MAK Landscape & Design Associates describes itself on Houzz as a landscape contracting firm offering personalized landscape design and installation to customers in Berkshire County. The same profile names Mitch Kellar as its designer/owner. Its website lists Barrington, Marlborough and Canaan as its service area and says the business has been operating for 24 years. One customer says MAK removed a failed in-ground pool, an old hot tub and an old patio and installed a drainage system for a swampy backyard. That customer says Mitch redesigned the space with a two-level patio, an outdoor kitchen, a hot tub and a gas fire pit, and the backyard is now dry. For one customer, MAK installed a stone patio; that customer called Mitch communicative, helpful and efficient. For another, MAK dug out and replaced an old driveway and added a turnaround. One customer had eight large trees cut down along a property line and hired MAK to redo the area; its design included a split rail fence and seven large evergreens in a mulch berm. A customer says that in spring 2025 MAK overhauled two large, overgrown flower beds, with Mitch removing trees, bushes and large rocks and helping pick plants suited to the region. That customer says it was their second project with MAK, that each took two days, and that the work site was left clean and safe at the end of each day. A customer writes that MAK's hardscaping transformed their outdoor space into one that feels beautiful and functional.

We hired MAK to remove our failed in-ground pool, (due to a VERY wet backyard), an old hot tub, and old patio, as well as install a drainage system to address our swampy backyard. Mitch completely redesigned the space, creating a beautiful two-level patio with an outdoor kitchen, with a hot tub, and gas fire pit. Mitch spent countless hours with us throughout the design process, making sure every detail was exactly what we wanted. He is knowledgeable, punctual, professional, and efficient, and he kept the work area immaculate throughout the entire project. We are absolutely thrilled with our new dry backyard! Mitch and the MAK team did an incredible job, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking to transform their outdoor space.
We recently had eight large trees cut down in our front yard on the property line. We hired Mac landscape to beautify the area. Their design included a split rail fence and seven large evergreens in a mulch berm. We are extremely pleased with the quality of their work and the beauty add it to our front yard.
MAK did a fantastic job installing our stone patio recently. Mitch was very communicative, helpful, and efficient. Would highly recommend!
MAK dug out and replaced our old driveway and added a turnaround. Exceptional work and efficient work ! Very very happy
In spring 2025 we hired MAK to overhaul two large, dated and overgrown flower beds. Mitch had to remove trees, bushes, and large rocks. Mitch was patient and knowledgeable during the design process. He assisted in picking out the correct plants for our region and left us well prepared to care for the investment in the years to come. The before and after photos speak for themself, an amazing transformation that changed the look of the home. This is the second time we have hired MAK for a project at our home. Both projects took two days. At the end of each day the work site was left clean and safe. His crew was polite, knowledgeable and conscientious of our property. I would gladly be a reference if needed.
