We had a new addition and a wedding last summer at our home. We interviewed many landscapers and choose John at Scenic Landscaping for his creativity and design. Scenic Landscaping installed walkways, a patio, irrigation, lighting and many plantings.  We were thoroughly pleased with the results. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for the day of the wedding. Everyone raved about our gardens thanks to John!

We've used Scenic Landscaping for over ten years and have always been thrilled with the way that our property has been maintained and enhanced year after year.  The first year that we entrusted Scenic to what we thought was our magnificent property we were immediately delighted with beautiful plantings that still manage to take our breath away each spring. Our grass trees and shrubs have been maintained consistently each year despite some unanticipated weather conditions.  There is never a problem that Scenic can't solve and they are always available with cost effective ideas to enhance our property.  All of the workers are extremely pleasant and willing to work around our needs and requests. They only get better as the years go by...

As part of a recent home renovation, we needed to put in all new landscaping.  The architectural firm we were working with had a landscaped specialist on staff who prepared a detailed plan for the property.  After requesting proposals from three landscape firms, we decided to hire John Desjardins and Scenic Landscape, Inc.  The main reason for choosing Scenic was John’s time and effort spent reviewing the plan and offering suggestions on what might work better and ways to save money.  John was very involved in every step of the process and his crew was very respectful and hardworking.  They installed a pool patio, walkways, a garden patio, walls, lighting, drainage, irrigation, a new lawn and multiple plantings throughout the entire property. We were extremely pleased with the outcome and have received numerous compliments.   We appreciated John’s sincere interest in complimenting our new home with a beautiful landscape and highly recommend his services to anyone who asks.

It has been a pleasure to have had Scenic Landscaping as our partner for the past 15 years, during this time John and his team has had a dramatic affect on how the grounds of our facility look.

During the spring through fall months, the Scenic crew does an immaculate job of maintaining the lawn ensuring that the grounds are kept in pristine condition. John makes regular visits to inspect his crews work and will make recommendations on improvements such as flowers, mulch, etc.  No job is too small.

Scenic’s most important job for us has been in the winter months. Due to the nature of our business, we make deliveries throughout New England and not having trucks leave our facility due to snow and ice is not an option. I can honestly say in 15 years we have never had a truck fail to depart this facility for snow or ice, and that is all due to the dedication and hours spent ensuring our grounds are clear of snow and ice.

I could go on and give you many more examples of why partnering with Scenic has been beneficial and a pleasure for Cardinal Health, what I will say is that Scenic’s service, dedication and competitive pricing put’s them ahead of their competition.

In spring of 2007, I hired John Desjardins of Scenic Landscape Inc. to maintain our new landscape installation at 84 West St. Beverly Farms. After 3 years, and 3 other services that failed to deliver, John rose above our expectation. To say we were pleased with his work would be an understatement.

It is very refreshing these days to find someone who takes pride in their work and doing it correctly. As well as being responsible, courteous, knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and just plain "good people". John and his crew are all of these and more.

You would be hard pressed to find anyone to top the quality of their work. And I can happily and freely state that I would not hesitate to recommend them without any reservations what-so-ever.

I have used several landscaping services over the years to ensure our yard is kept in top condition. I have been using Scenic Landscaping for the past five years. I will be the first to say that I am a very demanding perfectionist regarding the quality of work and Scenic Landscaping has always done an outstanding job for me in all aspects from spring clean-up, weekly lawn maintenance, trimming and pruning shrubs, mulching and edging beds, aerating the lawn and fall clean-up along with other services they provide including emergency snow removal this past year. 

John Desjardins and his crew have always been very responsive in getting back to me with any special requests and making time to be there to go above and beyond. 

I would highly recommend Scenic Landscaping as being the BEST on the North Shore and am proud to recommend them.

This is a letter of recommendation for Scenic Landscaping of Beverly, Mass.
We are a 24 unit – in 12 duplex units – luxury condominium on approximately five acres of well landscaped land. Scenic has been our landscaper/snow plow company since 11/09.  In two winters of snow plowing/removal (including 3 back to back storms of over 18 inches each in 2011) they have performed exceptionally.  They have also performed our landscaping, including shrub and sprinkler maintenance during the 2010 season.  Again, their performance was exceptional.  Visitors frequently comment on how nice the landscaping looks. John’s employees are always responsive, pleasant and polite.  John himself is readily available.  We recommend him highly.

We have used the services of Scenic Landscaping for approximately 18 years.  They are very professional and have a great crew.  Everything is done in a timely fashion and no request is too much for them to handle.  It's a pleasure dealing with a landscaping company that gets the job done right.

Scenic Landscaping has been caring for my lawn since 1985. John has been a perfectionist in every aspect of lawn care.

He is very responsive and respectful as all his people are to my requests and will follow-up to make sure my needs are satisfied.

Simply put-- John and his people care. The way my lawn looks is very important to me, and John makes sure that it is well groomed. I would never think of having any other lawn service.

Scenic Landscaping is not just another lawn service. John Desjardin was just a young man when he first started landscaping my place. He's always gone out of his way both figuratively and literally to accommodate us — by doing superior work, by scheduling us on a day that fit our schedule rather than his, and by becoming a lifelong friend whom I can count on always, rain or shine. I've lived in my home my home since 1973 and take great pride in our grounds — including extensive English rock gardens, stone walls and evergreen trees all of which I built and planted myself. My wife says I have rocks in my head. John Desjardin agrees. That's why he does everything I ask of him without complaint. His crew does as well. I always look forward to hearing the buzz of their mowers and blowers as they come down the driveway. And I always leave them a can of cold soda to show our appreciation for the great work they do.

Since the 1990s, Scenic Landscape appears faithfully every week to attend to our Spring, Summer & Fall landscaping maintenance.  Recently we decided to update our front yard & walkway. John, along with his dependable staff,  professionally  re-designed & installed our  new front yard including all landscaping, granite walkway &  stone retaining wall.  Don & I are very satisfied with the quality of the work. Most notable to us is the staff showed up promptly every day to do the work & completed the job on time, according to our budget. 

 As a longtime local realtor on the North Shore, Scenic Landscape has been included in my Business Directory as a company I do highly recommend to my clients because I know they are attentive to their customers & will get the job done.

Scenic Landscaping, Inc. surely helped us to sell our last home.  The back yard was total ledge, large rocks and a lot of dirt.  Their landscape design efforts improved the layout and landscaping so much, it became one of our key selling points.

Working with John Desjardins and his Scenic team was such a great experience, that we hired them to do work at our new house, too!  Their crews are friendly, professional and extremely skilled, and we know we’re always in good hands.  We’d recommend them to anyone (we already have).

I just wanted to say thanks to John and his crew from Scenic Landscaping. The work performed at my home (brick walkway) was excellent and I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a quality landscaping job done! I have continued to use their service for spring cleanups and will call on them for future projects.

My wife and I would like to compliment Scenic Landscaping for 20 years of highly professional, yet personal service of our property.  This includes lawn maintenance, planting of shrubbery, seasonal clean-ups, installation of an irrigation system, trimming, mulching, etc, etc. Our property has been a standard for the neighborhood over the years.

We do not hesitate to highly recommend Scenic Landscaping and their personnel to provide for your lawn and property requirements.

"We hired Scenic Landscaping to install an irrigation system on our property.  It was a challenging task due to the amount of ledge involved.  John and his crew were courteous, fair, efficient, thorough and executed the task without incident. 

After a couple of years, we hit a sprinkler head with the lawnmower and John responded immediately to replace the head, and they're like clockwork with the seasonal service required for the system.  It's so nice in today's world to find responsiveness and service like theirs!

We highly recommend Scenic Landscaping!

As a potential customer, Scenic Landscape asked us what we wanted in an irrigation system for our yard.  They presented us with a plan, explained the equipment they use and gave us a fair price for the project.  The work was completed on time and if a problem occurs, John is there to help you.  I strongly recommend the fall closing process done by Scenic Landscape to avoid any spring start-up problems.

I was quite pleased with the quality of work produced by Scenic Landscaping. They were attentive to my needs and added consultative support that improved the eventual quality and curb appeal of my new granite steps, walkway and new lawn.

We’ve known John Desjardins and his company, Scenic Landscaping, for approximately 15 years when he started cutting our rather large lawn.  Given his level of professionalism, we soon asked John to handle many more landscaping issues at our house, from spring and fall cleanups; moving, trimming, and planting bushes and hedges; seeding, aerating, fertilizing our lawn; adding stones as needed to that portion of our driveway; replacing, adding, and moving sprinkler heads and repairing our underground irrigation hoses as needed; and just about anything else relating to the care of our lawn and landscaping.  In addition to being a good, honest and fair guy, he’s always been very responsive to our landscaping needs. 

If you’ve just moved in, or have had issues arise with your current landscaping company, we’d highly recommend John and his company.

After many years of trying to find a reputable and competent landscaping company Scenic Landscaping was recommended to me by a professional in the tree service business. I was impressed with their first spring clean up at our condo complex. We have 65 townhouse condominiums on over 60 acres of land and for the first time I was receiving compliments from the homeowners about how good and professional the new landscaping crew was.

John DesJardins, principal of Scenic Landscape, has been able to work within the constraints of our annual budget and advised us on how to maximize our dollars. Needless to say the property has never looked better.

My experience with Scenic has been wonderful. Their weekly service is top notch. The teams are very professional and extremely reliable. The many projects we've done with them have also exceeded our expectations. John has a great eye for design and works with you to refine the idea. With high standards of quality and attention to detail, the results are always better than imagined.
