After speaking to four or five companies we decided to use Clarke Landscapes for our outdoor project, and I can tell you upon completion we made 100% the right decision. We had a basic idea of what we wanted, but it was really Mather's creativity, expertise and vision that is why our project has surpassed our expectations.
Here are some examples of landscape designs we have created for customers. Some customers have a very clear idea about what they are looking for and some look to us for an imaginative design. We take great care in providing a design that incorporates the requests of each customer, while seamlessly blending the new project with the surrounding yard and the existing home.
We are a growing and well respected landscape contractor looking for motivated and responsible individuals to join our team. We are a design/build company- WE DO NOT DO LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE! We build fun projects for great customers. Please do not apply if you are not serious about hardscaping. Job sites are in the Greater Hartford area.

We couldn't be more pleased with our decision to go with Clarke Landscapes for our backyard renovation. Mather is truly an artist and will envision a perfect design for your area and his crews will turn it into a reality that will exceed your expectations. His guys are very professional and most have been working for Mather for 15+ years, so that should tell you something. If you're looking for high quality, this is it.

Words alone cannot convey just how much we LOVED working with Mather and his crew at Clarke Landscapes. From the very first meeting to the last, Mather and his team were nothing but professional, considerate, meticulous and hard working. They, along with Aqua Pools (equally awesome), transformed our space into the backyard of our dreams. From the hardscape to the pool to the built-in grill/beverage fridge to the firepit.sometimes we get overwhelmed by how amazing it all turned out. Mather listened to what we wanted and came up with a brilliant design, then worked with us to make some minor changes.
He was always so accommodating, PATIENT and kind throughout the whole process (even when we were being nit-picky and probably quite annoying). It never seemed like we were bothering him; he was more than happy to listen to anything we suggested/questioned - he just wanted us to be happy with the final product. His team - specifically Dave, Justin and Mike - are some of the hardest working people we've met.
Not only do they work hard, arrive on time, stay late to deal with any issues that come up, etc. - but they actually care about the final product, as if it were their own home. They were proud of their work and it showed - every inch of our backyard is pure perfection. Justin and Mike became part of the family - we were sad to see them go! Dave does a phenomenal job with landscape lighting - you won't believe your eyes.
We are already looking forward to using Clarke Landscapes for the front of our house one day soon. We HIGHLY recommend them for your next outdoor project - you won't regret it.

We had a wonderful experience with Mather at Clark landscapes when we installed our inground pool. Mather was one of many companies we had contacted to come take a look at the project and the the third one to visit us. We knew once we met him and heard his recommendations that is was not worth pursuing other quotes. Mather had great plans and designs for our space that no one else had thought of.
From the beginning, Mather and his employees were professional, respectful, on time, and hard working. We were amazed with the detail that was put into the patio and stone work, as well as the choices for plantings and locations. Mather himself was involved in every step and was always available when we had questions. Overall, we were so pleased with Mather's work and professionalism that we will have him back for our next project.

We chose Clarke Landscapes for an outdoor patio and kitchen to complete our house project. Mather was very personable and attentive in listening to our thoughts and ideas. Upon our second meeting to discuss his drawings it was very evident how creative he is and the dedication to a unique yet functional design. Once our project started, he was always available for questions and or concerns.
His team is very knowledgeable, personable and hard working. They were also very helpful in explaining how the project was taking shape. I would highly recommend Clarke Landscapes for any of your outdoor living needs. Their quality of work is second to none.

Thank you Clark Landscapes for transforming our backyard into an extended living space! From concept to completion, Mather and his team managed every aspect of the project, including paving materials, granite countertops and steps, appliances, fire pit design, excavation, fencing, electrical, lighting, landscaping and irrigation. Dave remained communicative every step of the way to manage our expectations of the project's progress, while the crew of Jim, Chuck and Scott were exceptional to work with. Mather created a space that had everything we were looking for, and with his expertise and attention to detail, his team brought it to life!
We would highly recommend Clarke Landscapes to anybody who is looking to create the perfect outdoor living space that will stand the test of time! Sincerely, Kristy & Matt Duddy

I am one of those people who researches things obsessively before finally pulling the trigger. As such, I spent many years planning my landscape project before searching for a contractor. I eventually narrowed the pool to three and met with each to discuss the project. All three were competent firms, had designs that looked great, and had excellent portfolios.
In the end, Clarke Landscapes was the easy choice. Mather stood out from the rest with his thoughtful design and he came across as being a really genuine and good person. When you are hiring someone to work on your home, trust in your contractor is right up there with skill and vision. Oddly enough the designs I had thought I wanted all along ended up being transformed into something very different - in a good way.
I was stuck on straight lines and boxes and Mather convinced me that a less structured approach incorporating more curves would create a better result. Of course he was correct and our backyard was quite literally transformed - if the house wasn't there it would be unrecognizable as the same space. His team was great and paid attention to the smallest of details to ensure everything was perfect. I recommend Clarke Landscapes without hesitation and would use Mather and team again in a heartbeat.

If you are like us and do an exhaustive amount of research before choosing a service provider, look no further! We could not have been happier with the service and professionalism we received from Mather and his team (Dave, Justin and Shaun). From helping us with design for the patio, landscaping and lighting options to showing up early every day and working hard to make it come alive, Mather and his crew delivered.
They clearly have a passion for what they do and their work product is outstanding. We are thrilled with our outdoor space (as are our friends!) and highly recommend Clarke Landscapes.
