Fantastic service, professional, good communication, and fair pricing. Showed up when they said they would be there. Provided landscaping design and provided drawings. Explained the process of choosing specific plants, and after care of plants. Pricing is very fair compared to other firms that were contacted. Highly recommend.

Late last summer (2017) we contacted Landmark Landscaping to give the front of our home a new look. We met with Rob Stry and he listened to our ideas and our budget. He noticed that half the yard was sunny and half near the house was shady. He came back with better ideas including plants and a tree, and he made sure we were happy with his plan. It took 10 days for Landmark Landscaping to remove old plants and create the new look and WOW!
The front of our home has been transformed! It is beautiful and all of the plants have made it through the winter! They continue to show new growth today, the beginning of August 2018! Bill & Betty Height Nanticoke
