"“Thanks so much again for all your help with the landscaping, I love my yard! After a crazy day, I come home, pour a glass of wine and go outside with Maggie and I am relaxed and happy there … so glad I did it last year.”"

"I wanted to say thank you for the awesome (irrigation) job the guys did at my house. They are pros!"

"I am very happy with the mowing crew. They are doing a great job!"

"GREAT JOB! When all the (landscape) work is complete I am considering seasonal services."

"We had Summit remove our old mulch and lay some stone in its place. They were quick, the mess was cleaned up when they were done, and the price was the best I could find!!"

"Summit is SUPER. In the winter, I always know that I won't have any trouble with snow -- in fact, when we get nighttime snow, they are here in the dark plowing. And the sidewalks and drive are always done on time. Eric especially is great. He sprays for the health of the vegetation and also to keep creepy crawlies away. My wife has breathing problems and the first time he came around this past Spring to spray. I asked him if he would let us know ahead of time so we could close our windows. Well, he never needed another reminder. He's ring our doorbell to let us know that he'd be spraying later. With our windows shut, my wife had no ill effects Thanks to Eric and thanks to Summit."

"Just left there got gravel very friendly very easy to deal with only spent 50 bucks treated me like I spent 500 I like em"

"They did an excellent job! We have a large yard with many trees. All of the leaves were cleaned up and our lawn was edged. Thank you!"

"Great service great people. I had a large oak tree limb fall onto my fence and took out my power and internet. As soon as Consumers took care of the power line and electrical issues Summit had a crew there the next day chopping up the branch cleaning up the mess the branch caused. I could not be any happier with the job they did."

"I hired Summit Landscaping to roll and aerate my yard this Spring. They were prompt to return my call, provided a reasonable quote, and got the job done quickly and professionally. Working with them is easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend them!"

"I worked here for a period of time, and also now use them for a variety of services. About the nicest group of people to work with and they always do great work. Had a large landscape project done in my yard including stone steps, elevated stone wall, irrigation, and regular maintenance."
