Messinger’s Hardscape builds stone patios, retaining walls and walkways, and it also plows and sands driveways. Its website names a service area running from Bucksport, Ellsworth and Orland to Brewer, Bangor, Hampden and Bar Harbor, and its 30 Google ratings average 4.8 stars. A 2025 customer said Ryan installed a bluestone front walkway at their house in Bar Harbor, called his price fair, and said he was clear about when he would arrive each day. A 2025 customer wrote that Ryan, Barry and the team built a new stone patio and, along the way, dealt with drainage issues and reinforced the fence. A 2025 customer said the company rebuilt a failing retaining wall and walkway. A 2025 customer with a summer home in Bar Harbor said they needed a retaining wall with pavers around it and described the process as painless. A recent customer in Bangor recommends the company for both landscaping and snow removal. A 2026 customer said they had used Messinger’s for plowing for two years and that Ryan always showed up when he said he would. A 2025 customer said they called in the morning for sand on an icy driveway and found it sanded a few hours later. On price, a 2026 reviewer who got a quote but did not hire the company said it came in at nearly 4x what competitors quoted for the same driveway, and that the company's follow-ups did not answer the reviewer's questions about the price.

We really like doing business with Messenger's because the service is professional and the project results are top notch.
Messinger's always does a superb job at our house in Bangor. Highly recommend for both landscaping and snow removal!
Recieved a quote from these folks. I did not hire them, but just wanted to leave a note here about the experience. They came in nearly 4x the price for the same driveway their competitors did. I asked several questions about the price, they continued to weirdly follow up with me without addressing any of my concerns. They may do good work, but be careful with these people. They tried to rip me off big time
Process was quick and easy transaction.
Great service. He was a life saver. Super prompt and professional.

Typical Maine range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Messinger’s Hardscape Landscaping and design. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Estimated range
$50 – $70
Typical landscaping service around $60
