Contacted Sturgis Botanical for help with leaf removal and getting my yard ready for Spring. Michael did a terrific job, everything looks tidy and I will be working with him to get my lawn in shape! Will be consulting with Sturgis for other lawn and yard projects too! Highly recommended!

From one veteran to another, I can truly say Michael Sturgis at Sturgis Botanical Landscaping exceeded my expectations. I hired him to install privacy trees, and he took the time to walk me through everything—from spacing to the best layout for long-term growth and coverage. I chose a group mulching design for a more cohesive look, and I’m so glad I trusted his process.
The final result already looks clean and intentional, and I can tell it’s going to grow into exactly the privacy screen I envisioned. His communication was clear, his professionalism was top-tier, and the pride he takes in his work definitely shows. It’s always a plus doing business with someone who understands discipline and follow-through. Highly recommend!

Handled the job quickly and professionally. They were very knowledgeable and even recommended holding off on trimming a bush that was about to bloom even though it meant less money. Will use again.
Mike arrived on time and was extremely passionate about the project. He quickly identified what needed to be done, sent a quote, and once agreed, arrived to do the work. The results look promising, though grass takes some time to grow. Mike reassured me that he stands behind his work and would be happy to reasses and remedy any issues with the work should they arise.

Sturgis Botanical Landscaping did an excellent job trimming the shrubbery, cleaning out the ivy, and improving the overall appearance of the nature area in front of my house. I am so happy I discovered them on Thumbtack! They are very professional, passionate about what they do, and have a strong work ethic. They communicated effectively from the initial point of contact through the completion of the job. They listened to my concerns and honored my requests for how I envisioned the final product. If you are looking for someone who is respectful, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with please contact Sturgis Botanical Landscaping!
