I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted for my front yard. Gary's designer really brought it to life! Milligan Scapes has the hardest working guys I have ever seen. My front yard was completed in just two days and is beautiful. They left everything clean and tidy.

I recently moved in to a new home. I wanted to turn the back yard into something special. A friend had recommended this company, and I'm so glad that he did. They did a wonderful job making my backyard look awesome. They were very responsive with any questions or concerns that I had. They do an amazing, professional job. Everyone I came into contact with was courteous and professional and took great care of me. I highly recommend Milligan Scapes!

Gary and his highly professional and productive crew performed a stellar landscaping transformation on our entire property. From our initial meeting, Gary showed a high level of professionalism and patience in our design journey. He provided detailed architectural renderings and drawings that captured our design ideas. Gary was able to pull in the start date and stayed on track throughout the scope of work. The end result was a world class quality landscape job that included an entire redesigned driveway, front and back yard transformation! His crew was very polite, friendly and clean. They never

Gary, from the initial visit to completion was professional, respectful and stood by his word. His crew are some of the hardest working men I've ever seen. When I didn't care for a particular cobblestone, they quickly remedied the situation to my liking. My backyard is just lovely and I know my family and I will enjoy it for years to come. I look forward to hiring them again next year for a remake of my front yard. Thank you Milligan Scapes! Well done!

Milligan Scapes is the best, do yourself a favor and hire them! They took my goat head, dirt filled yard and turned it into a park. The workers know what they are doing. They are prompt, friendly and kind. They cleaned up my yard when they were done and even offered to haul things away for free. I never had to remind them of anything, they were on the ball. Mr. Milligan is extremely knowledgeable, kind and competent. He worked with me to fit my budget and there was NO pressure to do more.

Milligan Scapes was fantastic to work with! I had them build a wall for me around around my property. I was informed in advanced of the expected lead time and and they showed up exactly on the day they stated. They continued to work my project until its completion. Questions came up along the way, which were easily resolved to both of our benefit. I have recommended them to everyone I talk to and plan on using them again on future projects.
