Home Services reviews in Stillwater, Minnesota

Crawford did a great job grading and hydro seeding my yard. I had 2 very large trees removed and needed a whole new lawn. The yard never grew grass before, he added topsoil, graded out where the trees were. The lawn looks great today! My kids get to play in a great yard now. Crawford was very professional, communication was great. Would highly recommend.

Crawford has competitive pricing, is set up well to complete any size of project and stands behind his work. He is very professional, and we enjoyed working with him.

Crawford and his crew were efficient and did a great job. Crawford was very responsive to a request for follow up that came up a week or so after the project was complete. The experience exceeded our expectations!

I had a great experience with the landscaping project I had done through McDowell Landscapes. A new house with basically a blank canvas. It turned out beautifully with privacy trees, rock and bushes. Crawford was hard working, efficient and friendly. Would hire him again for future projects!

We hired McDowell Landscapes for complex garage drain project that required ingenuity and a thoughtful approach. The project required pulling up existing pavers to redirect a garage drain that had broken below ground due to retaining wall settling. Crawford and his team did the project on time, on budget, and with total professionalism. I plan to use McDowell Landscapes for future projects and am happy to serve as a referral for prospective clients in the area who may be considering doing the same.

McDowell Landscapes just completed a regrading project that included reconfiguring some retaining walls, removing unnecessary hardscape, and ultimately greatly improving part of our yard. We found them to be great at listening to our needs, offering professional advice, and providing quality workmanship that was efficient and fairly priced. We will definitely work with McDowell Landscapes in the future!

Crawford landscaped our entire back yard and added a patio and fire pit. We love it. He's easy to work with and we're very happy with his work. We'd definitely recommend him to a friend.

I used McDowell Landscapes recently to take care of some things in our yard that we were unable to. They did such a great job! In addition, the communication was spot on. I didn't have to chase them for answers or follow up. They came when they said they'd come. Honestly, it's the little things that make the biggest difference! We will be using them for phases 2 and 3.

We hired Crawford to do grading and hydro-seeding of our yard. We researched "Top rated Landscapers in our area" and read reviews from previous customers. We were not disappointed. He was a "10" out of "10" with quality of work, timeliness and communication. We highly recommend Crawford.

One of my older family members moved to the area and was overwhelmed with the amount of work is needed to keep a property looking good. I did some homework and found McDowell - Couldnt have been happier, the team communicated with us and set clear expectations. One less thing to worry about! Thank you !

We had a fantastic experience working with Crawford and his team. Our boulder wall and driveway addition project was in a tight location, but Crawford listened to our vision and made it a reality. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. Highly recommend his services!

Crawford did a fantastic job on regrading and adding new Class 5 to our parking pad for our boat and camper. Crawford was helpful, informative, and efficient. We are very happy with the work completed and the pricing of the project. We highly recommend McDowell Landscapes.

We had a great experience working with Crawford McDowell. Crawford and his team are very hard working. I would highly recommend using McDowell Landscapes.

It was a pleasure working with McDowell Landscapes. It is a small company so you are dealing with the owner, not just some sales guy. Crawford responds to communications, did what he said he was going to do, when he said he was going to do it, for the price he estimated, and did a good job of it. I absolutely recommend McDowell Landscapes to family and friends.

My project is fairly large, a terraced boulder wall for Rutherford Cemetery. You can see it at 7601 Manning Ave. in Stillwater.

We have had an amazing experience with the owner, Crawford and this company. They did extensive excavation work for our detached garage build and have done an amazing job so far. We felt the pricing seemed competitive and the communication and professionalism is top notch. We highly recommend!

Crawford and team did an amazing job providing us rock landscaping around the perimeter of our home. From the start Crawford was courteous , professional. From coming onsite and providing us a quote to cleaning up after the job was done, they were consistently professional in their work.

The entire experience working with McDowell Landscaping was a very pleasurable and easy experience.

Many thanks to Crawford and team . You do landscaping right.

Crawford McDowell did excellent work on many projects in our yard last fall. He listened attentively to our thoughts, added his personal suggestions and then followed through in a precise manner when decisions were made. He was careful of both our house and older landscaping as he and his helper worked daily to complete our several projects. They removed and repositioned sagging paver steps in a retaining wall, releveled many pavers in our large 25-year-old patio, installed a new small patio on the side of our garage, sandblasted the old patio and adjoining wall to remove moss, and finally spread polymeric sand on the patio. Both Crawford and his helper worked hard daily, were polite and careful, stopped and allowed time to discuss when questions arose, and left each day having collected and organized their tools and materials. We were very happy with the results of their work and look forward to Crawford's return this summer to work on a small retaining wall, to convert an unfinished pond area into something attractive and less time-consuming and to get ideas and help in stabilizing a hillside with minimal hardscape.

Crawford did an absolutely outstanding job on our boulder retaining wall. We loved that he kept us well informed when there was a rain delay and when finished up placing the boulders he put everything back together and overseeded the lawn. I highly recommend McDowell Landscapes and will certainly reach out to the again for our next project>

Crawford and his team. Such hard workers! They had to work on an eroded area with underground irrigation and many unknowns in a small tight space. They had to fix a steep embankment and move ALOT of dirt! They also had to kind of think on the fly as things happened we didnt anticipate. They performed on hot summer days and exceeded our expectations on the project. Crawford was so kind to keep us posted all along the way and they worked long hard hours to get this done to mitigate any water intrusion issues.
We thought it was important to have not only a local company but a local crew.
Honestly. No one better out there. If your looking for excavation needs big or small. Call Crawford!
