Client Reviews

Two years ago my husband & I hired Parker Homescape to do a landscape & hardscape installation for the front area of our property. Our property is located on a rather steep hill which sloped pretty steeply into our front yard. We wanted to be surrounded by several multi-level planting bed terraces built on retaining walls. Scott  presented a beautiful design complete with lighting. It was a lot more than we budgeted for, but Scott’s ability to help us visualize the final product, his honesty & willingness to work within our budget instilled in us confidence & trust in his vision. We decided to go with the whole project & we were very glad we went with the whole package! I cannot say enough about the professionalism of his team from day one. The landscape architect was very knowledgeable about the various shrubs, perennials & trees that best served our area in terms of the deer resistance, the light requirements & my high demand for color. He was able to coordinate a wonderful blend of color, texture & interest. When the landscape lighting finally turned on in the end, we felt like we were in a beautiful Tuscan garden. They were exceptional professionals who had a great deal of knowledge & experience but what I appreciated most from both of them was their low-key, open & accommodating approach. After the job was done, they came by in the fall to check on the plantings & then again in the spring to replace any of the plantings that did not do well over the winter. We were quite satisfied & we knew we would use them again, & we certainly did!

Last year we asked Parker Homescape to create a patio/landscape area in our backyard. Scott  worked with us to develop a layout and select appropriate plantings based on lighting, our taste, and budget. They did an absolutely beautiful job designing precisely the area we had envisioned. Their attention to detail was impeccable. Their recommendations were spot on.

In terms of implementation, they gave us a time frame to complete the project which they met. The crew that installed the plantings and patio could not have been more professional and friendly. The work was concluded last August and we enjoyed it throughout the fall.

Given the bitter winter, we had thought we did lose a few of the new plantings. We were so impressed that Scott reached out to check in this spring regarding any damage. They did a site visit and promptly replaced the affected plants. Their guarantee was truly honored.

We could not ask for a better experience. Parker Homescape is committed to excellence and exceptional performance. We hesitate to issue recommendations as experiences can vary. However, we feel compelled in this case to share our wonderful experience and a high recommendation. In fact, we ourselves recently hired Parker again to plant a tree in our front yard!

We want to say again how very pleased we are with the entire backyard landscaping project you and your team recently completed for us. From the initial planning in April to the finished product in July, it was a pleasure to work with you, and your entire crew. We appreciate you and your team’s professionalism, landscape knowledge and patience. It truly was a team effort as we always felt you were open to all our concerns and ideas. You also were conscious of our budget and were very helpful in presenting the project in segments for us to consider. Your attention to detail in “making everything right” speaks volumes about the way you conduct business. We continue to enjoy our beautiful new yard and pool area and look forward to working with you again in the future.

Scott and the team at Parker Homescape were a pleasure to work with on our paver patio project. From our initial conversation to the final inspection, they were professional, courteous, and efficient. Scott helped us on the design of the patio, both listening to our wishes and offering their expertise to create an elegant design. When it came time for their proposal, they walked us through all of the choices and were very clear and transparent about the price. In addition, they presented different options to us in a “menu” format (patio only; patio + seating wall; patio + seating wall with lighting etc.) but did not once try to push us towards higher cost features. Parker installed a roughly 400 sq. ft. patio in 5 days (the weather was very accommodating that week). The workmanship was precise, neat and extremely high quality. We could not be happier with the finished product and look forward to working with Scott and team on future projects.

An outstanding experience! I had both landscape lighting and plants updated. They did a great job with recommendations and made a few adjustments based on my preferences. I really appreciated how thorough he was with communication – following up through both e-mail and phone calls. The installation was quick and timely and everything looks great! I highly recommend Parker Homescape.

This letter is being written to applaud your timeliness, customer service, design concept, execution, and overall professionalism. The Parker Homescape team was extremely helpful in helping us envision what the finished product would look like and they listened to our concerns and made adjustments accordingly. We have been very impressed with how Parker Homescape has reached out after the job was completed, following up with phone calls to make sure we were happy with the finished product and visiting our house to make adjustments to the lighting and the sprinkler system. I’m happy to say that we would recommend Parker Homescape to our family and friends as we were very happy with your customer service and overall professionalism and product knowledge.

Thank you again.

Thank you for the excellent design and implementation of the landscaping and hardscape for our front and back yards. We were very impressed with the professionalism, client responsiveness and customer care shown by your team especially in the context of the quick turnaround time for our son’s graduation party. You exceeded our expectations and I will be happy to highly recommend Parker Homescape to your other clients.

Parker Homescape transformed our backyard into a beautiful, functional space that our whole family can enjoy. They brought us creative design ideas that were both attractive and practical. Their design fit our home, blended with the environment, and suited our lifestyle. From the design phase all the way through implementation, they listened to our needs, were attentive, and very responsive. We would highly recommend Parker Homescape!

Scott and the professional team at Parker Homescape are a pleasure to work with. They took the time to understand the challenges of my property and made several suggestions on how I could maximize the space we were working with. Having worked with many contractors over the years, I have never worked with one who always answers their phone or responds practically instantly. I have recommended them to several others (some who are very picky) and they all have had positive things to say. A+

Scott is a very passionate and dedicated professional, illustrated by his attention to detail and genuine interest in ensuring our satisfaction. He worked with us during the entire process so that we were comfortable with our decisions and scope of work, even offering some creative options to enhance our overall project, which ultimately exceeded our expectations. We look forward to using Scott’s services again on future projects.

We downsized into a new planned community and needed to landscape for privacy in our backyard. Scott took the time to design and suggest the most ideal plantings for the exact look we desired. The work was completed on schedule and on budget. Three years later it looks fantastic. I would highly recommend Parker Homescape to anyone that wants a job done right, that looks great and at a fair price.

The “curb appeal” of my home was no longer appealing! I contacted several landscape companies, but none of those companies were able to interpret my vision and stay within my budget the way Parker Homescape was able to do. Scott Parker and his team prepared a design that transformed the front of my home. The installation was performed in the time allotted by long-standing employees of Parker Homescape. I am totally satisfied with the front of my home, and I would not hesitate to call on Parker Homescape for any future landscaping needs.

Aware of the long-standing reputation of the Parker name, we had Parker Homescape design a landscape for New Jersey Automobile Club’s corporate buildings. From design to construction, to post-job follow-through, our expectations were far exceeded and the Parker staff and crews were exceptional. After our job was finished, the Parker staff took the time to diligently explain all necessary care, and when some plants perished, the material was not only replaced in a timely fashion, but we were given additional plants at no charge. We have subsequently given Parker Homescape more work and we will continue to do so in the future. A truly professional and talented firm!

We were thrilled with the outstanding job done by Parker Homescape in transforming our landscaping. After a tough winter where a few shrubs did not survive, we were equally pleased when Parker promptly replaced the plants.

Parker Homescape went well beyond my expectations for a service company by committing to our project and putting in extra effort to enable us to create the design we wanted with the requirements and constraints we faced. Once there, they were able to implement that design in a short period of time. After the installation, Scott made a return visit to make sure we understood the care needs of our new plantings and to get a final look and feel for his and his crews’ work. His personal touch and care for the outcome of our vision was greatly appreciated, and rare in this day. I really got the sense that at the end of the day he cared about our satisfaction.

The patio looks great. Thanks also for taking the time up front to listen to our concerns and for explaining things to us and for meeting our expectations for the project in the end. It was a pleasure working with you and your crew. We look forward to working with you in the future for a more permanent solution to our backyard landscape.

Linda and I found Parker Homescape to be wonderful to deal with throughout the entire process. They paid tremendous attention to detail and had a strong desire to completely satisfy the customer –I would use them again in a heartbeat and would recommend anyone I know to use Scott and his team of professionals.

Andy and I have done a lot of work on this crazy old house, and by far working with you was the best experience we’ve had in 13 years. Nothing is straight forward on a 110 year old house, as you know. Your patience and professionalism was above your competitors and in general most contractors that we’ve been exposed to. We’re getting great comments not just on the landscaping, but on the house in general which was our goal. Now let’s just hope someone wants to buy it in a couple of years!

We certainly made a great choice when we decided to go with Parker Homescape. You listened to exactly what we wanted and worked with us. The entire experience was more than we could have asked or hoped for. You’re reliable, professional and performed the job as promised- a ‘Class Act.‘ We will continue to use Parker Homescape for all our outdoor projects. Everything looks great, thanks!

We have very much enjoyed the patio and landscaping you installed last summer and have received many compliments from friends and family. I always make a point of telling them that the work was done by Parker Homescape and what a pleasure it was to work with you.

I thank you again for being so professional. Out of all the companies that I met with, you were the friendliest, most approachable, and professional.

We were looking to update our garden and contacted Parker Homescape. Scott came to review the project and was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in his advice. The project turned out to be all we wished for and has received many compliments from friends and neighbors. I would recommend the partnership of Scott to anyone looking for a professional landscaping job. Many companies promise to follow up on their projects, Parker Homescape keeps to their promise and will not let you down.

We had Parker Homescape landscape a large area off our deck where a pool had been. They leveled the area, laid a patio surrounded with a sitting wall and plantings with an outdoor fireplace as the centerpiece. Absolutely professional in all of their dealings and they stood behind their guarantee for any tree or perennial that didn’t make it through the winter. We love the finished area and put the fireplace and sitting area to good use. Would definitely use them again for another project.

Parker Homescape did a number of jobs at our home including landscaping and lighting. They not only did a great, professional job, but they also stood by their work. When some of the lights stopped working, they quickly identified the problem (not related to anything they did), fixed it, and were super-reasonable with us. We are very happy with and highly recommend Parker Homescape.

Dear Scott- the beautiful flowers you sent me arrived a short time ago. Thank you. It was a pleasure doing work with you and I am delighted each time I look at the stonework. It certainly adds “curb appeal” to my home. Your thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated.

We contracted with Parker Homescape to design and construct a new front bluestone walkway with steps, replacing our decaying one which was constructed of landscape timbers. Scott and his team are among the most professional firms with which we have worked. He suggested several alternatives and ultimately presented a very well written proposal. We had several competitive bids for the job, and Parker was chosen for their attention to detail, competitiveness, and responsive business attention. His team did a great job on the installation and we now have a front walkway that is both unique and beautiful. Scott shows up on time for appointments and takes a personal interest in making sure that everything is done right.

We are so pleased with the new look and it is always a pleasure doing business with you.

We will certainly highly recommend you when we can. Have a great planting season!

Parker Homescape transformed my back and front yard into a gorgeous and pleasing oasis. Their detail and care to our project surpassed our expectations. We will enjoy our outdoor space tremendously!

Parker Homescape did a great job landscaping the area around our spa. We really wanted to create an area that made the spa look like it belonged there, rather than just dropped next to the house. The entire project was handled very professionally. We were able to get in touch with Scott easily and he worked with us to stay within our budget and made changes to his design based on our preferences. After initially contacting Scott, he was able to promptly come to see the area and provided a design idea shortly after. The entire project was completed timely without any drama.

I would definitely hire Parker Homescape again for another landscaping project.

Scott and the Parker Homescape team were great to work with. They were very knowledgeable about what plants/trees would work and where, and provided us with really good ideas. They worked within our budget to make our property look like it belongs in a magazine. The project was done on time and was true to budget. They came to evaluate our property after the harsh winter and replaced plants that didn’t make it. They were a great partner in making sure our overall landscaping goals were met.

While I am confident that there will be a number of your customers who will report how satisfied they (we) are with your professionalism, creativity, and the quality of your work, I think it is important that they appreciate the integrity you possess, as demonstrated when things don’t go well. Two years ago, acts of nature conspired to completely ruin our lawn. Scott stated that he would remedy the situation—and he did. He addressed our particular type of problem and had it corrected, without our incurring any additional costs. Needless to say, not everyone would have been as forthright in taking the responsibility for an unforeseen circumstance, but Scott did without a moment of hesitation. Acts, such as these, inspire trust, confidence, and loyalty.

Thank you for your excellent services. I have utilized Parker Homescape on two homes in the past 8 years, as well as recommended them to several family and friends (who were also very pleased). The defining element that makes Parker Homescape stand out is the professionalism of its team. Prior to the work commencement, the Parker designers helped us to visualize our space by walking our property. They showed us photos of all plantings and samples of all hardscape materials while describing the texture, color, and other design elements. A conceptual design was patiently rendered and finalized, allowing for much of our own tastes and interests to be incorporated into the project. On the two occasions at my homes, the team sent by Parker consisted of the same workers, although the projects were years apart. The Parker team took great pride in their work and always went the “extra mile”. I would only use Parker Homescape for hardscape, lighting design, and landscaping. The work that they perform stands out from what I have seen others do and has added years of enjoyment within the spaces they completed.

We would like to commend the Parker Homescape staff for their excellence in designing a remarkable landscape, along with a complementary and gorgeous hardscape. The expertise and professionalism of the design staff and workers were evident throughout the entire home improvement process, and the attention to meticulous details during construction made it quite obvious that the company’s main objective was the satisfaction of the client. We chose Parker Homescape because of its reputation, flexibility, and the sense of trust that we gained through meeting the staff. We have received over a dozen compliments from friends and family and would strongly recommend Parker Homescape. They have completely won us over!

From our first meeting, we knew we had the right company and team members to work with us and our landscaping needs. Your enthusiasm and expertise were quite clear, as was your willingness to truly listen to our wishes (as novices with landscape design) while being sensitive to our budget. Your additional visits to our home, before submitting your design ideas to us, further solidified our confidence and trust in your team. We cannot say enough good things about the efficiency, level of care, attention to detail, and thorough follow up as work was being completed. We are convinced that your level of passion, care for your customers, cleanliness, and focus on delivering outstanding results, that mirror a slice of heaven, is truly unmatched. We have already received so many compliments from friends and neighbors on the refreshed and beautiful curb appeal and can’t wait to see it bloom throughout the seasons. Additionally, our backyard is now a relaxing and inspirational space we can escape to. We sincerely thank the entire team for sharing your passion with us and providing an inspirational landscape we trust we’ll enjoy in every season!

We were needing a “lift” for our backyard and connected with Scott from Parker Homescape to design and implement a plan that suited our vision. The entire experience has been wonderful, from our initial meeting through completion of the project. They patiently helped us understand our options and worked with us to design a plan that satisfied our aesthetic goals within our budget. They came to our home on several occasions to tweak the plan, always with a true willingness and desire to make our property beautiful and the process perfect. The job was done as promised and on schedule. It’s been a few weeks since completion, and Scott has consistently checked on their work to ensure that all is to their high standards and that we remain satisfied. We can’t speak highly enough of their work ethic, their responsiveness, and overall customer service. The result is also beautiful! We can’t recommend Parker Homescape highly enough and will certainly work with them again.

I’m writing to let you know of the exceptional service that was displayed today by your crew. About a year ago, Parker Homescape completed a new front landscape at my home, along with new decorative block walls. Just recently, I contacted Parker Homescape about a few of the plants. I didn’t like how a few of the plants looked and they returned promptly to replace them. I didn’t expect that service to be free and surely didn’t expect it to be done as quickly either! The entire Parker Homescape crew displayed why people may pay a little more for professional and quality service. As the saying goes…you get what you pay for.

Thank you for a job well done. The Parker Homescape project was executed with precision, professional expertise, and tremendous knowledge about design and plant selection. I enjoyed discussing my mission with you and your vision to help make my garden spring to life. The team concept with the homeowner and Parker Homescape is an excellent business practice that exceeds expectations. The thank-you note and the beautiful flower arrangement with all my favorite flowers added to the experience. You touched my heart, you touched my soul. Some of my neighbors have commented about the beautiful landscape, and how it enhances my home. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

What a pleasant experience we had with your company! After another contractor abandoned our job partway through, Parker Homescape worked with our remaining budget and gave us a true backyard oasis. Parker Homescape’s staff was very professional, courteous, and greatly exceeded our expectations. Parker Homescape stands by its word and workmanship and we highly recommend them.

Scott’s attention to the finest detail on every project should be a lesson learned for every business owner.

Parker Homescape did an amazing job on our backyard. From the inception of the project to the completion, the Parker Homescape staff were professional, hardworking, and extremely responsive. We would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

Thank you for our breath-taking landscape! Everyone stops by our house to ask us the name of the company that did the work. A round of applause for your designer’s talent, staff’s professionalism and your meticulous follow-through on our deadline and subsequent phone calls regarding plant care. You should be very proud to run such a talented organization.

Choosing Parker Homescape was an easy decision for us. From our first meeting to the day the work was completed, Parker Homescape has been professional, reliable, informative, and understanding of all our needs. The follow-up calls well after the completion of work made us realize how important customer satisfaction is to their company. We would not hesitate to use them for all our future landscaping needs and would highly recommend them to others.

Parker Homescape did a great job listening to what I wanted for our backyard, coming up with a landscaping plan, and turning it from paper into a reality. The pond, fire pit, and patio came out wonderfully. Additionally, we had a couple of plants that didn’t make the first winter and in the spring Scott replaced and replanted them promptly. I am extremely pleased with the end results.

Thank you for the recent repair and redesign of our landscape lighting system. I think it looks great and we get lots of compliments. I had a hard time finding someone to do this project, so I sincerely appreciate coming home and seeing it look so nice. It is so wonderful to find someone who is professional and knowledgeable in their field. I also appreciate your timeliness regarding appointments and follow up. To me, that really means a lot and shows that you have genuine respect for your client’s time. I will definitely recommend you to friends and plan on using Parker Homescape for future projects at my home.

The Parker Homescape staff was great! They made great recommendations regarding both landscaping (especially about deer-resistant plants) and hardscaping. Scott was great! He sat down with my husband and me and went over several planting and lighting options. The workers transformed our front and back yard and we are happy that our property is no longer an eyesore. They are quite a talented landscape design group and are not “cookie cutter. Even within the year where two of the plants did not survive the cold winter, they replaced them within a day or so.

I would recommend them without hesitation!

We cannot say enough about the service and quality of work from Parker Homescape. Scott helped us through all elements of our project from design to completion, making sure we were satisfied. We would definitely recommend Parker Homescape and will be using their services again in the near future.

The Parker staff spent four hours with us to review our property and to answer any of our questions. We wanted a landscape design that matched the architecture and era of the house while staying within our budget. Their design staff mentioned that certain areas could be broken into smaller projects and implemented over time. This approach helped us to meet our immediate landscaping needs, while also providing a “road map” for future landscaping projects. In addition, the Parker staff followed-up with us several times asking if there were any changes to the design or if we had any additional ideas/concerns that we might need to be incorporated. The consolation and design process offered by Parker Homescape is exceptional. We now have a landscape design that provides interest in all four seasons, and we have since recommended Scott and Parker Homescape to our friends, family, and others who are considering landscaping projects. We look forward to working with them again soon.

Parker Homescape did an outstanding job landscaping the front of our house and installing landscape lighting. Scott and the team were very responsive and were not satisfied until the job was completed and we were happy with the result. Their willingness to spend the time to understand our requirements and provide suggestions went a long way in the successful execution of the project. We look forward to working with them on future projects.

We are very happy with the work Parker Homescape did on our patio. What an excellent job! It is a seamless and beautiful transition from house to yard and we couldn’t enjoy it more. Thanks!

Many thanks for the job well done – we love our patio and will enjoy it for many years to come!

Thank you for the pondless water feature – it is drop-dead gorgeous!

I contacted Parker Homescape after researching landscape lighting contractors. Ultimately we chose them to install lighting around many of our trees and garden art. They were responsive, listened to and met our objectives, and executed well. 

Our experience with Parker Homescape was very good. Scott provided us with a meticulously detailed estimate. After some tweaking, we agreed to a plan, and they completed the work on schedule. When we found a problem with one of the plants a few days later, they came in and took care of it right away. After the work was complete, they gave us detailed written instructions on how to care for the vast variety of plants (about 50!) they had introduced to our landscape. Overall I’m happy with the work and will consider hiring them again for another project.

We used Parker Landscape to design and landscape a very steep slope in the back of our house. We had done this previously with another landscaper with no success. Scott came up with a plan which was designed to meet our needs and has sustained success given the challenges of the topography. The install team was very professional and worked closely with us to ensure that everything was to our approval. Scott followed up several times after completion and he was readily available for any follow-up questions or support. We would highly recommend them.

We were very happy with the work done by Parker Landscape from start to finish. We didn’t know exactly what we wanted but they were patient and walked us through the process from design to completion and still, today are available to help with any issues that pop up. Customer service is excellent.

Scott Parker is a true professional…He takes the time to fully understand your needs and crafts a solution that is within your budget. His work is second to none and is a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend him and his team for your landscape design needs.

Scott and his team are fantastic. They did work at our old house, including landscaping, low voltage lighting, and a patio – and when we moved, we immediately called them again. I would highly recommend Parker Landscape. From the start of the project to the end, they were professional, courteous, and extremely easy to work with.

We recently used Parker Homescape for landscape and hardscape work on our home in Basking Ridge. Scott and the entire team were very professional from start to finish and the work they performed was done exactly as we defined. The hardscape stonework in the back yard/pool area was done with expert care and looks fantastic. Scott’s vision for the new plantings in the front of the house was spot on. We will certainly use Parker Homescape again next time we do landscape work at our home.

Parker Homescape – under the leadership of Scott Parker – did an outstanding job on our patio and landscaping, which was completed this fall. We were thrilled with the end result and impressed with the level of professionalism from start to finish. We went from having an unusable plot of land to a beautifully designed and functional backyard. We highly recommend them and plan to use them again for more projects on our home in the future!

The house looked great last night pulling up to the lights. It was a nice surprise. We have the best landscaping on the block!

The representatives of Parker Homescape worked with me on a job site, which had to be approved where I live at. Everything was done timely and their work product is top-notch. With no issues. Everyone I have dealt with at Parker Homescape was professional. I was unsure as to certain issues as to the size of the stones, and they guided me in the right direction to have an addition to my home that is aesthetically pleasing.

I intend to use them for additional work to be done.

We recently installed an in-ground pool and when it came time to pick a landscape designer to complete the look, we chose Parker Homescape. Scott was very attentive throughout the bid process and was readily accessible via email or phone and made us feel like true customers. The Parker Homescape team renovated multiple large sections of our yard which were left in shambles from the heavy pool excavation equipment. Parker laid river rock pebbles around the pool and selected beautiful plantings as well as installed a paver stone patio in the fenced pool enclosure. The plan was executed beyond our expectations.
