Landscaping reviews across the US

Murphy's did an amazing job. They were able to get me a quote in less than 24 hours and a crew on site shortly after. Hats off to the crew who called me while they were at my house to see if there was anything else I needed done. You guys are awesome and you'll be my go to from now on. Thank you!

I have used Murphy's for mowing services for the last two years for my 1.5 acre lawn in Orono. They always do a great job and their crew is very reliable, polite and professional. I would recommend their service to anyone that asks.

When Ron and Vicky owned it this was a good honest business that cared. Well it’s got new owners now and it ain’t what it used to be. We noticed a change not long after the new owners took over. They hired a bunch of young kids who zoom around the yard wicked fast spinning when we used to have someone experienced doing the mowing carefully so it looked nice. They left trash in front of my house and didn’t come back to get it even after I called them and they said they would. Seems like now they just try to get things done as fast as possible without caring about quality. Maybe that would be something if the price was lower but nope it actually went up! We’ll be looking for a new outfit to mow for us next year.

Murphy's Lawn Care completed three jobs for us.. landscaping, a brick walkway and lawn repair/hydro-seeding. The entire team was (at all times) professional, punctual and responsive to any changes my wife or I made. The quality of the work is first rate as is their expertise in their chosen professional. We highly recommend.

One of there kids got stuck and spun up the grass. EDIT Nope I’m not in Canada! This is right here in the Bangor area and you are Murphy’s from Orono. You should keep better records and recognize your own mowers. EDIT The Murphy’s Lawn Care trailer was right there and there was a man on a riding unit with him. Dishonestly is not the best policy!

We hired Murphy's to help improve water drainage in our yard (grading, adding loam, hydroseeding) and install a paver patio and we are very happy with the work they did. Dave and Alex were easy to work with, they took the time to make sure everything got done properly and kept us informed about how the projects were progressing and if there were any setbacks.

The paver patio ended up costing us more than we were quoted, but the additional charges were clearly explained on the invoice and the result of additional work - which they did tell us about - needed because of our extremely wet clay soils. This extra work improved the quality and hopefully lifespan of the patio.

We've had a few heavy rains since the yard work was completed and there are no more pools of standing water. The grass is just starting to fill back in nicely.

We are looking forward to relaxing this summer out in the patio surrounded by our well draining yard.

Would recommend them!

We have been very impressed with all the jobs Shannon has completed for us. He preplans, explains the plan, is efficient, accurate and cost effective. We would recommend him 100%.

Shannon is incredibly attentive to detail and an excellent and proactive communicator. He did an excellent job improving the drainage around our house, improving or gravel driveway surface and did landscaping work that made our backyard such a nice spot.

We won’t call anyone else first! Shannon graveled our lengthy driveway and removed two very large pine trees close to our house. Excellent communication throughout from estimate to clean up. Professional work and reasonable pricing. Don’t hesitate to hire S.P. Landscaping!

I couldn't be more impressed with the extensive work that Shannon has undertaken on my wooded property. I needed to have eight extremely tall poplar trees cut down in my backyard, all of which were at an end stage of growth. I feared that any day they would collapse onto my house in a significant wind and/or rain storm. The trees were within my fenced in backyard, which presented a challenge accessing the area with his tractor and other equipment. Shannon and his crew arrived in February ’25 in frigid temperatures and proceeded to strategize entry and felling of these massive trees. In short order the trees were knocked down and removed, a remarkable process I watched from the warmth of my home. I highly recommend Shannon’s services and in fact plan on having him back for several more projects. He is quick to respond to queries and is reasonably priced.

We are happy to recommend Shannon and SP Landscaping. Our driveway was never properly completed and while searching for someone to top it we found a glowing review of Shannon. Our experience was just as good as that reviewer. He kindly educated us on our options, patiently addressed any and all silly questions we had, charged us reasonably, scheduled and arrived on time and did the work with thought and skill.

S.P Landscaping is excellent and extremely responsive. I had a great experience working with Shannon, he was very tentative to my requests and offered great feedback on what was going to work and what wasn’t and is very honest in his work. I highly recommend Shannon and S.P Landscaping to anyone!

I fully recommend Shannon and S.P Landscaping. Our business -- Coach Stop Inn -- needed gravel driveway, parking lot and walkway refurbishment. Our "curb appeal" to the public is crucial. Shannon was professional, communicative (highly appreciated), and provided excellent work from his initial site visit through final completion. We are very pleased and have no hesitation to recommend and do business again with S.P Landscaping. (In these photos, Shannon did the driveway, walkway and ground-under-flower-boxes, gravel work.)

I recently hired S.P. Landscaping to resolve a persistent drainage issue in my gravel driveway. Every spring, I’d end up with large puddles of standing water that made access a mess. Shannon from S.P. Landscaping came out promptly, thoroughly assessed the problem area, and offered multiple long-term solutions. I appreciated his clear communication and honest recommendations.

We decided on installing a rock-lined drainage trench to redirect the water flow. Shannon showed up exactly on time and got right to work. He was professional, efficient, and respectful of the property. The results speak for themselves—what was once a problem area is now properly draining and blends nicely with the surrounding landscape.

If you’re looking for a reliable, knowledgeable Landscaper to take on your drainage or landscaping project, I highly recommend S.P. Landscaping. They delivered exactly what they promised, on time and with great attention to detail.

Never returned calls as stated.

This guy was very professional and very courteous when I talk to him about even though I didn't get it

Absolutely fantastic, and Gary is lovely to deal with. He and his crew were always in contact, and if there was weather or something delaying work, I always had a call. The work done was quality, they worked hard, got the job done much faster than I expected, and everything looks absolutely amazing. I can't recommend Gary Ladner Landscaping Design highly enough!!

We use them for their 24/7 salt and sand dispenser. If you haven't used it - it's a drive-thru dispenser for winter sand, salt, or treated salt. Park with your hopper under the auger drop chute and go inside to pay with a cc. Choose product and weight to dispense and pay for it - all hours automated. Ive watched them during storms requiring refilling their hoppers and they are working to keep things filled. Recent storm had them getting deliveries of sand, salt and treating salt on site just to keep ahead of demand. I would not recommend messing with it for anything smaller than a bed mounted spreader. I'm sure you could fill a tailgate spreader but it wouldn't be effortless. Staff has been helpful every time we've needed anything as well!

I couldn’t be more impressed with Green Squirrel Landscaping. Green Squirrel helped me in choosing plants for a my front yard landscaping. Then they planted 54 plants! Now I need to mulch and watch the new grass come in. From start to finish, their level of communication was outstanding—they kept me informed throughout the entire process and were always responsive to questions. The quality of their work exceeded my expectations, and it was clear that they take great pride in what they do. What really stood out was their expertise in all aspects of lawn care. They provided knowledgeable recommendations, paid attention to every detail, and delivered results that transformed my property. If you’re looking for a landscaping company that combines professionalism, exceptional workmanship, and true lawn care expertise, I highly recommend Green Squirrel Landscaping.

Did a great job with my fall clean up. Would definitely use again!

Owner is great. Helped me fast and worked with other facilities to give me the best quality.
