Runciman did a high quality professional job with all aspects of my landscaping projects over a three year period—custom fencing, bluestone patios and walks, numerous shrubs and trees and a great raised bed vegetable garden. He’s a talented horticulturist and landscape designer, with a friendly, experienced, competent crew. They worked efficiently and always leave the grounds tidy at the end of the day. Design is unique and adapted to your particular preferences, location and budget. **★★★★★ — Landscape Lighting Specialist Hawaii, Feb. 2015** > We have worked with K.C. Runciman on many projects. All of their projects are creative and unique, our crews always comment how fantastic their work is. Business-wise they are a pleasure to work with. We are always excited to work with them. Would recommend to anyone! **★★★★★ — Lotus Gardenscapes & Bloom Garden Center, Feb. 2014** > K.C. Runicman do wonderful Landscape work, they are one of the oldest Design/Build Landscape contractors in the area. Beautiful Gardens and stonework as well as custom woodwork are some of their specialties..
