Cardinal Landscaping mows my lawn weekly, including edging the grass and leaving no clippings behind, without fail. They even removed a pile of branches, at no charge, after severe thunderstorms and tornados. I could not recommend Cardinal Landscaping enough. More than totally satisfied with their services.
Thank you so much! We truly appreciate your continued trust in Cardinal Landscaping. Our team takes pride in keeping all of our customers’ properties looking their best and being there when our customers need an extra hand. Thank you for your recommendation and for choosing Cardinal Landscaping!

This is my second time hiring Cardinal Landscaping, and once again, they did an amazing job! The first time I worked with them, I was very impressed, and this second project was just as great.
From the beginning, the process was quick, professional, and easy. They provided a clear proposal with pictures, which really helped me visualize the project before the work started. Everything turned out exactly as I hoped and looked even better once it was completed.
The quality of their work, attention to detail, and customer service are excellent. They were professional, efficient, and made the whole experience very easy.
I highly recommend Cardinal Landscaping to anyone looking for a landscaping company that does great work and truly cares about their customers. I’m very happy with the results and will definitely hire them again.

I’ve had lawn care services with Cardinal Landscaping for over 3 years. I have found that the services provided - mowing, maintenance of shrubbery and plants, seeding if the lawn- is done in a timely fashion. Through their care, my lawn has gone from weeds to a lush green. Oz and Yamie are responsive to my calls and Oz is always open to my concerns and suggestions. Cardinal workers also buried drain pipes competently and efficiently. I am pleased with their service.
