Nickens did a fantastic job putting in my patio and rerouting my roof drain. Also did an awesome job on leveling and rocking my driveway.
Need to have our drainage ditch embankment cleaned up and install some rip rap. Nickens did a great job cleaning it all up and rebuilding the embankment with rip rap. Plus added additional rock between the embankment and the garage. Great job!
We totally recommend Nickens Landscape! Nickens built a beautiful patio addition to our backyard. The crew was very professional and wasted no time getting the job done. So glad we chose Nickens!

The work was scheduled really quickly. On the day of the job he and his crew arrived when they said they would. Got the job done when they said they would. What impressed me most though was their attention to little things. We've had other landscape work done where they tore the crap out of the yard. Not the case with Alex and crew. Not only were they very aware of their equipment but they took time to use blowers to clear off dirt and debris and fluff the grass. Really impressed us. We'll certainly be using them again in the future.
Nickens Landscaping & Excavating is the go to in Landscaping & Excavating. From the beginning, Alex was very professional and listened to everything we needed done. He communicated very well throughout and his crew showed up on time and worked vigorously to get the job done. They had to dig a deep trench to run a drain pipe and then ran two additional drain pipes. One being a French drain and the other a downspout drain. They filled in the trench, leveled all the dirt, and then cleaned up afterwards. They are very knowledgeable and professional in their trade and I would recommend them every time! Thank you Alex and crew on a job well done!

Alex and his crew were A+ to work with. The professionalism and quality of work were impeccable. I would recommend him to anyone looking to have landscaping work done. They transformed our backyard and pool area. Awesome…
Nickens has earned a top 5 out of 5 rating. They completely reworked 2 60 ft berms in a day & a half & it looks GREAT. They remembered EVERYTHING, did a great job, cleaned everything & disposed of everything that was removed at the best price we received. We highly recommend Nickens & will definitely call them again for our next project!
Alex and his crew came in and did a great job on our demo work before our constructuon project. I'm really excited about the next step of planning the finished landscaping project with Alex and his team!
Nickens Landscaping was amazing! They built our retaining wall and exceeded our expectations. They were timely, paid attention to detail, and their prices were definitely fair! We highly recommend!
