Update 5-1-2026 Steve Shelly, the original owner, stood by his company. The new owner is refusing to replace a tree that died 2 months after it was planted. This was last summer. He said they would replace it in the fall because the roots will still grow during winter. Fall and winter has passed with no contact or…

The team was professional and friendly. They worked with us on the landscape design and then repaired and replaced the irrigation system according to the design.

I had been searching for a landscaping company for quite a while before I discovered Shelly Landscaping. Most companies don't service residential needs. The landscape consultant provided ideas I hadn't even realized were possible. I'm looking forward to getting the project started.

We have used Steve Shelly Landscapes for two major yard reconstructions (front and back) and have been extremely pleased with the results. The team is knowledgeable, helpful and thoroughly professional. We will use them for yard maintenance now and will expect the same great results!

The SS Team has been outstanding to work with. We hired them to design and construct our backyard landscaping. We have lots of elevation change in our yard, and SS designed and executed a wonderful layout that we'll enjoy for many years.

Great job of professional design and update of old landscaping, including digging out old tree roots and railroad ties, removing and replacing gravel, selection and installation of new plants and installation of brick edging and accent lighting.

Let me start off with saying Steve Shelly's crews do very professional work and are proud of it. We signed the contract in early December 2024 and were told that would take to mid summer 2025 to finish. It wasn't a huge job but they have a significant backlog so be prepared for a long process with incremental…
