Client Testimonials

Bill Bodycot

All future customers of Marshall's Landscaping will be very pleased with Shawn and his crew for their skill and dedication to their project. We replaced and expanded our back patio. The crew's work was amazing in every aspect, down to every detail - true artists!
They were respectful of our property and cleaned up each day, assuring the newly paved front court was maintained -swept and hosed off. We greatly appreciated the grading and seeding at project completion. Looking forward to doing business with Marshall Landscaping in the future. Thanks Shawn!

Mary Kate Church

We’ve had 3 jobs now completed by Marshall’s. All hardscaping. The outcome is AMAZING. the work excellent. What a huge difference it’s made!! Started with the pool area, then replaced front walkway, and now a pad they joined to the previous work in the backyard leading to pool area. All the workers very professional and worked hard and quickly. We couldn’t believe how fast the last 2 jobs went. Thank you. We may be calling again!!

Rick Fraatz

We contracted with Marshall Landscaping to re-grade our backyard after it was damaged by all the heavy rain that occurred this past January. (See before and after pictures attached.) Additionally, we had them “refresh” the stones in two gardens in the front of our house. Shawn and his team did an excellent job and the finished product looks great. This is the second project we’ve had Marshall do over the past two years and like the first, we were very satisfied.

Bethany Heller

Great installation. The crew showed up every day and put some serious time in making sure the install was professional.
We would use Marshall in the future based on the hardscaping crew. I had total confidence in these guys that the work was correct.

Mike Kalajian

I had an old driveway that needed to be dug up and replaced, and I also wanted a walkway installed.
Shawn and his crew did an incredible job in putting it together, and it looks amazing!
It’s a concreted driveway, lined with pavers. The walkway is made of pavers with 8 lighted bricks that turn on based on a photosensor (could be timed if I wanted too).
These guys are hard workers and they do an incredible job. My neighbors love it, too!

RJ Jones

Very pleased with Marshall Landscaping. I find them to be reasonable, they do good quality work and have great customer service. They are always willing to try to accommodate any special request and I like the text notification to remind you of your schedule visit. This heads up gives me the chance to make sure the yard is free in clear before their arrival. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Joan Markow

Marshall's staff were very professional & courteous. It was very hot & humid. They did an excellent job of cleaning up all flower beds & changed out mulch for stones in the backyard beds. Besides prepping the beds for new mulch & stones, they also trimmed a cherry blossom tree in the front yard & added soil & grass seed in some bare spots in the front yard. Excellent job...highly recommend.

Laurie Brodie

I highly recommend Marshall Landscaping! They fully understood my goal and George and team worked tirelessly to complete the job as quickly as possible. They put in a French drain, buried the downspout runoff tube and created a beautiful bed and stone border along the sidewalk. So pretty! Thank you, George and Marshall Landscaping!

Lisa Katzmire.

We couldn't be happier with our new patio! Shawn was a pleasure to work with. Very reliable, dependable and professional. Scheduling a time to meet with Shawn for an estimate was timely and smooth; and discussing our ideas were well received. Their pricing is competitive and fair. The team did an amazing job - they worked very hard, always cleaned up, and the work they did was impeccable. They always greeted us with a smile and were happy to discuss the work. The patio is an extraordinary transformation from our old deck/layout. Marshall went above and beyond and we look forward to working with them again to discuss our next project. So happy with the final product/design! Highly recommended!
