New 5.0-star Review: "Marvin is a joy to work with – he's talented, highly professional, efficient and meticulous. His team is terrific – hard-working, polite and great at what they do. I highly recommend Marvin, and will look to him for all my future landscaping needs.He transformed my landscaping from its tired, old and outdated style. He turned the exterior of my house into a showplace with a design that is fresh, elegant and timeless. He reshaped our stone path and patio, curving them so they echo the shape of our windows, reconstructed a crumbling stone wall, moved trees into better positions and ripped out our crowded old shrubbery, replacing it with flowering bushes. He also refreshed the landscaping around my in-ground pool, maintaining the privacy while getting rid of trees and bushes that were crowding the view. Everything turned out so much better than I could have imagined. Stellar work!"
