"We hired Scratching the Earth Landscaping for a massive project for our 1 acre+ backyard. Jeff and his team did an incredible job. There was a lot of ground work to control potential flooding, retaining rock walls, custom fire, planting, and he also helped coordination of subcontractors for gas and water. He also built custom garden beds, and outdoor furniture. Very talented team. Awesome pricing. Will absolutely hire this team back for our front yard projects and anything else we need for the backyard. Scratching the Earth Landscaping has my highest recommendation."
"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."
"Jeff and his crew love their job and our house shows that attention. The retaining wall fashioned with a variety of boulders is the work of a true artist. The project was done in a timely manner with care every step of the way. Scratching the Earth exceeded our expectations, well done and thank you."
"Fantastic company and guys we used them for re doing our homes support pillars in red sandstone..professional and excellent work especially the stone work cannot recommend highly enough give them a call and speak to the owner Jeff!"

"We are extremely pleased with the work done by Scratching The Earth Landscaping. The crew worked exceptionally hard on hardscape as well as landscape projects. The work was stellar. Jeff is very easy to work with and responsive to questions and concerns."
"It was a wonderful experience, working with such a great landscaper. He was everything that I hoped for as a professional landscaper.
He listen 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."
"Jeff and his crew are absolutely AMAZING!!! They spent the last 3 months completely landscaping our entire front and back yards… new trees, shrubs, rock, retaining walls, fire pit…. everything. We gave Jeff creative freedom to run with it and are so glad we did! It turned out way better than we could have even imagined.
Jeff and his team showed up like clock work every single day, were beyond professional, and kept the property cleaned up at the end of every day.
Such a wonderful experience and phenomenal job!!"
"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."
"Jeff and his crew were wonderful to work with. Our project exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend Scratching The Earth Landscaping!"
"If you want a job done by a professional that will be quality and done right call Jeff. Jeff was able to make our backyard better than we expected. Their vision and ability are second to none.

"Jeff at Scratching The Earth Landscaping is outstanding to work with. He has done work for me off and on for about 10 years and the quality and customer service is always top notch. I hired him to design build a fairly large landscaping project at my house, he had free rein to do pretty much what he wanted and my wife and I are both very pleased. The landscaping is beautiful and his crew worked very hard and diligently.
They rebuilt/repaired existing retaining walls, installed a large brick paver patio that has a fire pit and seating area, installed drip system to new plants and trees, new decorative gravel with brick borders, and a lot more.

"I saw his work from my neighbor and another friend, they did an excellent job, cleaned up after themselves and was very nice and efficient. My yard looks great!"
"We had a wonderful experience using Jeff and his crew to landscape! Jeff met us at the property and came up with some beautiful and extremely unique design ideas for our space! He is extremely reliable and dependable, which is very hard to find right now. He gave us a fair estimate and an accurate start date, both of which he honored. Although our start date was sometime after our initial contact, Jeff showed up when he said he was going to and completed the project in its entirety before moving on to his next job. He uses quality materials and was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. Jeff is professional, reliable, dependable, and approachable! I can’t say enough nice things about him! Please consider using him for your landscaping needs. I know you will be as thrilled as we were!"
"Jeff and his crew went above and beyond to complete our job. They completely exceeded our expectations with their professionalism, punctuality and hard work.

"Jeff and his team recently did a landscaping job for us in our backyard and we are extremely happy with the way that it turned out! Jeff met or exceeded all our expectations and his attention to detail on the job was impressive. He was right on in terms of setting our expectations for how long the job would take and how much it would cost. He and his team showed up as expected every day and cleaned up every night before going home. I would highly recommend Scratching the Earth Landscaping for all your landscaping needs; Jeff is wonderful, and we love how our backyard turned out!"
"Jeff and his guys at Scratching the earth did such an amazing job on our yard! We did a huge renovation in our back yard adding a swimming pool. Jeff was able to come in and get our yard ready before the pool installation started to minimize the damage the pool installers would cause with their equipment. Once the pool was done, Jeff was on it and got our yard beautifully back together with some upgrades and added features. The pavers around the pool are amazing! The new firepit is truly one of a kind with the stacked stone..... it was so intricately laid piece by piece. Jeff was also able to fix/upgrade our waterfall that was done by a previous landscaper and not holding up. Our backyard is truly a dream come true and we couldn't be more thankful to Scratching the Earth for the beautiful work they did!"
"Love working with Jeff. He's good at listening and discussing ideas to make your outdoor space unique and personal. Job site is clean and picked up at end of every day. Very pleased with a water feature and a bricked in courtyard. Patio steps turned out amazing. I've scheduled my third outdoor project with Scratching The Earth Landscaping come spring. Can't waite."
"Jeff and Ryan have a great vision for landscaping. They listen and respond quickly to requests and concerns. We are enjoying our new backyard and patio. Many thanks to Jeff and Ryan for turning our backyard into a beautiful outdoor living space."
"Jeff and his crew did a phenomenal job! I love my backyard! I appreciate that he is working with my budget too. I can’t wait until spring for him to come back and add to the landscaping. My family is envious lol."
"Just one phone call every time I use him. I don’t have to supervise anything. Jeff did the original LANDSCAPPING 15 years ago and it is still amazing. Highly recommend him"
"We have used Scratching the Earth Landscaping for over 10 years. Jeff is awesome with planning the projects and seeing them through to the finish line. He is knowledgeable, efficient and very reasonable. I have and will continue to recommend him to others"
"Our landscaping project covers 1.5 acres and I can’t emphasize enough how pleased we are with the results. 6 years later it is truly our escape! You will not find a turn-key landscaper who is more reliable...in design, in timing, and in quality!"
"Jeff and his crew have done multiple projects for us. Always professional and willing to go above and beyond. Best Landscape Company in Farmington for sure."
"Scratching the Earth Landscaping put in a sprinkler system in for us. We live on 2 acres so it was a big job. Jeff, the owner, showed when he said, bid the job appropriately and came to work as scheduled. He did an excellent job going above and beyond to finish as promised. The system has worked GREAT without issue for more than 10 years now. I can wholeheartedly reccomend Jeff and Scratching the Earth Landscaping to make any of your ideas and dreams come to fruition. His experience, skill and artistry bring value, beauty, and a sense of peace to anything he creates. You wont be disappointed."
"The water feature that they built for me FAR EXCEEDED my expectations!!! It is truly an AMAZING work of art that I will enjoy for many years to come. Jeff is a master craftsman who has an incredible eye for design and aesthetics. I can’t say enough about Jeff and his crew, Cody and Ryan, two of the nicest, most creative, hard working guys. I highly recommend them and would give 10 stars if I could."
"When I called scratching the Earth I spoke to a gentleman named Jeff. I originally wanted a pond built and also needed other work. I chose to take care of my sprinklers 1st he replaced and completely put in a sprinkler system that is amazing in a timely manner. My grass is beautiful. I then had him build me a koi pond which he did an amazing job never missed A-day, was at work very early in the morning worked hard. I am thankful for this company Iwill use him for everything that I need. When I have a problem or my pond I give him a call and he calls me right back very responsible. Very helpful. Thank you Jeff for all you do for me."
