“Sharp Landscaping works on our yard all year round and has also done various ad hoc projects. I have referred them to many neighbors and local friends and continuously get compliments on how great our yard looks! Most recently, we took out some very mature landscaping and replaced it with something much simpler. Josh worked respectably within my budget, my taste and the yard continues to improve!”

“Michael Spence with Trillium Gardens did a fantastic job making over our front yard! Initially he came to our home for a consultation to determine what could be done. He provided a quote within a week and upon our acceptance of the quote, he scheduled our job for completion. We would certainly hire him again and definitely recommend him!”

“They did a fantastic job! I highly recommend them. I have a house on the James with a fantastic view I did not want obstructed. I also wanted a great patio, elevated to maximize the view. The old patio needed to be demolished. But because of poor rear access it needed to be carried by wheelbarrow to the front. The new pavers and fill also had to be hand wheeled back to the rear, about 20 pallets of heavy material. In addition to the patio I needed my front walk replaced. I am a VERY detailed person with and engineering background. Josh spent tons of time over a 6 months to help me design the patio to meet my needs. I also contacted 5 other companies that claimed design and build services. None of them took the time to design the patio and listen to my needs. On two occasions Josh drove me out to show me other projects he did and how they addressed problems like mine. It was interesting that the other home owners were so friendly and eager to show me Josh's work. I went with Commonwealth because of all the effort to address all my concerns before starting. During the work I had some changes. A added a gas line conduit for a fire-pit and grill and electrical wiring at no charge even though it was not in the plans. I think other companies make their money on these change orders. Commonwealth was not the highest quote, one was double Commonwealth. But among the final 4 contenders they were the highest. But for the amount and quality of work they did I got a real bargain. During construction they paid careful attention to drainage and wall strength. They were careful to install geo-fabric and tamp each layer of fill in. (there is a youtube time lapse video I posted that's amazing. There has been no structural movement after 7 months including many freeze cycles. . And for the front walk Serg (their foreman) discovered my existing walk was off center by 8 inches over a 50 foot run. Not much, but it is this attention to detail. All of their works were very courteous and they cleaned up great. (The before photo shows a PVC frame to help me visualize the site lines from my kitchen window.)”

“Quick, thorough, talented, I can't say enough great things about Mike's Lawn and Landscaping! Very professional, and exceptional work! Also provides a personal touch that is hard to find these days!”

“They did a total re-landscaping job in the front of our house. They were on time and did a fabulous job. We love everything they did. Very professional and friendly staff.”

“Jim is reliable and very capable. He has cared for our yard for years, his prices are reasonable. He recently installed a patio from our design which turned out perfectly. When we needed to redo our deck, he found us a contractor who worked with us very well. Definitely recommend.”

“Carville Landscape Co. did a front and back yard renovation for me. They took up an old brick patio and redid it using the original bricks but used proper base to make sure it was level and cleaned up the old bricks. It is beautiful and useful now. The did my front yard planting knockout roses and other plants which gave it color and balance. The design and planting was great and the price was right.”

“Nancy did a wonderful job of listening to our wants, needs and future plans for our yard and then articulated that into a wonderful design!”

“Patrick has been instrumental in making the outside of my house lovely!! He is so knowledgeable about everything having to do with plants, and always willing to explain things! I have thoroughly enjoyed working with him and will continue to use his company for many years. I have referred him many times to friends.”

“I am pleased to give my highest recommendation to ARL and Daniel Bradshaw. The landscaping work was completed beautifully, on schedule, and within the estimated budget. Thank you for dramatically improving the functionality and form of my landscaping. I look forward to continuing to request his services on more landscaping projects in the near future.”
