Kevin volunteered his time to help my son plan and…read morecarry out his Eagle Scout project, which was refurbishing a very old, run down, unsafe landscape island, including a retaining wall. It took about 7 months to plan and then complete. Kevin went above and beyond in helping to make this project a success. Kevin was always available to help any time my son called him to guide him through the planning. Kevin also donated materials for the project and delivered them himself. The island is beautiful and could not have been completed were it not for Kevin providing his landscaping expertise and making sure my son had all the knowledge and materials he needed. Thank you Kevin! I would highly recommend Macken Landscaping - they do amazing work and you can trust them to be fair and honest.

We can't thank Diego and his team enough for making our backyard so functional and amazing. We LOVE…read moreour backyard now. Every part of our yard has its own function and it looks great and feels great. We hang out, bbq, host in our backyard as much as we can. They fully gutted our backyard, leveled out, installed an extensive retaining wall, reinstalled the fence, installed new patio areas and stepping stones, and installed new sod. Diego and his crew worked SO HARD. Our project was done in July 2025 and it was so hot out, but Diego and his guys wanted to finish our project for us before the summer ended. Diego was always communicative, kind, professional, knowledgable, and such a pleasure to work with. He worked with us on our budget, gave us multiple options, and made the best recommendations. We're so grateful for Diego and his crews time and hard work! We even asked him for another smaller project and he completely delivered on that as well. He even fixed our fence door for us while he was at it. We'll be seeing if Diego is available on all our future projects! Many thanks to Diego and his crew.

Came home from work one day to find a large section of my retaining wall tumbled over into my…read moreneighbor's yard. The wall was originally built by the builder before we moved in mid 2004. The wall started to lean slightly within 5 years as it was not built with drainage in mind. This time around, I wanted the retaining wall build the right way. I called Charles and Son Construction & Landscaping to get an estimate because I prefer someone local and was pleased with their online reviews. Carlos arrived as scheduled to write up the estimate. He immediately suggested re-using the blocks since they seemed to be in decent condition and would save money. I met with another company the day prior and was originally planning on getting a 3rd estimate. After getting Carlos' very reasonable estimate and asking a few question regarding timeline, I approved the estimate and was ready to move forward. Just 3 days later, the work started and was finished just 4 days later with a Sunday and a rainy Monday that was a wash out. I was so pleased since this has been on my todo list for the last several years and relieved to have it done correctly. My neighbor was also pleased to get part of his yard back. I highly recommend Charles and Son Construction & Landscaping for any outdoor project. You won't be disappointed. I plan on calling Charles and Son Construction & Landscaping again in a couple of years for driveway and walkway pavers.

Carlos and his team did a great job installing a drainage system (and connect the gutters to them) to alleviate the problem and were able to do it quickly at a very reasonable rate.
