Ted Carter Inspired Landscapes

We worked with Ted’s team on a project over multiple years in two phases. Our home in Cape Elizabeth was built in the 1920s and we wanted a classic landscape to complement which Ted’s team delivered. We are extremely happy with both the look and functionality of the end product. Highly reccomend for landscape design and install.

We hired Ted Carter Inspired Landscapes to do a combination of plantings, landscaping and stonework. Their efforts were thorough and creative. The initial plotting and layout were exact and detailed. The stonework steps (front and back) are beautiful, as is the patio. The stonework is a lovely combination of cut stone and brick. The staff were consistently friendly, flexible and informative. One of their strengths is understanding what you (the customer) want, and melding that with their creative vision. We highly recommend Ted Carter Inspired Landscapes.

In 2024, we engaged the Ted Carter team for a complete backyard renovation. It included the addition of a large stone patio, several stone stairways, and extensive perennial beds using native species. We were simply delighted with the work from start to finish. From the planning exercises to developing and sticking to a budget and, finally, the installation, the team at Ted Carter was top-notch in every way. They are true experts in the field and we look forward to using them again in the future.

Highly recommended. We completed (summer 2024) a substantial, transformative and highly successful landscaping project with TCIL. It was a tricky project, a nearly complete overhaul of a matured, multi-generational landscape on a small footprint along the shore of Sebago Lake, Maine. We personally met every member of the team, and we could not have been more impressed. From design (Ted/Kari) to delivery (Harry/Noah/Charlie/Ben/Elijah/Isaiah/Hank) to details (Erik/Charlene), the entire team delivered. A special thank you to Harry and the entire on-site crew. We lived on-site during the entire process, and it was an actual pleasure to see and converse with them each day and to watch them employ their craft. We’re looking forward to next spring and to collaborating on other projects in the future!

Working with Ted and his amazing team has been a unique pleasure. They are creative, thoughtful, thorough, and amazingly responsive. Perhaps most important, each project feels like a true partnership in which we all collaborated fully to achieve beautiful and functional results. They are unfailingly professional and courteous. We would happily work with them again, if we needed such assistance, and recommend them without reservation.
