Bluestone Landscape Design Group

"Matt Stachel of PLS created a lovely landscape installation (plantings, new mailbox, and corner fences) that has enhanced the curb appeal of our home. Matt and PLS treated every facet of the project with outstanding care and professionalism. Matt promptly visited our property, listened attentively to our ideas and questions, and created a detailed proposal with a range of options that beautifully reflected our vision. He helped us select the perfect plantings for our setting and was very flexible in adjusting the plan when we chose to add a few elements. Matt is now bringing his talent to our new landscaping project: creating almost 2000 feet of walking trails on our property. Matt’s expert recommendations, clarity of communication, and positive energy again brought our ideas to life. The final project is impressive—at once grand and natural—beautifully integrated with the landscape, and perfect in every detail."

"Our backyard was a mess: rocks, stumps, old concrete masonry units all broken up laying about (previous owner, not us!) and a 4' high berm running through the back making it extremely difficult to use; Matt & his team cleaned up the rocks, stumps, concrete and cut down the berm, put in 60-80' of boulder retaining wall (I originally called with the idea of doing a timber wall, but the boulders are far more impressive and natural in the woodland setting) and filled in with 125 yds of topsoil to make it overall leve; they then built us a bocce court complete with gravel foundation, drainage, 6"x6" frame and filled it all in with a mix of polymer fill that provides a firm playing surface that will require minimal upkeep; they prepped the topsoil, grading it away from the house and put down seed. It is still just a dirt field, but it is 1000% times better than it was, and in a few weeks we will have a grass filled back yard that my wife won't be afraid to go out into. Matt kept us informed about the status & what was going to be done each day (had a couple poor days of weather); it's a tough location that they couldn't necessarily get the big trucks to, so they made do with what they had, kept the runoff from the neighbors and pressure washed the street when they were done. Overall, they left the place looking far, far better than before they arrived. That is the sad part, no matter how good it looks now, people that didn't see the mess it was to begin with will have no appreciation for the work Matt & his team put in! I would not hesitate to use PLS again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional and enthusiastic landscaping company. David & Melissa New Hope, PA"

"PLS built a custom retaining wall with natural rock in our back yard. Matt took into consideration our future plans and current issues with water/drainage to create a completely new back yard for us. The quality of the construction is exceptional and the entire team was wonderful to work with. We look forward to seeing what they do with phase two!"

"We are beyond thrilled to have found Matt and Professional Landscaping, Inc. While we are in the beginning stages of our landscape design for our backyard paradise with our new swimming pool, I am confident Matt and his crew will be amazing. I was in a jam and needed to have a couple of my new trees relocated before the pool install. Matt was great and he and his guy took extra care and dug up and moved my trees. They gave me a fair price and I was happy with the results. I'm excited to see what Matt will design for our new backyard and feel very confident the rest of this journey will be professional and most likely more than I expected, because that is who Matt is as a person and a professional. On a sidenote, I observed a really nice quality in Matt and the way he supports and teaches his crew to do different things and makes them feel appreciated. That right there is an awesome quality! I highly recommend Matt and PLS."

"In the wake of Ida, several stone walls on my property were totally destroyed. One wall was washed into my neighbor’s lawn and I needed someone to come remove stones blocking a waterway and restack part of the stone wall. Otherwise, the next rain storm would surely flood my neighbor’s property. I reached out to PLS in the evening and promptly received a call back from Matt Stachel. Matt visited my property and gave me a quick and very fair estimate that night. He was able to get a crew in there the following morning. The work was done, as promised, within a single day and Matt even took care of a few extra issues for me. He’s an excellent communicator and he clearly documented every phase of the job’s progress through completion. There were no surprises along the way. The PLS team and Matt really came through for me and I was relieved to one big problem resolved so quickly. Kudos to a great company! I’d use them again in a heartbeat."
