I cannot recommend this landscaping company enough! From the moment we reached out, Paul was incredibly communicative and transparent about his process. You can tell he's been in the biz for a while and knows what he's doing. He worked with us to bring our vision to life, staying within our budget without compromising quality. He did a great job setting expectations and executing them flawlessly. We've been raving about them to everyone we know! Thank you, Paul!

We had a great experience with PTL Landscaping and Maintenance! Paul is super friendly and communicative. He suggested ways to improve the water pooling problem in our backyard and was able to work around limitations with our property to find a solution. The finished work looks spectacular. Highly, highly recommend!

We scheduled 10 days in advance to work around their busy schedule. I also scheduled time away from work for their appointment. They had asked that I communicate via text vs this app which I did. This morning I left work to be available. As the minutes ticked my I kept checking my phone for any updates from them. After 30 minutes and no text I decided to check the app even though they said to use text. There in an app was a message (after the set time of the appointment) asking to schedule for another day. I get that things come up but notifying me late after I had left work is very unprofessional. And then doing it through the app after saying text to communicate is even more frustrating. Heading back to work and looking for other service providers this weekend.

PTL Landscaping & Maintenance, Inc.'s reply
Hi Kimra- yes, we did text you at 7am the morning of our appointment. We asked you to reschedule due to the warnings from the thunderstorms in the area. You texted back at 9:15am. You said no need to reschedule, that it was clear and dry outside and you had been “out in the yard all morning”.

Paul and his crew did a great job on our sod installation and reconstructing our outdoor drainage for better water control in our backyard. No more standing rain water thanks to him! They were prompt and worked hard at getting the tasks done efficiently. The communication was also excellent. All of my questions and emails were answered without delay. Thanks Paul and team!

FAQs

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    When PTL was founded, we started as a design & Construction/ Installation of landscapes. We started adding services such as maintenance & snow plowing to help our customers, Once the landscape install was completed. Today We run 2 full maintenance crews and a Full time Construction crew- completing tasks such as- Design/install, Hardscape construction, Landscape enhancement/Renovation Seasonal color,tree,shrubs sod etc. The christmas Lights/Decor came from our owners love of christmas. As a kid he would hang lights on his parents home, which in turn neighbors,friends and family starting asking for help. Today we hang and store Lights for about 50 homes.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Hire a professional firm,who are trained and skilled in what they do. Make sure they have some online or social media present. Ask for proof of insurance. Look at their reviews, ask if the can provide references. If they provide a very low bid, be sure you are comparing apples to apples. Never be afraid to ask questions, a professional will always be able to provide insite and answers.

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

    Now a days, everyone seems to be a lawn service. I believe in the old school thinking that if you hire a true landscape firm, Your hiring a gardner. That knows his trade and what it takes to make your lawn and landscape like pristine. Before you hire your gardner do some research-not all online reviews are correct. Is he insured?
