> Kevin from Landscape Locators was fabulous to work with from start to finish! Amy Belt recommended him to us. He gave us great advice on how to work within our budget but also make the most out of our project. He helped us figure out what needed to be cut and also what was best for added value. He checked in with us throughout our the project and also answered any questions we had. We picked Ralph Centolella as our contractor who was fabulous. Highly recommend Kevin and Ralph!

**★★★★★ — peacockmama, Feb. 2025**

> We had such a great experience with Ralph Centolella Landscaping. I posted previously but now have photos to share. We originally used Landscape Locators and worked with Andrew to find the contractor that would be right for us. It was such a hassle free process. That process led us to Ralph after we reviewed a few bids. We are so happy with our choice. Previous post: We are currently in a project where we are adding a covered porch in the front yard and new hardscaping, grass and plants. We have requested some additional work and changed our mind on a few things and Ralph and his crew have been wonderful. His customer service has been outstanding and we are so happy to be working with him. I look forward to posting pictures once the job is complete

> Thank goodness for Landscape Locators. We've done numerous projects for our home in RSM, including a pool installation, and the worst part of the project is finding a good contractor. We wanted to add entry steps and replace grass with a front courtyard, as well as replace the concrete around our pool in the back. After two failed attempts on our own, I contacted Landscape Locators. Andrew was very responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and made the process incredibly simple. I 100% recommend them and would not fathom doing an outdoor project again without them. After conversation and measurement, we had three vetted bids within a week. We were walked through each of the bids, and selected Ralph as the contractor who best met our needs. Ralph and his team did a fantastic job. It took me multiple attempts to select the right materials for my front and backyard hardscape. Ralph was very patient and took the time to work with us on the various samples. We ended up selecting concrete pavers for the front and travertine for the back. We also added landscape lighting and drip irrigation in our new planters. Construction was stutter stop due to the rain, but once the weather cleared, Ralph's team was onsite and working hard. They were polite, showed up on time, and worked when promised. I selected my plants from Ralph's recommended nursery, which gave me the chance to pick exactly what I wanted. And when it came to the finishing touches, Ralph made sure I was completely satisfied with the end product. We're thrilled with our new yard!

**★★★★★ — Katie H., Feb. 2025**

> Working with Andrew and Jesse was so easy. Andrew let us know with the size and scale of our project, his contractor Jesse would be the best fit. We were so happy with Jesse and his team. They were quick, efficient, timely, and friendly. We are so happy with the results.

**★★★★★ — Heather, Feb. 2025**

> I have only AMAZING things to say about my experience with my backyard renovation. I found Landscape locators (Kevin Bussell) who was AWESOME & so helpful through my designer and Working with him made my project so much easier than expected. He was so kind, organized, communicative, straight forward, helpful, and accommodating. The quality of my project was TOP TIER! I am so happy with the way it turned out. I got such an amazing value! I would HIGHLY recommend Landscape Locators to anyone doing a landscape project!

**★★★★★ — Rachel Mayfield, Feb. 2025**

> We used Landscape Locators to help us find a contractor for our backyard project. While we have a small yard, the project scope was pretty big and we wanted it done right. As everyone knows contractors can be hit or miss, we reached out to LL since there was no cost to us and it seemed worth taking a chance on. Kevin was fantastic. He was easy to communicate with and very responsive. He set up meetings during my kid's nap time and even came to present the proposals in the evening (8pm!) after the kids were asleep so we could be fully engaged in the conversation. Before even bringing the bids, he could walk us through our landscape designers' plans and give his informed opinion on what alternate options would be if we wanted to reduce our expenses while not compromising on the overall design. The most valuable part of his service was the insights he shared about the contractors. So not only did you get bids back, but he highlighted their strengths and potential watch-outs. He is truly a landscaping contractor matchmaker. He realized my husband and I valued communication and organization and he highlighted which of the options he proposed also shared those strengths. He was right. The contractor he recommended was amazing to work with. Organized, punctual, talented .. truly a unicorn of contractors. A nice touch is that Kevin swings by a few times during the project. He doesn't just connect you and leave. He checked in, made sure we were happy, and even gave us some guidance on dealing with some frustrations on a part of the project that was outside his scope. I hands-down recommend Landscape Locators and wouldn't hesitate to use them again

**★★★★★ — HU-972893611, Feb. 2025**

> We recently used Landscape Locators to help us find a landscape contractor for a project at our home. Kevin met with us to discuss our budget and timeframe, to see our property and to give us some creative ideas. Kevin is very personable, knowledgeable about landscaping, and a pleasure to deal with. He gave us ideas that we had not considered, but when we decided to keep the project simpler, he never pushed us to increase our budget or to complicate the plan. He took the time to understand what we wanted and needed, and he worked to fit the plan to our personal needs. Then he bid out our project to three landscapers, discussed the bids with us and introduced us to the one we chose. Throughout the project, Kevin stopped by to check on the progress, provided us with information and interceded with the contractor when needed. We highly recommend Landscape Locators to help you find your way through the maze of landscaping contractors.

**★★★★★ — Kristina Hanrahan, Feb. 2025**

> We worked with Kevin at Landscape Locators for our backyard project and we could not be happier! I was so overwhelmed trying to do my own research to find the right landscape company, and I really did not know where to start. Kevin came out to meet with us and was a joy to be around. He sat with us and took the time to learn about our goals, budget and priorities for our project. He then explained his process to us and made us feel comfortable with the fact that he would find us the perfect fit landscape company. He also told us that he would also stay involved throughout the project. He certainly delivered on all of his promises! We chose to work with Jacob at Form and Focus Landscaping and we were absolutely thrilled with their work ethic and the quality of work. They showed up on time, were very polite, and worked so efficiently. In fact, they completed our project in half the amount of time that they originally quoted us! We were also able to stay aligned to our initial budget thanks to Kevin setting us up with the right team. Kevin stopped in to check on the status of the project throughout construction as promised, and he followed up with us upon completion as well to make sure that we were happy with the outcome. Landscape Locators should be your first phone call for any projects that you have!

**★★★★★ — HU-584475353, Feb. 2025**

> Highly recommend Landscape Locators. I had a fairly large backyard remodel and didn't know how to go about getting bids etc. Kevin came to my house and got to know my needs and expectations of the project. He was very thorough and came back with 3 bids. Luckily he connected me with an Amazing landscape contractor, Ralph Centolella! Ralph was the perfect fit for me and my large backyard endeavor. He has been here every day to check in. He has been more than patient with me as I decided to change from my original design to add more hard scape, change plants etc. Whatever I ask for Ralph just smiles and says "whatever you want". I know he's trustworthy and truly cares. His work team is fabulous. They have all been kind, fast working and considerate. And they too have been patient with my changes. Ralph has a great eye for design and is truly committed to arriving at a beautiful finished product. I honestly feel like I'm treated as a member of his family. You will be in good hands with Ralph Centolella!

**★★★★★ — Tris J, Feb. 2025**

> 5 stars was the easy choice, as we could not be happier with Kevin from Landscape Locators. The process of getting moving forward with quotes for our job was super quick and very thorough. Kevin took time to really find out what we wanted done, and then found us 3 different contractors to offer us quotes for the entire job. I'd already contacted 2 concrete contractors from Google and Yelp and I never ended up getting an appointment or quotes from either one, as they were too busy to call back. I hadn't gotten to start the process of looking for a fence company yet, but from a past experience, I can tell you they are also a pain to get quotes from. The time Landscape Locators saved me was invaluable. One call got Kevin over to my house. He did EVERYTHING from that point forward. The crews that did the demolition, put up new fencing, installed pavers and poured concrete were clean, fast and professional. We really had a great experience and would not hesitate to call Kevin again in the future. Our good friends used Landscape Locators awhile back and highly recommended them to us for our job. I'm so glad they did.
