Clark's Landscaping Service

One of the bushes they installed last year died and they replaced it. This year the bushes all bloomed for the first time, and the replacement was the wrong color; it didn't match the others. When I notified Steve, he sent a guy out to put in the correct bush within a couple of days.

Clark's Landscaping (Clark's Nurseries then) landscaped our first house back in the mid-eighties. Dan was our designer and Dave was the foreman on the job. Imagine our surprise when we called them to landscape our new home and Dan again was our designer and Dave was our foreman on the job! The guys did a great job. It really looks fantastic and I highly recommend them to anyone. One bush died a few months after it was planted but it was replaced under warranty.

Critical: Quality After them doing some landscaping on our front lawn 2 years ago, there is a distinct line between our original grass and the grass they put down. I'm very unhappy with the work and will not recommend them.

Poor service, poor communication, poor work. I had a patio and landscaping project that was to be installed before the end of May. Six weeks later still no work and no communication. When I would call I would always be told I was next on the list and that rain and extra work with current projects had extended the time. I was told I had a 1 day project.

When they finally came they brought the wrong patio pavers, wrong plants, and employees who did not know how to install a patio. They installed the wrong type of sand/gravel under the pavers. The began laying the pavers furthest from the house first and were working their way towards the house. The underlaying sand was not leveled. They did not now how to grade the patio so rain would properly run off.

They didn't even know how much of a grade was needed. The lead could not figure out how many pavers were needed or how to arrange them in a simple design. On and on. I cancelled the project, got other bids, and was told each time that every aspect of the work was incorrect. Each contractor just shook their head at the mess. Everything had to be removed and the project had to be started all over again.

I was left with a mess and pavers that I found out were not top grade pavers thus would not lie flat when put in place. I called and emailed to voice my concerns yet I could not get ahold of Chuck. I left messages with the office staff and owner. Yet, they never addressed the concerns except to continue to try and assure me the employee putting in the patio was an expert with years of experience putting in patios!

Not good. Had them do backyard and deck late last fall. Misquotes, charged for plants that weren't installed, 7 months later and Cedar decking has issues. Called several times to ask them to address problems. No resolutions. I had used them years ago and had great service, but things have changed-for the worse.

Terrible service. Job came in 25% higher than the quote and we ended up with only about 70% completion of work that was quoted. Zero attention to detail, billing has been a complete nightmare as they up charged all over the place and even though we had almost 2 dozen less trees and plants installed than quoted they took none of that off the quote and added bits and pieces all over. Things that we were told to be normal parts of the job (like carefully handling the sprinklers) were a mess and we were again charged and up charged.

In the end we were slammed with a $12k plus bill for a landscape cleanup that is probably closer to $3-4k in work. In 20 years of owning multiple homes, restoring properties etc we have never been so ripped off on a service/value proposition. Please save yourself and do not use this company.

Beautiful planning, conscientious execution of the plan, and overall just plain nice people to work with. All in all, I'm so glad I chose Clark's Landscaping for this project. Everyone stops me and asks about my landscaping. Thank you!

My yard looks great. The employees were polite and knowledgeable. Two years on, I have the sharpest yard on the street. Great work.

It's been two years since my encounter with Clarks. About half the plants they installed have died in my yard, the evergreen tree they planted was defective from the get go.they told me it would be "fine".however, after 2 years it's still as bad as ever. I hired a different company to move it to the back yard out of sight. The paint on my gate they installed continues to flake off.

However the gate is well built (subcontracted). As you've read, communication is ridiculous. Good job on the paved walkway but they subcontracted this work. I hate to write negative reviews but I would never hire or recommend them. Nice guy and I do wish them well however.

Do not hire this company. They incorrectly and repeatedly misquoted our job; did not communicate between themselves; did not return our calls to contest suspect costs; and attempted to pry more $ from us after completion claiming laborer errors onsite were our financial responsibility. Poorly managed company and very disappointed.
