The fence is perfect. Their attention to detail impressive and creativity in solving the problems one encounters in working in an existing landscape too notch.
From Francisco to foreman Carlos and Eva in the office every interaction was joyful and the crew incredibly respectful and hard working.
If you are looking for a team that does professional and beautiful work, and you’ll miss when they’re finished, Sunshine Landscaping is a great choice.
Thank you for creating our dream fence!

Francisco and his company Sunshine Landscaping
& Pools have taken excellent care of my yard for probably 6 years.They always clean up after themselves, they are always on time, and are willing to do as much or as little as you want. His company keeps growing because of their good service. I am happy to recommend this business.
They offer many services from sprinkler repair to planting flowers.
This is the second project that Sunshine has done for us. They do a great job and we would use them again
