A terrific group of professionals who provide great service. But about half of the many plants they installed never properly acclimated. I will never again use them for landscaping services.

Dear Justin LaGasse, Rigo De La Madriz, Eli, Kai, and crew, Thank you all so much for the time, energy, care, and creativity you contributed to our garden project, and to the installation of the new paver driveway and back patio. What began as an idea has grown into something beautiful because everyone pitched in, shared their talents, and worked together with such dedication. Whether you helped with planning, planting, gathering supplies, preparing the space, installing the pavers, offering advice, or lending a hand whenever it was needed, your contribution made a real difference. The garden, driveway, and patio now reflect the effort, generosity, and community spirit that each of you brought to the project. Marcia and I are truly grateful for everyone’s hard work and enthusiasm. Special mention to Eli, Kai, and their crew, who handled the bulk of the project. Thank you for helping create a welcoming space that we can all enjoy and be proud of for a long time to come. With sincere appreciation and gratitude, Paul and Marcia Mirr

Eli and Kai are such an extraordinary team to work with! These professionals work hard, are communicative, very conscientious about caring for the property, and they really know what they are doing. We were above and beyond impressed with their work. Eli did a great job of installing our lighting and showing us how to run the lighting through our phones. The plants we purchased through Artisan did what plants do - got a little stressed from moving but Artisan was right there, came out and replaced the few that needed assistance. This team is responsive, intelligent, and customer service oriented. Thank you Rigo, Luke, Eli and Kai. We appreciate you and recommend you to all.

These guys are awesome! I told them I wanted some outdoor lighting and they installed the most high-quality fixtures I can imagine. They help me put everything on a Wi-Fi controller and automatic timers. All of my neighbors immediately commented on how much nicer my house looks. I will be using Joey and Luke again to do my backyard next.
