  • At Starkie Brothers Custom Landscaping, Inc., we design vibrant, low-maintenance landscapes tailored to your home, beginning with a free, to-scale design plan that captures your vision, which we retain to safeguard our expertise.

To accentuate your entrance, we use striking specimens, such as Weeping Norway Spruce or sculpted evergreens, creating a captivating focal point. By combining deciduous plants, like maples for vivid fall color, with non-deciduous evergreens, such as hollies, we ensure year-round vibrancy.

We plant in groupings to foster healthy growth and a unified look, easing maintenance. Our foundations for adjacent hardscapes, like pathways and patios, provide enduring stability, seamlessly enhancing your plantings’ beauty and longevity. Through maintenance programs like our Spring & Fall Shrub Program, we keep your landscape stunning and hassle-free year after year.

What Our Clients Say

Testimonials

“I had new stoop, driveway and complete landscaping in the front. A+ fine. I was very happy with Starkie across the board.”

Frank B.

“Starkie Brothers was one of our top choices when it came time to rip up our old concrete patio and replace it with pavers. We knew we would get quality work that would be sustainable for years to come. John met with us on several occasions and was patient with us throughout our decision-making when it came down to the design of our project. John had great ideas...he was detailed in his project plans, discussing everything from rip up; removal, drainage, piping, design and layout. John took the time to come to our house on several occasions until every detail was discussed and finalized. He even met us at the supply place to look at our options re: pavers. Our project was broken down into two parts - 1) a rear patio off our house and 2) a paver patio surrounding a new pool as well as a black top driveway. Part 1 was completed this Fall. John and his crew were at our house every morning as scheduled. They worked diligently to complete the project in 4 days. His crew was very friendly and communicated with us throughout. John kept us updated via text and phone calls, even sending us pictures of the progress throughout the day! He had our kids create a time capsule which he buried for them. The work was neat, organized and all cleaned up at the end of each day and at the end of project. We have yet to decide on landscaping but the groundwork has been laid by John for irrigation. Part 2 will be completed in the Spring, giving the area around the new pool install time to settle. Will update review once that part is complete.”

“We hired Starkie Landscaping Design to create a patio space for a hot tub. Mr. Starkie created an amazing area that exceeded our expectations. He is hands on throughout the entire process and his level of communication is excellent. The crew that completed the job was outstanding. These men are hard workers, meticulous and always made sure all areas were clean before they left for the day. As we are new homeowners, Mr. Starkie was able to provide us with recommendations for other specialists that were needed after the job such as irrigation and electricity. Even after the project was completed, Mr. Starkie came back to check in on our plants as we were nervous about the heat wave. He truly cares about his customers and takes pride in his work. I would highly recommend Starkie Brothers to any of my family and friends. “
