Sitescapes Landscape Design Inc.

Neil completely re-designed our backyard. The result is fantastic! He did the job with his 4 sons helping. They worked very efficiently, everything was on-time and on-budget. Highly recommended.

I hired Neil Markey to update my home's landscaping in 2020 and was blown away by the transformation. The outdated look I had grown to despise was replaced with a beautiful, modern design that made me proud to come home. Neil is a true master of his craft, and his attention to detail and creativity are unmatched. In 2022, Neil returned to replace an old, rotting wood deck with two new patios and a bluestone stoop landing, and the result is stunning. My backyard now looks like a country club, with gorgeous plantings and a welcoming outdoor space perfect for entertaining. Working with Neil is a pleasure - he is professional, knowledgeable, and has an eye for design that is truly impressive. I cannot recommend him enough for anyone looking to update their outdoor space. Thank you, Neil, for all of your hard work and dedication!

I had a decent budget to get a new bluestone patio installed, along with the rest of my back yard landscaped. I had an idea of what I wanted, but Niel (the owner) showed me another idea that worked out way better. I was blown away on the finished design, nothing I would've imagined, but I am in love with it. The crew was great and on time. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get work done, also look forward to Sitescapes doing more work for me. It looks better each year as the plants fill in. Neil has a gift to make the most of a small space. My yard was small, but after it was finished, it appeared much larger.

I found Neil (Sitescapes) on Houzz based upon all his positive reviews. From our first meeting we knew he would be able to restructure our property to make it what we wanted. We purchased a house that sits on a cliff with very little livable outdoor space. Neil took our property and designed several outdoor spaces with plenty of areas to enjoy. He had a vision for our property that no one else had. He designed all our hardscape, including a multi level angular deck and all our landscaping. Neil and his crew are an absolute pleasure to work with. Completely responsive to all our questions and always available. It’s rare to find a crew of this caliber. They take great pride in their work and it shows in their meticulous attention to detail. We are overwhelmed with how they transformed our property. It’s very hard to find someone who will work on your property and treat it like it’s their own. Sitescapes does just that.

I can't say enough positive things about this company, its owner and staff. Their design work is imaginative, creative, highly functional and both professionally and flawlessly implemented. Their skilled staff takes pride in their individual and collective contribution to each project, treating the property they're working on with respect as if it were their own. I've been thrilled with their workmanship and recommend Sitescapes Landscape Design, Inc. without reservation. Top shelf company!!!

We met with Neil in 2020 with a rough idea in what we wanted for our yard. His hand-drawn plans completely surprised us and we knew we’d let him take the reigns and execute his vision without too many questions. Over the next year, Neil and his boys completely transformed our overgrown, poorly-drained backyard into a design we couldn’t have executed both alone, or with another company. His attention to detail, perfectionism, and visions are what made us so grateful we decided to use Sitescapes. There’s a true difference when you work with a landscaper and general contractor, versus a formally trained landscape architect, and artist. If you want your home’s outdoor living space to *not* look like a cookie-cutter yard, definitely call Neil. We are so happy. ~ Carrie and Chris Stanley

I have depended on Neil and his expertise for a number of landscape projects over the last 20 years with two different properties (Setauket and Mount Sinai). This last summer Neil was able to totally transform our new home's overgrown backyard and create a beautiful and functional landscape, all within a reasonable budget. He is that rare combo of being both a creative designer, and hands-on worker. I highly recommend Neil for projects big and small.

Frank and I highly recommend Neil he is awesome! We love our beautiful Wall! Neil is awesome quality and professional work!

Our experience with Sitescapes was outstanding. From design through completion of the project and every step in between, I was confident that Neil was doing both what was best for our house and our budget. I would recommend Sitescapes to anyone looking for landscape and driveway work without question.

I have used Sitescapes twice in the past 8 months...they are amazing! Neil is so talented and has great ideas...he and his team really transformed my backyard. I generally don’t use the word flawless, but both times Sitescapes was absolutely flawless. Highly recommend!

Amazing vision and execution! Sitescapes transformed our backyard. Professional, responsive and reliable. Budget even came in below estimate. Results exceeded expectations.

I was really at a loss as far as what to do with our property. After putting a pool in last summer, the yard was all dug up and just looked terrible. I knew we had to do something but I wasn't sure what. After reading other reviews, I gave Neil a call. He responded immediately and was at our house an hour later to walk around with us. He told us what we needed to hear about issues with the layout and placement of certain things in our yard, like some oddly placed trees, the swing set, some rocks. He offered a few different suggestions in different price ranges, giving us enough options to find something that fit our budget. And even though our official completion date wasn't listed until April 1, he promised he would do what he could to get to us as soon as possible. And within 3 days, he and his crew showed up. They were fast, clean, and efficient and we are thrilled with the results! It's amazing quickly Neil was able to so easily identify the trouble spots and fix them to our satisfaction. We will definitely be using Neil and Sitescapes Land Design again, next time for the front yard!

I had a very positive experience with Neil and his team. I had a full revamp of my yard, all new plantings, stone work, new grass, basically everything. Neil came up with some great ideas, was transparent around what it would cost for different ideas, and made it easy to understand for someone who isn't in the landscaping architecture business. Also, Neil was on-site every day doing the work with his team. He was always available to answer questions and gave me update phone calls throughout the project. His crew was courteous and clean, and he left the place spotless.

Neil and his crew have, over the years, transformed our yard into a beautiful and lush paradise. His design elements and attention to detail are unmatched. They are always professional, get the job done in a timely fashion, and price is reasonable when compared to others. Neal is knowledgeable, experienced and confident about his work and it shines through in the end product. It was truly a pleasure to work with this company.

Our back yard was a terrible, overgrown mess. Neil and his team have completely transformed our space into something we love and will enjoy for years to come. What makes Neil especially good is his knowledge of trees, shrubs, and plants. He was able to identify and transplant many beautiful plants we didn't even know we had. His knowledge also enabled him to add things we would not have thought of ourselves. We are very happy.

Neil Markey of Sitescapes is spectacular. His ability to envision a landscape and then execute his design is flawless. He transformed our overgrown and outdated yard into a masterpiece rivaling that of a luxury resort. Neil and his spectacular team work incredibly hard and are highly professional. We could not be happier with the result. I give him my highest recommendation.

Neil landscaped both our front and back yard spaces, six and five years ago respectively. They both came out great and on budget. Neil is a brilliant designer and a gifted and meticulous craftsman. Couldn't be happier with the results we got.

Neil Markey is a landscaping savant who came into our lives and brought all our ideas to life. First project was our patio/backyard in which he transformed a mess into our private oasis last year in August of 2018.Loved it so much brought him back this year to do front retaining wall and flower bed which came out so well we get compliments all the time.We are in process of bringing him back for final project, Neil is a great hands on type of worker who is always on time and available whenever any questions or changes come up during project.Me and my wife are so Happy we met him and HIGHLY recommend him if you want more than just a landscaper.

Neil Markey of Sitescapes is one of a kind. He is the designer and is 100% on the project doing the construction.

Neil Markey did an amazing job of designing the landscaping and patio for our backyard renovation after removing our pool and deck. He and his workers were tireless in their work throughout an extremely hot and humid month. Our yard is like our own private park!!!

Looking to transform your yard? To work with somebody creative and imaginative who then executes flawlessly? Then look no further than Sitescapes. Neil helped us re-imagine our outdoor space with creative ideas that extended our house naturally into the backyard. He was onsite the entire time working alongside a professional and hardworking crew. Neil was responsive to our feedback and appropriately engaged with us to tweak the design while the work was being done. Neil helped turn an eyesore in an overgrown natural pond on the property into a focal point and asset. The property was reshaped and regraded, several new plantings, sod and outdoor lighting. Wow! Neil is clearly proud of what he does and it showed in the final product which we are just beginning to enjoy. While the yard looks gorgeous now, we can't wait to see its full potential when everything grows in in a few years. We highly recommend Neil and Sitescapes.

The owner of Sitescapes designed and executed a significant transformation to our property in Old Field. My husband and I had interviewed multiple firms before deciding on Neil the owner of Sitescapes. His design skill, oversite to every phase of the project and consistent follow up are impeccable. Highly recommend his firm.

If you are looking to transform your Landscaping Fantasy into Reality, you must contact Neil Markey, Designer/Owner of Sitescapes Landscape Design. Neil’s expertise in Landscape Architecture, exceptional knowledge base of Ornamental Horticulture, and extraordinary foresight for the future, transformed our tired old backyard into a distinctive park like setting to enjoy for years to come. Our renovation from design thru installation was handled with the utmost professionalism. While working on our project, Neil communicated and fulfilled his expectations daily; guiding and working alongside his skilled crew, we were never disappointed. Sitescapes completed our project on time creating an individual charm to our backyard that went well beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend Sitescapes for all your Landscaping Designs.

Neil (Sitescapes) has a true passion for his craft. From design inception to creative result we couldn't have been happier. A hands on professional.

I hired Neil to renovate an old existing backyard landscape that was overgrown and challenging due to space and the incline of the terrain. He showed up on time. Made changes along the way that improved the original design and was respectful of our neighbors during the construction phase. The yard looked amazing when it was finished. There was an issue with the health of some of the plants afterwards but otherwise he did a nice job.

Very hard-working, diligent, reliable and punctual. Creative and unique design ideas. We are extremely pleased with the end result and would highly recommend Sitescapes.

Neil Markey performed a complete backyard transformation for us. From the consultation stage through completion, we could not have been happier with Sitescapes. Neil's vision for how to create a pleasing, stunning, interactive landscape was beyond what we could have envisioned. Neil was ever present on the job, efficient, did a great deal of the work himself, was easy to contact and and is very talented. We give Neil our highest recommendation!

My association with Neil and his firm Sitescapes was a pleasure. Neil arrived to our first appointment on time and he provided me with a complete description of the elements that would be necessary to achieve my goal. All along the way he kept me posted on the progress of the job, as I was away at the time. He delivered as expected: a beautiful apron and cobblestone edge along my driveway. I could not be happier with the results and I will use him again in the future.

As a retiree, i am pretty tight with money, so interviewed six landscapers before hiring Sitescape. My husband and I, after much discussion--and hesitation, chose Sitescape for a number of reasons: 1. We looked at not only the pictures on its website, but also went to the work sites, both finished and in progress, and liked what we saw. We were particularly impressed that Neil was at the site most of the time, working with the crew. 2. All other contractors we interviewed would only upgrade the old stoop, walkway and driveway. Neil was the only one who would give the front yard a new and much more interesting look. 3. Although Sitescape was not the least expensive, but it was on a par with most of other landscapers and less expensive than some. Taking into the account of the design, we decided that it was the best deal. The result proved that we made the right decision. We have received many compliments from our neighbors. Actually two hired Sitescape after our job was finished. What impressed me most was that Neil went beyond what he was contracted to do in order to get the best result. A huge tree was cut down a few years ago at the site, but because the stump was grounded and covered with soil, neither we or Neil thought of it. As the work progressed, the roots, huge and deep, surfaced. Neil, operating the machine himself, excavated it without charging us extra. The same happened with the driveway above the ground level. The outer side border was supported by layers of wooden ties, beaten up and damaged at places. The agreement was that he would reinforce the ties by adding blocks from the inside. However, when it was revealed that the ties underneath were in bad shape, he removed them all and replaced with concrete blocks supported by tons of concrete. Now, we have a streamlined, clean border, matching the border on the other side. Neil is a nice guy, a gentle and sensitive soul in a strong and muscular body. All in all, it was a pleasant experience, money well spent.

Neil from Sitescapes entirely redesigned the front entry and driveway of our home. He did a spectacular job changing the entire relationship between our home and its landscape. Neil was on the job every day and finished the job in a very timely manner. Neighbors and friends cannot believe how beautiful and improved the property is. Many Thanks to Neil and his crew for an excellent job!

We love the new design Neil created for our backyard. We had been struggling with a slope, erosion, an old brick patio and minimal landscaping. Neil did a great job of designing a gracious walkway to our door, and a large brick patio surrounded by evergreens, perennials, varied design elements, and it has changed everything. We now use our patio as an outdoor room, and love every season of the colors and contrasts in the surrounding beds. He and his crew were dependable, courteous, and met all our expectations. Thanks, for all you did at our house.

Sitescapes stonework provided us with an outdoor living space we never dreamed possible. Neil is an enthusiastic and creative designer. Polite, professional and reliable.

Neil and his crew completely redesigned the front of our home, including the driveway. We can't say enough about the work that was done & the professionalism displayed by everyone involved. We often find Neil wandering around our property to make sure his work is flourishing! He definitely takes pride in what he does. We live in an older home which needed a complete landscaping overhaul & Neil accomplished this with his expertise. My husband & I are delighted with the results.

Neil's plan looked great on paper and even better in real life. He was able to transform our backyard from a total disaster (pool collapse) to a beautiful oasis. He was easy to work with and having him on site everyday certainly helped the process. My backyard is like a resort now thanks to sitescapes!

I have used Sitescapes for all of my landscape and landscape design for the last 10 years. The most recent project was in May of 2015. Neal Markey (owner - operator) is the most creative and dedicated professionals in the business. Everything is done right or he will personally fix it. He is completely hands on with his crew and does not cut corners with respect to quality (He cuts lots of corners circles and curves in his designs and rarely gives you boring rectangles unless that is what you ask for). His crew is very professional and experienced but friendly and helpful. When the job is done, there is never a mess. In fact they usually clean more stuff then they created! I highly recommend Sitescapes for your landscaping needs and will continue to use him for future projects.

Sitescapes Landscape Design provided a landscape plan that reflected the integrity of my home, specifically the age and style. The design included all the natural aspects of the property, as well as desired features. Mr. Markey's knowledge of the period my home was built and the surrounding properties was highly respected. I found Mr. Markey to be very professional and knowledgeable. His attention to detail and vision for enhancing a property is exceptional. He offered several budgetary options to complete the project, such as options for materials and installation. I will be completing the design in stages, some of which has been realized. I look forward to full completion and continued work with Sitescapes.

Changed my property in such a way that it basically changed my existence and how I interact with my property. Created enclosure, privacy and a series of spaces differentiated by use that makes walking from one area to another an experience. Each space has its purpose and feels separate but flows seamlessly from the next. A true artist and craftsman Neil is a force to be reckoned with. His creativity is unsurpassed and it was a joy watching his vision and mine come to fruition.

Neil of Sitescapes is more than a landscape architect; he's an artist. Because of this, he sees the whole picture and designs sites personally. He does NOT work from computerized templates; your yard will be his canvas. From the moment we first spoke three years ago, Neil aimed to design my backyard pond/garden site based on what I wanted, as well as the possibilities he saw. Both times I hired him, he was on the job site every step of the way, working side by side with his crew, handling big machinery and small. He also paid special attention along the way to logistics, like grading and drainage. His artistic ability is matched only by his skill in stone cutting. He knows and chooses quality materials and plants, and will do this whether you ask for formal gardens (as did a neighbor) or a more rustic, cottage look, which is what I requested. I first hired Neil in 2013. In a matter of days, he transformed my tired worn-out pool area, into my own personal private park. Where my pool had been, he centered a large free-form pond in front of a locust tree archway, completed it with an adult-size rough-hewed swing, and platform deck beneath. He balanced these with a hammock draped over a stone patio, steps down from another stone patio which replaced my old deck. The result is breathtaking. And just last week Neil completed a front-door granite patio, with step-down rock garden planting areas, and welcoming entryway of granite and stone. Once again, breathtaking. Overall, Neil takes pride in his craft, and is a good, honest, hard-working nice guy too. You can go get your other estimates, and perhaps you will choose something ordinary; OR you can choose Neil and have your space transformed into something beyond your imagination or expectation. I chose Sitescapes, and am more than pleased and grateful. We LOVE our outdoor space; it is now our pride and joy.

Neil and his crew did a great job. We have about 85 foot driveway from the street to a two car garage under the house. We had railroad ties retaining walls from the street down to the garage. Neil and his crew removed all the railroad ties and a couple of trees then resculpted the ground and brought in boulders to totally redesign the front landscaping of the property. He topped it off with a sculptured driveway of blacktop. He also built beautiful new steps and walk of large bluestone slate. We love the outcome of the project and also our friends are very impressed with the job. We even have had complete strangers stop to comment on how great the transformation is of the front of our property.

Whole property Landscape design and installation. Patios,waterfalls,complete plantings of trees, perennials, annuals and transplanting of some of the existing plantings,built in barbecue. Assistance with irrigation. Design and installation of lighting. Contractors knowledge was superior to others we interviewed. He has innovated designs and was able to translate into reality. He sweated every detail. He was precise. He comes back every year to maintain the work and also does yearly plantings. His attention to detail is remarkable and stands behind every piece of work. He visits to see how the property is evolving. I give my highest recommendation.

We hired Neil to redesign our patio area. From concept to completion, he was professional, knowledgeable and accommodating, all in addition to his talent as a designer. Neil is an artist whose medium is landscape design. When our schedule changed and we needed to postpone our project, Neil was understanding and flexible. Any time we were unsure about a part of the design, he listened to us carefully and either convinced us of his reasoning or worked with us to come up with an alternative that was pleasing to us without compromising his overall vision. Although our project was small for him (completed in less than a week), it was big to us and he always made us feel it was just as important to him as it was to us. Neil was recommended to us and we recommend him to anyone looking to create a work of art out of their yard. We look outside every day and thank him for a job so well done.

I have used Neil from Sitescapes several times. He responds quickly, is very creative aesthetically and price conscious. He works quickly, neatly with excellent results. I have recommended Sitescapes to others and have had him bid on a project for my church in 2014. His bid for the church was 1/2 the price of two other contractors with Sitescapes having superior design and materials. I have a landscape and patio renewal project coming up in 2016 at home and Sitescapes will be my choice. royseher@aol.com

Sitescapes completely landscaped and remedied site problems at my new home. Neil was receptive to my needs and budget and his artistic vision was spot on. The neighbors have been unanimously, strongly complimentary. Everything has been growing beautifully. It was done in 2 phases and Neil has always been responsive to questions. I'm very glad I employed Sitescapes.
