Garden Path Landscaping The Garden Path Lawn and Landscape Services, LLC, was established in 1997 by owners Chris and Ben Raines. This Hamilton-based company began as a simple lawn mowing service whose home was a small two-car garage in Lindenwald, Ohio. However, the company prided itself in its quality workmanship, relentless attention to detail, exceptional customer service, and a consistent, day-in and day-out, dedication to these ends.

This passionate approach led to success and an expanding number of happy customers. As the number of clients grew, so did the variety of services that the Garden Path was able to offer.

We've been using Garden Path for years for annual cleanup and grass fertilizer and have always been pleased. This year we did a full rip and replace of our old shrubbery. Perry and his team did an amazing job. Our house looks brand new! Highly recommend this company

This company does not even deserve 1 star. I would respectively give this company 0 stars if it were possible. The bid salesman was pushy, and very aggressive with the sale. At some points he came close to making he feel uncomfortable with the inappropriate jokes he shared with me to build his rapport. He was a very unprofessional man, whom almost costed his company my business.

I asked for a simple cleaning, additional mulch, a maple tree planted. I have a koi fish pond that I breed koi fish that have lived in my pod for 20+ years. When the landscapers decided to use the chronicles they use to kill weeds and pesticides, the chemicals they used around my pond killed 30% of my fish. They response I got " I wish you would have mentioned this to us before mrs silvana, we would have asked you to reconsider us tending around your pond ".

As if I'm supposed to accept the responsibility for you killing 30% my koi fish pond. Also, the landscapers of this company were much more worse than the salesman that came to my house. They were cussing every few minutes, they were making racist jokes, using the N word quiet often. They flicked their cigarette butts in my yard and left them there as if it were an ashtray.

They just made me regret welcoming them to my home. Please, who ever reads this, please consider a different company. This company is full of a bunch of racist, arrogant, unprofessional rednecks.

Garden Path did several great projects at our previous house, so they were the first call when we built a new home. They added over 500 square feet of outdoor living space including a fireplace and bar. The covered area fits perfectly with the existing structure. Chris, Rob, and the team are great to work with and always do quality work that they stand by. Highly recommended!

Garden Path Landscaping LLC exceeded our expectations. Our project consisted of a new 20'x40' pool, a 200' +/- 4'-0 landscape wall needed to level the site, a full pool house with bathroom, and outside kitchen plus outside lighting, landscaping, and hardscaping. Being in commercial construction business for over 40 years I was impressed with the crews from Garden Path.

They know their trade, they are neat, couteous and what is very important they work with other contractors on the project. Our project started in November and completed in April. Chris took the lead role in getting the right crews to the site at the right time. Due to their performance we kept them to treat our lawns.

We asked Chris to build a sculptured garden wall and stairways about a decade ago and liked the quality of the work and design so much that when we decided to add pavers and a Pergola to our back yard we asked Chris to help design and build that as well. We were very pleased with the experience with all the Garden Path employees, the support (and space) we received in the planning process, and the professionalism of the installation. The finished product is a major conversation point and asset to our property. Many Thanks.

We had a vision of a back yard pool and landscaped area, but were not sure how to bring it to life. Garden Path worked with us to create drawings and over the course of the project, they created something that will bring years of enjoyment to our family. Chris Raines and team left nothing to chance as they demonstrated great workmanship on a very large retaining wall, complete redesign of the landscaping plan and a fantastic inground pool.

Despite all of the supply chain challenges over the past year, the team did absolutely everything in their control to bring the project to completion as quickly as possible and on budget. We would recommend them highly for their workmanship but also for being a business of integrity with polite, professional employees who understand the value of creating trustworthiness when it comes to working in and around someone's home.

We had a seemingly impossible task.how to secure a hillside, make it look attractive and low maintenance. Not only did Garden Path have great ideas for handling this situation, they got the work completed efficiently. AND it looks great. This was one of the keys to transforming our backyard into a resort destination. We remodeled our pool and Garden Path Landscaping completed the cedar fence, secured the back hill with rip wrap, brought in dirt, leveled the backyard, new sod and installed a campfire style fire pit. Outstanding service and communication.

We use them for ALL our landscaping projects. They winterized our gardens, installed new landscaping in a feature bed in the front of our house. We look forward to them waking our gardens up this spring.

Garden Path brought our backyard oasis vision to life. Chris led our pool scape project seamlessly from start to finish. He, his crew and their contractors were always incredibly professional, respectful and courteous. The project ran like well oiled machine. Their attention to detail is impeccable and it shows. We have received several compliments on how beautiful everything turned out from the pool to the landscaping. We value not only the quality of work from this company but also the relationship as well. We look forward to utilizing their lawn care program this upcoming season.

When we moved back from California to Ohio, having an outdoor living oasis was an absolute must. We found a great house but the outdoor living space didn't exist. It was a start from scratch project! After interviewing several companies I was introduced to Chris Raines, owner of Garden Path Landscaping. Chris could not have been more professional or genuine.

He took the time to get to know us, our family, our lifestyle and our vision. Unlike most, he and his team do not work from cookie cutter templates. Everything was fully customized to our tastes. From the design work to working with us on budgeting and throughout the construction process I couldn't imagine it having gone any better. What I really appreciated was Chris's ability manage so many moving parts and people all while being our single point of communication for the entire project - landscaping, in-ground pool, pool decking, audio, lighting and electric.

The people Chris works with are also very professional and do amazing work. The entire project exceeded our expectations. Chris even found a way to give us a taste of California with our very own live Palm Tree planter box! I would highly recommend Garden Path Landscaping and Chris Raines. I will definitely continue working with this team for phase 2. 10+ out of 10!

Chris and the Garden Path Team are amazing! They did a magnificent job on a very large project for us. It included walls, paver patios, large decks, a two-story outdoor fireplace, and a water feature. The work was completed on schedule and far exceeded our wildest expectations. Every member of the Garden Path Team is professional, courteous, and customer focused.

They did such a great job that we had them do other projects including constructing a 30x40 ft building, exterior repairs to our home, and landscaping upgrades. Every job has exceeded our expectations. We also switched to Garden Path for the ongoing maintenance of our landscaping. Our yard has never looked better! The Garden Path Team is the best!

Garden Path Landscaping is simply the best company I have ever hired. It was our dream since moving into our home 8 years ago to have our property professionally landscaped around the house. There are quite a few garden areas and for every one of them at every step of the way they have consistently gone way above and beyond. They have treated our property as if it was their own, noticing details that were not even in the original scope of work and cheerfully taking care of them.

I have trusted them completely and they have made great choices in what they have planted and where they planted. I am extremely grateful and overwhelmed by the beautiful results. They have tried so hard to please us. What a pleasure to work with Garden Path and their team.

Dear Chris, Rob and the rest of the gang! How can we ever thank you for the wonderful patio and deck that we now have to enjoy? There are no words to describe your professionalism and attention to detail that has made our backyard look so great! Please let us know if we can help in anyway to showcase your work.

We love our patio! We really appreciate your attention to detail and your great ideas. We couldn't be happier! Our neighbors, friends, and relatives have seen the patio and are so surprised at how the Travertine looks and how different it is from what they are used to seeing. Thanks again for your skills and design. I took some photos of your work.

All went very well with the deck sealing. Your guys did a great job and were extremely friendly & professional. Also, I was doing some mulching that day & they helped carry the mulch around back for me! Not part of the job, but a huge help and I couldn't be more appreciative.

We have had wonderful experiences the three separate jobs we've used Garden Path. Most recently we worked with them on our new pool and backyard oasis. The quality of their work is top notch.

I have used GPL for a front yard transformation and for a backyard cleanup. Both jobs were handled with same degree of timeliness, good communication and importance. I had observed their work and work ethic and results for a couple of weeks as they completed a major project a couple of doors from me.

I first met Chris last year on a bird hunting trip in Alabama. On that trip I learned how passionate he was about his company. This passion translated into a beautiful backyard project GP constructed this spring.

Garden Path does a variety of commercial work for us including a residential development, a homeowner's association and commercial office building. They do outstanding work, including a total rework of the landscaping at our building in the fall of 2015.

We have used Garden Path for the last 3 years. Chris and Rob have come out after hours each spring to see list of stuff that I would like to have completed. All of their crews work their butts off in the heat of the summer and are always nice and professional.

After years of frustration with run-of-the-mill lawn care companies, five years my husband and I originally hired Garden Path for just lawn care and landscape maintenance. One by one, we got rid of our fertilizing and insect control service, snow removal, and irrigation companies and have it all under one very competent and customer-friendly business.

Thanks so much for an awesome job. We love it and everyone that has seen it loves it. Worked perfectly for the party and the newly unscreened in porch came in handy whaen it rained briefly. Enjoyed everyone that worked on the project. Pictures can be taken at no cost to you for marketing purposes after you clean up the pizza boxes and lemonade containers you left strewn about the yard.
