Edwin and his team did an excellent job giving our landscape a mid-summer refresh. Weeded, re-edged all the beds, and pruned our property and it looks terrific. Essential always gives us great service and we love their crew.

We switched to Essential Landscapes this year from a previous company, and we’ve been very pleased with the results. We appreciate that the owner Tim has made himself available on multiple occasions to walk our yard and discuss the work that we want done.

Essential has been a big part of making my lawn look fantastic! My biggest concern when I hired them was communication, as my past landscapers were not good at that. Tim assured me I could reach out to him at any time and four years later that still hold true. Highly recommend Essential Landscapes.
