As a homeowner, business owner, husband and father, I know the importance of creating and maintaining a beautiful residence and workspace. I started as a young kid picking up apples in my neighbor’s yard for 2 cents an apple. I loved being outdoors. I put  flyers in all of my neighbors’ mailboxes telling about my services and soon I graduated to cutting lawns after school. That was the beginning of my business. As it grew, so too did my love of gardening and landscape architecture.  I especially love seeing the before-and-after looks on my customers’ faces when they see their outdoor spaces transformed.  It’s always a great feeling to know a customer is satisfied.

Customer testimonials

  • “I contacted Kevin about sprucing up our lawn for a house we had recently purchased. He was responsive and gave great ideas on what we should do and the type of plants we should plant that won’t get eaten by deer. His guys came out a few days later and did a fantastic job! My hubby and I couldn’t be happier! Definitely will be using them for all of our landscaping needs!”

  • “Been using Kevin and his crew for 2 years now for spring cleanups and fertilizing and have to say they are great! Last year they planted some new shrubs in our existing beds and this year they put down new sod in the backyard. Looks amazing. Kevin is always responsive to emails and texts. Highly recommended him for your landscaping needs. Used many landscapers over the years and he is, by far, is very reliable. Always shows up when he says he will. Prices are great.”
