Landscaping reviews in Hamilton, Ohio

In 2019, my wife and I contracted with Garden Path (GP) for three major projects – building a new Cabana in our backyard; building a new façade on the front of our house and completely updating the exterior of the house; and, completely re-landscaping both the front and back. Due to the extent of these projects, Garden Path worked at our house for approximately one year. We always found the GP folks to be very professional, friendly, and easy to work with; and, to generally hit the milestones and dates of all the projects (weather tends to be a factor in such outdoor work). They essentially helped us remake our house, and we are very pleased with the results. The neighbors cannot believe how we have completely transformed the house. We always felt that the GP folks listened to our ideas and we felt like we were getting good value for the dollars we invested in these projects.

Prior to these projects, we used GP for all of our outside landscaping services at our previous house, and that working relationship lasted for approximately fifteen years. We have enjoyed working with Chris and his team (really great people).

We had a seemingly impossible task...how to secure a hillside, make it look attractive and low maintenance. Not only did Garden Path have great ideas for handling this situation, they got the work completed efficiently. AND it looks great. This was one of the keys to transforming our backyard into a resort destination. We remodeled our pool and Garden Path Landscaping completed the cedar fence, secured the back hill with rip wrap, brought in dirt, leveled the backyard, new sod and installed a campfire style fire pit. Outstanding service and communication. We use them for ALL our landscaping projects. They winterized our gardens, installed new landscaping in a feature bed in the front of our house. We look forward to them waking our gardens up this spring.

We had a vision of a back yard pool and landscaped area, but were not sure how to bring it to life. Garden Path worked with us to create drawings and over the course of the project, they created something that will bring years of enjoyment to our family. Chris Raines and team left nothing to chance as they demonstrated great workmanship on a very large retaining wall, complete redesign of the landscaping plan and a fantastic inground pool. Despite all of the supply chain challenges over the past year, the team did absolutely everything in their control to bring the project to completion as quickly as possible and on budget. We would recommend them highly for their workmanship but also for being a business of integrity with polite, professional employees who understand the value of creating trustworthiness when it comes to working in and around someone's home.

When we moved back from California to Ohio, having an outdoor living oasis was an absolute must. We found a great house but the outdoor living space didn't exist. It was a start from scratch project!

After interviewing several companies I was introduced to Chris Raines, owner of Garden Path Landscaping. Chris could not have been more professional or genuine. He took the time to get to know us, our family, our lifestyle and our vision. Unlike most, he and his team do not work from cookie cutter templates. Everything was fully customized to our tastes. From the design work to working with us on budgeting and throughout the construction process I couldn't imagine it having gone any better. What I really appreciated was Chris's ability manage so many moving parts and people all while being our single point of communication for the entire project - landscaping, in-ground pool, pool decking, audio, lighting and electric.

The people Chris works with are also very professional and do amazing work. The entire project exceeded our expectations. Chris even found a way to give us a taste of California with our very own live Palm Tree planter box! I would highly recommend Garden Path Landscaping and Chris Raines. I will definitely continue working with this team for phase 2.

10+ out of 10!

We had such a great experience with our pool and landscape project. Krista designed a beautiful space to fit exactly what we needed! Perry was super professional and great at his job. Reese was so responsive to all of our questions. Love our new space and will come back for future outdoor projects!

We’ve had a terrific experience with a recently completed project done by Garden Path Landscaping. Everyone we worked with was accommodating, timely with answering questions and emails, pleasant to work with, and the project was finished as expected. The final outcome was beautiful. We definitely recommend Garden Path and would use them again without hesitation.

Amazing! The work done to my backyard is more than I dreamed it could be. We had pool installation that included plumbing and electrical, concrete, fence and landscaping (sod, seed and trees). Chris did my initial design and stayed in contact with me through the whole project. Reece with Westside Pools was great and very nice. Every person that worked in our yard was respectful, nice and a joy to talk to. I just can't say enough. We have had many neighbors compliment our yard and hopefully will bring more business to them.

We asked Chris to build a sculptured garden wall and stairways about a decade ago and liked the quality of the work and design so much that when we decided to add pavers and a Pergola to our back yard we asked Chris to help design and build that as well. We were very pleased with the experience with all the Garden Path employees, the support (and space) we received in the planning process, and the professionalism of the installation. The finished product is a major conversation point and asset to our property. Many Thanks.

We reached out to Garden Path to add a 4 season room to our home. They were more than professional to work with! Their attentiveness and detailed work really showed during this project! Chris, Rob, Dave and their team were fabulous to work with! Highly recommended this company for any small or big project you might have! We will continue to use Garden Path for our future projects to our home!

For the past 5 years, we had a vision for a backyard pool and entertainment space. Garden Path helped that become a reality! From the initial design phase all they way throughout the project, it was a pleasure working with the company. Chris and Krista were responsive and helped us with all of our questions and design revisions. It was also great having the company take care of everything completely, even all of the permits with the pool. Really made for a great and worry free experience.

I have enjoyed working with Garden Path on our outdoor oasis. Krista and Chris are so professional and really made our vision come to life. They are courteous, creative, kind and very responsive and they get the job done on time and do it right. I have since worked with them on several more projects in the yard and continue to look forward to many more projects working with them.

Bill and I are so pleased with the recent work Gardenpath did on our back patio. They finished 3 retainer walls and relaid our patio. A superb job in 4 days! The guys were professional, friendly and cleaned everything up when they were finished. We would not hesitate recommending them. Our patio is awesome!

We just finished our first summer with our backyard transformation completed by Garden Path. Each and every time we have had visitors come over we have received numerous compliments on our backyard "oasis." We had a bare backyard and now have a retaining wall, a swimming pool, a covered patio and lots of lounging and entertaining space, surrounded by beautiful landscaping. From start to finish Chris and his crew were amazing. Each crew that came in to do their part was professional, knowledgeable, and always willing to stop and share what was happening and still to be done. I was completely impressed at how each crew cleaned up all messes each day, dressed professionally and always acted in a respectful manner. Whenever we had questions we would always get a timely reply.
I would highly recommend Garden Path for any project. We will be using their services again.

Garden Path brought our backyard oasis vision to life. Chris led our pool scape project seamlessly from start to finish. He, his crew and their contractors were always incredibly professional, respectful and courteous. The project ran like well oiled machine. Their attention to detail is impeccable and it shows. We have received several compliments on how beautiful everything turned out from the pool to the landscaping. We value not only the quality of work from this company but also the relationship as well. We look forward to utilizing their lawn care program this upcoming season.

We love our new patio. It’s in a tricky spot on a steep hillside and they made it work. Krista’s design far exceeded what I thought we would be able to do with the space. Very professional and talented group to work with!

The whole experience with Garden Path Landscaping was very positive from start to finish. This company prides itself on quality, craftsmanship and attention to detail. The result exceeded all expectations. The communication, the flexibility and the professionalism of the crews that worked on our deck replacement project were all experienced professionals at their craft. If you are looking for any outdoor living space project, I highly recommend adding Garden Path Landscaping to your list.

The team at Garden Path Landscaping was a joy to work with. Professional, on budget and knowledgeable. We are so happy with our pool, waterfall feature and landscaping. We’ve already talked to them about future projects. 5/5 recommend using them!

We hired Garden Path for landscaping our new home/property which was a big task. They reviewed our initial plan, spent time asking questions about our vision, likes and budget. The install team was prompt, professional and kept the area tidy each day. They helped communicate and coordinate with the irrigation company. The end result exceeded my expectations.

Garden Path Landscaping created a design plan and implemented a complete renovation of our backyard space. They installed a new deck with beautiful curved steps down to a flagstone patio leading to a large gas fire pit area with chevron pattern pavers and stone seating walls. Through every stage (quote, design, construction), Garden Path was professional, courteous, responsive, and talented. Their ability to handle the entire project in-house meant they were on-time and on-budget. They were hands down the best contractor I have worked with. They are not the cheap solution ... you get what you pay for and what we got will keep our family happy for many years to come!

Garden Path did several great projects at our previous house, so they were the first call when we built a new home. They added over 500 square feet of outdoor living space including a fireplace and bar. The covered area fits perfectly with the existing structure. Chris, Rob, and the team are great to work with and always do quality work that they stand by. Highly recommended!

Chris and the Garden Path Team are amazing! They did a magnificent job on a very large project for us. It included walls, paver patios, large decks, a two-story outdoor fireplace, and a water feature. The work was completed on schedule and far exceeded our wildest expectations. Every member of the Garden Path Team is professional, courteous, and customer focused.

They did such a great job that we had them do other projects including constructing a 30x40 ft building, exterior repairs to our home, and landscaping upgrades. Every job has exceeded our expectations.

We also switched to Garden Path for the ongoing maintenance of our landscaping. Our yard has never looked better!

The Garden Path Team is the best!
