What Our Customers Are Saying
Denise G.
If you are seeking an outstanding landscaping company, I would highly recommend Scratching The Earth. Jeff and his team consistently exceed expectations, ensuring your project is completed to your utmost satisfaction. They have done exceptional work for us, including a lighted retaining wall, water feature, steps, pavers, and trees.
We are thoroughly pleased with their work and offer our highest recommendation. They are punctual and professional, and they leave the work area clean and tidy at the end of each day, which is greatly appreciated by homeowners. Thank you once again! Your crew is truly appreciated.
Kenny R.
Jeff at Scratching the Earth Landscaping, and his crew, did a fantastic job on our backyard patio and retaining wall. His crew was always on time and worked hard every day, as well as being respectful of my family while on the job.
I think my son said it best when he told me “You pay for the man’s expertise, not just the materials.” The patio and retaining wall turned out better than I ever expected. When the time comes to complete my project, Jeff will be the only call I will make. Thanks again, Jeff.
Gloria P.
It was a wonderful experience, working with such a great landscaper. He was everything that I hoped for as a professional landscaper. He listened to everything that I wanted my yard to look like, and he made it happen. The crew he had working on my property, respected everything that was mine, and worked wonders when it came to clean up.
My yard was not very big, but it was a big mess and in five days they transformed into a beautiful, beautiful backyard. Although the yard is completed, he still is checking back to make sure everything stays intact. I would recommend him or should I say scratching the Earth landscaping to anyone they’re welcome to come and look at my yard. They too, would want to hire him.
