Whether it's snow removal in the winter or landscaping during the warmer months, their team is responsive, hardworking, and pays attention to the details. It's such a relief knowing I can count on them to show up when they say they will and get the job done right. They truly care about their customers, and it shows in the quality of their work. If you're looking for a landscaping and snow removal company you can trust, this is the one!

All the team members were well trained and professional. It's a super friendly, creative team lead by John, and they completed the project on-time and within the budget. John and the team, thanks a lot!

The food here is always great and is a constant reminder of home. It is a treat to be able to see…read moreso many familiar items and take them home to enjoy over days. The restaurant serves many of the items sold in the middle store which is a lovely way to break up the day, especially if you don't feel like cooking. The pub is also a great treat as I can bring friends and family visiting from England for wonderful Fish and Chips together with a pint of Old Speckled Hen, taking me right back to the Lake district. Where else can you go within reason to take a trip back home and enjoy favourites from childhood? We have been returning here now for years - ever since they first opened in fact and Mavis was right at the counter. I hope that they will quickly find a suitable place to relocate to once the inevitable redevelopment takes place.

When we moved to the area recently, Whirlwind was THE company people told us was the best. The…read morereviews I read were great. They seem to offer the range of services I'm interested in-- maintenance, irrigation, and care for our well-designed beds and borders. Sadly, my two requests for a consult/quote remain unanswered, nearly a month after I contacted Whirlwind. Professional gardeners and plantpersons are a must for me. I've had crews who assured me they could deadhead and ended up topping a fothergilla in early May, digging out perennials because they "looked like weeds", and tearing lawns with dulled mower blades (hello, Laetisaria fuciformis). Ever the optimist, I'm trying again in this part of the state that values agriculture and best practices in the garden. Guess I'll have to keep trying.

They did our driveway which is large enough to park 4 full sized SUVs, a front and rear of our house. I need to mention that we live on a hill with idly placed trees. Whirlwind is amazing. Really!

I used to work for this company and the owner is really thorough in every aspect of all the work he…read moredoes. I learned a lot from him and was only there a short time. It was really hard work. I know there are a lot of landscaping companies out there but I know for a fact this guy is at the top of the list. Spring, summer, fall and winter, him and his crew dominate the competition. They work extremely hard and put in long hours. I've only seen one other company work as hard as this one does.

I have known Sue Reed for almost two decades and have closely observed all facets of her landscape…read morearchitecture practice, and I have had the opportunity to work with her on several of her projects. From the initial survey all the way through to the final installation, Sue works with a keen analytical mind, integrity and meticulous attention to both the overarching goals of the project and to the smallest of details. I have been in awe of her consistent ability to hear her clients' needs and dreams and to craft solutions that honor those desires while incorporating sustainable design, integrating energy savings, and strengthening native ecosystems in all of her designs. All of her work is highly customized to address the needs of the specific client: there is no such thing as one-size-fits-all in Sue Reed's approach, and every client is the recipient of 110% of her effort, time and creativity. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend her to any homeowner for any landscape design project---from the siting of a new house, to the improvement of drainage issues and driveway design, to making a home's landscape more functional, beautiful and elegant. She is simply the best.
