Bancroft Landscaping holds a 5-star Google rating from 5 ratings, and one of its jobs was an old hand-dug well. In a 2024 review, a customer wrote that they invited Mike Bancroft to examine the well, which had a poor-fitting cap, a jumble of rocks around it and no cover. That 2024 customer said Mike photo-documented the well and told them when he thought he would get to it, and that Mike's son, Casey, came out to start the repairs. According to that 2024 review, Casey removed the well cap, straightened out the walls and reset the cap, made a new cover by splitting one of the unused stones around the well, and finished by applying grass seed covered in hay. A 2023 customer said they first hired Bancroft Landscaping to mow their lawn, and wrote that along with mowing and landscaping, it built a granite curb in front of their house. A 2025 customer thanked the company for their front and back yards. In a 2022 review, a customer wrote about looking out the kitchen window at the landscaped backyard.
Thanks again for making our front & back yards look beautiful!
I invited Mike Bancroft to come out and examine my old hand-dug well with a poor fitting cap and a jumble of rocks around it. It was also missing its cover. I explained that my goal was to restore it back to its original design and preserve a piece of Maine. Mike was both knowledgeable and friendly and after examine the well told me that he could fix it. He photo documented the well and told me when he thought he would get to it. As my turn came, Mike's son, Casey, came out to start repairs. He had already been briefed and had seen the photos. I reiterated my desire to Casey and he was careful to include me in any decisions. He removed the well cap, straightened out the walls and reset the cap. He also made me a new cover by splitting one of the unused stones around the well. It came out beautifully. Casey finished up by applying grass seed which he covered in hay. All in all, it was a wonderful experience and I love the way my well came out.
Bancroft Landscaping was recommended to me when I was looking for someone to mow my lawn. During our initial visit, I mentioned a few other things I wanted to do around my property for landscaping. The vision Bancroft Landscaping had and then put forth has exceeded all my expectations. It is beautiful! Along with mowing and landscaping, they are able to do major projects. They built a curb for me out of granite in the front of my house. I am so grateful for all that they do!
Just looking out my kitchen window into the gorgeously landscaped backyard!! Thank you so much! You always kick off the season so amazingly for us!!
