EXCELLENT Based on 255 reviews Matt RSeptember 9, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. CLC did a phenomenal job redoing our landscaping and walkway in front of our house. The results are beyond what we expected and we’ve been getting so many compliments from friends and neighbors. I can’t say enough good things about the whole team and process from start to finish. Our architect, Kevin, designed a master plan for our whole property that matches all our goals. The result is polished and unique and brings out all the charm in our 100 year home. Robert, our project manager, was great and easy to work with. He kept everything moving and beat our deadline with room the spare. Lastly and most importantly, we were blown away by the work of Leo and his construction crew. From masonry and paving to laying the beds and plantings their work is top notch. They take so much care and in their work, paying attention to all the details. They are master craftsmen and artisans and they’ve transformed our home. We’re so grateful for their hard work and love the outcome. Thank you! Heather HSeptember 7, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I first met Eric and Daniel and showed them my small, steep, overgrown backyard, Eric immediately said with enthusiasm, “This is the kind of project we’re looking for!” From there, the process couldn’t have gone smoother. Eric designed an amazing, contemporary space tailored to our family’s needs, while Daniel worked his magic to reclaim more usable square footage—building up one corner of the yard to make it more uniform and functional. The end result is beyond what I imagined. A stunning patio of Grande Pavers anchors the yard, and a cozy fire pit now fills what was once an overgrown nook. The transformation turned a space we never used into a place where our family genuinely wants to spend time—relaxing, gathering, and entertaining. On top of their creativity and professionalism, the entire project came together at a price I found to be incredibly reasonable. I couldn’t be happier with the value, the process, and most of all, the result. I’m already in conversations with Eric about transforming my front yard next year. Thank you, Eric, Daniel, and the entire CLC crew, for turning my yard into a place we truly love! Nick FSeptember 4, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm still getting compliments on the work done to my property. I needed an old retaining wall replaced on the side of my house. I got a few estimates, but Robert from CLC was the only one who was able to create a design concept within my budget. A few weeks later, Delfino and his partner came out and did an excellent job excavating the area, grading the land, and adding new boulders to replace the rotted wood wall. It only took a few days, but my neighbor noticed enough to text me, telling me what a great job they were doing. Delfino worked with me throughout, answering any of my questions and getting my opinion on design choices. The grass is still growing in, but it already looks great. I'd be happy to hire CLC again in the future. Nicole GAugust 24, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Eric was enthusiastic and creative about our driveway entrance. He chose plants to fit the space for shade and deer resistant, and the result was a gorgeous entryway to our home. I’ll definitely use him again in the future! Ari NAugust 19, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Gang at CLC landscaping were professional and did the job quick and cleaned up after like they were never there. Definitely would use again. Chris OAugust 15, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After reaching out to multiple landscape companies, Eric from CLC came to our home to give a quote and answer some of our questions. Eric took over 2 hours of his time to share his ideas and explain things to us as if we had already signed the contract! After receiving multiple quotes from different companies, it was without question that we chose CLC. When it came time for our project to be started, Eric had reached out again to inquire about any new ideas or changes we may have had. I told Eric he could run with his ideas and we could not be happier! As they were finishing up, Eric mentioned he wanted to switch out one of the plants and would return with the different one. Eric showed how much he cared even more by driving almost an hour for ONE plant! A++. Would HIGHLY recommend CLC and Eric for any landscape visions you may have. Thank you again CLC! Gina DAugust 15, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They are fantastic from concept to design to installation. Had our front yard redone with stone wall and flowers. Couldn’t be happier with the before and after so consider them for your next home garden project. Ed DAugust 12, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. CCL Landscaping Design is absolutely top-of-the line. First, the quality of the plantings was significantly better than I found after self-searching numerous nurseries. The design and the installation was meticulous. Drainage was a pre-existing issue, they added berms and grading. The existing tree canopy required shade tolerant selections. The team transformed our 10,000 square feet of woodland into a magical garden . Rin KAugust 8, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After seeing the amazing job CLC Landscaping did for my daughter’s yard, I decided to hire them to redo our patio pavers and completely transform our front and backyard landscaping—and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, the team was professional, detail-oriented, and clearly passionate about their craft. Worked a ton with Eric who listened to what we wanted and delivered beyond expectations. The new patio is stunning and the landscaping has completely elevated our outdoor space. I highly recommend CLC to anyone looking for top-notch landscaping services!
