We recently had Sel and his team complete a landscaping project at our home. This included removing flagstone and putting in new sod in our backyard, replacing landscape fabric and pea gravel around 2 sides of our garage, fixing an irrigation issue, digging up a foot deep of clay/rocky soil in our 2 front beds and replacing with organic, high quality bedding, installing edging around our beds and planting new bushes/flowers in those beds. Sel never tried to oversell us on services which we appreciated. He offered suggestions, listened to what we envisioned, and created something we were very happy with. He also worked beside his team daily to complete this work. They showed up when they said they would, and always cleaned up at the end of the day. We love our new landscaping and highly recommend Sel and his team.

I recently hired Sel and his team for a major landscaping project, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results! The job involved replacing sod for a large garden, trimming trees & stump grinding, designing a beautiful lawn layout with a well-structured flower bed, and adding mulch and decorative stones for a polished finish. From start to finish, their professionalism, attention to detail, and craftsmanship were outstanding. They carefully planned the design, ensuring everything complemented the space perfectly. The sod was laid seamlessly, giving my lawn a lush, healthy look, and the flower bed was beautifully arranged with just the right balance of mulch and stones to enhance the aesthetic. What impressed me most was their efficiency and dedication to quality. They worked diligently, completed the project on time, and left everything immaculate. It’s rare to find a team that combines expertise with such great customer service! I highly recommend Sel to anyone looking for top-tier landscaping services. I will definitely be using them again for future projects! Big or small.

When we described what we wanted, he did some mock up images to show us different design concepts. We ultimately decided to repair our existing patio, but appreciated his quick response and suggestions.

I heard about Bel and his team from a neighbor who had some gardens re-done. They looked fantastic and the plant selection was impressive. While it did take Bel and I a few attempts to connect for an initial job-walk, it was worth it. The job was to remove a stone and concrete patio which was not going to be easy. First, while he did have some suggestions he did not over sell extra services for other gardens. He gave some great advice on how to care for a few plants we already had. Second, his team made quick work of the job and the quality was great. Bel was very communicative on progress and sent photos if I was not home. Lastly, Bel stuck by his initial quote even as the scope changed. For example, we had a generator installed which caused some additional grass to die. Bel’s team repaired all the damaged areas without any issue at all. They were also very respectful and cleaned up after themselves. Pricing was middle of the road but would highly recommend as they did a great job and feel like I can trust them to not oversell but be truthful to accomplish my vision.
