Tony and his crew are the best! Just had drainage system done. They are dependable and hard working. They were done in less than a day and left the property clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Higher Ground Landscaping for your project.

The intent for the job was for them to remove the old mulch from my beds. They surprised me with a 20 minute notice (the work was scheduled for weeks out), they did not finish the work leaving debris behind and they damaged my driveways with their equipment.

I. am amazed at the professionalism and passion Tony has for this company. He took a lot of time to discuss my problems and helped me troubleshoot-sadly I was not able to utilize his services as I live 90 minutes away!
