Country Gardens of Bristol does landscaping and patio work, and its website lists a service area of Bristol, Burlington, Harwinton, Plymouth, Wolcott, Southington, Plainville and Farmington. The company says it has been in business 48 years. A customer said they hired Country Gardens to replace a pool patio and add a firepit, and that Jake coordinated the project and everyone worked every day until it was done. A customer said Jake and his crew were punctual and worked hard to stay on schedule on a new patio and faux grass around the pool. A customer said Jake helped design two sidewalks and the whole crew did the work. A customer had them put up a retaining wall and do regrading and hydroseeding. A customer said the install of artificial turf could not have been better. A 2026 customer said Jake met with them at the house to propose landscaping ideas and plantings, and that after many postponements the whole crew showed up and did the entire project in one day. A 2026 customer said the company installed arborvitae, redid a back patio and hydroseeded the back yard, and that the grass grew very fast. A customer wrote, "Stay away from this business and especially Jake Desmarais," calling it a terrible experience. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0555897, as expired, held by Country Gardens of Bristol Inc.
Did a great job! Had them out up a retaining wall as well as regrading & hydro seeding! Jake is very personable & will work with you on any lawn project
Can't say enough good things about this company. They are the best. Far exceeded our expectations. It was like they read our minds as to what we had invishened. Highly recommend.
We hired Country Gardens to replace our pool patio and add a firepit. We absolutely love how it transformed our back yard. It all came out beautifully. Jake did an amazing job coordinating this project. Everyone was so professional, courteous and worked everyday until it was done. Their work is high quality. We get compliments all the time and highly recommend them.
Jake and his crew were punctual, and worked hard to remain on schedule. The finished product, a new patio and faux grass around our pool, is transformative. This is due in large part to suggestions from Jake.
Jake and his team at Country Gardens has done a great job and has communicated well for us on a large, multi phase, mixed use development project where they hold the landscaping contract. I highly recommend Jake and Country Gardens!
