Richard’s understanding and execution of our design plan was outstanding.

We completely trusted his judgment and he added valuable insights to our existing plan. Richard’s high degree of professionalism and strong communication were assets throughout the project. He is knowledgeable about costs and products, and savvy about good design. Richard and his entire crew were courteous and a pleasure to be around, which is important in undertaking a significant construction project. Richard is an expert at what he does and we knew we were in capable hands throughout the process.

My husband and I have used McArdell Landscape for over twenty years and the work has been absolutely outstanding.

We have always been impressed with the quality of the work, the timeliness in getting jobs done, the high quality of the materials used, and the friendliness and work ethic of the employees. Sometimes we weren't able to be at home when work had to be done but never came back disappointed with any aspect of the job. I would highly recommend McArdell Landscape.

Sally and I have enjoyed working with McArdell Landscape for many years.

They have been reliable, fair and true professionals in all respects.

Good luck to you and it will not be long before Sally comes up with another project for McArdell Landscape Inc.!

I have used McArdell Landscape twice and I have been incredibly happy both times.

They finish when the say they are going to finish and they let you know if your changes increase the proposed budget. His employees are first rate - friendly and efficient. I highly recommend Richard McArdell and his well-trained staff.

I could not have been more pleased with McArdell Landscape.

We did a large project and the crew worked very hard all day. They were courteous, friendly and accommodating to anything I requested. When the workday was done, they cleaned up the site completely. Even the neighbors were complimentary of how tidy, hardworking and quiet they were. Any changes that occurred, that affected the cost of the job were discussed ahead of time with additional cost estimates provided in writing and signed by both parties. We have also been very pleased with any follow-up adjustments that the job required.

We are very happy with the high-quality work that Richard and his crew did for us.

The work they did on our property was extensive: over the course of five months, they installed a new irrigation system, re-planted throughout our property, and designed and built new stone patios and a variety of play features for our kids. Richard was at the project site daily to check on progress and make sure that things ran smoothly. His crew chief, Curtis, is a very pleasant, professional and knowledgeable person, and we trusted him completely and felt fortunate to have him in charge of the day-to-day work on our property. Both Richard and Curtis communicated clearly with us throughout the project, always very responsive to our questions and concerns about timelines and costs. Ongoing landscaping work can take a toll on homeowners. Our project ran as smoothly as it did because Richard and his team are respectful, helpful and efficient. Once our project was completed, Richard and his team continued to treat us as a "priority", proactively checking on our irrigation system and plants in a reliable, timely way. We will hire them again and continue to recommend them to our friends and neighbors.

We have worked with McArdell Landscape on three substantial projects over the past 30 years and each time we were thrilled with the results.

Richard and his team are skilled professionals with an attention to detail that makes their work stand out. Their creative design concepts and project implementation, including plant selection and the construction of multiple flagstone patios and rock walls have transformed our dream into reality.

Richard McArdell is a class act.

Over the past decade we've involved his team on each of our landscaping, fence building and rockwork projects. The quality of the work has been outstanding. Even the building inspectors have been impressed. Equally important, the work has stood the test of time. We long ago stopped bidding out our exterior projects.

My husband and I have recently completed another Landscape project with Richard McArdell and team.

Our garden is beautiful now, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Their team is able to do everything in the garden. Such as patios, pavers, walk ways, stonewalls, drainage, plants, irrigation, fences, gates, and everything in between. I think we had it all on this project. This is the fourth project we’ve done with McArdell Landscape spanning over 30 years. Richard’s staff is happy, friendly, neat, hard working and very nice to have around. When you have a project that has a lot of depth to it the guys can be at your house for several months, so that is really nice to have pleasant workers. We still own the house that we remodeled the garden in 1982 and it still looks great. We highly recommend Richard and McArdell Landscape, Inc. Do it once and do it right. In the long run you’ll be happier.

We hired McArdell Landscape as our landscape contractor in 2008.

The project involved installing all new planting on an empty lot - mature trees, a wide variety of plants and flowers, lawn, plus irrigation and lighting. We had built a new home and our desire was to have the landscaping look like it had been there for years. Richard and his crew (Larry Davidson as the lead man) were incredible. They arrived on time, his entire crew was outstanding and we were kept informed as the project progressed. The day we moved into our home, the landscaping was almost complete and it did look like we had lived with this lovely mature garden for years. As a testimonial to McArdell Landscapes work, our home was asked to be on a local garden tour several years ago. The comment said over and over again by people visiting our home then and to this day, your home and garden look like you've always lived here - just what we asked McArdell Landscape to achieve and he and his team did! We have recommended Richard to other friends for landscaping projects and everyone has been very pleased to work with McArdell Landscape.

Richard and his crew did an excellent job for us when we completely re-landscaped half of our yard.

McArdell Landscape has a can-do attitude. When we would suggest something, Richard went about figuring out how to make it work. His knowledge of soil, plants, structure, irrigation, grading, lighting and much more is evident throughout our project.  He worked really well with our landscape architect, making suggestions for improvements and responding to her suggestions. They really worked as a team to make the project such a success.  McArdell Landscape has been incredibly responsible even after the project was finished. (When one of us hit a landscape light with the car, Richard's foreman was over the next day to fix it.) Richard and his crew take personal pride in making sure the project is the best it can be not only for their customer but also for themselves.
