McKenzie's did a great job on our retaining wall. My wife and I are very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a professional landscaping company. The price was reasonable and the wall looks great!

I was looking for natural stone and river rock for a paving project. The selection was disappointing. Perhaps it was due to the pandemic? I have used this business for stone for a small wall in the past and the selection then was better.

McKenzie has purchased mulch from our company and refused to pay for the product they have received. If you purchase mulch from McKenzie, you are purchasing STOLEN MULCH!

Purchased a piece at the Garden Center - Great experience then and piece is awesome. Having it delivered was an entire different story. Was suppose to pick-it up at center but with travel and a recent injury (herniated disc) I went to center and asked to have it delivered and planted, they said no problem and took payment $100, $50 for delivery and $50 for planting which is reasonable. Called back to say they could not plant, so I got the hole dug the hole and ready to receive decorative tree. They said they would drop it in the hole, suppose to deliver on Friday, that did not work, Saturday did
