“Lisa and her team were an absolute delight to work with! Lisa carefully mapped out our property and presented us with a beautiful proposal that turned a daunting project into a joyful experience. From start to finish, Lisa was collaborative and met every request and challenge with expertise and a thoughtful, creative solution.”
Libby
“I appreciated that Lisa was open minded and really listened to what we were looking to achieve. I was also very impressed with the exceptional craftsmanship Matt used to lay our new front walkway. He took obvious pride in his work and it shows.”
Bruce
“I’ve been working with McDonald Landscapes since 2016, when they helped restore my backyard after major utility work left it bare. Their design brought it back to life with Junipers, Persimmons, Camellias, Hollies, and Azaleas. Since then, their team, especially Luke Wheeler, has maintained it beautifully each spring and fall. They even replaced our old paver patio, removing an old septic tank in the process. My yard gets better every year, and I’m so grateful to Luke and the McDonald team for making it such a joy.”
Susan
“Working with McDonald Garden Center over the past year has been an absolute pleasure. I’ve never had a truly beautiful yard, but you brought my vision to life. From the start, you understood exactly what I wanted, and your design was perfect. The team was hardworking, careful, and the follow-up care has been excellent. I’d recommend McDonald to anyone looking to create a unique, joyful landscape.”
Ann
“We’ve partnered with McDonald Garden Center on many landscape projects over the years, and the results have always been outstanding. Their creative designs and expert execution consistently deliver beautiful, high-quality outcomes. These projects have not only added long-term value to our home but also brought daily enjoyment to our lives. We look forward to continuing our work with McDonald.”
Charles
“We’re so grateful for the beautiful walkway recently installed by McDonald Landscapes. After seeing your work on a neighbor’s project, we were inspired to get an estimate and we’re glad we did. From design to completion, the process was smooth and professional. The crew’s attention to detail and strong work ethic truly impressed us. The walkway blends perfectly with our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. We highly recommend McDonald to anyone looking to enhance their curb appeal.”
