  I highly recommend Mark to anyone who is looking for a quality landscaper to get the job done well, timely, and with follow-up care! I am new to Montgomery, and had to search for a contractor to revitalize our front and back yards. Time and time again, Mark’s name came out on top across conversations with neighbors, HOA, and church members. I needed dozens (about 40) of shrubs and flowers planted, our entire back yard sodded, and irrigation upgraded to preserve all that investment. But just to be sure, I reached out to 4 landscapers….Mark was the only highly responsive and prompt contractor who genuinely cares about his work and earning your business. He is honest, kind, attentive, and does a high-quality job in a timely manner. And here’s the kicker….after the work is done, he follows up to make sure everything is going right or if there’s anything you want adjusted. That is telling of a professional who puts his reputation on the line for each job to make sure it’s done right. Not just to the letter of a contract, but to make sure his customers truly enjoy the completed work. I will be using Mark moving forward for any new projects, and happy to chat with anyone about the quality of his work and interaction with his customers. Hire him and I’m confident you will be happy with the results like I am.

  Scott has put in a sprinkler system in two of my homes. I am so pleased that I can water my flowers with a touch of a button. I was spending money on flowers that I did not have time to water and he came out and did exactly what I asked. The price was very reasonable. Don't call anyone else. Call Scott. I'm adding a pic of my house. I had Mark to add lights. I love It.

  Highly recommend! He was quick to respond and did a great job with several projects around our yard, including installing a new sprinkler head in an existing zone, adding an entirely new sprinkler zone for our hedges, and relocating another sprinkler head. He and his crew were timely, professional, and clearly took pride in their work. I also really appreciated how quickly they came back out to correct a small issue I noticed after the job was finished. Great customer service from start to finish. Definitely worth the investment, and I would not hesitate to use them again!

  Mr. Mark Scott was wonderful! We had a tree fall and break our water main and irrigation control and he arrived within hours to help. He worked through a downpour to get our water restored and stayed late to finish the job in one day. I have kids and he made sure we were able to have running water as quickly as anyone could have. He was above and beyond kind with my 4 year old watching. Mr. Mark talked to him while he worked and could not have been any greater. He was beyond fair in pricing since he could have charged us extra for coming quickly and completing the project in the same day (and since we had no running water until the job was done) but he did NOT take advantage of our vulnerable situation BUT was rather more fair in his pricing than other work we have had done by other companies in the past. I would recommend Mr. Scott and appreciated his help and kindness.

  I have an in-ground vinyl liner pool that would occasionally float during or after heavy rain. I contacted Mr. Mark Scott of Lawns by Scott, LLC, regarding drainage issues around the pool. He recommended installing a French drain on one side of my deck and a sump pump on the other side. On May 19, 2025, he installed the French drain and sump pump for $5,900. However, on May 27, we experienced heavy rain, and the pool liner floated. I sent a video to Mark, and he claimed that the water was coming from another source. We then discussed the possibility of installing a 4-inch trench drain to replace the 1-inch drain that the pool company had previously installed, which would cost an additional $3,800. On June 3, I noticed that the red light on the GFCI outlet was illuminated. Mark had plugged the sump pump's extension cord into this outlet. Yes, you read that correctly—Mark used an extension cord. I attempted to reset the outlet, but it did not work. I informed Mark that I had called an electrician to assess the issue. He became defensive and stated that he would not cover the repair costs. However, legally, he should be responsible since it was his installation that was incorrect. Mark also mentioned that a similar issue had occurred with another client, whose electrician had told him that he should have used a conduit. This raised my concern that Mark is aware he is installing sump pumps incorrectly. He then suggested that I use one of my extension cords to plug the sump pump's extension cord into a GFCI outlet in the garage. I refused this suggestion, as it seemed both dangerous and unwise. On June 6, the electrician evaluated Mark’s work and deemed it "incorrect, incompetent, not up to code, and a safety hazard." He warned that if Mark continues to connect sump pumps in this manner, he would seriously injure or kill someone. The electrician noted that Mark had plugged the sump pump cord into an extension cord that was buried underground, through concrete, and beneath pine straw, connecting it to the GFCI outlet. Additionally, he pointed out that both the sump pump and extension cord plugs were wrapped in duct tape. The electrician, a licensed master electrician, corrected Mark’s work for $1,500. The electrician indicated that he believed the pool liner floated on May 27 due to the sump pump not functioning because the extension cord had shorted out the GFCI outlet when groundwater made contact with it. I hope anyone reading this review considers the risks before hiring Mark to install a sump pump. He repeatedly asserted that he has a lot of experience and that nothing has ever gone wrong in the past. However, my experience tells a different story. I am grateful that the GFCI outlet worked as intended, preventing a potential fire, and that no one was hurt. It is shameful that I paid Mark almost $6,000 for a job and he did it incorrectly, leading me to pay an additional $1,500 to correct his mistakes. I am giving this experience a rating of 1 out of 5 stars, the lowest rating possible. The pictures I am including show the extension cord buried in the ground, beneath pine straw, and through concrete, along with an incorrect sealant on the concrete. There are also images of the two plugs connected and wrapped with duct tape.
