The crew managed a drainage correction project in our backyard. Water used to collect near the patio, but they installed a French drain and adjusted the grading. The improvement was noticeable after the first rainfall. They explained the system and how to maintain it, which was helpful. Their work pace was steady, and they kept me updated during each stage. The materials used seem durable, and the installation appears solid. This project addressed a long-standing issue effectively.

they handled tree trimming and hedge shaping at our property, and the results look clean and controlled. branches were removed carefully without damaging nearby plants. the hedges now have a more uniform appearance, which makes the yard look organized. cleanup was done right after, and there wasnt much left behind. communication was simple and direct. the work itself met expectations and improved the overall look of the space.

The layout feels balanced, and the pathways blend naturally with the planting areas. Their team showed strong attention to detail, especially when installing edging and mulch layers. They also provided a clear maintenance guide, which has been helpful. The project stayed close to the estimated budget, which I appreciated.

i had them come out for lawn aeration and fertilization, and they did a decent job overall. the grass looks healthier now and the color is more even. they explained the process but some parts was a bit confusing at first. still, they answered my questions and followed through with the treatment plan. scheduling was easy and they showed up when they said they would. would consider using them again for seasonal maintenance.

The staff handled our front yard redesign with a steady and organized approach. They started with a soil assessment and recommended a mix of drought-tolerant plants that fit well with our climate. Their scheduling was consistent, and they communicated clearly about timelines. There was a moment where I wasn’t sure about the placement of a few shrubs, but they explained the reasoning behind spacing and growth patterns, which made sense. The installation of the irrigation system also seemed carefully done, and it has been working without issues. Overall, the process felt structured and reliable, and the results match what was discussed during planning.

these guys did a patio extension and some basic hardscaping around our garden beds. the paver alignment looks consistent, and the edges are clean. they also added mulch and adjusted the irrigation lines to fit the new layout. communication was mostly clear, though there were a couple of small delays. still, they explained everything and made adjustments when needed. overall the space feels more usable now and the materials they used seem durable enough for long term use.

I recently worked with Preferred Deer Valley Landscaping for a backyard grading and sod installation project. The crew arrived on time and took time to walk me through each step before beginning. They adjusted the slope properly to prevent water pooling, which had been an issue before. The sod placement was even, and they provided useful maintenance tips afterward. Their professionalism stood out, especially in how they kept the work area clean throughout the project. While the timeline was slightly longer than expected, the final result justified the wait. The yard now looks cohesive and drains much better than before.

The crew refreshed the flower beds with new mulch and shaped the borders very neatly. It made a visible difference in the overall appearance of the front of the house. Communication was straightforward and they didn’t overcomplicate the process. I felt comfortable trusting them to choose the right type of mulch for the soil.

They came for a one-time cleanup after a storm knocked down branches. I didn’t expect such quick turnaround but they scheduled me within two days. The driveway and garden beds were cleared out without damage to the flowers. It’s reassuring to know they can handle unexpected jobs like that.
