We will meet with you at your home to introduce ourselves and help understand your design ideas, dreams, and objectives. After we have a personal comprehension of the scope of your project, we will discuss timelines and the cost of the design. Upon agreement, we take measurements of your land and architecture, to develop a base plan of existing conditions. One half of the design fee is paid. Deposit on Design is Non-Refundable.
Through the use of site analysis, perspectives, sections, and concept sketches we will thoughtfully develop a design for your project.
We will meet with you at your home to present and walk through every aspect of the plan with you. Our beautiful designs are hand-drafted, fully rendered drawings. We also include a fully detailed proposal for the implementation of our design, and photograph’s of the plantings/materials we intend to use. Design fees include one round of revisions for design plans.
When Earth Landscape installs your landscape we waive the second half of your design fee. Together, we will schedule your project so there is an understanding of timeline and progression.
We take great pride in our work, and with strict attention to detail, your design is realized. If you require a change during the construction process, a cost or credit is agreed upon and confirmed, in writing, prior to the change take place.
“After years of neglect from the previous owners, the landscaping in our front yard was overgrown, and the steps and walkway were in disrepair. Mark designed a beautiful layout with thoughtful design from end to end. The granite stairs and walkway provide a beautiful transition from the driveway to the front door. The birch trees that anchor the landscaping on either side of the house not only make an aesthetic statement, but are a nod to Birch Mountain in our back yard. Mark even designed the layout of the plants to create a view that would give the feeling of continuity as you look out the large bay window from the dining room. He filled the garden beds with perennial flowers that provided endless bouquets throughout the summer season. Mark and the team at Earth Landscape transformed our yard from an embarrassment into a stunning landscape.”
TOM & STACY of Manchester
“We have worked with Earth Landscape over the last 4 years on several staged projects that have transformed our yard into a truly magnificent place to live, incorporating a brook in our back yard. Mark’s eye to detail and design clearly shows in his work as well as his ability to incorporate various design elements into a functional yet beautiful environment that melds with the surrounding neighborhood as well as the open spaces that surround our property. It is rare to find a company that provides high level skilled design and has the skill and resources to make the vision come to reality, but our yard is a living testimony. It has been a pleasure working with Mark over the years and I would highly recommend him and Earth Landscape for projects of any size or complexity.”

We have working with Earth Landscape since 2004 when we hired Mark and his team to totally redesign our overgrown Avon home, including plantings, walkways, lighting and drainage. We have always been impressed with Mark's extensive knowledge, demeanor and ability to create an innovative design plan that addresses all of our needs and truly compliments the property. Since 2004, we have used Mark for all of our landscaping needs and, in 2014, we once again tapped Earth Landscapes to do all of the landscape design and build for a new house we were building on a lake in Massachusetts. Mark did a phenomenal job designing and executing on a very extensive and complex job requiring over 725 plantings. Mark's insightful design ideas and patient, consultative and collaborative style once again made him a true pleasure to work with. On this project, Mark's extensive knowledge of native plant types and soil qualities was instrumental to the overwhelming success of the engagement. We continue to receive compliments on the landscaping and sodding and how attractive it has made the property. We would highly recommend Earth Landscape to anyone considering a landscaping project, big or small, and would be glad to serve as a reference and discuss our experiences in greater detail.

Wow! Mark, we’re so happy with how it came out! The guys did a fantastic job.
JOHN & THOMAS of West Hartford
"We wanted to thank you for the excellent work you and your team did landscaping our front yard. You came highly recommended and did nothing to diminish your reputation. The designs that you provided nicely incorporated some of the ideas, which we had with your knowledge and creativity. We appreciated being intimately involved in this process ... The recommendations, which you provided for lighting and irrigation, were also great. The crew was professional, neat and timely ... Once work was done every neighbor felt obliged to stop by to tell us how great the yard looked. We felt good passing on your name to them and hopefully we'll see the "Earth Landscape" sign up on other yards in the neighborhood this spring. We look forward to working with you again!"

GENE of Glastonbury
After a major remodeling project left our landscaping in need of an overhaul, Mark and his team at Earth Landscape was able to create a look for us that continues to draw compliments from passers-by in our neighborhood. Mark started the process by listening to our needs and creating a design that was easy to understand and fall in love with. The work was done quickly and the result was dramatic and a true reflection of his vision. In addition to adding to our curb appeal, Mark continues to be a dependable resource when we have questions about our plantings or need other areas addressed. We are glad we worked with Earth and would recommend their work to anyone.

“I just wanted to thank you guys for the excellent job you did on the drainage system in my backyard. My experience in the past with contractors has not been very good, and I was very pleased to find somebody who did what they said they would do and did it in a timely fashion.”
JUSTIN of West Hartford
“We have worked with Earth Landscape on several projects over the past three years and have been extremely pleased with the quality of their work and with the dependability and professionalism of their team. We completed a project with Earth Landscape last year that transformed our backyard from a virtual swamp into a neighborhood showcase, and look forward to working with them again on future landscaping projects.”

We were very impressed with the attention to detail that went into the project. Your crew was friendly and professional and clearly very skilled. You worked quickly and came in on budget.

“We have been EARTH Landscape customers for several years and couldn't be happier with their service. EARTH provides us yearly maintenance of our mature plant beds, which includes high quality mulch. Mark also designed our amazing pool landscape highlighted by beautiful natural stone steps, which always receive tremendous compliments.”
