I used Duke Scapes for another job very well done! We had a dead tree leaning heavily towards the fence and pool. Justin & crew did a perfect job of dropping the tree in the opposite direction into the woods without a single branch or twig coming down in the yard.
I gladly recommend Duke Scape to anyone needing their line of services — any job, large or small will be handled in an expert and friendly way.

We had a fantastic experience with Duke Scapes. Justin and Clarissa were both incredibly professional, communicative, and easy to work with. They put in a tidy but spacious gravel driveway that perfectly sets up the space for our new shed, *after* taking the time to get the appropriate clearance and licensing from our town. This required 2 separate visits to town meetings (wetlands considerations), and they did all the leg work for us.
Their main focus is on commercial landscaping, which means they don’t do yard maintenance. If you need a larger landscaping project done that requires some heavy equipment, you shouldn’t hesitate to see if they’re available to do it for you.
Highly recommend them if you’re looking for honest, skilled landscapers who treat your property like their own.

Land Clearing, Stump Removal and Tree Work, Duke Scapes has been great to work with. A Family ran business that understands scheduling and life difficulties. They came in and quoted us for Land Clearing, Fill, and Seed. They have truly made a huge difference already and they are not even done yet. The pictures do not do this project justice. We look forward to the Spring after the thaw to really appreciate our new yards full potential. Thank you Justin and Clarissa and all that worked with Duke Scapes for the great tree and boulder removal and land clearing work.

I absolutely am thrilled with the work Duke Scapes has provided. They provide quality work, are reasonably priced, trustworthy, and just really nice! I started using them for lawn maintenance, they finish every last detail with keeping the yard in perfect condition. Then I asked for some help with installing some flower beds. They asked a ton of questions, because I was so unsure where to start. They were so thorough and helpful getting my flower beds going for me. Then! My favorite part! They installed a fire pit. This fire pit was meticulously set up. They went over the better and safer locations for placement, which was smart. They helped with visual cues for sizing, even placing seating to show exactly what it would feel like. They answered so many questions about what products to use and why this was better then that. They brought different products to show they would look placed in my yard. The attention to detail can not be beat! They thought of things I never even considered. They are hands down the most thoughtful, and hard working company I know. They really put the customer first. You will not be disappointed in their work or their work ethic!!
