Patrick and team were great to work with. They were reasonably priced, executed to the timeline and budget. They worked with me on landscape design and determining best options for dealing with drainage issues. I'd highly recommend them!

Patrick and his team are my go to for landscaping. They are communicative, easy to work with, and do excellent work. When I put a bid out to landscaping companies for my backyard, most companies didn't want to come out and only relied on photos I sent. Patrick came out to take a look at the project, do measurements, discussed what I was looking for, and provided recommendations. Their proposal was extremely detailed so I knew the work that would be completed and I liked that it came with recommendations for plants to install (especially ones that could tolerate the extreme cold during winter).

I asked for a quote from Matt the consultant, after I provided all my information and details of what I'm looking for, as requested. I then receive an email back that was very dismissive and abrupt. " Thank you for the information, unfortunately we wouldn't be able to help you on this one, good luck we hope you find someone that can help!" No explanation of why they cannot help. No questions for me, no chit chat to maybe see if there's anything I might prefer to do instead for my landscaping that would work better for me/and or them.

Absolutely no efforts given from this person. All the reviews I read for this company sounded solid and were all positive about the professionalism, ability to achieve the clients goals, and amazing execution with design. I received none of that. I see the photos from previous clients, their flowerbeds look amazing and it's pretty much what I described wanting. I'm not understanding why I was so quickly dismissed with no explanation.

I had a very unique vision and design that I wanted and Empire Landscaping executed it to perfection. Their attention to detail and desire to meet client expectations is a high priority for them and it shows in the final results.

Easiest project we have ever done! One phone call and several emails and "voila!" we have a new set of flowerbeds that are totally professional and beautiful. The crew was the best ever in our yard! Matt and Patrick are efficient and delightful managers and you won't go wrong with Empire!
