Rick has spent more than three decades designing and building landscapes across the greater York area. He hand-designs every project, selects each plant alongside the client, and manages the job from the first sketch to the final stone.
“I commit myself to enhancing customers’ homes so they enjoy their outdoor space for many years to come. Maintained correctly, a landscape blooms more profusely as it matures — that’s my ultimate goal.”
Words from our clients
“These guys do great work and their prices are very competitive. I am a repeat customer — they have installed over 160 feet of retaining wall blocks, patio pavers and ground landscaping. They have excellent knowledge of these types of projects and they are great guys to work with.”
“Excellent craftsmanship! Decent and fair price and well worth it! The owner's knowledge on any plant, flower etc. is incredible. I very strongly recommend Meadow View Gardens for any hardscaping you want done — ponds, patios, waterfalls, flower beds and more.”
“Rick built our patio with fire pit and wall, and we couldn't be happier! The wall provides seats for family and friends to sit and talk around the fire at just the perfect distance. We have gotten so many compliments in just the few days since it was completed.”
“Meadow View just finished a project for us. We could not be happier with how it came out. Rick and his crew were wonderful and did a great job.”
