We recently had two maple trees planted by Caliper Farms. Angelo was extremely helpful with selecting the right size and placement of the trees. His crew was professional and did an excellent job of planting. We are 100% satisfied with their service. Thank you, Caliper!

I can't say enough about Caliper Farms, Tom and the crew. From the first step of talking about our design to the last step of walking through and learning how to care for the magic they created on our property! It was seamless and fun! Tom is very knowledgeable and honest about landscape design, including stone work, lighting and all aspects of plant life! We wanted to transform our plain yard to a classy, vibrant, and beautiful front yard that would be easy to maintain and a wonder to look at! Caliper delivered! We are so happy! Thank you so much Tom and crew!

Angelo and his crew delivered and planted a large Maple tree at the back of our house. Our house is situated on a slope and not easily accessible for heavy equipment. However, the well-trained Caliper Farms crew managed to maneuver the equipment and the large tree successfully. Their prices are reasonable and they provide excellent professional services. We'll continue to use them in the future. Highly recommended.

I am not a big fan of reviews as they can be very subjective but the service that we've received from Caliper Farms has been outstanding and first rate. Caliper was recommended to me by my arborist for some plantings I needed done in the summer and Tom and his crew were first class all the way. His knowledge base on what would work in my yard and the decisions that he made fixed the problem which my old landscaping company couldn't figure out for 4 years. Caliper now handles ALL of my landscaping needs and they have gone above & beyond on every job I have hired them for.
They recently did some Christmas decorating for us and Amy is truly an artist. Everyone I have dealt with at Caliper has been amazing and I am looking forward to doing business with them for many years to come!
