Customer Reviews

Emily Nakashima

We were referred to Harkness Gardens by an architecture and landscape design team we worked with, and we had a great experience. Paul and his team worked on a redo of our backyard, including reconfiguring and rebuilding the deck and railings, installing a stone patio, removing existing concrete, and adding landscaping, irrigation, landscape lighting, electric heaters + supporting structure, etc. The finished work looks beautiful and Paul was easy to communicate with and very responsive, and went above & beyond to fix any issues.
