First I would like to say a job well done by Joe and his crew. He gave me and my wife a vision and made it happen we love the landscape improvements. We will use his services again in the future.

Local business feel, big business results. I needed some gravel removed in my backyard. Joe(owner) came out the same day and gave me a competitive quote that they stuck to. Scheduled an appointment and they arrived on time and got the job done in one day. I don’t have to explain how rare that is for landscaping companies. Even during an extremely busy time of year, Joe picked up the shovel himself along with TJ and delivered remarkable service. Extremely friendly, great guys to talk to, will recommend to anyone needing assistance. Summit improvements Landscaping will be my go to for all future projects.
Joe has an eye for what he does! He is very knowledgeable with plants. I would highly recommend and he has reasonable prices! Even on Memorial Day!

Promised quote on a landscape project within 48-72 hours. I reached out 5 times after that timeframe to be told he was out of town (apparently cell phones & email don’t work out of state) Avoided and dodged repeated calls and texts that were confirmed as read. Lied and Said he sent the quote and would send again. Unprofessional & Complete waste of time Avoid
We sincerely apologize for the experience you've had with our service. This is not the level of professionalism we strive to uphold. Your feedback is important to us, and we are taking it seriously to ensure this does not happen again. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will work to rectify the situation. Thank you for your understanding.
Loved working with the crew at Summit, their work is efficient and high quality! The owner has a science background that helped explain the most realistic way to make my vision work and how to keep it maintained. Overall a great experience!

Joe and his crew did a fantastic job. They went above and beyond to complete the job to my satisfaction.
