Mike responded right away to my inquiry and came for estimate, just as fast. He is not only very professional, but is extremely knowledgable in his field. Mike made the landscaping for my place, look amazing by using different plants and trees that he recommended. His employees were very hard working and nice. They completed my landscaping in one day, staying until dark to finish it for me. Mike added lighting in different areas for me, which look great. I love it! I would recommend MALA, LLC to anyone for their landscaping. My neighbor loved what they did to my place and is using MALA for their landscaping too. Thanks Mike, to you and all your employees for doing such a fantastic job on my landscaping. M.T.

Mike and team did a great job on my yard! He removed a lot of weeds and added rocks, which made the space look really nice and clean. He was professional, helpful, and got everything done in a timely manner. The price was very reasonable as well. Overall, I’m really happy with his work and would definitely recommend him to others
