to work. In replanting front landscape, he moved around some of the existing perennials to a better spot. I really appreciated him working around some of the landscape that was already there and recycling it to other areas. We would definitely use Mark and his crew again and highly recommend him!
Description of Work: Updated front landscape: took out overgrown boxwoods, trimmed large tree, took out wacky weeping cherry. Replaced plants/trees with a combination of flowering and new trees. Defined landscape beds and mulched. Performed spring cleaning for backyard by removing dead perennials and debris. Defined all beds and mulched everything.

Mark was a pleasure to work with. From the estimate to the completion of work he was very personable, prompt & efficient. As a new homebuyer there were many plants I was not sure about removing/keeping as the yard was very overgrown and had not been tended to for at least 6-8 months. Mark took his time explaining what each plant was & the benefit of keeping it vs. ripping it out (like I was planning on doing to everything). We were able to schedule within a week of the estimate. His team came out & did a fantastic job. I hardly recognized the house when I drove by. The new neighbors even commented what a difference it was! Mark even came out the following day to re-trim some rose bushes that were a hazard for backing out of the driveway. Additionally he referred a lawn care company to us as the yard will definitely need some treatment. His referral called us to provide information about their services & see exactly what we needed. Overall Mark & his team did a tremendous job refreshing our new yard and the house looks great! Look forward to using them again in the future and would definitely recommend them to our friends. Thanks Mark!
Description of Work: Removed all overgrown plants, weeds, etc. Trimmed & shaped all the bushes at front & sides of home. Cleaned out 4 garden beds. Removed large tree-like weed. Trimmed back 3 rose bushes & 3 small trees. Mowed the lawn. Provided mulch for all areas & areas around trees.

I did have to follow-up a few days for the estimate but in fairness it was the busiest time of the year and Mark did come right out to look at the yard. I felt he was very professional and provided the estimate in a reasonable amount of time. When I got the estimate it was consistent with what we had discussed and fair. Mark and his crew removed boxwood stumps from side yard and lessened the slope of the yard so he could replace stone walkway and then seeded. Also shortened front flower beds and repotted some plants. Also reseeded and did an excellent job of weaving in the seeding with the mature yard. Mulched and edged flower beds. Agreed to additional mulching of recently self-weeded back yard for minimal extra which I really appreciated. I would definitely use again.
Description of Work: Promptly arrived to review the work and provided recommendations along with an estimate the next week. Did landscaping, mulching and reseeding.

They have done both the front garden and the back yard now and I've been pleased each time. They are always right on time, friendly, hard working, and do the job right. For the services rendered, it is good value for the money. I consider them my landscaping/yard service now and have referred them to others.

The beds look extremely nice and new, weed-free grass is taking hold. Nimbleweek in an older lawn is really stubborn to get rid of, so conquering it took two summers. Mark stuck with it until It appears to be pretty much licked. His workers are always courteous and thorough. Mark is easy to communicate with and has great follow-up. If he couldn't be here at pre-arranged time, he always called to keep me up to date.
Description of Work: Over span of two springs, perennial beds were weeded, edged, and mulched, bushes trimmed, etc. (Back yard 2012;front yard 2013) Portions of yard having nimbleweed were dug up, covered with new topsoil, and reseeded. Total cost of service listed is only for this summer.
