I couldn't be happier that we chose Shoreline Landscape Design for the design and construction…read morephases of re-landscaping our front and back yards. They are an absolute pleasure to work with - very knowledgeable, very creative, conscientious about quality and budget, and friendly to be around. We collected a hodge podge of photos of gardens and landscaping that we liked. and had a couple of conversations with Larry. From that, he was able to create a cohesive design that perfectly fit our home, our needs, and our taste. We feel like we live in a resort now. Every time, I drive up to my home or go in my backyard, I have to pinch myself to believe that it is my house! Shoreline's design included redoing our pool, hardscape, softscape, building a waterfall that flows in three directions, an outdoor fire and seating, vegetable beds, drought tolerant planting, significant reduction of lawn, lighting, new driveway, and new front entrance. We hired a pool company to handle the pool (new piping, equipment, gas pipe, tiling, coping, and pebbletech finish.) Shoreline made sure that the pool company's work was seamless with the work they were doing. In fact there was an issue with the waterfall which was working off the control panel installed by the pool company. Shoreline did not want us to contact the pool company until they had redone all of their work (at their cost) to make sure the issue was not theirs (the issue was in the set-up of the control panel and should have been handled by the pool company.) Other than an electrician that we hired, all other work was done by Shoreline or the hardscape team that they often work with. Everything was supervised by Shoreline which made it quite easy for us. Everyone who comes in to our yard is impressed with the design and quality of work. Two people have asked us about holding events here! Even though the work was completed about two months ago, Shoreline Landscape comes by regularly to check out how things look, replace any plants that didn't make it, and make minor adjustments.Just today, they came by to cover our plants that need protection from the frost that is expected tonight. You can't ask for better service than that!

The BBQ, fountain and patio turned out absolutely stunning all in full range Blue Stone. All our friends and neighbors compliment us on how lovely our yard is now.

The results are fantastic. We made some small changes to the plan and we are really happy. Also happy not to have artificial turf. She said it's just a big piece of plastic that will someday sit in landfill. Enough said.

Two of my neighbors were so impressed, they hired him and the same guys to do work on their homes right after they wrapped up my front yard. I have very high standards and expectations, especially on my own home. This crew hit it out of the park. No corners cut and the small details are on point. I receive non-stop complements from people passing by. The job included a large driveway, lots of curvy walkways, flared steps, a retaining wall, and lighting features. It is clear the job was done by professionals. The jobsite was left clean at the end of each day, tools put away, no trash. The job was completed on time, without any sacrifices in quality. A+ work
