Testimonials

In looking for a landscape design for our beach home we interviewed several recommended people but chose Coastal Concepts because Pat Rhoades had great ideas, was committed to make our yard design unique, was energetic and was very easy to work with.  Pat's mason did all the stone work and his work was amazing. Built a fireplace and beautiful patio for us just as we envisioned.

Coastal Concepts designed our backyard (2016) and front yard (2017) handling the design, stonework, plant and shrub recommendation with concern over our likes and dislikes, built in grill, the yard lighting, the irrigation, the flagpole and even the replant of existing shrubs where possible. Pat has great vision with a commitment to the budget and the maintenance of upkeep after he was done. We felt he cared as much about the completed project as we did. Pat was responsive and available before, during and after the project was done.

We highly recommend Coastal Concepts as we are a very pleased customer!

Innovative design; meticulous attention to detail; integrity in service. Readily accessible and available for questions or concerns. Gets the job done on time and in budget.

We hired Coastal Concepts to redesign our entire back yard and pool area. We have received numerous compliments on his unique design and how it differed from standard suburban design. His work was honored recently by our local Garden Club.

Pat Rhoades helped me redesign my outdoor living at the Jersey Shore into a dream backyard. He re-landscaped my entire property, designed and built a pool and deck and turned my backyard into a dream space. I can't say enough good things about his professionalism, the quality of his design, the attention to detail and execution. He was a true pleasure to work with. He puts his heart and soul into every project and shines through with his enthusiasm.

Kay LiCausi - Avon-by-the-Sea, NJ

I can't say enough good things about Coastal Concepts, led by Pat Rhoades. Pat took our completely bare land - post Superstorm Sandy - to a beautifully, established landscaped beach property in a relatively short period of time. Pat has a great eye for design and is incredibly knowledgeable about native plants and those that do well along the NJ coast. Additionally, Pat and his crew are truly customer oriented and willing to go the extra mile to make sure the job is done to your satisfaction. I would highly recommend Coastal Concepts.

Pat performed the design and installation of the landscaping on our newly built home in Spring Lake. His design was creative and original as well as fluid as we made changes as the installation progressed. Pat was a pleasure to work with. He's very easy to talk to and was able to take our ideas and wants and turn them into an awesome exterior space.

Elliot Solomon - Spring Lake, NJ

Coastal Concepts did an amazing job on our hardscape and landscape project! Our two-level bluestone patio looks phenomenal and our landscaping and lighting came out better than we imagined! We highly recommend Pat and Coastal Concepts for all of your hardscape and landscape needs!

Melissa Q. - Spring Lake Heights, NJ

Coastal Concepts did terrific work, at the time promised, and at a fair price. Mr. Rhoades is easy to work with and he is knowledgeable and fair.

Outdoor Lighting - after years of using cheap, dysfunctional "Big Box Store" outdoor lighting to illuminate our garden, patio and house we hired Pat to do the job the right way. Pat used top notch products and went above and beyond during the installation process by putting all lines in a conduit to help alleviate damage to wires when digging in the yard. We are thrilled with the job and constantly get compliments on his work.

We also use Pat for periodic landscaping projects such as mulching and general garden maintenance.

Reliable, competitively priced and a true pleasure to work with.

Rob Slifer - Spring Lake, NJ

We couldn't have been more pleased with Pat Rhodes and Coastal Concepts.  We were seeking a creative landscape design for our home to provide added curb appeal and all of our expectations were exceeded.  We had specific ideas in mind for our landscape and Pat did everything from design, plant selection, installation, and follow up.  We have received rave reviews from our neighbors, too!  We will definitely use Pat again for any of our landscaping needs.

 Joe and Donna Fortney - Spring Lake Heights, NJ

We were so impressed with the work Coastal Concepts did.  We had just built a new home and our yard was a disaster.  Patrick Rhoades blew us away with his design.  He took our ideas and added his own to give us exactly what we were looking for and more.  They completed the job on time and budget and our yard now looks amazing.  They were a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend!

Tom & Fran Jenkins – Spring Lake, NJ

We had Coastal Concepts come in to redo our overgrown front yard.  We were so pleased with the work they did that the following year we had them come back to redo our entire backyard as well.  And now this year I am having them come back to install landscape lighting so I won’t miss out on the views of my beautiful yard after the sun goes down!  Couldn’t be happier!
