Thank you, Nancy! I am doing some landscaping myself this year, and I certainly would have called Back to Paradise for a quote if I had read your review first. I agree with you that a satisfied client is absolutely the best reference. Like you, I like to support local businesses as much as possible, so I always pass the word along if someone does a particularly good job. We had quotes from a number of landscapers for a big project this year (front, side and back yard clearing and regrading, new patio and wall in back, correction of challenging drainage issues all over, sod, new plantings, etc.). We ultimately chose Laurel Oak, with whose work I am extremely pleased. Considering the scope of my project I am surprisingly unstressed, which I attribute to two people: Guy Scott, one of the terrific Laurel Oak owners, and Dave Harvey, the absolutely wonderful Laurel Oak supervisor assigned to my project. Both men are experienced, talented, knowledgeable landscape professionals, and genuinely nice fellows. Communciation with them has been excellent, my property is swept up every day when the crew leaves, the materials and workmanship are top notch, and frankly I have not had even a single complaint. I am truly thrilled with the way they are transforming my home, it is simply astounding what a good professional landscaper can do to make your property more enjoyable, and it is really not as expensive as people think. My only regret is that I did not call Laurel Oak out years ago. And having looked at so many landscapers, I was also very impressed with MGM Landscaping, whose owner Chad Mason is a former marine and an extremely nice man, I have heard good things about his work from a lot of my neighbors. Making the decision between MGM and Laurel Oak was not easy, both companies are Medford based, quality landscapers, and I really don't think you could go wrong with either one.
