Frank and the Almost Perfect Landscaping crew did an amazing job landscaping our front and back yards. They spent time with us to figure out exactly how we wanted our yard to look, and they did an awesome job bringing it to life! They really have an eye for landscape design. Our yard looks incredible, it's just like we imagined. They also do a fantastic job of maintaining our yard all year so it looks clean and immaculate. But most important, they treat us like family. We can joke around or talk about life, and we can tell they genuinely care about us. Thanks, APL!!

Almost Perfect did a great job with cleaning up our overgrown backyard last year so we called Frank again for another project this fall. We wanted to get rid of the sloping small patch of front yard grass that was difficult to mow and annoying to maintain. Now we have a peaceful rock garden that matches the colors of our house and is minimal maintenance. It's going to look even better as the plants grow out in the future. As first time homeowners, it's a relief to have found Frank at Almost Perfect Landscaping. He's been doing this work for so long he will think about what plants to put in your yard in the middle of the night because he is just that hardcore about landscaping. He most likely will not draw up a diagram or fancy schematic for you because that's just not how his weird brain works, so you just have to trust him. Frank will not screw you over, his crew does good work, and your yard will look great!

Frank and his team transformed the front of our home with exceptional re-landscaping work. Frank was a pleasure to collaborate with, offering innovative design ideas that elevated the project. His team was diligent, efficient, and completed the work on schedule. I wouldn’t hesitate to call on Frank for any future landscaping projects.

I’ve been using Almost Perfect Landscaping for the past two years for lawn care and seasonal clean up. Frank and his team (including the office) are exceptional. Frank is always quick to respond to my questions/needs and his lawn care specialists are efficient and focused on the task at hand. Highly recommend.

My front yard was in need of some serious pruning and manicuring so I reached out to Frank. He came promptly to assess what needs to be done and gave us some suggestions as well. He was a pleasure to talk to and is really knowledgeable on the type of plants we had and their behaviors. A lot of the other landscapers i've spoken to tells me to just scrap the whole yard and start over but Frank had great ideas to preserve some of it which I was delighted about. His guys were quick too, within a few hours they've taken out 4 shrubs, manicured the others and even cleaned up. I can see my yard again! Thank you!

Almost Perfect Landscaping may as well be referred to as "Perfect Landscaping" but the "Almost" must have been added by the owner, Frank, because he is just so humble. From my first message to his office, all the way to the final handshake was pure pleasure and ease. I reached out to Almost Perfect Landscaping at the beginning of the summer asking for help with my lawn but got a "sorry we are fully booked". My thoughts? Weird! Who says that??? I then decided to call other companies, none of which seemed like they knew a grass blade from a weed so I decided to try and do the lawn reno myself. ..... Fast forward 3 months = Mid August: Of course my lawn looks like ---- so I try my luck again with Almost Perfect Landscaping and I get the wonderful response "this is a perfect time to reach out to us for what you need done, we'll have someone call you" Shortly after, I get a phone call from an energetic gentleman, Frank. He asked me what I am trying to accomplish, I give him a brief overview and he says he'll stop by within a day. Frank called me back with an understanding of my property and had recommendations ready. I hired Frank + Almost Perfect Landscaping and was extremely impressed and pleased with the outcome. No need to hire a Landscape Architect, this guy has great plant and tree selection recommendations. Work was done while I was at work all in 1 day for an unbelievably fair price. His work is worth every penny. Just look at the pictures, it's all there! If you hire Almost Perfect Landscaping you will not be disappointed

I honestly had one of the best experiences when it comes to landscaping with Frank and his Team. They responded to my inquiry very quickly. Frank personally came to my home to inspect and discuss the project that I wanted to do. He explained to me all the diff options and variables that we may encounter. He provided me with an estimate very quickly, very competitive prices. They then started the job in less than a week. The Team came (4 strong hardworking gentlemen) led by Martine I believe, who is a very intelligent guy himself. Martine measured like a champion and made me feel very comfortable. It poured for 1-2 hours during the job and the Team worked THROUGH THE STORM. Incredible. Sounded like they have a good time working together as well. I would recommend this company and Frank to anyone in my network. I will most likely use their services again. Almost Perfect Lanscaping will forever be remembered everytime I look out into the yard.

Frank and his team at Almost Perfect Landscaping did a great job on our project - we did a major home renovation last year that left us with no front yard. Franks team cleaned up the front yard - removed rocks, debris and some leftover construction material - leveled the ground and put down all new sod. They created a nice new garden design and planted some shrubs and flowers which gives great curb appeal. Just as important - Frank was very responsive to my initial request and all follow ups - he committed to getting the project done by the date I requested and came through. Thanks Frank!

I ve used them for several other small projects around the yard and have always been very pleased with the quality of work. I highly recommend.

Nothing but positive things to say regarding Frank and the Almost Perfect Landscaping crew. From the initial consultation to job completion, Frank was a pleasure to work with. He offered planting recommendations that fit into our budget and was very accommodating to our needs and aesthetic preferences. Knowing little to nothing about landscape design, it was refreshing to work with an experienced professional with a wealth of knowledge about plant varieties, growing/branching habits, susceptibilities to local wildlife, and plant placement/design concepts. Moreover, the Almost Perfect crew was a model of professionalism with the entire installation being completed in one day with impeccable clean-up afterwards! And it was 95 degrees plus outside. The final product (front, side, and backyard flower beds) was classic, neat, layered, and visually stunning--no longer the eyesore of the block! Couldnt be more pleased! :)

First, I usually dont write reviews, but I felt compelled to do so after my experience with APL. I reached out to Frank to do some work on my new homes backyard. Within a few hours of reaching out , he had contacted me and scheduled to come to my house (on a Saturday no less) to scope out the job. Frank was professional, friendly, and explained all my options to get the results I wanted. I was very impressed with his knowledge, and no pressure tactics. I was expecting a quote to be 4 to 5 times what he actually quoted me , and I was floored. Not only had he come in SO much under everyone else, he had 5 guys there 2 days later, and had the job 100% complete IN ONE DAY. I could not be more pleased. If you are looking to get some landscaping work done, do not hesitate to contact Frank and APL. He is cost effective, friendly , and fast! 100% Recommended.

Almost Perfect Landscaping took my yard from tragic to fantastic! As a first time home owner, I think I was overly ambitious and confident that I could take care of all the yard work and upkeep on my own. After a few years, my place went from looking bad, to just plain sad. I do like doing some parts of yard work. But some other parts I was out of my league. Thankfully, we found Frank and his team from Almost Perfect Landscaping. Frank was very fair with us and flexible and willing to do just what we wanted done, allowing me to still do the things for my yard that I enjoy doing. We did not feel pressured and Frank did not to try to sell us on something we didnt want done. He even gave me some tips and guidance about the yard work that I wanted to keep doing on my own. When his crew of guys came through, they did an incredible amount of work in just a few hours. Clearing away sad dying shrubs, planting new ones, trimming & cleaning up overgrown hedges, reshaping new borders & edges of the plant beds, laying down bags & bags of mulch, clearing away overgrown weeds, cutting the grass, and laying down fertilizer all in 1 day! And after the job was done, the clean up was spotless. You would not even think a crew of guys was even there earlier. If you live in Glen Rock, or around the region, I highly recommend Frank and his team at Almost Perfect Landscaping for any and all of your landscaping needs.

Frank, the owner, and his crew are exactly what they call themselves: almost perfect. And considering that no human being can be perfect, Frank is the best. Frank is very knowledgable, friendly and will work with you and your budget to get the job done. In our case the job was to clean chips, roto till, level, seed and top dress. We lost our backyard when we cut a tree and removed the roots. We received three quotes and chose to work with Frank although he was slightly more pricey than the lowest bidder because he seemed like he knew what he was doing and also the type of person who would keep his word. The company was almost perfect because on the last day the crew was held up by a previous job and arrived at our home several hours late. But we got two calls letting us know what the status was. He showed up eventually with twice the man power needed to make up for the lost time as well as tons of annuals for the yard to thank us for waiting. We loved the fact that Frank not only supervised but also got to work side by side with his crew! That said a lot about Franks professionalism and about his passion for what he does. So, the job got done and everybody was happy. Like everyone else who said Frank is their go-to landscaper, he is ours as well. We cant wait to see our new lawn. Thanks Frank! You are our landscaper hero.

We hired Frank and team to revive what had become an extremely cluttered and unwieldy backyard. Frank came to our home on a few occasions and talked us through some options. He provided us with an estimate that seemed more than fair and executed on the plan in a manner that exceeded our expectations. In addition to removing trees and shrubs, he also created a fenced space for our dog that we are very pleased with. The clean up was meticulous. I would recommend Almost Perfect because they offer great customer service and excellent work at a decent price.

I spoke with Frank on a Tuesday about clean up for a home I just purchased. And by Wednesday after noon, everything was complete! Martine from Almost Perfect came to consult with me about what needed to be done. I had a dead tree in the front yard, a diseased tree in the back yard and some wild rose bushes, dead plants and ivy that the seller didnt take care of before I purchased the home. Martine shared great ideas on how to clean up both yards, move a few bushes and create new flower beds - all while making sure to keeps the costs low as possible. Less than 24 hours later I had a beautiful front yard - and after the team cleared it out I was pleasantly surprised that my back yard was much larger than I realized. Martine also took the time to help me identify existing flowers planted in my yard and how to take care of them. Frank was very involved in the process as well and kept me informed of the next steps from the initial phone call and until after Martine and his crew left for the day. Thank you to everyone at Almost Perfect who helped. I look forward to working with Almost Perfect very soon!

Frank and his team do absolutely superb work. We had just moved into a new home and Frank came by to give an estimate. He did not push new/unnecessary business (Even suggested we hold off on major landscaping work to address more pressing non-landscape issues). We hired Almost Perfect to be our weekly landscaper. This year we were having a party and needed the backyard to be cleaned and mulched. Not only does it look great, Franks team did the work the same week we requested. Wherther the job is big or small Almost Perfect gets it right, and Frank and his wife are always extremely responsive to any inquiries.

Great communication with the owner, Frank, and we felt confident that he would do solid work even though this was our first time using him for such a large project. When he first came to our house, he knew he knew everything about every living thing in our yard. He gave us lots of advice and explained every step of the process. We had our entire backyard cleared of a mass amount of weeds, re-soiled, and reseeded. I would recommend!

Just cant say enough good things about Almost Perfect. Almost overnight our yard had become such an overgrown mess that we didnt know where to begin. Other landscapers had been discouraging because its a terraced, sloped, somewhat hard to access, property. They said they cant get their machines back there and it would be too expensive and labor intensive to do all the planting & weeding by hand, etc... Then I found Frank! He immediately saw how beautiful our yard could be and exactly how to go about achieving it. Hes really like an artist, landscape architect, horticulturist and good businessman all rolled into one because he transformed our yard in a mere two visits (and one trip to the nursery with my husband) for a very reasonable price, especially considering all the work that was involved. I cannot say enough good things about Almost Perfect. Its so nice to work with someone as knowledgeable and dedicated as Frank. Now my yard is beautiful. Thank you, Frank!

I just had a wonderful experience with Frank and his team at Almost Perfect Landscaping (including Courtney in the office and Martin in the field). Frank is a pleasure to work with - we had a big job on our property to remove English ivy and tree stumps that had been growing for about 40-50 years (due to negligence of previous owners). Almost Perfect did an amazing and very neat/organized work on the ivy and also aerated and seeded our entire property for a very reasonable price. Every other landscaper who quoted me insisted I needed to pay for a lot of topsoil in order to make our grass grow, but Frank and his team were able to make use of the soil I already had on my property without adding more (unnecessary) topsoil. I will continue to use him to maintain my property. He is extremely honest and did not try to upsell anything to me. I cant recommend Frank and his team enough!

Thanks to all the great review here, I also can have a great experience with The Almost Perfect. We recently cut 3 big trees in backyard. There are huge roots everywhere and ground was too hard to grow grass. Frank check the site and gave me reasonable estimate. But, instead of removing exposed roots, guys removed all roots in my backyard. There were more than 10 people in my backyard working together to finish it on time. It should be much more than estimated work!! But, Frank was man of the word and not doing this only for money. He has passion for his work and considering all the things from customers side. I will do all landscaping projects with Frank and recommend all my friends living in Bergen county. I really appreciate service from Almost Perfect.

He has brought our backyard back to life! What was once a root-filled grass-less yard is now transformed into land filled with luscious green grass my babies can run around in. Frank absolutely delivered what he promised and even more. He was transparent with his pricing and made no changes to the cost even after the project was far beyond what was imagined. Friendly, passionate, and trustworthy...I definitely recommend Frank and his crew to do any landscaping job you need done.

I recently moved to New Jersey and my front yard and back yard was a horrible mess. Moving from the Manhattan, I have no clue how to maintain the health of soil or grass. After doing online research, I found Almost Perfect Landscaping and I am NOT disappointed! Frank Porter the owner personally came to my home, and hit the yard running. In other words he walked through my property and provided me with what needed to be done in order to have a beautiful front and backyard lawn. Frank is very knowledgable, honest and very responsive. His team are efficient and professional. I highly recommend Almost Perfect Landscaping you will not be disappointed.

Almost Perfect Landscaping responded to my request to remove the snow from my residential property after the blizzard of 2016. I had been using another contractor for lawn maintenance and snow removal for many years -- spending thousands of dollars each year. The old contractor had not removed the snow from my property for two days after the blizzard and they were not sure if they would arrive three days after the blizzard. When I called Almost Perfect Landscaping recognizing that they would be extremely busy with their customers, the individual that answered the phone was very pleasant and said that they would be at my home the same day to remove the snow. The owner also spoke with me and said that the property would be cleared on the same day. I arrived home to find my driveway and walks clear. Almost Perfect provides outstanding customer service!! I will be using Almost Perfect Landscaping for my snow removal and lawn maintenance.

APL did a great job rehabbing my front yard. They aerated and reseeded my lawn, removed dead and dying plants, replanted, remulched, weeded and reconfigured my planting beds. I work 9-5 and dont have time to stay home to meet contractors. Frank was able to talk me through his ideas over the phone. I agreed with the general idea and left the decisions to him. I have to say Frank has a great eye. I love the plants he selected and the placement and reconfiguration of the front yard beds. My yard looks 100% better. They also did a spring cleaning for me. I was impressed by their thoroughness - they even moved pots and other items sitting on the ground so they could clean every crevice. I now have them maintain my yard as well and the crew is very efficient and professional.

January 22, 2017

Disappointed that I used their online contact form on their website, waited for about a week for a follow up call, and needed to call them directly for them to respond. The owner came out to see the property and promised an estimate. Never heard from him.

Contacted Almost Perfect Landscaping and within a day Mr. Frank Porter reached out to me and discussed what services they can do.

Highly recommend this company.

Trying to find a reliable and responsive company for most tasks can be complicated and finding someone to care for your lawn is no exception. I reached out to several landscapers based on referrals or just by seeing their vehicles pass on the street. Thankfully my daughter spotted Almost Perfects truck while coming home on the bus one day. Frank and his team over at Almost Perfect have been nothing more than Perfect from returning my initial call to coming out and giving some much TLC to my homes lawn. They were able to accommodate my needs right before the July 4th holiday as I was hosting guests and did not want them walking into the jungle that was my lawn. My lawn looked so great that I don;t even remember it looking so good before I purchased the house. You wont go wrong choosing Almost Perfect; I know I didnt.

I will start by saying Almost Perfect isnt just the best landscaper Ive ever worked with, theyre hands down the best customer service driven company Ive ever used. We received several bids from different companies for a complete Fall Clean up in our front and back yard. They completely stood out from the rest and completely the job timely. They were always in communication about what they were going to do and when. Flash forward I ended up using a different landscaper for my weekly lawn service which wasn t working out. My lawn was getting burned out, they were not showing up, very little communicate. I had enough, and asked if Frank could take us on. I am so glad he did. My lawn has come back to life, and always reachable when looking for estimates for additional services. Such as recently he weeded, treated and place woodchips all in my front gardens, and talked me through ways and less costly solutions for maintaining my front garden. Highly Recommend A+

Ok. Ill start by saying I am extremely picky about who I hire to do anything for me. I always get 3 estimates and even if youre the lowest price, if I dont like you...youre out. So in walks Frank. Oh, Frank. You stole my heart with your enthusiasm and ideas. From moment one, he knew that my (large) property was going to be an ongoing project. I wanted privacy trees planted along a side yard fence. A lot of them. 17 to be exact. But he was on board with, supported and even embellished upon my wants of all different evergreens with some deciduous trees. He led me through a nursery to choose trees (with my two kids, mind you) and then to his moms house to see how her layout/backdrop of different trees were. It was beautiful and very close to what I was looking to achieve. On to the planting. 17 trees were planned out, planted and mulched within 2 days. They look fabulous and I know that they will grow into a beautiful privacy screen. He added root hormones (which he swears by) to initiate the process of the roots taking to the surrounding soil. Any of the damage from the trucks bringing the trees in was raked and seeded for repair. The price was reasonable and the work was fantastic. All in all, I highly recommend Frank and his team. Im thrilled to have found my go-to-forever landscaping company.

My lawn was in terrible shape, front and back, following a removal of a couple of trees and some other problems. It needed a thorough clearing of remnants of roots, clearing of bushes, etc., additional topsoil being put down to even out surface, new grass being seeded. In short, the lawn needed to be saved! I contacted Almost Perfect in late September, Frank, the owner, got back to me quickly, came out and looked things over, discussed them with my wife and myself. Because there was little time left to do the fall seeding and because I had to travel, he arranged things so the work was actually done before my trip. I He had one crew come early in the morning of October 6, another later in the day, everything was done efficiently and thoroughly. I felt very good about my interaction with both Frank and his people. Some additional work was necessary subsequently, and it has been very easy to arrange. I intend to hire Almost Perfect again to help keep the property in good shape

From the first moment I spoke to Frank, or any member of the Almost Perfect team for that matter, I could tell he took pride in his work. The team truly wanted to provide me with exactly what I was looking for, without trying to up-sell me on additional features.

As far as I m concerned, Almost Perfect Landscaping lived up to its name. Thanks to Frank and his crew, in no time at all my neighbors are going to lose their unobstructed view of my pool and party deck and the front of my house went from drab to wow. I don t know the first thing about trees or shrubs and had absolutely no clue what the best ones would be to give me quick privacy and that wouldn t die in the yard of a person without a trace of a green thumb. Frank is a walking green encyclopedia and was able to give me expert advice and plenty of options to choose from. His crew showed up on time, were very professional and courteous, and even were kind enough to dispose of a giant tree branch that had been lying in my yard since last year. Overall I give them an A+ for a job that turned out better than I hoped for, and there s no doubt I will call on them again for my next landscaping project.

Frank and his team were extremely professional and the quality of the work was above expectations. Frank worked with us to come up with a plan that fit our budget and explained all the different options to us and our neighbors (it is a shared yard with the other owners in the building, and all needed to approve the work). The job was a fairly major renovation of the back yard. They removed the old fence and installed a new one (with a retaining wall, due to the slope between our yard and the next house over). We also had them remove the lawn, which was in very poor shape, replace it with gravel and remove the unsightly plants we had in the yard. They then installed edging around the planted areas, planted new trees and flowering plants, and mulched all the areas. The day of the job, the crew showed up on time and got straight to work, without any need for direction from us. The only time we needed to do anything was to approve the final layout of the plants. From beginning to end, the job was approximately 7 hours, including clean up. The price quoted to us during the planning phase was exactly what we paid in the end. All our neighbors congratulated us at the end of the day on the great improvement. We would recommend Almost Perfect Landscaping to anyone looking to improve their outdoor space.

Trying to find a landscaping company that worked around your schedule was difficult. I stumbled across Almost Perfect Landscaping through a search of landscapers in Bergen County on Google. I was extremely please, starting with the courteous office staff all the way through the workers dedication at my home.

I would highly recommend Almost Perfect Landscaping to anyone looking for landscape design along with yearly maintenance services and other project that you may be looking to do on your outside of your home.

I needed a last minute sod install before having a party and Frank was very accommodating and made it happen.

It has been several weeks since the Sod and Tree install and I followed Franks watering schedule and everything looks great.

Although plans for the walkway got dropped off his radar for a few months, Frank took ownership of the delay and saw that the job was completed right away.

Franks crew brought in soil, leveled and cleaned the property, trimmed trees and bushes, and created mulch beds around the tress. We called three landscapers for estimates and Frank Porter responded the quickest- within 24 hours. The other landscapers returned our calls three days after the initial call. Although Almost Perfect was slightly higher than the other two estimates we were extremely pleased with Franks presentation and knowing exactly what we wanted and needed. We were preparing the property to sell. Frank called and emailed us to inform when his crew would arrive. They arrived promptly and completed all the work as promised. What truly impressed us with Frank was that he wanted to ensure that we were 100% satisfied with the work before paying him. We made some small adjustments which he quickly responded. Frank was excellent in returning both calls and emails within a very reasonable time. The crew of about 5-6 seemed to be experienced and each worked their specific jobs with diligence. After the work was completed we decided to use Frank to maintain our property until it is sold. We were very pleased with his work and will highly recommend that the Buyers continue to use Almost Perfect.

We had a wonderful experience with Almost Perfect Landscaping and would highly recommend them. They are reasonably priced and really go above and beyond. We recently moved into a new home and tried to maintain the lawn ourselves in order to minimize our expenses. However, it became clear that we needed serious help - patches of dry / dead grass started showing up on our brand new lawn and the weeds were beyond our control - it was so bad that it almost looked like we had abandoned our home. I called Almost Perfect Landscaping on Monday morning. That afternoon Frank came over to give us a quote and on Tuesday, his team came to fix our lawn and our plants. They even surprised us and put in flowers at no extra charge!! The house looks BETTER than when we first moved in. Frank even came back later that day to inspect and make sure everything was perfect. This is a good company. They really take care of their clients.

Weve used Almost Perfect for our weekly landscaping needs, and winter snow removal services for years. But recently, we decided to put in a Generator. Franks team came in and prepared the area where the generator will be installed-it needed to be leveled off significantly, as well as having various established shrubs removed. They also installed underground gutters so that rain no longer collects at the base of our garage. While they were getting these items done, we discussed the condition of my driveway. While we were gone on vacation they repaired the cracks, leveled off the driveway, and sealed it. We came home to a gorgeous new driveway. Franks teams are always extremely professional and he responds quickly and efficiently. Frank comes out himself to view the job so that he knows exactly who to send and can explain the job with the detail required to do it right the first time. They are a great business to work with!!!

We hired Frank Porter at Almost Perfect to do the following work: re-grade an unsafe section of our back yard, which was torn up after we had 7 large trees removed, tear up a cement path, and install an underground drainage pipe. To say Frank Porter and Almost Perfect went above and beyond would be an understatement. Not only did they do an incredible job on the work discussed, they did an incredible job on work we didn t even expect them to do. We discussed re-grading only areas absolutely necessary for safety, this meant about half of the back yard. There were other areas that were not cosmetically appealing, but in the estimate, to keep the cost down, we decided to hold off on the cosmetic areas. In the end, the guys did all areas that needed attention, about 90% of the backyard (the remaining 10% didn t have any safety or cosmetic issues and didn t need to be done) and a portion of the front yard. We were shocked and thrilled to see how above and beyond they went. They yard looks incredible. Re-grading a yard requires some ancillary work, we didn t give much thought to this work since we didn t think we d really notice it. For instance, we knew they would mow the areas that were being re-graded, but they mowed the entire lawn, front and back, and finished it off with edging (we live on a corner lot, lots of edging!) and leaf removal over the entire lawn. We knew they would trim part of a large shrub in the back yard because it was shading some of the new seed, and they trimmed the entire thing it took almost 2 hours, it would have only taken a half hour to do the necessary area. Our yard has never looked better! We had an underground drainage pipe installed. In the original estimate we were only going to do one and hold off on a second pipe that needed to be done until next year. When the guys finished the first pipe, they had materials on site to do the second, so they offered to do it at a moderate cost, and we happily agreed (especially after seeing the excellent job they did on the first one). Last, but certainly not least, we wanted to put in two trees to memorialize loved ones lost this year. Frank told us to pick out whichever trees we wanted (he offered some suggestions of trees that would serve as beautiful memorials), he then gave them to us at his wholesale cost, and really went above and beyond when he installed them for free. His guys made a special trip to the nursery to pick out the trees we had chosen, and then to our house (on a separate day from when they did the rest of the work) to install our trees, which took two guys a over two hours two hours that we were not charged for, and with the material given to us at cost, this was obviously not a profit driven job at all. We did not think we d be able to afford this memorial for a few years, we are so grateful that Frank and Almost Perfect made it possible. It means so much to us and has already brought us much comfort. We can honestly say that we highly recommend Almost Perfect, we are thrilled with their work. Our yard has never looked better. We will definitely be using them for all of our future landscaping needs. Thanks Frank!

I needed landscaping work performed on my familys burial site in Paramus. I called Frank Porter. Within thirty-six hours he visited the site, discussed his recommendations with me and he provided estimates for various creative options and he quoted me fair pricing. As my family had been planning a service at the site over Thankgiving weekend, Frank promptly performed the work and provided us the comfort we needed, to know it would be ready beforehand. Frank Porter is responsive, courteous and reliable. He performs quality work at a fair price. I recommend that others use Almost Perfect Landscaping for their landscaping needs.

I met Frank Porter of Almost Perfect Landscaping about 4 weeks ago as a result of trying to locate a contractor to beautify my parent s yard as a Father s Day present. I called several companies and almost Perfect was the only who responded quickly and promptly. We discussed the scope of the project and then Frank asked me to send him send pictures so we could discuss budget. We went back and forth brain storming the project so I could get the most bang for our buck. The results were spectacular. Let me tell you this, these guys really know their stuff. One day 5 men did what would take us years to do. We suggested that they remove a tree and trim another to which he did not want to do because its severity and suggested that we find a tree removal company. We had trouble finding a company that would be able to remove the tree quickly and at a reasonable price. After telling Frank the issues that I was having he told me not to worry about it he would take care of it. He ended up trimming both trees which opened up the yard. This company goes above and beyond their call of duty. Next week he is planning in returning to customize our deck. I would trust this company with not almost anything I need done, but everything.

I have been using Frank for many years, He has never failed to perform in any task I have given him. After the hurricane, Frank was able to quickly secure a leaning pine tree for me as well as remove a smaller tree. This was in the week when trees were everywhere and no one was returning your phone calls. Frank and the crew come reliably week after week and make my yard look terrific. He is certainly upfront about his opinions and recommendations so you wont be unsure of his position! The biggest surprise was when he showed up at my doorstep last December presenting me with a Christmas bulb that I managed to get blooming in a few weeks! Great guy and great service. Highly recommended.
