Mark and his team did an incredible job on our project. Their scope of work was a 5' retaining wall with drainage to control a large hill we have in our backyard, a pvc drainage system, pavers on the porch and patio, a dog run, a putting green, and artificial turf across the whole yard. They also designed the landscaping perfectly with plants and low voltage lighting which really makes our backyard spectacular at night. Additionally, on the porch they performed some framing work that has turned out amazing for our entertainment. Guests we've had over say it feels like a resort.
Throughout the project Mark communicated very well and was honest and upfront of all costs associated with the project. With such a large investment I was always asking Mark questions and he always picked up the phone to take the time to answer my questions. Mark knows the construction business extremely well and that wealth of knowledge made our backyard a little piece of paradise. I couldn't be more enthusiastic in recommending Artistic Landscapes for your next project, they truly know know so much about every aspect of the business.

We had our old concrete patio enlarged with pavers. We just couldn't be happier with our beautiful paver patio. We now have an awesome area to sit out and relax in our backyard. We highly recommend Mark and his crew!

We hired Mark to redesign our landscaping, build a walkway and an oversized fire pit as well as install stone steps at various locations. We are very happy with the work Mark and his crew did. After he started our project we asked him to do some additional work, including install landscape lighting and adding a drain pipe and repairing others, which he did. It's been almost a year and all the plants are filling in nicely and looking absolutely beautiful.
We get compliments often from family and friends. There were a few plants that did not take and Mark replaced them without question. He stands behind his work. This project was $36k. We would definitely use Mark again.
