We've worked with Jennifer, the owner of Full Circle Landscaping, for the past year. We are so…read moreimpressed by her knowledge, skills, and customer service. We planned a complete overhaul of our backyard and she was there at every stage. First, she helped us understand what plants we had. She spent an hour with us teaching us about them and how to prune them and take care of them. When it came time to start our major project, she came to our house multiple times to talk about how plants would be laid out, and she met with our patio contractor in person to coordinate their efforts. Eventually, Jennifer and her crew came to plant a bunch of items, add mulch, and generally spruce things up. She had great advice at every step. The cost for her services was extremely reasonable. She provided invoices by email and was very communicative. There were also multiple instances when she suggested how we might accomplish some tasks ourselves so that we didn't have to pay her for them. She's also just a nice person, including when she brought our newborn son a birthday card. The fact that this is a woman-owned business and she has an all-woman landscaping crew is just the icing on the cake. We will look forward to calling on her again in the future. This business, and Jennifer in particular, is a total gem in the world of home and outdoor service providers.

The service and outcome received by CKC Landscaping far exceeded my expectations. I worked with…read moreKenny to landscape an area of my property in Gorham that I had cleared of trees - leveling it out and seeding it and it came out beautiful. Kenny had strong communication skills from the start and was very transparent on the timeline and cost. He and his team were friendly and respectful while they diligently worked on the project. Additionally, Kenny easily and efficiently managed an issue that arose while working on the project and handled it all. After hydro seeding the area Kenny checked in several times to ensure the grass was growing in properly and provided tips to encourage and maintain growth. Kenny's commitment to the project, strong communication skills and quality work are just a few reasons of many reasons I highly recommend working with CKC Landscaping.

Except for the massive dump of snow and the fact our snow blower is out, no way a box truck is getting up in the drive. This hero in a red Ford comes to my house same day, and plows the snow off the drive for the big old box truck. And for such an amazing price, so happy they could help me out!

Recently my husband and I engaged Coastal on a deck/yard renovation. Working with Jeff from Coastal…read morewas the best experience we've ever had working with a General Contractor. Jeff is endlessly knowledgeable, friendly, responsive and he is a consummate professional. He was with us every step of the way, following up with other partners, code officials etc., looking out for every detail and keeping everything moving quickly and efficiently. He worked with us on every aspect of the project and gave us the most fair pricing we could ask for. Due to circumstances beyond any of our control (lack of supply availability within our timeline due to the pandemic) we were unable to complete the project this year but we look forward to picking back up with Jeff where we left off next spring. The level of customer service we received was second to none and level of trust we have in him is rare to find. We could not recommend Jeff and his team at Coastal more highly -- if you are lucky enough to work with him you will be thrilled with the quality, customer service and honesty you will receive.

Chris was very responsive, he responded quickly after I sent a website inquiry, came for an initial consultation within just a couple days, and had a full estimate to me not long after. I received sketches and renderings of his proposed landscape plan, and he seemed to understand exactly what we wanted. He had great ideas but also was a good listener and took our ideas into account as well. He installed the landscaping over the course of spring 2020. He checked in several times in person to see how it was doing over the summer, and was always there to answer a call or email with any questions we had. A year later, all of the plants have come in beautifully, we did not lose even one over the winter. He did a meticulous spring cleanup, and we are so excited for year 2 of our landscaping looking better than ever!

"Earth is our element" - That's the very 'deep' message that greets you when you visit the website…read moreof Gnome Landscaping. And I believe it, because customers, or potential customers moreover, don't seem to be elemental to them at all. Each time I've contacted this company, I've been put off. Let me say, I'm super happy they're very busy. I love to know about local business thriving. However, contacting them late last winter/early spring to ask about lawncare and light landscaping for property I manage, I was told they'd not be able to get to it until summer. The guy I spoke to sounded irritated that I really needed, and was requesting at least a site visit within a month. Nope. No way. They're just too busy I was told. Cut to early December. They plow and sand my nextdoor neighbor's driveway. So, I call thinking I'd use them, they'd receive the business for doing the same thing they do for someone else just 15 feet away. Again, before I could even get my full request out, I was asked for my information to put on their "waiting list". ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Again, no bitterness toward their popularity, but if a company is THAT popular, would they not hire more seasonal workers? Or perhaps update their website with an honest "We're not accepting new customers?" Doing business with this company is not unlike attempting to visit one of the growing number of pretentious restaurants in Portland. There isn't even a pause of appreciation, just a rush to tell you they're really busy/important/"exclusive" and don't have time for your business. The second time was my bad so, I'll never go back, and I wouldn't recommend them to you or anyone else.
