“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!!”

“I highly recommend Starkie Brothers Landscaping - the planning was extremely detailed, and they were able to complete the entire project in one day. Work was completed exceptionally well.
Description of work: Our whole front yard was remodeled with custom landscaping. We were provided with a layout drawing the previous week, and the whole project was completed in a single day. My wife and I are extremely happy with the work that was done, and our yard looks great!”

“John Starkie and his crew were awesome! John has a great eye and vision and is meticulous with the work that he and his crew perform. He's not the cheapest guy around, but you absolutely get what you pay for. He handled ever aspect of the job from drawings to pavers to driveway to picking plants. He contacted us and gave us multiple updates daily and was a pleasure to work with. You can tell that he and his crew have been doing this a long time. No delays, no issues and the job came out perfect. It was also done on time within the time frame that John stated up front. He will be my "go to" guy for any other work needed.”

“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.”

“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!”

“It went great. Our house could be in a magazine. We just wanted to spruce up our front after fully renovating our home. Starkie Brothers came to look at our property and right there gave us some design ideas and a price range, so we knew what to expect when he returned with our planting plan. We gave a small deposit and less than a week later we scheduled our installation. The crew showed up at 9am with John Starkie to get them started. They had us look at the real layout before they planted anything to make sure we liked it and then they started planting. They were all done start to finish in 3 hours and did a great job cleaning up too. John Starkie also gave us some idea of the easy maintenance we would have to do. I would recommend Starkie Brothers for any of your landscaping needs.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
