Customer Reviews

John Pollack

First time working with Maxalea and they were terrific. We had a very large backyard landscaping project that 3 other landscapers told us was beyond their capabilities. We worked with Chris Schattall on the project and he was terrific. They were very thorough, high quality, fast, and reasonably priced. We were very pleased with the entire project and would use them again in a heart beat. I recommend them highly.

Wife and I purchased a new house that needed a major backyard renovation. Maxalea was our first call. They ripped up flower (weed) beds, graded the yard, all the while working around a built in irrigation system. Then installed sod, and even managed to salvage a few bushes and transplant them. They were able to come in under our budget, and did all of this in 3 days. We will be hiring them again next year to finish up the front yard and hardscape a patio in.

We have been using Maxalea for years for our lawn service but this Fall we decided to use them to do a complete landscaping make over in front of our house. It was overgrown and hidden and I needed help with the design, who to call for tree removal, etc. Chad Tipton was wonderful, he was very knowledgeable and helpful with what companies to call and also the design of the front in 2 phases was very helpful. We are so happy with how it turned out and I would definitely recommend using Maxalea (and Chad) if you are looking for these types of services! Thank you Liz M (Towson)

Maxalea has completed several projects for us over the last 5l years. Not only did they help develop professional drawings they are working with us on a phased approach to help realize our outdoor living dreams. Specifically, working with the project manager,Chad, has been particularly great. He has helped us time and time again, and even if something wasn't perfect he quickly responded and quickly remediated any concerns. We look forward to the next phase which we are in the process of finalizing with Chad and Maxalea now. My wife and I can't recommend Maxalea enough, just a great company with excellent people.

Maxalea just completed planting a dozen new trees on the campus of my retirement community, a job costing on the order of $10K. They submitted the least expensive, but most comprehensive proposal of the four that were solicited; and in scoping out the job that they were to bid on, they sent not just one, but two knowledgeable professionals to clearly understand the job to be done. They came when they said they would and did a very professional job; they went the extra mile! The three attached photos show three of the trees they planted; two have deer fencing and one is just staked, being in an area not frequented by deer. I recommend them wholeheartedly.
