Paul did a great job with our backyard. He installed a fence and concrete patio. From the initial contact, he was straightforward about the costs and time estimates, and did the work on time with attention to detail and excellent quality. Highly recommend.

We hired Harkness Gardens to replace some rotten wood in our backyard. While their quote wasn't the lowest, we appreciated Paul's transparency around labor and materials, and ultimately felt good moving forward. The good: the crew worked quickly, were friendly and flexible (even as the job doubled in size once more boards were identified as rotten), and they did a good job with the installation overall. They even fixed some outdoor lights in the process--great job where it matters most. Unfortunately, a few issues cropped up after they left: nails, wood chips, and trash were scattered around the property and they left behind excess oversized wooden planks and rebar too big for our trash bins. None of this was major--but it did require extra time and effort on our end to clean up. The bigger issue was how Paul handled it. Rather than simply acknowledging the concerns or offering a small fix--like a quick cleanup, an apology, or a nominal discount--he let us know that they optimized the price of install and did not consider clean up a normal part of the job unless specifically requested. This was not made clear to us up front and we assumed that part of any landscape job would include cleaning up any debris left after, and certainly cleaning up materials that they brought in. If you hire Harkness Gardens, make sure to be extremely explicit up front about cleanup, debris removal, and basic care for plants or surrounding structures--because otherwise, it may not be included. Otherwise, the quality of their work and install was great.

Paul and his company did a great job on our concrete patio. It looks great and I would definitely recommend them.
