"We just wanted to say thank you for the incredible job you did in transforming our front yard from blah to breathtaking. Every morning we wake up, look out the front window, and are amazed at what our front yard has become. The walkway, the driveway, the boulder walls, the plantings, the sod - it all looks great and is a perfect compliment to our house.

We really appreciate the expertise and attention to detail you brought to our yard. The time you spent with us up front to create a design the incorporated both Lori's and my ideas as well as your own suggestions proved invaluable. And the flexibility you showed as the project began really made us feel like a part of the project and resulted in some on-the-job adjustments that made all the difference in the final results. The combination of the walkway, the boulder wall, the cobblestone border, and the sod blends perfectly with the natural setting around our house, yet still looks formal and well manicured at the same time.

In addition, the professionalism of you and your crew on the job was outstanding. You showed up when you said you would, the work took as long as you said it would, and the workmanship was incredible. You brought the right equipment, the right know-how, and most importantly the right people to do the job. And just as importantly, you came in on budget.

Thank you again for giving us a beautiful front yard!"

"The new front walk, the curving retaining wall, the attractive plantings, and the lights, are not only beautiful, but have solved a difficult maintenance problem on a steeply sloped hill, that we endured for many years. Your quick vision into remedying this in such as eye-appealing way, and then completing the project in only a week, is nothing short of amazing!! Thank you for doing all this on time, and when you promised.

We have had many compliments, including people who are just passing by, but stop especially to admire our home's new look. We always mention how great a company you are to work with, and give you the highest recommendation."

"Your design was simple, elegant, and appropriate for the vintage of our house.

Please feel free to give my name and contact information to anyone who is looking for a reference. We can't recommend you highly enough."

"Just wanted to write you and tell you how impressed Joan and I are by the work that Birch Mountain did at our property in December. For years I've struggled with the slope in front of the house and the difficulty it gave us in making the landscape compliment our new home. The curving wall, granite steps and new walkway you built us have not only solved the problem but have been a tremendous update and improvement to our home. For sure it has more 'curb appeal' and will only look better when it is landscaped in the Spring. I can't wait for the final phase of this to be completed.

We can only say that you have our highest recommendation."

I just wanted to let you know how pleased Michele and I are with the landscape work Birch Mountain Earthworks did for us this past August. It was a dramatic transformation to say the least, which not only increased the value of our home, but will allow us to spend a lot more quality time outside in our yard. Our friends, without the benefit of seeing daily progress, were amazed at the before and after contrast. And it only took eight days!

Care was taken in laying the foundations, setting each course of block in the wall and steps, and establishing the location of the plantings - no detail was overlooked. None of this would have been possible, Daren, without your efforts working with us since the beginning of the project. You arrived for appointments when promised and listened to our thoughts, transforming then into 'concrete' solutions… We look forward to working with you in the future and enthusiastically recommend your outfit to anyone considering a landscape contractor."

"Kristin and I would like to express our appreciation to you and your staff for the beautiful retaining wall that you built for us this summer. Many visitors are impressed and have complimented on the appearance as well as the craftsmanship. As you remember, it was wet and hot when you began the project at our house. You and your staff worked non-stop whenever weather permitting, nine hours on some days. All of you have kept our needs in mind and made appropriate and necessary on-site modifications to the original design. Your timely work has made it possible for the driveway contractor to come and finish her work in a timely fashion… We have had so many bad experiences with previous home improvement contractors, including one landscaping company that signed an agreement with us and never showed up to do the work. You and your staff have improved our perceptions by your professionalism and quality work. We will come back to you without any hesitance for projects in the future, and we will also be happy to refer our friends and colleagues to you."

"I'm writing to verify that I got everything I was promised… and I was promised a lot. CURB APPEAL with traffic stopping results. Well, I'm happy to say there have been no traffic accidents, but we certainly get more than our share of lookers, and plenty of positive feedback.

Although I was very skeptical, I have to admit that every last brick and paver stayed right where it was put… even after the terrible winter we just had. Every plant came back to life and bloomed it's little head off.

Thanks again for delivering what you promised."

"Thank you so much for the wonderful change you made to our home on Nevers Road in South Windsor. The end results of the landscaping, stone walls, and walk were more than we had envisioned. We have received many compliments from friends and strangers passing by.

I must compliment you on the way you performed - started on time, no mess, clean-up every night and finished on schedule, even to give me credit for material that was not used.

I would recommend you to anyone as honest, confident, knowledgeable and talented contractors."

"Sandy and I are very happy with the way the patio came out - it is a vast improvement. We are also delighted with the way in which you and your crew did the work. There was no disruption, no real damage to the lawn (in spite of all the heavy equipment used) and I was really impressed with how quickly you were done.

Please feel free to use us as a reference in the future."

"We have been enjoying the patio all summer. The funny thing is that I used to not like sitting on our small back porch. Now that I have something to look at I am enjoying the patio without even setting foot on it."

"I just got home and drove into the driveway and though it is dark I can already tell that I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT!!! I am breathlessly anticipating seeing it tomorrow morning in the daylight. I can see I put my trust in the right folks. Your vision has produced results I thought were impossible. My house is not only no longer an eye-sore, it's charming.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

"Dear Daren,

Thank you so very much for your informative presentation to the East Windsor Garden Club. It was exactly what I had hoped you would do. Your explanation of what goes into constructing a water garden helped us to understand and recognize the feasibility of such a project for our own yards.

The photographs you brought helped us to see the steps in such a project and the beautiful finished product.

Hopefully some of the members will consider a water garden or one of your other landscaping ideas.

We wish you and your company continued success in the future."
