We met with Neil in 2020 with a rough idea in what we wanted for our yard. His hand-drawn plans completely surprised us and we knew wed let him take the reigns and execute his vision without too many questions. Over the next year, Neil and his boys completely transformed our overgrown, poorly-drained backyard into a design we couldnt have executed both alone, or with another company. His attention to detail, perfectionism, and visions are what made us so grateful we decided to use Sitescapes. Theres a true difference when you work with a landscaper and general contractor, versus a formally

We had several landscape designers look at our property and submit designs for our backyard. Neil was far and away the most impressive in terms of having a unique vision while incorporating everything we wanted. What was even more impressive, was how quickly he and his team were able to execute the vision even with weather delays. Neil is always responsive and accountable. I highly recommend Sitescapes. It was a pleasure working with them, and I hope to work with them more in the future.

We went out last night with some friends and invited them back to the house. First time we had people over since the completion of our project. Well, everyone was blown away! Neil, apparently it's not just you and I who think it looks "sick" - I heard the word resort used a lot last night. Most importantly everyone enjoyed being in the spaces you created. Anyway, it's nice to hear others are enjoying the space as much as we are. Thanks again to you and the Sitescapes crew for a great job!

Our experience with Sitescapes was outstanding. From design through completion of the project and every step in between, I was confident that Neil was doing both what was best for our house, and our budget. I would recommend Sitescapes to anyone looking for landscape and driveway work without question.

I was really at a loss as far as what to do with our property. After putting a pool in last summer, the yard was all dug up and just looked terrible. I knew we had to do something but I wasn't sure what. After reading other reviews, I gave Neil a call. He responded immediately and was at our house an hour later to walk around with us. He told us what we needed to hear about issues with the layout and placement of certain things in our yard, like some oddly placed trees, the swing set, some rocks. He offered a few different suggestions in different price ranges, giving us enough options to find
