“I cannot speak highly enough about Thorpe Landscapes and the work they did at my house. We had a travertine driveway and pool deck installed, as well as an outdoor kitchen and putting greens. From top to bottom they are a company dedicated to making sure their customers get exactly what they want.
The management team was a constant presence on site. They communicated well, and were great about making recommendations. Dan Thorpe and Dan Massie were incredibly patient with me about any changes I wanted to make to the design and thoroughly answered all of my questions.
The install crews could not have been more friendly or polite. Their performance was consistent, they were always on time, and made sure to clean up the property at the end of each work day.
Thorpe Landscapes is always my first call for any outdoor projects. They continue to be my regular lawn care maintenance provider.
I definitely recommend them for your landscape/hardscape needs.”
