Garden Guys Landscaping, a landscaping and snow removal company based in Cape Elizabeth, was founded by Jack Vose in 2016, according to its website. The site says the business began as a high school summer job that Vose ran with minimal equipment before it grew into a full-service company covering Southern Maine. Vose went on to complete a University of Maine program in civil and environmental engineering, according to its website, which credits that training with shaping his focus on environmental stewardship and the quality of his crews' work.

Residential and Commercial Work

The company's residential lineup covers landscape design and installation of sod, trees and shrubs; hardscape projects such as patios, walkways and retaining walls; routine lawn care including mowing, aeration and overseeding; ongoing upkeep such as pruning, mulching and cleanups; and seasonal plowing and ice management, according to its website. On the commercial side, the site lists grounds maintenance contracts with weekly mowing, commercial hardscape work such as entries and retaining walls, and snow and ice management for parking lots and walkways at properties including retail centers, office parks, homeowner associations and health care facilities.

Serving Southern Maine Towns

Garden Guys Landscaping's website names Cape Elizabeth, Falmouth, Old Orchard Beach, Portland, Scarborough, South Portland and Westbrook as part of its Southern Maine service area. The company describes its project process as starting with a property visit to discuss a client's goals, followed by a detailed plan, the installation work itself, and a final walkthrough backed by what it calls a satisfaction guarantee.

Community Involvement

Beyond its paid services, the company's website says it takes part in community involvement efforts, including an annual food drive. The site also publishes gardening guidance for the region, with posts on dethatching versus aerating a Maine lawn, what to cut back in a Southern Maine yard heading into fall, and landscaping advice for oceanfront properties along the Maine coast.
