About Sitescapes
Landscape Design
Why Choose Us?
When you enter your property is there a pleasant connection between your house and the surrounding landscape? Does it feel inviting and provide the distinct feeling of being someplace extraordinary? All of us, when returning home from work or other outing, want to feel comfort, happiness, security, and stability. Our home is our sanctuary to which we escape from the stresses of everyday life.
Landscape Architecture is the process of developing a livable, attractive outdoor environment. A well executed landscape can positively influence the quality of life for those who use it. Landscape planning allows the designer along with the client to evaluate requirements and address site conditions. Of the many design considerations at work, perhaps the most important is ensuring that the various elements of your landscape work together. The relationship between indoors and outdoors is designed to reflect the tastes of the client and the architectural style of your home.
Educational Background
While in High school I attended night school at SUNY Farmingdale for Ornamental Horticulture and received my Associate’s degree. My main area of interest was, and still is, Residential Design.
My passion for this led me to attend SUNY Environmental Science and Forestry Landscape Architecture Program at Syracuse, NY. Graduating Cum Laude, with a degree in Landscape Architecture, I now have the pleasure of doing what I love best. Since 1997 Sitescapes has been honored to be part of designing and installing award-winning landscapes throughout the community.

Our mission
A landscape that is executed piecemeal can result in acres of disappointment. Sitescapes can play an important role in helping you turn your property into a functional and esthetically pleasing outdoor environment. I truly see the residential landscape as an extension of your home that provides a comfortable setting for its occupants.
I chose the name Sitescapes as a reflection of my design philosophies. One of which is site specific. I approach every project as a unique opportunity to take the clients needs, along with existing site conditions and transform these into innovative solutions. Solutions that will enhance the use of your site creating its own individual charm.
Your house and garden are not considered separate entities but seen as one cohesive unit where horticulture and architecture are joined to create a harmonious spatial experience. The landscape that results is an experience in space and time. The motivator is the client, the backdrop is the site, and the outcome is one that the family derives great pleasure from.

Testimonials
Neil Markey and his outstanding crew have done two big projects on our property, and the results have dramatically outpaced the cost. He is a visionary, professional landscape artist, a pleasure to work with, and the results give us continuous pleasure. It is important to note that he has been on site, actively engaged, through all of the work that was done. He imaginatively fills in around the specified work by dividing and/or relocating some existing plantings, to our great delight. Neil is truly a local treasure, and we can’t recommend him highly enough.
Sitescapes transformed my backyard into what friends refer to as the “resort”. Neil and his sons provided landscape design, masonry work, patios, waterfall for my pool, fire pit, lighting and beautiful plantings to complement the entire design. I very much enjoyed working with Neil at Sitescapes and in particular remain impressed with his attention to detail in an artistic way. I highly recommend working with Neil and Sitescapes!
We are delighted with the transformation to our property by Sitescapes Landscape Design. After considering many landscape companies, Sitescapes stood out above the rest. Sitescapes owner, Neil Markey, showed a genuine depth of experience and knowledge with design, hardscape, plantings, and accent lighting. Neil carefully listened to our vision for the project. He walked with us through the property and combined our wish list with his artistic talents. Neil provided a written plan, offered options, and patiently considered our opinions.
Once the landscape design plan was in place, Neil and his team initiated and completed the project within the timeline as promised. He and his team worked tirelessly, coordinated tasks safely, and communicated clearly through each phase of the operation. As weather or supply chain influenced the weekly tasks, Neil smoothly adapted the project to stay on target with steady progress. Our project included rock wall gardens, slate walkways, drainage considerations, a new driveway, Belgian block aprons, plantings, irrigation, accent lighting and village permits. Every step of the way, we were in good hands with Neil. Now as we walk through the property, we appreciate the beauty and workmanship created by Sitescapes. We highly recommend Neil and his hardworking team for their knowledge and capabilities. They will do wonders for your landscape and your home.
I had a decent budget to get a new bluestone patio installed, along with the rest of my back yard landscaped. I had an idea of what I wanted, but Niel (the owner) showed me another idea that worked out way better. I was blown away on the finished design, nothing I would’ve imagined, but I am in love with it. The crew was great and on time. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get work done, also look forward to Sitescapes doing more work for me. It looks better each year as the plants fill in.
I’ve used Sitescapes Landscaping Design Inc on 2 separate occasions now and have been very happy with Neil and his team. He was referred to us by someone who used him over 15 years ago and he definitely lived up to the recommendation. Neil is very professional and extremely knowledgeable with a great eye and vision. He takes pride in his work and is an expert in our local horticulture. Great communication as well, we have referred them to a few people we know.
