Mike is very easy to work with. He communicates well and does very fine work. He replaced worn vinyl edging, installed new stone edging and seeded a shady part of our lawn (after bringing in new black dirt). Customer satisfaction is important to Mike. Also, he contributes a portion of his profits to earth-related charities. I would highly recommend Mike for your lawn & garden needs.

After being ghosted by a larger local landscaping company, I reached out to Michael to improve the look around my garage and deck, and to lay sod for a long-grassless section of the backyard. His choice of mandevillas, barberry bushes, and northwind switch grasses transformed the garage from boring to beautiful. He replaced a lot of wayward gravel and a pair of ugly bushes in front of the deck with simple but tasteful pavers, black mulch, and my chosen daylilies. The sod looks great after nearly three weeks of faithful watering, per his instructions. I appreciated his willingness to answer questions, provide floral ideas, and communicate arrival and departure times each day he was able to put work in. The job took a little longer and cost a little more than initially estimated. But the final result looks great, more than making up for those things. Should I need additional landscaping work, I plan to reach out again to Michael. I encourage you to do the same.
