What customers said about hardscaping
C & L LandscapeThe complete crew is great: pavers, irrigation, landscaping. I am definitely using them again on my next phase! Thank you to all!
Earth Works Jax Lawn Care and Lan…We can’t say enough good things about our experience with Earthworks’ landscape design and installation team! Leslie did a fantastic job designing exactly what we needed & saw the job through from start to finish. We appreciated all of her insights & knowledge. Adam (our installation crew lead) & his colleague, Jay,…
Wacca Pilatka LLCWe wanted to expand our patio space while adding more native plant beds. We have a small urban neighborhood yard. Nick, Tommy, and crew have created a beautiful mini-sanctuary for birds, butterflies, and bees. Each person we dealt with at Wacca Pilatka was responsive and professional. They are bsolutely committed to a high quality result.
C & L LandscapeC&L Landscaping did a fantastic job installing pavers in my back patio! I highly recommend them for all landscaping and hardscaping projects.
C & L LandscapeCouldn’t be more satisfied! Went above and beyond contract at no additional charge! Highly recommend!!!
C & L LandscapeMy wife and I could not be more happy with the services from C and L Landscaping. We had pavers put in and our front flower beds re-worked. From the personal responses, to the meticulously laid out plan for our HOA, to the impressive follow through but Leslie, George, and the office staff … we would highly recommend C and L for your landscape services.
