These guys are great. Im on our community HOA board and my wife heads up our Beautification Committee so we interact with Rockaway in a few different ways. We agree theyre reliable, know plants, do great work with attention to detail and are easy to work with. From flowers to trees Greg has a good eye for what would look good where too, right plant right place. They charge us a fair price, in line with other options. No more complaints from residents. We changed vendors every 2 or so years before we found these guys. I grew up around the landscaping business and dont impress easily

Everyone was, so
