Since meeting him over twenty years ago, Richard McArdell has been a vital part of every project
we have worked on together. His knowledge of the entire design build process is invaluable and surpasses anyone I’ve ever worked with in the field. Richard is a fabulous landscape contractor, but he is so much more than that. He is kind, conscientious, easy to get along with, hardworking and honest to name a few of his many characteristics. I welcome any projects Richard is involved with and is happy to speak with anyone in further detail.

In my 40+ years of providing geotechnical engineering services in Marin County,
I have had many opportunities to work with McArdell Landscape on a variety of construction projects involving landscaping, drainage, decks/patios and retaining walls. Without exception, I have found Richard McArdell and his crews to be very professional, knowledgeable and to show great attention to detail in their work. It is always a distinct pleasure to work with them. And because of this, I never hesitate to recommend them to my clients!
Dennis H. Furby, Professional Geotechnical Engineer
We have been extremely pleased with Richard and his firm over several projects around our house in San Rafael, CA over the last 4 years.
The work has encompassed the following: demo and replace driveway, demo and replace existing planter/hardscape walls, construction of a fountain, pool deck and coping, extensive planting and landscape improvements including drip irrigation systems, landscape lighting, landscape paths and steps, etc. The quality of workmanship is exceptional.
Most of all, we have truly enjoyed Richard’s crews and in particular the on-site foremen (Larry and Curtis). Extremely professional, efficient, and responsive are frankly understatements. Richard’s crew’s show up promptly each morning and are extremely productive. The work site is always clean and the crews are courteous and helpful.
Richard has phenomenal resources available and a great source of ideas and information. Every project that we have done with him has been on time and on budget.
We highly recommend McArdell Landscape to anyone considering his services.

As a landscape architect who has worked for thirty years with many different landscape contractors,
As a landscape architect who has worked for thirty years with many different landscape contractors, I can say with certainty that Richard McArdell and his team at McArdell Landscape creates very high quality work. Richard is prompt with bidding deadlines, and once working on the project, he and his crew care deeply about the quality of their work and are extremely detail-oriented. One of their most valuable skills is communication. They always keep both the client and the landscape architect in the loop, and never make assumptions, always checking first with the client or myself. The most successful projects are those that have the best teamwork between the client, landscape architect and contractor. McArdell Landscape is an excellent team player, and has often brought ideas to the table that have made the project better.
