### Featured Review

**★★★★★ — jessica\_kimmell, May 2025**

> We had a great experience working with Aureli Landscaping from start to finish. They rebuilt several dry stack stone pillars in our front yard and we could not be more pleased with the work. The care, artistry, and attention to detail with which MaryLynn and Yancey approached the project was exceptional.

**★★★★★ — Backyard patio and garden, Jan. 2026**

> MaryLynn and Yancee were really great and did a wonderful job transforming our backyard! We had a patio put in, which took about 2 weeks for the actual install and turned out beautifully, and they also designed and planted a garden to surround it after the fact. For both projects they kept us informed on timelines and costs as they changed, and we're thrilled with how they turned out. They were also available for contact when we had questions and were amendable to our suggestions and input. We would definitely work with them again!

**Comment from Aureli Landscaping & Custom Stone Work:**

> Thank you for the 5 star rating! We're so glad you had a great experience and look forward to working with you again soon.

**★★★★★ — Antoinette Coleman, Dec. 2025**

> Working with the talented MaryLynn and the exceptional Team of Aureli Landscaping was a seamless and enjoyable experience. The front of my boutique no longer reflected the beauty of my business inside and I entrusted her with complete creative design. The result was nothing short of exquisite. The unique selection of plants, gorgeous color palette combinations and overall design is so sophisticated and beautifully curated. The landscaping remains stunning all year round, requires minimal maintenance and constantly draws compliments. Honestly I truly believe it has increased client engagement. Aureli Landscaping delivers true design EXCELLENCE…I highly recommend.

**Comment from Aureli Landscaping & Custom Stone Work:**

> Thanks so much for the 5 stars, Antoinette. Our team works hard to provide a very unique and creative space. We are happy to hear the positive effects of a beautiful landscape! Your kind words inspire us daily. Thanks for your support.

**★★★★★ — Kathryn Bonnez, Dec. 2025**

> Working with Marylynn and Yancee was a great experience from start to finish. Enthusiastic, encouraging, and always communicative, they discussed the project with us extensively, offering different solutions and levels of work to achieve what we wanted. They also went the extra mile with patience and willingness to work with our irrigation person when unforeseen obstacles came up. They were professional and diligent in bringing the project to success. I would heartily recommend them for anyone's landscaping needs, and would definitely work with them again on future projects.

**Comment from Aureli Landscaping & Custom Stone Work:**

> Thank you Kathy for taking the time to review us. We enjoyed working with you and look forward to your future projects soon. MaryLynn Aureli

**★★★★★ — Jeff Dormitzer, Nov. 2024**

> Aureli Landscaping & Custom Stone Work constructed a retaining wall for us.  We were very happy with the job.  They arrived on the day they said the job would start and then worked with us through the construction process to make sure we happy with the project.  They cleaned up each day after they were done with work and kept us in the loop as the project progressed.  We were really happy with the result.  Throughout the whole process they were very professional and accommodating.  I can highly recommend them.

**★★★★★ — R Curtis, Nov. 2024**

> Stone work is their specialty and they did  wonderful job.  We wanted to reduce the slope around a pool and repair a "broken" swale.  Stone terracing solved the slope issue and the swale drainage was repaired with a short segment of pipe and work on the sidewalk that was blocking the swale.

**★★★★★ — Connie Izzo, Nov. 2024**

> I used Aureli Landscaping & Custom Stone Work to convert a terraced slope into a stone-defined garden area.  I was thrilled with the results which included plantings for the garden. I was kept informed about what was going on at all times, and I found Aureli Landscaping to be a very professional and trustworthy organization.
>
>  I also observed Aureli's work being done on 2 of my neighbors' properties.  They executed the property owners' visions in an excellent manner.

**Comment from Aureli Landscaping & Custom Stone Work:**

> Connie, Thank you so much for your kind review. It was a real pleasure working with you on the transformation of your front slope. We look forward to more projects in your beautiful neighborhood.

**★★★★★ — mdinnan, Sept. 2023**

> Mary Lynn, Yancey, and Amber worked tirelessly to solve the problem with our fountain, not holding water. They basically rebuilt the unit. It now works beautifully and is the highlight, again, of our garden.
> I would highly recommend their services for anyone with landscape or hard scape needs.

**★★★★★ — Grant Avery, July 2023**

> My small backyard was a mud pit with my dogs churning it up while playing. Aureli Landscaping & Custom Stone Work transformied my outdoor space with landscaping and stonework to create a beautiful and polished backyard oasis. Their team met my high quality standards. The stonework is well-crafted and well-placed, adding to the overall aesthetic of my outdoor space. The landscaping work has been done with care and attention to detail, resulting in a cohesive and inviting atmosphere. Thank you so much.

**★★★★★ — Cory D., June 2023**

> MaryLynn Aureli and her team do fantastic work, and more, they're a joy to collaborate with! Our project was an extensive overhaul of our backyard living space, and we are thrilled with the results -- from stonework to lighting to irrigation to plant selection, each facet of the project was carefully considered and expertly executed. I have already recommended Aureli Landscaping & Custom Stone Work to friends and colleagues and will continue to do so moving forward!

**★★★★★ — Peter Gottschalk, Oct. 2022**

> MaryLynn and her crew did a terrific job. We weren’t sure what we wanted to do, and she came up with a great plan. They’re very hard workers who coordinate perfectly with one another and there is no wasted effort. They were fun to watch. We’re very happy with the results and all the plantings are doing well. She also provided care instructions for all of our new plants. Highly recommend.

**★★★★★ — Edward Fuller, Oct. 2022**

> Aureli Landscaping and Custom Stone is an excellent company to work with! They had a lot of suggestions, none of which I felt pressured to take, but I did end up using every one of them! They worked with me on terracing my hill, putting in a retaining wall, planting flowers, putting in lights, and a watering system!
> We are all ready talking about the next project I want them to do in my yard! They are fantastic!

**★★★★★ — Patricia Larrabee, Oct. 2022**

> MaryLynn and her team came to our office and redid the exterior landscaping with a gorgeous design which has filled in beautiful - great choice of color and blend of perennials and cedar shrubbery that look fantastic. We've gotten lots of compliments on the area! thanks so much for your hardwork!

**Comment from Aureli Landscaping & Custom Stone Work:**

> Thank you for your compliments. I truly enjoyed creating a landscaping that not only enhanced your building but brought in to reality the welcoming feeling upon arrival of The Lauelton Building.

**★★★★★ — Bill & Marilyn, Oct. 2022**

> We first discovered Aureli Landscaping when our daughter engaged MaryLynn and Yancee to landscape her yard.  It involved plantings, a fence and a stone patio.   We were so impressed with the work they did that we asked them to landscape our property.  This involved removal of 3 trees and 18 overgrown bushes, before they could begin rebuilding the landscape.   We were impressed with the energy they put into the project, finishing the majority of the work in a week.  We are very satisfied with their work, the selection of plantings and the overall appearance of the finished product. We have received many compliments from neighbors and individuals walking past our home.  Upon completion of our project, our son was so impressed with the work done, for both us and our daughter, he  contracted Aureli Landscaping to landscape his property which included a substantial amount of stone work.  I can't provide a better recommendation for Aureli Landscaping and Custom Stone Work then to note the chain of family members using their services.

**Comment from Aureli Landscaping & Custom Stone Work:**

> Bill and Marilyn, I am so happy to hear of the enjoyment that our work has given to not only your family but everyone who see it. Thank you all for giving us the opportunity to share our creativity with you. MaryLynn & Yancee

**★★★★★ — Gary, June 2020**

> MaryLynn was great to work with.  She is experienced, responsive and does great work.  I used Aureli for modification and improvement of mulch beds around my house.  They have performed work for several of my neighbors as well.  Highly recommend.

**Comment from Aureli Landscaping & Custom Stone Work:**

> Thank you Gary for the wonderful review. It was a pleasure working for you.

**★★★★★ — Frank & Kelly Cannizzaro, June 2020**

> We began our relationship with Aureli Landscaping by hiring them to do call and spring cleanup. They did a spectacular job and were very thorough. This year we also asked them to help us transform an old outdated and overgrown area in our yard. The transformation was incredible and is designed to get better every year. The plant choices were perfect and the work was done quickly and with great attention to detail. Clean up was complete.Marylynn and Yancee are highly skilled at their craft. We would heartily recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful result at a fair price.

**Comment from Aureli Landscaping & Custom Stone Work:**

> Thank you for the wonderful review. It was pleasure working you both. Enjoy your new landscaping.

**★★★★★ — Kathy O'Shea, April 2020**

> Marylynn and Yancie are fabulous--a pleasure to work with, creative, willing to stay within your budget.  I heartily endorse them and the work they do and look forward to working with them again soon.

**★★★★★ — Marshall Kurfiss, June 2019**

> Mary Lynn listened well to what sort of perennial garden we wanted to have around a flag pole planting,    We quite liked her initial proposal of red, white and blue long flowering perennials.   She did adapt the design making it a bit less dense to allow for maturity of the perennials.  She and Yantze did a very nice job of planting and mulching and provided a artfully done stone walkway to access the flag pole.   The result was just what we wanted and more at a reasonable price

**Comment from Aureli Landscaping & Custom Stone Work:**

> Thank you for the review. It was a pleasure working with the two of you on your project.

**★★★★★ — Deborah Lynch, May 2019**

> I couldn't have been happier with my front yard. It's small but I wanted something beautiful and within my budget and Aureli surely delivered. It turned out wonderful!!!! I would recommend them again and again!!!

**★★★★ — lama2mama, May 2019**

> Did everything I asked them to and were reasonably priced.  I would hire them again.  They always returned my calls.

**★★★★★ — HU-708221330, May 2019**

> I mainly wanted my out of control flowerbed in the front yard to be beautified with plants that required minimal upkeep. Aureli Landscaping did that and more. They worked with me regarding the financial aspect and I am quite pleased with the experience I had with them.

**★★★★★ — Claire Cimino, Aug. 2018**

> Mary Lynn's design was everything we envisioned plus she added so much more. Her crew did a fantastic job punctual near courteous a real pleasure to work with could not ask for more.

**★★★★★ — yancee ash, June 2017**

> MaryLynn took my vision and transformed my yard into a gorgeous Oasis that is amazing and enjoyed by all family and friends. My wife especially loves that it is low maintenance. MaryLynn chose perfect plants and design from the blue stone walkway, patio, dry stacked stone  pillars  and walls to the fire pit. We will continue to recommend and rehire Aureli Landscsping & Custom Stone Work.

**★★★★★ — mark7980, April 2016**

> Ms. Aureli was amazing to work with.  She cleaned up my incredibly messy gardens and reworked everything in my yard.

**★★★★★ — cmjpilato, April 2016**

> I live in a park like setting and couldn't be more impressed by the improvement and overall results that MaryLynn has accomplished. I now have had a number of people stop by to ask me about my gardens.  Prompt, professional and resonably priced, I could not have hired a better architect for the job.

**★★★★★ — Sophie, March 2016**

> Marylynn has really transformed my home. She completely went above and beyond my expectations! My gardens and backyard living space are now ready for gathers of family and friends. She listened and understood my wants and needs. And she also had a good eye for our price range.
