Pool Landscape Design Long Island

“The landscape came out beautiful.  When you hire Starkie Bros. you get the platinum package every time. We used them 21 years ago to do the pavers and landscape around the pool in the yard.  We were extremely happy then as we are now.  He even had several of the same workers and they remembered working in our yard.  He also did our front walkway and pavers a couple of years ago.  I would definitely recommend John Starkie!!”

“All went as planned.”

“John Starkie treats YOUR home like it was HIS home. He was quite patient while I decided on the design as well as materials to be used. Because of the advent of cold weather, he was not able to lay down blacktop, so he postponed that portion until April and also postponed payment for that portion as well until fully completed. He’s a landscaping artist and I wholeheartedly - without hesitation - recommend him for your project.”

“It was all outstanding and they did a spectacular job!”

“John Starkie is a rare breed. He is extremely professional and easy-going. His approach to landscape design is that of a craftsman. He really listened to our interests and HAND DREW, a design, free of charge. It showed his expertise and attention to detail, color, and space. He addressed all our needs, was flexible with our budget and even threw in a few extras as a courtesy. The service he provided for us went far above and beyond what all the other landscape design companies we interviewed were claiming to provide for us. Do yourself a favor and hire this man!”

“John Starkie was in contact with us on a daily basis. He did what he said he would do and it came out great. The work was beautiful and done in a professional manner. I will hire him again when it comes time to do our driveway.”

“John and his men did great work. They told us how they were going to perform the work..I did some of my own research and they built it the way it should be...they cut no corners. Looking at other jobs in the area done by others than Starkie...you can see the difference. They were on time....cleaned up daily....the design they used is unlike some of the more average designs around the area....not the cheapest...but when we first spoke...how they were going to do my project played a major part in our decision to hire them...everyone that sees what they did are complimentary of the look created...”

“Working with my ideas, John came up with the most unique, peaceful, well designed plan. His hand drawn ideas came to life better than expected. His care for detail, aesthetics, and workmanship were outstanding. His crew was meticulous, knowledgeable, and sensitive to my needs as the project progressed. The results are outstanding. A unique feature of the job is my L shaped, stone dog run behind the planting! Here are some photos of my newly landscaped peaceful place. Thank you.”

Julie T.

“Excellent work. I have never seen a person so passionate about their work. John was extremely attentive and understanding, even when my personal opinion may have differed slightly from his professional one. He guided me through the planning and even made changes along the way as the project developed. His crew was very kind and hard working. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.”

Jo Ann E.

“Excellent!! I am extremely happy with the service. The workers were on time, professional and cleaned up after the work. The project was done on time and excellent quality. Would certainly hire them for future projects.”

Deborah F.

“Excellent. Contacted me immediately and returned calls and questions in a very timely fashion. The final work result was beyond our expectations.”

Bob M.

“John was great. I had no idea where to start with remodeling the landscaping and hardscaping in front of my house. But John hand-drew a comprehensive plan and gave a fair price. His team was very professional and very efficient. Shrubs are guaranteed for a year! Can’t beat that! John is also known to follow up with his customers year after year to continue to make sure they are satisfied. Will certainly keep John in mind for future hard-scaping work!”

Anthony B.

“We have worked with John Starkie twice. Once he did our landscaping in our front yard, and the second time we hired him to do a huge masonry job in our backyard and driveway. He responds the same day, always- within an hour. John is brilliant. Genius designer. He was present on our job multiple times a day for the duration. He is meticulous. His men are meticulous and worked 10 hours a day to get the job done in time for a party. Our yard is beyond gorgeous- cars stop often to look in and see the work. Bravo to John and his team. Would hire again and again for everything!”

Kaitlin G.

“This was our 1st experience with Mr. Starkie, and we had a wonderful experience. John came to our house with paper, pen and tools to design a layout of what he envisioned for our house. It was 100% perfect and to the tee to what we were looking for. His men worked hard and was always neat and meticulous in what they did. They were a joy to work with if we needed anything else and very quick to take care of those things. John was always on-site to check on the work and to always keep my wife and I informed on what was being done. Great job to Starkie Brothers and looking forward to working with them again in the future. I will definitely recommend.”

Joe P.

“Excellent job in all areas. The finished look is beautiful. Tree selection was great. Layout of plants is really pretty. Professional job all around! I would highly recommend this company and will use them again.”

“I am so happy I could cry. I'm over the moon with the phenomenal mason walking path and garden landscaping job that John Starkie and his crew did for our home. It was an amazing transformation for our front yard. They were professional, hardworking, and dedicated to completing the job in an efficient and timely manner; it only took two days. I highly recommend their services!“
