Joe is a true professional - communicative, hard-working, and producing beautiful landscapes. We have enjoyed collaborating with Joe as he expertly manages the installation of Soake Pools over the last several years. We can't recommend him highly enough to customers on the Seacoast looking for their dream backyard transformation!
Joe could not have been a better partner to work with. We were able to collaborate every step of the way to ensure we got what we wanted but what also made sense. He took a blank space and transformed it into a showpiece. Additionally, his estimate was incredibly detailed and he provided updates on how we were tracking from a cost perspective and was incredibly flexible if we needed to adjust on the fly. It also provided us great comfort that Joe was onsite every day and his hands were constantly in the dirt. Personally, we will never use another landscaper. Joe’s knowledge and expertise is unsurpassed and he is a true artisan who cared as much about the work as we did.
Joe was fantastic! He responded quickly to our initial inquiry, gave us a detailed estimate, started the job on time and worked diligently to completion. He was communicative throughout the project and a pleasure to work with. We are very pleased with our new patio, stone steps and landscaping.
Joe transformed our yard in ME this past summer. It was a large project, involving tearing out the grass and plantings, building and installing beautiful bluestone walkways and raised firepit patio. With irrigation and lighting, our yard has become a destination for friends and neighbors. Joe had wonderful ideas for us to consider so we could have the yard of our dreams. He was an artist with the stone. We are very grateful for his hard work, inspired design, and flawless execution.
