Garden Guys Landscaping says it was founded by Jack Vose in 2016 as a high school summer hobby and has grown into a full-service landscaping company serving Southern Maine. Its website names Portland, South Portland, Westbrook, Falmouth, Cape Elizabeth, Scarborough, Gorham, Saco and Biddeford as its service area. One recent customer only called to ask which hydrangea the company had planted next door. Jack arranged for a team member to stop by, and Josh walked through the caller's own landscape project and offered recommendations on plant placement and design. A recent customer who retired from a one-man operation in 2019 said Garden Guys took over a few years ago and is not afraid of the bee hives. A recent customer said Brad and team transformed the lawn and that Jack communicates regularly. A 2025 customer said Garden Guys dethatched the lawn in early September, then did core aeration and overseeding the following week. A 2024 customer described a backyard rain garden built to soak up ponding, with river birch trees and other water-loving plants, completed by the end of the day. A 2023 customer said Jack met with them twice to plan a backyard renovation with new plantings, sod lawn and a new patio. A 2022 customer said the company removed 13 shrubs and was tidy and respectful. A 2025 HomeAdvisor customer said they had received multiple invoices for work done without being requested, then a $645 invoice for "extra work" after agreeing to a $410 quote. A 2025 customer wrote that the company did unauthorized work on their property and charged for it.
““There are no backpack leaf blowers on the market that are adequate replacements for what we currently use,” said Jack Vose, owner of Garden Guys Landscaping.”

Garden Guys just did some work at my property and their team was fantastic. They worked hard, were detailed in the work they did, and checked in with me that it all was exactly the way I hoped. Highly recommend.
Last summer, The Garden Guys transformed my neighbor's property with a beautiful landscape design. The plant selection, layout, and overall craftsmanship immediately caught my attention, and I've admired it ever since. Fast forward to this summer, as I started my own hands-on landscaping project, I found myself wondering what variety of hydrangea they had planted next door. I called The Garden Guys hoping they might be able to point me in the right direction. That's when I experienced what truly sets this company apart. I spoke with Jack, who remembered the project but wasn't completely certain which hydrangea had been used. Instead of simply ending the conversation there, he took the time to listen to what I was trying to accomplish, offered helpful suggestions, and even arranged for one of their team members to stop by my home to help identify the plants. Then Josh came out to my property, and what I expected to be a quick identification turned into something much more. He walked through my landscape project with me, answered my questions, shared his expertise, and offered thoughtful recommendations for plant placement, design, and the overall look of the yard. He never made me feel rushed and genuinely wanted to help. It's rare these days to find a company that provides this level of customer service and professionalism—especially when all I originally did was ask a simple question. The Garden Guys have earned my trust and my business. If this is how they treat someone who simply calls looking for advice, I can only imagine the level of care they provide to their landscaping customers. Five stars without hesitation. Highly recommended!
I was a one man operation for 20 years, retiring at 70 when hip replacement occurred in 2019. Garden Guys has taken over a few years ago and I couldn’t be happier. Well trained professionals do a thorough job, and they’re not afraid of mt bee hives. I would highly recommend.
Brad and team have done an excellent job. The lawn looks fantastic. It's truly transformational. Jack communicates regularly and meaningfully. Bravo!
