I met with them to form a plan. A few weeks later we had a lay out. It was very professionally done and I loved it. The overgrown bush were hideous. They pulled them out and added the new landscaping. I love it! It adds so much curb appeal. Everyone was amazing to work with throughout the process. I would highly recommend this company and I really love that they are a local company.

Had new landscaping done across the front of our house and beside our garage. Matt met with us and got our thoughts and designed. Matt brought plans over for our approval and then schedule the work. The guts were friendly and cleaned up after themselves. It looks great. Highly recommend Matt and his team.

We had an area of our yard that needed some TLC due to some erosion. Matt came out to see the property to see the damage and to hear what we were hoping to accomplish. He then came back to us later with some great suggestions that we ran with. The area looks amazing with the plants and the dry creek beds are working perfectly after some heavy rains that we have had recently. We could not be happier with the way it looks. Matt is very professional and has a good vision to help spruce up your property. I would recommend Matt & Hope and their company to anybody.
