We couldn't be more pleased with our decision to go with Clarke Landscapes for our backyard renovation. Mather is truly an artist and will envision a perfect design for your area and his crews will turn it into a reality that will exceed your expectations. His guys are very professional and most have been working for Mather for 15+ years, so that should tell you something. If you're looking for high quality, this is it.

We had a wonderful experience with Mather at Clark landscapes when we installed our inground pool. Mather was one of many companies we had contacted to come take a look at the project and the the third one to visit us. We knew once we met him and heard his recommendations that is was not worth pursuing other quotes. Mather had great plans and designs for our space that no one else had thought of.

From the beginning, Mather and his employees were professional, respectful, on time, and hard working. We were amazed with the detail that was put into the patio and stone work, as well as the choices for plantings and locations. Mather himself was involved in every step and was always available when we had questions. Overall, we were so pleased with Mather's work and professionalism that we will have him back for our next project.

We chose Clarke Landscapes for an outdoor patio and kitchen to complete our house project. Mather was very personable and attentive in listening to our thoughts and ideas. Upon our second meeting to discuss his drawings it was very evident how creative he is and the dedication to a unique yet functional design. Once our project started, he was always available for questions and or concerns. His team is very knowledgeable, personable and hard working. They were also very helpful in explaining how the project was taking shape. I would highly recommend Clarke Landscapes for any of your outdoor living needs. Their quality of work is second to none.

Thank you Clark Landscapes for transforming our backyard into an extended living space! From concept to completion, Mather and his team managed every aspect of the project, including paving materials, granite countertops and steps, appliances, fire pit design, excavation, fencing, electrical, lighting, landscaping and irrigation. Dave remained communicative every step of the way to manage our expectations of the project's progress, while the crew of Jim, Chuck and Scott were exceptional to work with. Mather created a space that had everything we were looking for, and with his expertise and attention to detail, his team brought it to life! We would highly recommend Clarke Landscapes to anybody who is looking to create the perfect outdoor living space that will stand the test of time! Sincerely, Kristy & Matt Duddy

Amazing quality, extremely punctual and detailed. Workmanship incredible. So wish we had committed to this project sooner. The landscape plantings are in full bloom and gorgeous. What an amazing way to quarantine. Thank you Mather and your amazing team.

If you are like us and do an exhaustive amount of research before choosing a service provider, look no further! We could not have been happier with the service and professionalism we received from Mather and his team (Dave, Justin and Shaun). From helping us with design for the patio, landscaping and lighting options to showing up early every day and working hard to make it come alive, Mather and his crew delivered. They clearly have a passion for what they do and their work product is outstanding. We are thrilled with our outdoor space (as are our friends!) and highly recommend Clarke Landscapes.
