Customer Feedback
I just want to say how thrilled I am with Kim’s landscape design putting my vision onto paper. And sincere thanks to all those hard workers at MCL Landscaping who then put her plan into reality. They’ve done an AMAZING job, completely transforming my grey shingle backyard into a beautiful and peaceful oasis. Spring can’t come soon enough for it all to green up and start growing! Thank you.

Just wanted to say how pleased I am with the paving. Thought Kieran and Paddy were terrific, they have made a super job and paid attention to detail. Also left the place really tidy.

We used Kim and her team for our new build a couple of years ago, when we wanted to further develop our back garden we knew the only person for the job was Kim. Came back from work today and loved the transformation!! Thanks again.

MCL did our landscaping for our new build and did a beautiful job, the planting was exactly as we envisioned. Kim was easy to deal with and ensured the right plants were chosen to fit the environment as well. We have a lot of admirers in the neighbourhood its turned our house into a home. Thank you so much for your hard work in pulling it all together MCL!
